When I fed them last night they seemed fine. Only thing different is I added 2 new Korila's power heads. I went from one large one to two smaller ones on both ends. Haven't checked the water parameters in a week. I will do that when I get home from work. Could he additional power head or...

I just started noticing this stuff about a week ago and it seems to be getting worse. Almost looks like a collection of dust. I hope someone can tell from the pics. I had a power head (suction cup) fall half way off and thought it was just sand. Obviously not! Saltwater aquariums are similar to...

I'm a newbie of course but I bought a green leather and a purple pulsating Xenia from a friend of a friend and he gave me this green stuff. I think he called it green polyps, but my memory is horrible. Also the tan thing growing on it, is it a mushroom? In the last week it has doubled in size...

I just bought this 4 days ago. Before it was taken out of the tank it was pulsating very nicely. I got it home, positioned it in the tank and it took a little while to come back out. It pulsates occasionally and when it does its very slow. I've tried adjusting the flow and haven't seen a...

I've had these fish since Christmas and never shady problem. We have 2 clowns (one a little larger than the other). The tang just attacks the smaller one and shakes the crap out of it. The fire angel and the tang are always together but the angel doesn't bother anyone. The tang is only about 2...

Before After I haven't stained it yet. The new TaoTronics are on the right side. Original LED is doubled over on the left. My other TaoTronic TT-Al09 is on the way!

Our royal gramma somehow got sucked into the power head. Poor little guy. Hop he didn't suffer too much. Does this happen often?

I was thinking about cutting 2 rectangles out and either making brackets to hold them or putting some acrylic up from inside and letting the lights just sit on those thru the holes. Any other suggestions? Comments? Or if you have done it can you post a pic or two? I really don't want to mess...

2 TaoTronic TT-AL09s! Can't wait for them to arrive. I'm going to have to modify my canopy but I can be creative.

Our engineer goby was wreaking habit on the situation. This is more stable. Before After

Does this look like its ready to go into the main tank with my fish? I think so from what I've read, but being a newbie I would prefer someone with some experience to let me know. Thanks!

I only paid $80 for it and there's some really cool pieces too! I can't wait to get them in the tank. Going to cycle them first.

Reef Octopus NWB-200 Pinwheel Protein Skimmer. It's about 1 year old and works good and comes complete? I can buy it for $150. Good deal?

My 4 year old picked them both out by herself. She picked a Royal gramma and a Flame angel. Pretty cool little fish but the flame angel is gorgeous! Here is a pic (doesn't do it justice) of the flame angel. Its about 4 inches long. The royal gramma is still hiding.

I am due for a PWC. I've been doing them every week. 75 gallon tank and 25 gallons every 7-8 days. We went camping over the weekend so I'm at about 10 days past my last change. I just tested the water and everything seems fine. Is once a week too much or is it more of a preventative change? We...

I'm tired of having to go to the LFS for 25 gallons of saltwater every weekend and 10 gallons of RO/DI. Seems about time I start mixing my own water. Looking for an under sink model and don't want to break the bank but also want a pretty good unit. I've done a little searching and it's like...

This is growing in my refugium. Should I leave it alone? Remove it? Buy some snails for the fuge?

Previously the stand had 2 small doors in the middle and 2 fake doors on the outside. So I braced it up (shocked that there wasn't more). I knocked out the fake doors and took off the small doors. Then cut 2 new doors. Stained them, new hardware etc. next will be a little organization...

I've seen 3 of these in 2 different rocks. I don't have a clue what it is, in sure someone on here does. Kinda hard to see. It's dead center of the pic and looks like tiny thin legs sticking out. (Legs is all I've seen). Some kind of worm maybe? Hopefully it's harmless.

Can I just gently move it back to the low spots? I've read I shouldn't disturb the sand but this dude should be called bulldozer goby! WOW!

What is this brown stuff? I'm assuming its a form of algae. Is it good, bad, common?

I was cleaning it once a week then noticed my little one also wanted to mess with it and the hose got pinched. I replaced the hose and is bubbling like it was previously but it's still not producing. Any ideas? 75 gallon, 20 gallon sump with skimmer and refuge, small blue tang, 2 clowns and...

He didn't know what it was called and I sure as heck don't know. Anyone?

Just got my API test kit in and everything looks fine except the nitrates were at 40ppm. When I went to add RO to the sump I noticed one of my little girls must have been messing with it and the skimmer was pulled out of the sump. I put it back how it's supposed to go 2 days ago and there is no...
