Any guess what this stuff is? Not the polyps. :-) Is there a red coraline algea?

This is my first go at aquaria. I have been very interested for quite a long time and have done a fair amount of research. I decided that it was finally time. I found a good deal on an established tank included several fish from my wish list. It was in need of some love (and cleaning). I got it...

I purchased an entire tank setup and I'm slowly upgrading it. Today I'm adding lights. It is a 75 gallon reef with a 30 gallon sump. 75 lbs of live rock. It currently has a 48 inch T12 10,000 K and a 48 inch T12 50/50 actinic. I only have enough room to add 2 more bulbs so I am going to...

I currently have a 75 gallon DT with a 20 gallon sump. I will soon be switching to a 125 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. I had to replace my protein skimmer so I figured that I should buy the skimmer for the 125. Planning ahead. My concern is that I found a really good deal on an octopus...

I just bought my first saltwater tank this week. It has crushed coral in it but it's barely even enough to cover the bottom. When my snails move through it I can see the glass. My question is (sometimes I ramble on) I want to change the substrate to sand, do I need to remove the crushed coral or...
