I have a 56g with a sump=65g altogether. From the overflow it goes down the tube to a "de-gassing" chamber then goes to the fuge and to skimmer compartment. Floods skimmer area with microbubbles. Will this affect the preformance of the skimmer as the pump sucks in the bubbles from the water? It...

I was looking at options for new reef lighting. Then my eyes were opened on ebay from a random search into thoes chinese reef LEDs. My question here is, do thoes leds really work? And if they do, how powerful are they? And is it better to get the blue and white or thoes "full spectrum" models...

This is more for a light expert. But all opinions are wanted as well. A guy I work with has a sps dominate tank and has 6 bulbs but all but the one is 12000k light by ati and just 1 atinic. His tank looks great and has been doing so for 2 years with explosive growth. Do you guys think atinic is...

I have a 29g reef that has been doing good for the past year and a half and I'm going to be getting a 56gal plus my 20g sump. My question here is that I don't want 2 tanks running due to space but is it possible to put all my live rock and fish etc in the tank all at once or will there be a mini...

First things first. Water Parm and lighting etc. 29 gal that's 1 1/2 years old. I have a 4 bulb t5ho fixture a total of 96 watts with an ati aqua blue special bulb, gueissman 6000k midday , guessiman pure actinic and a aquatic life actinic. Water Parms are ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate .75 (red...

What on earth is this? Some sort of tunicate or clam thing? It is a filter feeder from what I see so far. It randomly popped up when I moved my rocks around.

Got this the other day at the frag swap from a guy for 10 bucks. He called it shades of fall?

What kind of acan? It's orange with light greenish stripes.

All opinions open. I was curious, but what else could you use that is can I say better or just as good as "live rock? Just to cut down on rock because some people don't like most of the space taken up by rock in the aquarium. I've heard ceramic flower pot pieces to bio balls to pieces of PVC...

My frogspawn has grown over his skeleton. Is this normal or bad? What is happening exactly?

Moved sarcophyton from the frag rack close to the lights to the bottom. I have crushed coral on bottom and i have t5hos on top. Lighting isn't a problem, I have a frogspawn and hammers that do just fine. Any suggestions?

Have a long polyped toadstool and I turned off my skimmer while feeding phytoplan to my corals for 2 hours and when I came back it's polyps were retracted and was wondering why? I'm not worried as it's polyps are out now but why did it act like that?

Any ideas?

I currently have a frogspawn and a ricordea r Florida and a galaxy coral and just added a Kenya tree and a hammer coral. The Kenya was put in 2 weeks ago and the hammer has been acclimated and in the tank for an hour now. It's looking good and opening slowly already but my question is what...

Have no idea what this is. I recently found this in my live rock. I thought it was a baby turbo snail but not really sure about it. I have a few lps corals and 2 turbo snails. This thing I found has a snail like "feet" because it moves like a snail, has a tear shaped shell that has small hairs...

I just bought a bicolor frogspawn frag for 39.99. And acclimated it for 2 hours and is slowly opening up. I researched stuff about it but I want a personal opinion from everyone's experiences. I have t5ho lighting and water Parms are good and vortech is set on lagoon. How long does it take to...

I wanted to start a nano reef grow out tank to keep my frags away from my fish to keep nitrates and phos way down. So how do I go about the cycle process? Is it the same for fish with the couple weeks/ months till your cycle is done or can you just do it right away since corals don't create lots...

Hi. I have a metallic green glaxea frag that I got a month ago. It has been doing really good till now. I just had a death of a cats eye turbo snail but took it out before it could do any harm. I just did a good water change and nitrate is 2ppm. I also just doused some Ca since it was off a...
