I have Marco rock in my biocube. I love it, its interesting, full of holes, stacks well, has a million hiding places, makes great caves, I would recommend it.

I bought an Ultra Eagle Eye Zoa frag yesterday at a Reef Fest. While there, it looked like it had lemon yellow edges. In my own tank, a standard biocube with actinic lights, it just looks lime green on the edges. Is this due to being seen under a different light? Would a metal halide light make...

My firefish goby disappears for days at a time. The clownfish annoy it and it hides deep in the rockwork. It's getting a little braver, I'm seeing it more and more, but I don't worry anymore when I don't see it for a couple of days.

Evaporation and rain aren't a water change, all that is changing is the concentrations of whatever is in the water. No different than topping off a fish tank. I periodically siphon several hundred gallons of water out of my pond and replace it with fresh water and the proper conditioners. With...

I just got a new Hammer for my tank. It has four heads. I set it's plastic bag on the aquarium stand and after I walked away it rolled off and landed on the floor. I put it in my tank and it seems to be opening up, not sure yet how damaged it is. Hopefully it will be ok. My question is about the...

I have a 29g biocube. I have had my yellow watchman goby for just over a week. Three times now, he and his pistol shrimp buddy have set up a nice home at the base of a rock only to have the brittle star take it over and kick them out. I've had the brittle star for over a month and every few...

I recently got a black brittle star. It seems happy, eating and cruising the tank at night. However, I'm not sure that my caves are big enough for it, it can't fit more than half of itself in the cave at one time. Sometimes it doesn't even get it's central disk all the way covered. My question...

Yeah, that was my thinking, wouldn't I just be washing away whatever is left that is still alive. Also, wouldn't whatever is dead just contribute to cycling? My tank should be coming in the mail tomorrow. I've already got my saltwater mixing right now. I'm anxious to get the process moving...

Thanks for the welcome! I can't wait to really get going. Yeah, I wasn't too clear on my wording. I know that not much will be alive in the bagged sand. I just wondered if I should try to support what life is left in there, maybe evens start somewhat of a cycle, or just plan on rinsing out the...

My husband bought a bunch of aquarium items for me for my birthday, two of them are a 29g biocube and a big bag of 'live' sand. The sand is here, the cube should be here tuesday. I was wondering if I should put the sand in a tub with saltwater and aeration until the cube gets here. Would that be...
