I put together one of those DIY sea swirls with an MJ 1200 Mod. Here's the results. THought i'd share.

This green slim algae started growing a couple of places in the tank. It's a dark green color and has slowly grown to where it's at now. Is this green cyano OR is it something else? TIA

I have some frags avaiable to anyone that is interested. I'm located in Lincoln. http://linomareefs.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=16#16

Does anyone know the shelf life of seawead sheets/ nori? Seems like it's dried therefore it can't really go bad...but maybe it gets stale and looses it's value over time. Anybody know? TIA

Used for about 9 months. I excellent condition. No problems with it at all. I will ship it in the original box. I'm asking $150 for it. I'm ungrading to MH so i don't need this anymore. Specs on the light are: Coralife Lunar Aqualights Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights - Combines the...

Has anyone heard of a auto-dimming timer? It would be like a normal timer we use to shut off the aquarium lights, but would have a feature that would slowlyg reduce lighting over an hour or something. Does anyone have any experience with such a thing? TIA

I found this video of a maxijet mod while looking at something else unrelated. I have no idea what the mod is or anything, just the video. It looks like he stuck a white thing on the end or something to help create random flow. Does anyone have any more info on this or know of a way to modify...

Ok, i did a very short time laps of my BTA moving around. Let me know if anyone gets this to work. http://media.putfile.com/BTA-on-the-move

My BTA has been inching his way up a rock closer and closer to my xenia. Should i be concerned that a battle is about to ensue?

I'm looking into getting a newer reef book on home reef aquariums. I would just assume get books on coral, inverts, clownfish, etc...but I would like to start off with a newer read on the overall picture. I've already read The Contscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner and The New Marine...

I've been recieving some great advice on this from Brenden; thanks for your help. But I decided to post about it because it's kind of an important issue. Obviously, if my xenia crashes, that's a bad thing so i want to make sure i avoid that. The entire 3-4 months i've had this stuff, it's...

I have had this umbrella toadstool for about 2 months now. It arrived with 3 small pieces or rock attached to the base of the toadstool. It was hard to mount it because of this and i moved the coral around trying to find the right place for it. I probably moved it too much and stressed the...

When you think things have stabliziled and you're finally getting a hang of things, your clownfish kills a chromis and feeds it to the BTA :( Seriously, this hobby sends me for a loup all the time. I know it's just nature and BTA's have to eat too...but it's shocking to come home and realize...

I had a nice little colony of yellow polyps, and i've started noticing that the colony appears to be shrinking slowly. So I am going to go ahead and blame this on the two Peppermint shrimp i have. The shrimp only come out at night so I'm guessing that's why i don't see them eating the polyps...

Had this idea; could you put a sunlight collector/solar panel type thing on your roof, and then use fiber optic like stuff to channel the sunlight down through your roof to your aquarium thus using sunlight to light your aquarium. Felt dumb for posting this but i'm sure someone's thought of it...

I know this is a silly question but when you're aiming to do a 10-20% PWC, how do you calculate how much that is? Do you add the capacity of your sump and main tank together and then figure the % from there....or is it better to just go with the % from the main tank? I'd imagine it'd be...

I'm sure many of us have had several aquariums up till now including FW and SW. It's kind of cool to think about all the different setups I've had through the years. So i'll start the tank history and then everyone else can post theirs up too. I bought my first 45g bowfront when i was 13...

I have always thought that most people did not run GAC in their SW setups. But I'm curious to find out how many people do. If you answer yes, please tell us the method you choose to use the GAC(ie, powerfilter, custom, etc).

So my LTPC is not doing so well IMO. I had a nitrate reading of 2.5 the other day, which i blamed on my rearrangement of my fuge(took a lot of red hair algae out and since then i haven't gotten my chaeto to really grow like it use to). So i did a 40 % wc about 3 days ago and it just seems to...

Just wondering how corals affect the bioload and the filtration of the water. Do corals improve the water quality or do they just add a small amount to the bioload? I know I've read that each coral adds very little to the bioload, making it possible for many corals to be crammed into an...

I have a few questions in regards to clownfish spawning: 1. Is there any behavioral signs that would indicate a female clown is pregnant or about to lay eggs (ie; not eating..etc)? 2. Does having a pair of clowns that exhibit all the signs of a mated pair(excpet actual egg laying) guarantee...

Here's my recent effort at taking pics: Yellow Polyps and some unknown zoos --------------------------------------- this is with automatic white balance.

Believe it or not, i'm confused about my new ATO system. I got the JBJ unit and hooked it up, set up the floats and turned it on. It seemed to work fine the first time but I've got some issues with it: 1. No sound. The instructions say and "audible" sound should be played when the pump is...

No joke. They've been in qt for about 10 days now, and i've lost all but one. I'm running a 10g qt with a small power filter with GAC, a small heater and a maxijet 400 powerhead. Everytime i've checked for ammonia in the last 10 days, it's been 0. Also, the water was orignally from my main...

Found this in the paper. I'm not interested but i thought someone else might be. Not that anyone checks this forum but you never know. AQUARIUM 125 SW tank w/custom stand, canopy PC&VHO lighting, skim- mers, filter, 150lb live rock, fish & inverts. Mov- ing must sell. Leave mes- sage. $600...
