Hi all.. Moving across the country in a couple weeks. Have everything planned out for transporting and getting things re-set up after arriving. The only question I have is about the water. I plan on keeping about 50 % of my old water. Some of the water will be in the tub with my live rocks and...

Thanks for the replies. The move is to Rhode Island, the state itself(1500 + miles) Being as I will be needing to get there quick for a new job I am hoping to do the drive in about 2 days which will hopefully be less stressful on everything. The container I'm planning on getting is 40 Gal and...

Hi Everyone... In advance I appreciate any help and responses. I am going to be moving in a month from Tulsa, OK to Rhode Island, as you can imagine a very long trip. I have a 75 Reef tank with several corals. It has 1 clown fish, 1 yellow tang and 1 lawnmower blenny and several inverts. My...

Hey all... I'm looking for some info. on how to move a tank. I've read through everything here on moves, but they all seem to be fairly small. My next move is most likely going to be long distance, as in 800-1000 miles or so. Has anyone ever had to make a move like this that includes an...

Hey all.... Anyone ever had any problems keeping a powder brown or the like in a reef environment? I had some pulsing xenia that eventually died out, so today I got some new ones....and noticed that my tang was eating the tops off of them. They aren't cheap and I'm not sure if this is common...

Hey all... We had a lfs doing giveaways today and I won two cans of Cyclopeeze freeze dried food. I have read great things about peoples fish and corals loving the stuff, my only question is....how do you dispense it? Just mix it with water and pour in the tank? Use a turkey baster? If...

Thanks for the replies. Having had fish with ick before, it doesn't really look like this is the case, but I could be wrong. These spots are only just below the fins. I'm going to watch a couple more days and might do a fw dip and treat with copper. I tried getting a pic, but she is just to...

Hey everyone, I purchased a small hippo tang a week and a half ago from my LFS. It seemed pretty healthy and happy at the store. I've had in my 20 gal. QT tank since bringing it home. The last couple of days it has been scratching alot on the bottom and on the decorative pieces I have in the...

Hey all.. Does anyone happen to know if the small Lunar lights in this model are replaceable? I've only had mine for a few months and one of them is out. thanks for any replies.

It is a hitchiker of some sort..but don't know what. I haven't added new LR in months. It's stayed on the glass all day long....moves around a bit.

Hey all... Woke up this morning to find this blob on the inside glass of my tank. It appears soft(although I haven't touched it) It moves around the glass almost like a snail would. It's body is pretty flat in shape. I haven't seen anything like it since having my tank up and going. Any ideas?

Thanks for the responses. I have been using only R/O water, I have never used Tap. I buy my R/O water from the store where I purchased my entire tank setup. I have been cautious about cutting my lights back. I have two corals...one a small frag of button polyps, the other a green star polyp...

Hey everyone...looking for a bit of advice. I've had my tank going for just over 3 months now. My problem is the algae that I can't seem to get under control. As of last night my water parameters were great. PH=8.3 Nitrite=0 Nitrate=0 Ammonia=0 Temp=80 SG=1.023 I did a 20% water change on...

Hey everyone.. Came home tonight from work and found this worm on my newly acquired button polyp. He was sitting right on top of them...appeared to be eating to his content. I removed him and stuck in my QT tank for now. Any ideas on him? I know the picture is kind of bad. The body is mostly...

Hi All... Last night as I was looking at my tank I saw this small white worm looking thing wiggling around like crazy in the water. It's only about 1/2 inch long. This was the first time I've seen it. It just goes crazy racing around the tank. Any ideas on what it might be? It's way to wiggly...

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping to get a skimmer soon to aid in overall flow. Right now I have 2 Penguin 660's, plus two Penguin Bio-wheel filters(minus bio-wheels, carbon only) I use just a Hydrometer for SG. After getting skimmer, might invest in a refractometer.

Hey all... I've had my 75g tank setup just over 2 weeks now. Added 45lbs(to start with) of LR from Liverocks.com 1 week ago. Water Parameters as of today are: SG 1.020 PH 8.2 Nitrite .25 Nitrate .20 Ammonia .25 Water Temp 78-79 F How long should I wate before adding any cleanup critters? My...

Hi All... Just wondering what type of critters would make a good cleanup crew for a new tank? I have a 75G tank, only been running a couple weeks now with(at the moment) 45lbs of LR. I'm wanting to add some cleaners in the future, as my sandbed is starting to look a mess with stuff from the...

Yeah, that's what mine looks like. It's not all over everything, just in a few places on a couple rocks. Anyone have any idea what it is? Just part of the cycling process? I haven't gotten my skimmer yet, hopefully in a few days...maybe that will help take care of it.

I just put my first order of 45# of LR in my new 75g tank. Small amount, but building it up. There appears to be some sort of white stuff growing on a couple of the rocks. It kinda looks like spider webs you see a spider make in a plant or something. Any ideas what it is? Also have some...

I live in Tulsa, and work for the tv station frshwaterfinatc got the information from. This was a big loss to our Aquarium here. I had just been to the Aquarium about 3 weeks before the accident. Their shark tanks are so awesome. They also have a huge reef setup that is unbelieveable. Twice a...
