I have the Deep Blue Solar Extreme 48" T5HO light -I've had it for 7 months . 1.stock lights suck -replaced with better light bulbs 2. I just broke the suspension tabs...again (tiny and flimsy plastic tabs). And the provided legs are too short -can't even open the glass top. 3. The blue lights...

From what I understand (correct me of I am wrong), moonlights are meant to simulate the moon at night which is good for spawning and also beneficial for coral growth. Moonlights are low power blue light that is not perceivable to fish. When I used to have fish, during nighttime (with...

Seeing that I have no more fish to take care of in my main tank, I will now spend more time with my corals and anemones. I still have not been able to identify one of my anemones. I started a thread on 10/29/2012 and the general consensus was that it looks like a Ritteri(magnificent) Anemone. I...

Now I know this sounds bad, but due to an ich outbreak coupled with a saddleback clown killing everyone, I am left with my one yellow Coris. Although I found the bodies of two fish, I am left with the bodies of an engineer goby, 1/2" tang, and (2) 1" clowns somewhere in the tank. Unfortunately...

So after putting on my super long gloves, I decided to put in a new rock and do some re-arranging. In a saltwater tank, is more preferable that the fish have more free, open space to swim, or better that there are lots of hiding places, tunnels, etc. Or is this a matter of preference?

I decided to be stupid and move things around in my tank. First I cut my thumb on the torch coral's rock, and then I touched my zoas. Then I realized they secrete a toxin. My thumb is a bit swollen and numb. Should I be worried? Or am I convincing my brain that I am hurt? And on a scale of...

I have a very naughty clown (bothering my smaller clown) and a very naughty yellow wrase that decided that a few polyps would make a good snack (i know he is getting the flatworms). I need to catch them and I cant. I tried two nets, putting food in a net, and no luck. They hide behind the rocks...

I like to buy food for my fish that looks like something they would find in the ocean. So I buy them frozen krill. Issue is, that when it is frozen it breaks off in chunks and does not look like a krill anymore. I know they dont care, but I like to see them take chunks out of it etc. I also...

So the parameters for my 55 SW SG 1.025 pH 8.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Phosphate 0 I have tried to get rid of this disgusting algae, and I just do not know what to do anymore. my light cycle was long ( 12 hours) so for the last two weeks, it has been about 8 hours, and only the Actinic...

Is it dying and is it worth keeping in tank? Or flush?

So being a resident of staten island, most of the electricity is still not on. Luckily for me I had a generator and soon after y electricity went back on. My lfs (my job) was not so lucky. They are alternating turnkng on various tank systems, several at a time. So i volunteered to take home a...

I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I most want to keep my little riterri anemone happy. He seems to hate being close to the lights and has settled to the very bottom where he is cared for by a saddleback clown. I currently have 2 T5 HO fixtures (10k each & 14 watts each) (to me it seems super...

I would like to say its the h. Magnificent anemone but it generally likes strong light. My anemone on the other hand decided to go in the darkest spot in the whole tank and thus enjoys all the attention from the clown. I only have had this anemone for two days so perhaps he will move back up but...
