I have the 48" version of this light fixture: Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Coralife Aqualight Double Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights I have a 55 gal. tank and I was wondering what kind of corals are suitable with this type of lighting. I already have a few basic corals (mushrooms...

-If I wanted to rearrange my lr, (good amount) how would I do that in a established tank with a few corals and fish inhabitants? -If anyone has a few ideas on good arrangements I am more than willing. I also expect is to take a while 8O -Thanks!

I have a fuzz like algae spreading like wildfire in my tank. I think it originally came from my HOB filter and floated down and settled in my tank. Now it has spread to almost every rock. It grows on itself like a fuzz ball. -Any ideas? -If so how do I get rid of it? Thanks

Check out this link: http://www.petsolutions.com/default.aspx?ItemId=47490312&EID=PG47490312&SID=PGRAB Isn't that scary they have a yellow tang, 2 maroon clowns, what looks like 4 damsels, and 2 bangaii cardinals. Thats a total of 9 fish and somehow I feel like there are more fish hiding...

Please leave a post and tell us why what you chose was your favorite. If you selected other, tell us what it was. TIA

Ok so I feed every other day with a third of a cube of formula one. My fish devour it(especially my wrasse) within seconds and I mean seconds(probably 10-15 seconds). I know many of you feed every other day but I feel like they aren't getting enough food. The main reason I started feeding...

I've seen this before at my LFS and I wondered if it would be suitable in my tank? Any questions check "my info". Anyone have past/current experiences? TIA

Over the summer some time I was thinking about purchasing another fish of some type, just not sure what. Opinions excepted just wanting to know what you guys (and gals) think. Reminder that I will probably add a refugium this summer. If you guys think I am maxed out tell me that. TIA

Do you think by looking at the inhabitants on "my info" that one of these couples would be possible in my tank? If so which kind would be best? Just wondering. TIA 8)

First of all, will this work with my 55 gal. and will I be able to have both a sump and a fuge in a 10 gal. tank? This is another noob question by me but if you have both a sump/fuge how do the pods and other organisms make it back to the tank? One more question, if you have a sump/fuge do you...

Basically this is just a thought, but is there anyway to add one or both of the items mentioned in the title to a tank that has been running for 2 years with a smooth transition. Remember it is a thought and No's are openly accepted. My stand really doesn't have much room and there is no space...

I have a 55 gal. reef tank that was just converted about a month ago to allow corals and I added about 25 lbs. of live rock. I know how picky they are and that they require copepods and other organisms in the tank but my system has been up and running more about 2 years. I don't have a refugium...

Last night I discovered these white dots that moved on my glass and I ended up sucking them out with a eye dropper and putting it in a plate like thing were I test my water. After looking at it under microscope (handheld) and looking at pictures of copepods on the internet I decided...

I am thinking about purchasing a Red Sea wavemaker and there are a couple questions I have. Do I need a sump? How do they work, do you plug the powerheads into a plug and it alternates. I'm just not sure so I wanted to ask people who have had one. Sorry for the noob questions. :oops: Heres the...

I know if you looked at "my info" that I am not there yet, but I was wondering if there was a coral limit or if you could just add coral till you ran out of space. TIA

I have a green star polyp which daily has been being flipped. At first thought I would think it was my wrasse but then my new powerheads came into mind. On saturday I added a Aquaclear 70 (400gph) and a rio 180 (120gph) and this was the first time my polyps flipped. Who do you think is the...

I was just wondering how you put a pic by your name?

On Sunday I purchased a conch about 1" long and 2 snails. The conch was picked on early but after 2 days he suddenly disappeared and I don't know where. In my tank (55 gal.) there are places to hide behind rocks and under rocks, but I still don't want my tiny puffer to get the best of him. I...

I just did a water change and my maroon clownfish has started flicking the sand in a certain area with his tail creating a dip. Is this strange or has anyone had this happen before? Thanks, anything will help. :?

One of my large snails was cleaning last night and apparently felt like settling down in the tube that leads to my Hang-on the back filter. It tends to sleep all day then become active at night so is it sleeping or is it stuck? Any advice would help but my small puffer is beginning to seem...

I have a 55 gal. reef (somewhat) tank and I feel like I need more of a cleanup crew to control algea, waste, ect. Right now I have 1 large snail and 1 hermit crab after purchase 2 of each a week or so ago from my LFS. My fish are- - Red Coris Wrasse 4-5 in. - Coral Beauty...

Right now I have 2 corals- a green star polyp and a few mushrooms. I have 2 powerheads- a maxi-jet that does something like 140 gph and a Rio 50 that does even less. My hang on wet-dry filter also stirs up the water. My tank is 55 gal. and I was just wondering how important for the tank and...

I recently had posted about an orangey-rust colored algea that was beginning to take over my tank. I was told it was a diatom bloom and it would pass. The rust colored algea left and now I am left with a green algea that just explodes across the tank. Earlier this morning there was some green...

I recently have added 23 pounds of live rock(about 5 days ago) and I'm trying to convert to a reef tank. My tank is 55 gal. and everything was going well for about 2 days when I began to notice an orangey-rust colored algea on some of my sand and live rock. Now it is on at least a little bit of...

Hi! For about the past 2-3 months I have had a white algae take over most of my liferock. When I asked my fish retailer what it was, they suggested that my snowflake eel was kicking up sand (which he always does) and causing some sort of algae to grow there. If this is true I am already planning...
