Saw this article on reef builders and remembered alot of people buyin Chinese LEDs on eBay. This is the reason I avoid going cheap usually. http://reefbuilders.com/2013/01/30/cheap-chinese-led-causes-fire/

I've heard two different perspectives when it comes to feeding Euphyllia. This makes me wonder if I should feed or should not feed my hammer coral. What's your opinion?

I was working in my tank today and I noticed my sea hare'a head sticking out of the sand slightly. He apparently buried himself in the sand? I pulled him up and put him on a peice of seaweed and he started eating then wandered off. Is this a bad sign or do they just search for food or sleep in...

Well I was putting a sheet of Omega One Super Veggie seaweed into my tank. My girlfriend was watching me do it and asked what it was I was putting into the tank. I told her seaweed kind of like what they put in sushi....I gave her a piece to taste. Needless to say she spit it out and is now...

I believe these plants are Caulerpa macroalge, and grape kelp? They are extremely fast growing and almost getting out of hand. Picture to come in minute. I've exceeded a quota? Help? Lol

Decided to rescue a betta from a chain store since they were $2. Here some pictures of him enjoying his new home in a 55g tank that has a guppy problem. They breed to fast...

Just stopped at the local Barnes and noble and picked up Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. Anyone read this before?

Does anyone know what species of crawdad this is? I have 3 of the same kind. They were wild caught as babies.

A dark spot has appeared on my pink/purple spotted goby. I'm not sure what this is or has caused it.

I need some opinions on some critters that will help eat up my hair algae. I'm thinking Turbo Snails, or Lettuce Sea slug? What would you recommend? I'm working on a small budget today so I'm just going to pick up a couple of whatever I decide. Also I have the route cause of the hair algae...

I've had my tank set up for about a year and a half. I've always ran a Fluval 205 on the tank, a 40g breeder with 20 long sump, but has this been hurting me this hole time? I run carbon and biomax in the canister and clean it monthly now. I've heard alot of negative things lately about canister...

I posted up this tank back when I first got it, but it's been a while. The tank has cycled finally and I put a button polyp colony in and a Zoanthid colony in. Along with the button polyps came 3 Majano anemones...well call me crazy but I'm kind of interested to see how these Majano do. They've...

What is this on my frag? Look like a red type of algae?

Is there any actinic bulb I can get for my 4g nano tank that would allow coral growth? I currently have a Coralife t5ho dual bulb light on my 4g and it has one daylight 10,000k and one actinic light. Could I replace the daylight with an actinic and still get coral growth? The daylight just seems...

What has been the most Intimidating or challenging task you've tackled since you began you SW tank? Mine was when I hatched a Bamboo Shark from an egg. From the time I bought the egg at the LFs to when it actually hatched was around 3 months. Each and every day the egg hadnt hatched was a...

I posted this up once before but didn't get a good ID because of the poor position. I got this piece as a hitchhiker on a piece of LR. What exactly is it? It's in the background of the first picture sorta. Second picture is top down view

We just had a baby girl! Just wanted to post of m proud pictures if this future Reefer! :) I already set up a nano reef tank in her nursery :) Her name is Emma Grace she was born 2:55pm October 26, 2012. She weight 6lbs and 13oz and was 19" long.

I've always been interested in culturing my own coral food, but what exactly do I need to be culturing and how?! I'm mostly looking for something for Zoanthids, Acans, Blastomussa, and mushrooms. I know the lighting a good I'm just curious about starting cultures.

I have several pieces I'm wanting to trade. I am mostly looking for zoanthids, Rock Anemones, or LPS...really anything lol I'm located in Murfreesboro. Here's some pictures of most of my pieces.

Well I've started enjoying the fragging aspect of saltwater aquariums more and more lately. I went ahead and added an egg crate rack along with my other racks just to add more useable area to the tank. I know egg crate is pretty but it does the job. Don't have many of my frags on it yet but more...

I've always wanted to culture my own saltwater food but don't even know where to start or what requires what. Post up here if you have any information on culturing your own saltwater or freshwater food.

Found this link on reefbuilders.com I'm going to give this a try myself. http://reefbuilders.com/2011/11/26/diy-mame-nanp-skimmer/

I've had a burst of plant growth in my tank but what is all of this? Slightly blurry thanks to my dumb self feeding corals before I took pics. First two pics I think I've heard are grape kelp? The other looks like some kind of fern lol

Just wanted to post a new frag rack I picked up maybe month ago and I have fallen in love with! It's made by the Thrive company who make supplements and many neatly packaged coral items. I was searching for a nice frag rack for my Acros to get them higher into the tank and I stumbled on this at...

Just thought I would post up a picture of my 55gal freshwater tank. Might shut it down soon though because I've gone over to Saltwater and want to focus on my coral propagation. All live plants btw
