Well it has begun. I've been waiting to start this for a few weeks since I've made virtually no progress, but I figured there's no reason not to. This build will be very slow since I don't always have the proper funds for equipment. It's going to be a reef no doubt, and most likely sps...

My next tank, a 93 cube (of which the build thread will be up once I have more than just the tank and stand) is going to be sps dominant. I have kept plenty sps in my nano, but not enough to require dosing. All minerals are replenished from weekly water changes. So I'm uneducated on the topic of...

I have three types of acrylic tanks, and many of each! They are all by Fisher Scientific. Shipping will be free to the continental USA for each one. All are new and in the original box. I can ship out of country but all shipping charges are on you. -21 Liters tank. The dimensions are 18.125 x 12...

Hey everyone. I found a hermit crab today and saw this . I have no idea what it is... I've never experienced such a thing. It's like coralline, but orange. It's brighter than any of my orange corals, and very vibrant.

Hi everyone. I picked up this coral from the LFS for $8 because they didn't know what it was. And neither do I! Lol. It's obviously a LPS, and in pretty bad shape. All of the polyps in the back are dead. Anybody have any idea? It hasn't opened yet but it may soon.

On craigslist I have found a nice tank for a nice price. But the tanks dimensions are 36x37x18. Those aren't the best dimensions for a tang, so I think I would stress it out too much in an area like that since they need longer tanks. But would a one spot foxface be okay? I wouldn't want to put...

I found a nice 110 gal tank on Craigslist with some other things that come with it. Is this a good price? I'll be trading in the lighting for store credit and then I'll buy some taotronics. http://burlington.craigslist.org/for/4123590103.html

I everyone. I am starting a thread about bleaching anemones. Common thought is that a bleaching anemone means a dead one. But from what I've experienced, and a little research. This doesn't seem to be true. Obviously a bleaching anemone is due to lack of its zooxanthallae algae. The same goes...

I got home from classes to see my clownfish dried up on the ground. But the thing is... I have a lid. I'm a little bit confused right now. How did it get out? There only an inch of space for the filter open, but that's on the other end of the tank. I knew that clownfish can be jumpers. But like...

The day is getting closer where I am getting a 90 gallon saltwater tank upgrade. But I want to collect everyone's opinions on lighting. I will be getting a nem, so I need high lighting. What lighting do you guys like and works very well? I want something that not only will support my lps, sps...

I was wondering if anybody could ID this algae growing on the rocks in northern mass. Horrible pictures... But it's thin bladed, and kind of looks like a moss. It spreads all over the rocks here. It kind of looks like green hair algae to me, only much prettier. Any ideas?

So my 90 gallon build is almost is progress. But I'm stumped on the stocking. I definitely want: 1 Yellow Prawn Goby 1 pair of ocellaris clowns 3 yellow tailed damselfish 1 green mandarin (will be added last) 5 longfin fairy wrasse 1 flame angelfish And then possibly another tang...

So I found this great deal on Craigslist for a 90 gallon tank that comes with the stand, a canopy (and mh lights that I will sell and buy quality LEDs if I get the set) powerheads, a sump, dead rock, a digital thermometer, a wave maker, and more for $600. So my question is, if I get the tank...

Hi I'm looking for a beautifully colored fluorescent green star polyp coral. I know it can grow like a weed, so I'm hoping somebody with a beautiful specimen could frag me a piece! It doesn't have to be a gigantic frag so I'm not looking for anything expensive. Or- does anybody know any...

So I have the choice of going to a private school to become a marine biologist. I want to go to Taber Academy but am not sure... I want something beneficial to my future. Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone! So I have started my 10 gallon reef tank, all cycled and ready for whatever I want. I have lots of questions though. First of all, any aquascaping suggestions? The picture is below. Okay, next, my cleanup crew. Right now I have a skunk shrimp, a zebra hermit crab, a few other...

Hey everyone! I just took a vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and saw some really cool fish. But one that I saw was unusual, and I've never seen it before. It was in a school of at least ten, and looked like a stick. Kind of like a needle nose gar, and in the Caribbean saltwater. It...

I'm starting this thread to get some conversation going about some funny things that have happened to you related to anything about your tank, fish, etc. I'll get us started. When I was 11, and got my first tank, my parents brought me to Petsmart (they have never had a tank) to get fish. We...

Hello everybody! I plan on setting up a 150 gallon tank in the very near future. It will probably be FOWLR, but I'm not sure! Any stocking suggestions? It's the centerpiece of the room, so I want some wow factor fish. Experience isn't an issue, I have plenty! I'm thinking a Lionfish as a...

Hello everybody! Like everybody else on this forum, I am slightly addicted to fish keeping. (: well anyways, I'm 13 years old, but not just any 13 year old. I actually research and spend time paying attention to details. My aquascaping has to be perfect, I ALWAYS cycle, I don't overstock, and I...

Hello Everybody! I live in NH, and now that spring is here, I want something fun to do! So I thought of the idea of breeding local minnows for fun! I know that they're cyprinids, so could they breed with any cyprinids like freshwater sharks, and barbs? If not, what can they breed with? Thanks a...

I have one pair of betta fish that are actively breeding together, and I am raising a group of their fry now. The male is a red fullmoon, Double Tail, cambodian. The female is a marbled veiltail. They will only be sold as their breeding pair, no exceptions. I'm in Southern NH, and wouldn't know...

Hello everybody! I have some questions about dwarf seahorse tanks. If you have had any experience with seahorses and raising their fry, please read below! :) 1. What are good spots for hitching? I've seen live plants and seaweed are great, but I'm not sure. 2. Will I need live rock if I have a...

Hello all, I have a 10 gallon nano tank, of which I plan on breeding saltwater fish in. But before I set it up, I need to know what fish to set it up for! I am thinking either Clownfish, Banggai Cardinals, or Dwarf Seahorses. In your opinion, what is the least expensive and easiest? The pair...

I am looking for a Gold Ocellatus proven breeding pair. Other shell dwellers will be okay, but please include a picture if so. Thanks. -Kyle
