My fiance and I decided to use the aquarium room as our nursery. Finally got the walls finished in the room. What do you think?

Hi all. I have a 90 gallon SW aquarium and a baby on the way. We decided to use the aquarium room as our nursery because the aquarium will make a good night light and also provide good sound at night to soothe the baby. We will be painting the room with a sandy color coming from the ground to...

I have a 90 gallon reef aquarium. I have to head back to work today (oil field) and while doing a water change, I dropped 4 gallons of water onto my wood floor. I soaked it up with towels but it was already leaking fairly fast in the basement. I have two fans blowing up from in the basement and...

I have a 4-bulb fixture for my tank. Is it okay to swap all four lights at once?

Here is a look at my 90 gallon. I only have a couple of corals and 5 fish. Haven't really felt like adding anything new in awhile.

Her face looks messed up. At first I thought it was getting scraped up from swimming into everything and squeezing into the rocks. But it's progressively gotten worse.

I took about 1 to 1.5 gallons of sand to add this week and put it in a 5 gallon bucket. I know I have to just add a little at a time. I cleaned it exceptionally well. Now, do I need to let it dry before adding to tank?

I've been at it for almost a year now. Here's what she looked like when we started. I am running 2 actinic and 2 12000K HO bulbs, 2 bio wheel 280 filters, a Coralife 110G protein skimmer, 2-750 GPH Koralia power heads, 1-475 GPH Koralia powerhead, and a Koralia wave maker. Here's the...

I bought a thing today that uses a two liter bottle and air pump to hatch bring shrimp. Do I just use tank water? Do I just pour it back in when they are done?

So I test my calcium the other day and its 620. I have been doubting my test kit so I take it to my LFS to test. They get 620. I do a 50% water change, wait two days and do another 25% change. Algae needed to be suctioned out anyway so kills two birds with one stone. I test calcium at LFS today...

I bought two anemone crabs today. I read they like to stay in pairs and my LFS has two that were already together so I bought them both. I acclimated them over about an hour in the bag. After I removed them from the bag, they hit the sand bed and immediately began fighting. One of them ripped...

If I add sand to my already established tank to get a deeper sand bed, will it cause any problems with nitrates and nitrites, or possible cause a new cycle? Should a put the sand in another tank with a filter and power head for a few days first?

My girlfriend noticed this thing on my live rock today. It's below the center portion of the polyps straight left of the toadstool head. It's round and matches rock color pretty good. She said its flat but looks kind of bubbly. What is it?

When I get ready to replace my HO and actinic bulbs, can I buy bulbs that have a higher wattage? I feel I a could use a little more but don't want to buy a whole new fixture.

I was staring at my tank and in the shadows of my live rock this thing comes out. It was red with white feathery tentacles all over it. It looks like a brittle star leg but if it is, this thing is huge. The arm was about 2" long and 1/4" thick. I enhance the photo because it was in the shadows...

I have or spot where green hair algae is growing in my tank. It hasn't spread any over the last three weeks but it isn't going away either. Can I cut it off with scissors or is there a good way to get it off?

This cone shaped shell appeared on my live rock about 2 months ago. He's got red and green algae on him but so does this rock. For a long time I thought it was part of the rock. Then one day it disappeared. Now it's back on a different part of the rock. What is it or inside it?

I got this guy today. I have no idea what kind it is so if you know, please chime in.

I bought this little guy at my LFS. The label was rubbed off the tank and the guy I was talking to wasn't sure what it was. I know it's a leather, but what kind specifically?

I think it's coming long great. I'm excited to see what another 6 months or year will add to the tank. I'm super pleased that I decided on saltwater for this project.

I have had a Maze Brain for quite some time now. He does about 8 weeks ago. I smelled him and never could smell the dead fish smell that dead corals get so I left him in the tank. I had a cyano outbreak and he got covered. I suctioned it off him when I did my water changes. Now, I've started...

I bought a scooter blenny today and I can see him moving around and picking stuff up off the sand bed but I don't know if there are copepods in there. I added a couple bags about 4 months ago. Tank has been established about 12 months.
