Hey guys, been a while. Made some improvements to the tank. I'll have some pictures up later. Just picked up a maroon clown the other day. I acclimated him over about two hr period. He seems to stay close to the side of my tank, relatively close to the bottom and rarely moves. It's only been...

I have an arrow crab with 3 legs left. That's it. What do you recommend?

So it's been a week and there is a film on the surface of the water. The algae problem I had in my previous tank is starting again. Growing on the LR, glass and sand, making everything look dirty. I'm thinking it's because of the LR I transferred over. I'm going to do a partial water change to...

Finally got around to switching to the 55. Here are some pics. Still need to paint it black. Not really feelin the wood look. Now I just need to get some for rock and fishes to fill it. lol

Got my 55 gal running. Wondering the best way to transfer my LR and fish. My LR is covered with algae. Should I clean it off and transfer it to my new tank or just toss it? It's only 5 lbs of LR. I attached some pics of the LR.

Thanks for the advice

If I get live sand will it seed with base rock producing live rock?

Thanks for the help! I set the tank up about 3 months ago. Cycled? ( Sorry. I'm super new, not familiar with all the terminology yet). I just picked up a 55 g tank two days ago. I'm still trying to make sure I know what I'm doing before I jump into it. I wast planning on transferring my...

I know nothing about coral. All I have now are some damsels, a clown, some LR and an arrow crab in a 20 g tank. Do I need different lighting? Temperature? Water parameters for coral. Any info on corals would be greatly appreciated. Help a newbie out please! Thanks!

Picked up the new tank! Check it out. I'll probably sand & stain the wood darker or just paint it black. Now I just have to figure out this whole sump filter situation.

So I was thinking about making a sump filter out if my 20 gal tank once I get my 55 gal. I have no experience with sumps. Anyone have a plan a can reference and a supply list? Instructions would be nice too.

What is growing on my live rock? Is it bad?

Any recommendations for an overflow box and sump?

So would an overflow box also prevent water overflow in a power outage? Is drilling your tank an easy diy project? What items would I need to set up a sump filter system?

To tell you the truth I'm not that familiar with a sump filter. I'm just working with a 25 gal tank now so I'm a complete newbie. I have a small hang on back filter now, which is obviously not capable of handling a 55 gallon tank. From the quick reading I did on sump filters it seem like the...

About to pick up my new 55 gallon tank!!! Need some advice on a filter. Another site recommended a 110 gal filter. Any advice or tips would be great!!!
