I have kept a reef tank, Anenome tank and F/W plant tanks. Now I am going to try African Cichlids. But I really would like to do this right the first time. I just shut down a 55 gal. F/W tank, and plan on making it an African Cichlid tank with Lake Malawi Cichlids. This is what I have planned...

I was looking at my reef the other day and noticied what looks like an aptasia but it has a green disc. Has anyone ever seen an aptasia with anything but a brown disc. I am trying to get a picture of it later today. I do have button polyps brown and green in my tank but this looks different.

A while ago f250god had done a review on the new Fluval 404 cannister filter. The filter would not run again after servicing it. We had just purchased the same filter just prior to this review and we hoped we would not have the same problem. We did, but after some tinkering with the filter my...

I am going to be helping a friend set up a S/W fish only tank. Using dead coral and crushed coral for substrate. Size of the tank will be either a 75 gal. or 120 gal. (Has to talk to the wife ). If he uses a sump partioned for a foam block and carbon would a cannister filter still be needed...

When I took my 75 gal. reef down due to a leak(new tank being setup) I was able to get this picture of a worm I had only seen from below the tank. Is this a harmless type of Bristle worm. Must have been in my tank from the begining, never bothered anything. I just don't want to put it back in my...

My 75 gal. reef sprung a leak last night. Luckily I had a 29 gal. sitting around and was able to borrow another 29 gal tank from Sleeplesslwd. I moved all coral and fish to another tank and all my LR and about two thirds of the LS. The rest was really dirty. I don't see any tank cracks in the...
