Hey all just wanted to share a tip I learned from a friend about rodi systems. Any system I have seen has the di resin in canisters mounted horizontally. If you flip them to sit vertical the di is much much more effective. I did this months ago after seeing my tds increase (it was either 20 or...

Hey all, so today I found my tang stuck to the powerhead. I think I'm done with tangs. Want some suggestions on some nice colorful and active swimmers to take the tangs place in my 90g. Ideally I want something fairly low maintenance (not have to feed multiple times a day) as I'm gonna be...

Hey all, I have a 90g reef tank and am wondering if there is a suitably sized species of pufferfish that is reef safe. I've always wanted a pufferfish (my last name is puffer) and have never gotten one as I like my reef tank more. Any help would be awesome.

Hey everyone, as the title suggests this will be a clam showcase thread. I'm thinking of adding a clam to my 90g reef and am leaning towards an Ultra Blue Maxima. I'm curious to see what other people are keeping for clams and how they care for them. Post pictures and details and show the world...

Well as the title states I want to know what everyone keeps their alkalinity level at. I have been following a thread on dosing alk and am curious as to what level yields the best growth, color and stability. I know carbonate hardness has an effect on calcium levels so on that note what do you...

So I am looking for some new coral for my tank after I stupidly nuked a bunch. I have my heart set on a few- orange torch, blueberry gorgonian, sun coral, red monti cap, and I will likely try to replace my rainbow monti. I am looking for suggestions on some nice types of coral (specifically SPS)...

Hey all, I got these zoas about a month ago and would like to know what the "common" name for them is as I've never seen them before.

i have recently bought a new tank for an upgrade and as part of the upgrade i am wanting to get some new lights. i currently have a 6 lamp t5ho fixture (currently on my 55g and will be going onto thenew 90g till i get new lights) both tanks are 4 footers. i am leaning towards led. anyone know of...

i recently got a 90g RR tank with corner overflow. i am at a loss as to how to do thestandpipe. im leaning towards a durso but from what ive read they tend to be noisier and more finicky. i would love to do the system that has 3 drain pipes one under full syphon one as just a makeup drain that...

Well as some of you know I have a 55g reef tank. I have planned an upgrade and due to some other things happening I pulled the trigger rather than put it off longer. Well I've started by just picking up a brand new 90 gallon reed ready tank and in time will be turning my 55g into the sump. My...

I noticed this "polyp" looking thing on the base of my birdsnest and not entirely sure what it is. I think it's a nem but I'm no expert so would like some input please.

I first noticed this in my tank about a month ago, It just popped up on a piece of my original live rock. It's the dark green thing, almost looks like some sort of plant sprouting. It is squishy and it is growing.

I Have been a member on this forum for quite some time and would like to express something that I'm sure we have all experienced. This is in no means meant as a deterrent to new comers and novice aquarists. I have become increasingly frustrated over the last few months by constant ich and...

So I got some new coral today and one of them is a frag of some form of purple sps. No idea what it is but it wasn't looking to good in the sellers tank and hopefully will do well in mine. It's odd cause it looks like it almost died and came back which caused odd encrusting flares at the bottom...

So I have a 55g reef tank with a starry blenny, fox face and a pair of misbar oscelleris clown fish. I have been wanting to add another fish for a while and am overwhelmed with possibilities. I would like something that stays smaller like 3 inches or less. Reef safe is a must and I would like it...

K guys so as I'm sure most you are aware it's hard to capture the full color of your corals in a picture, especially with a phone camera. Well I kinda stumbled onto something that helps and doesn't require adjusting contrast and junk. SUNGLASSES, that's right we all have them and now you can use...

Hey all, sorry but I don't have pics so I have to describe what I found. First off I have a torch coral that has a thin layer of its skeleton that appears to be flaking off, while looking closer I realized it actually moves which is when I noticed what appears to be a mantle. I suspect it is a...

So I have all my fish removed from my DT for treatment. My blenny had internal worms and I was seeing some fin rot on my clowns. I also had some suspicions my fox face may have had flukes but nothing confirmed. The treatment has been going for two weeks and was wanting input on how long I should...

Well as the title says!!!! I have a tank that's been up and running for a few months now and have collected a pretty good amount of corals. I have LPS sps and softies. I am also starting to see alot of coralline growth and feather dusters also. Now to the heart of the thread, what are people's...

Hey all, I recently picked up some sps frags I know what 2 of them are but no idea on the other 3. Not sure how well the pictures will turn out but if there are issues I will try to get some better ones.

I know these are zoas just wanting to know what the name is for the color variant. My camera doesn't quite capture the color. They are green center with a bright yellow fringe. I did some google work and they look to me to be radioactive zoas, any input?

So I have these tubes on my live rock. I did some google searching before and came to the conclusion they are sponges but recently I have noticed what looks like feeder tentacles coming out of them. You can actually see them in the picture. I have three of these things all in a little cluster...

Hey all, I have a pair of oscelleris misbar clowns and they are both starting to develop black spots throughout their body. The spots are only on the orange part of the body and both fish seem happy and healthy, no flashing, eating readily and water params are all top notch. I've heard of black...

I have a 55g and have added a couple small zoas and my father in law got a 27g that came with everything including some coral and we don't know kind they are. His tank also came with some anemones that we need identified also. The odd thing is his clownfish is hosting one of the nems.

so im currently cycling my 55g to start a reef tank and have happened across seahorses frequently while researching various things. i take it as a sign that i need seahorses. how freaking awesome would that be, friend comes over "oh nice aquarium" and the response being "ya thats my seahorse...
