Hey Everyone! I’ve been away from the hobby/forum for a long time but it’s about time I start up again with a small (but actually large) project. I figured this is a perfect time to create a thread to track my progress! I’ve always wanted to try breeding bettas so I’m finally going to give...

It's been almost an entire year since I've posted on the forum and a lot has been going on regarding my saltwater adventure. For those who have followed my threads before know that about a year ago I upgraded my 17G reef tank to a 32G. Unfortunately, the transfer was rushed and the tank has seen...

I'm finally stepping up to the plate and finally starting my discus venture after a few years of dreaming. I happened to fall upon a Blood Pigeon that desperately needed some TLC so i took him in. I will quarantine it in a 20G until its fins are repaired and it is fat again which will give me...

Alright, I recently got myself a pair after finally seeing these in person and finally decided to attempt breeding them. They're currently in a 20G all by themselves but I'd like to downsize due to other projects and space requirements. I've done some reading and am a little unsure on what an...

Alright, so I'm setting up a shrimp rack and I'm looking for options regarding a cheap low light setup. I was thinking about eBay led strips but I believe they're only 0.10 watts each. I only want to grow mosses though and maybe ferns. Any thoughts on the leds or suggestions? Sent from my...

Hey guys, I'd like to divide my 15G tank into two separate sections to house CRS and CBS. I was thinking of just using a single pain of glass as it would be the most effective to keep new born shrimp from switching sides. Do you think I could get away with one heater for both sides? Sent...

Hi, I have a 15G dedicated to apple snails with a sponge filter and I'd like to hear your guys take on adding in a starter colony of RCS. Do you think either would would have a significant detrimental effect to the other? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's finally time to start this upgrade! So, for those of you who knew I wanted to start a coral business knew I had picked up a used 40 Breeder to start it off with. This is it: [/url] After some thinking, I realized if I wanted to start a business I needed a lot more gallonage and so I...

I'm thinking of dripping kalkwasser into my 20g mixed reef. I've been having trouble keeping my ph up as it sits pretty low now around 7.7-7.8. What's the best way? I was thinking of just dripping it when needed during lights out when natural evap occurs. Now, I heard that the solution loses...

It's on the outside back corner on a single pane. It's a chunk that being held by silicon but the seam is unaffected. Can I just lather a bunch of silicon over the crack? http://flic.kr/p/o9FHPA http://flic.kr/p/o9FJ1Y http://flic.kr/p/nUfsvp http://flic.kr/p/nUeBnA http://flic.kr/p/nUefh1...

I'm just curious as to what percentage you run your channels. Im currently running 50-50 and I'm scared to kick them up too high. Tank is 18" high with LEDs sitting about 10" above water surface.

Decided to share my favorite tank of all! It's been running for about for about 7 months now. It's not perfect but I think I did a pretty good job thus far. :) Stock: -2 Oce Clowns -Fuzzy Dwarf Lion Only temporary, he's only about 2" now and I'm currently trying to train him on...

I've had my little guy for about 2 weeks an he refuses to eat frozen. I had him loose in my reef and I assume he survived off of pods as he doesn't have a sunken stomach. I currently have him in a breeder net since it's hard to spot feed him in my reef. I've been dumping mysis in his net, target...

My pair is really starting to annoy me :p they're fat, healthy, and have a heck of a personality. Unfortunately, they're a pain. I can't feed my corals without them picking at the mysis, even from closed duncan heads. They even torment inverts. I had added a peppermint shrimp yesterday and they...

Long story short, this plate died at work and now it's growing a bunch of mini ones. Are the small ones eventually going to split off and grow leaving the skeleton behind? I'm thinking of buying it.

What's up with my coral? Ever since I got it it's developed a bubble on the side of it. There's a single polyp on it and it's been opened up everyday. It doesn't seem like anything is wrong. Anybody know what this is?

I just got a plain fluval chi tank and I'm looking to set up a nano heavily planted shrimp tank. I've know par38 bulbs have been used in saltwater setups, so I'm thinking I could use a cheap par20 led bulb on a goose neck as lighting. Also, anybody have good setups for a nano diy co2 build?

How do you guys deal with your rodi condensation? Every time if use mine I have dripping tubing and filter casings and it's a pain. I have yet to use my rodi in the hotter months so should this still be a problem in summer?

Someone gave this guy to me and he got him as a hitchhiker. He's beige with blue antennas and he's hairy with one big claw. I'll try to get a good picture.

I'm looking for more flow to my tank and I've been looking at the wp10. Does anyone have it? I really like the controllability and rather good pricing. My current tank is a 17g jebo but I'm upgrading to a 45 cube within the year. I'm assuming the lower setting would be good for my sps dominant...

Just wanted to share my makeshift refugium. Someone gave me some free macro, which I believe is red caulerpa. I didn't want it in my display so I cut off a section on my filtration unit so that the algae can get some light. The filter is cut off into sections so I figured why not lol. It's not...

So I got some frags for 24$ from work. I picked up a hairy mushroom, candy cane, an acro, and I'm not sure what the last one is. Here's the acro. It's a little dull in color as it was nearly dead in our coral tank but we brought it back to life. Polyps aren't out yet though. Here is the...

There just has to be a problem all the time :( I'm doing my regular water change and I happen to burn out my heater that's in my mixing bucket, find my purple firefish on the floor all dried up, and had a massive algae outbreak probably due to the death of my lawnmower blenny because I haven't...

Hi guys, i have a 5 and 10 gallon hanging around and I was thinking of breeding bettas. I work a fish store so the fry have a place to go if I can't sell of rehome some of them. I want to use the 5 as separated home for the male and female with combination of clear and non-transparent...

Is it just me or their aren't any cheap dual timers to have my blues and whites have different on/off schedules? I only see timers that run both outlets at the same set time. Do I need to buy two?
