    Ventricaria ventricosa Algae, should it be removed?

    My first SW tank has been running for a while now and everything seems fine except I starting to see more ventricaria ventricosa algae. I need to know if I should be removing this stuff and if so how to go about it. The most info I've seen is on this page: 'Bubble' Alage: Selected...

    Female polleni, bitten by big male

    Hi all, I have a pair of polleni, a big male and smaller female. They bred about 9-10 weeks ago (I have about 100 nice babies left, I've moved them all to a different tank except about three). Recently the male took a big chunk out of the side of the female. She doesn't seem to mind (she is...

    Is there a way to keep sand dust off the glass?

    I'm having an issue with the "dust" from the sand in my tank clouding up the glass. Anyone have any tricks for keeping the glass from collecting the dust? I thought maybe there would be a product that would help or maybe it just takes time for the tank to settle out.

    My stocking research so far, looking for suggestions on corals

    I'm cycling a 29g reef tank, while I'm waiting I've been looking at options for critters. This is my first SW tanks so the things I get need to be fairly easy to care for. I'd like to get a few more options for the corals, plant and inverts from the folks here, if you get a chance. Here is...

    Questions about: placement of LR for reef tank

    Most of the smaller tanks I've looked at have the LR stacked in the middle of the tank. Is there a reason for this or is it okay to have most of my LR arrayed across the back of the tank? Maybe the tanks I'm seeing are just flukes and they aren't all like this.

    Question about: LR construction epoxy

    At what point do I want to start using the epoxy to fix my reef rocks into place? Right now I'm just in the start of the cycling process. I have decisions to make on the layout but thought it would be a prudent question to ask. Does it make a difference? If I waited until the cycle completed...

    Questions about: small fish and corals and matching them.

    I'm a long way away from getting fish and coral. At least I think I am as I just started cycling my tank. But I'm looking for direct info from the members here or pointers to good sources for: 1> Small fish species, that stay small. 2> How to match fish and corals for compatibility. 3> How to...

    For Sale: Emperor or Giant Cichlid

    Well I knew this day would come, and I'm sad to do it, I have two Emperor cichlids that I need to re-home. They are too big for the tank I have them in and unfortunately I won't be getting another tank for some time. They are the same age, I've raised them from about 1.5" and they are now both...

    Mystery snails in a cichlid tank?

    Looking for a bit of advice. I have a 180g cichlid tank with some fairly aggressive fish. It has a little algae problem. Can I drop a few mystery snails in there or will they be killed?

    Polleni breeding

    My Polleni have started to breed which is apparently fairly rare. When I turned on the light this morning the male had a big set off eggs hanging out of his mouth. I think he ate them. The female has dug a huge nest to lay in. I'm hoping she lays some more eggs, that would be VERY cool. I'm...

    Giant Tanganyika Cichlid (Boulengerochromis microlepis)

    Does anyone else here have Giant Tanganyika Cichlid (Boulengerochromis microlepis) ? Just curious, I have two. They are growing MUCH faster than I expected and I love them. Hard to tell at this point but I'm guessing I have a male and female.
