Ok so I completely redid my 40g tank with my friend and I think it went well. I decided to go bare bottom since I like a lot of flow and also I've had enough powerheads fall and stir up the sand. There's about 80 pounds of live rock. The lighting is a t5ho 6x39w fixture. Right now there are two...

Hi, I have a 40g breeder tank that has major algae problems. I'm almost 100% sure that it's my live rocks fault because I got it second hand off of Craigslist from someone who was tearing down their tank. I never got to see the tank up and running because the person took the rock out of the...

Want to upgrade my tank (75) to something very large. I have checked out glasscages.com and really liked their options and with everything selected it would be $2200 for a 300g tank reef ready with stand and sapphire glass. Are there any more websites to buy tanks from? Anyone here every use...

About 2 weeks ago,I decided that since I was eventually going to upgrade to a huge tank, I wanted a shark so I got this egg. Right now the egg is in a 5.5 g tank with a HOB filter and a heater. I heard that the htter you make the tank, the faster the egg hatches, is that true? The water is at...

Recently I've been neglecting to finally finish stocking my 40g reef tank, but I'm not sure what to stock with. My current inhabitants are 2 occelaris clowns, a lawnmower blenny, and a twin spot goby. I don't want anything too aggressive. Thanks for any help!

Got a Sailfin tang from a crappy lfs(never again!) and it is not eating and just going with the current, hitting itself on rocks and the walls. It's only about an inch and a half right now. It's stomach doesn't look pinch, but the width looks thin. I have it in a small 5.5 gallon qt right now...

Caught this pufferfish with a net and was hoping someone can identify it?

Went to my lfs and they had the cutesy little Picasso trigger. They said it was a bursa trigger but I'm not stupid and even looked it up and it was indeed a Picasso. It cost me $20. What are everyone's experience with them? So far it seems pretty docile, just swimming around nonchalantly. What...

Purchased a twin spot goby pair because they usually do better in pairs but one has died :/ I found a hermit crab eating it. Now I have a lone goby and was wondering if I should try to buy another one to try to pair it up. Is there any distinctions between male and female? Should I just get 2 or...

Have a 75g fowlr, and REALLY want a fish with big personality. I heard triggers are nice, and they will even let you touch them so I'm really interested in one. Right now I have a maroon clown, yellow tang, kole tang, snowflake eel, and a chromis. The chromis will be moved to my 40g tank. Am I...

I'm finally buying one and need one that works with my hose. Any links links will help. Thanks.

Hey everyone. I've been noticing that my blue tang has been looking a little beat up, and today I found out why. Every night he sleeps right against a 1300gph powerhead, bumping and scratching his side. My maroon clown was floating near the top and not eating very much. It's tail is missing a...

Got a new Kenmore fridge since the old one went up in flames (literally) and it says the water is filtered. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Is it RO water, DI water, or both? Is there a way to test for chloramines?

Literally have no room for a separate refugium for my 75g tank, so I'm planning on converting my emperor 400 filter into a HOB refugium. I plan on putting a few mangroves, and chaeto algae as well as some sand. How many mangroves should I put? I already found one and I was think 5-10. It has...

I have a 40g breeder and so far only have a pair of clowns in it. I really want an angelfish in there, but this tank is going to be SPS dominated with a mix of other corals. Has anyone had an angelfish do well in a reef tank? Thanks.

O I just got a nova extreme pro 6x39w t5ho system and I really hate the bulbs it came with. Can anyone help me pic out a good bulb combination? Can people perhaps say what they run on their fixture and takes a fts for reference? I heard this was a good combo Front Blue Plus (ATI) Blue Plus...

My calcium is 480 and my dKH is at 9, is that good?

Caught him in the keys. He's about the size of a golfball

Just got my nova extreme pro 6x39w fixture and I think it's way too white. I was thinking of switching some bulbs to 20,000k bulbs, which are blue. Can anyone tell me what actinics are for and how they differ from 20,000ks? Thanks.

Has anyone had snails breed in their aquarium? I'm looking for a self sustaining population of snails for my 75g. Right now I have some turban snails, 1 Mexican turbo snail, an Astraea snail, and about 10 nassarius snails. I have had a small cerith snail looking thing pop up on my glass though...

Found this guy just now and put him in a net so if it is bad, I could just throw him away. Is it harmless? The tank has just been set up and got the lr from craigslist. Thanks.

Hi. I am having trouble with this PVC overflow. It makes a lot of noise and doesnt keep siphon. Should I just get an overflow box or is there another PVC overflow design I can try? Thanks.

I bought the coralife digital timer and it has such a freaking stupid design, that I'm returning it straight to petsmart. Anyone have a timer that allows me to program the actinic lights to go on first, then the 10,000ks?

I've been wanting to get a Twospot goby for sometime and I've heard they do better in pairs. Is there anyway to tell a male from a female? Can I buy a pair online? Thanks.

I have one and I'm upgrading so it's being sold. Comes with everything that would come in a new one. Everything is running perfectly and the condition is looking nice. They're $250 new and I'm looking for about $125. I'm in Miami Beach if you want to pick up local (preferred solution) or can...
