What's up my AA compadre's? It's been a while since I've posted because my tank has been doing pretty good. But some new algae has been developing. It doesn't look like a nuisance algae, but I could be wrong. The characteristics of it remind me more of coralline than anything else. I've...

Hey everyone, just recently I have noticed a sort of "outbreak" of Sea Squirts in my tank. I haven't been able to count, but if I had to guess I'd say there's anywhere between 5-10. They range in size between a 1/4-1 inch. They're clear in color and sort of striped at the tips of the...

I'm not sure if this has been posted, or if this is old news, but check out the link below. The ocean can produce some pretty scary creatures... http://web.bsu.edu/alpiazza/ics/tsunami_fish/fishies.htm

I'm so excited I just had to tell someone, and I thought no one would appreciate it more than the good folks at AA! The singer of my band had an Oak 55 gal with stand and hood. I decided to ask how much he wanted for it because it's just been sitting out in his garage for the longest time...

Can someone please explain to me how to set one of these up? Like what equipment is needed and how much work would be involved? I'd like to do a DIY project. How much would that cost? Would a 10 gal fuge be ok for my 40 gal. ANY help or info is appreciated. Thanks.

I started adding my sand to the tank and I have horribly white cloudy water now. I'm using Yardright sand. Is this normal? Will it hurt my fish or inverts?

Ok, I'm sick of my crushed coral and I want some new substrate. Should I go ahead and get some Argonite? I've heard live sand is a rip off.

So I'm thinking of investing in a better filter. Right now I have an Emperor Bio Wheel 400. It's got a great bacteria growth on it but I still feel like I'm missing out on something. I was thinking about a Fluval 404 or a H.O.T Magnum 350. Does anyone have any opinion on these products? TIA

I've never heard of blue coraline, but that's the only thing I can make this out to be. Does anyone know what exactly this is?

Here's one of my snail hitch hikers...

So I just got my rock from LR.com. It's beautiful! This is my first time ordering from them, and I am more than satisfied. It made it here sooner than they said it would and they gave me the exact rocks I asked for. I'll post some pics. as soon as the light in my aquarium turns on. I had...

Anybody know what this is exactly? I noticed it about a month ago, it was about half this size. I placed it where there was more light and it's been growing pretty fast.

Hey people, got another question. I just recently set up an old 10 gal. I had laying around, as a QT tank. I'm suppose to be receiving a shimpment of lr from lr.com on the 22nd that the tank needs to be ready for. Nothing is in it right now, not even substrate. How big of a water change...

I've just started dosing my tank a couple of days ago. I've heard it's good if you follow the directions exactly. Has anyone here had any luck with this stuff? If so, did you use a protein skimmer while dosing? How long did it take for you to notice it was working? Any info you could give...

So I know these guys are photosynthetic, right? But do you need to supplement their diet with anything? If so, any suggestions on the best product to do so? TIA Bdawg

Hey experts, thought I would get some input from you so I can figure out if I should upgade my lighting system. My tank is a 40 gal. long, measurements are 48in long x 13in wide x 16in tall, and the light is about 19 inches from the sand bed. My question is would this...

Hey all, I bought one of these little guys (3in.) about a week ago. I've read that you need to feed them 2-4 times a week. I've fed him twice so far (chopped Silver sides) this week. My question is, is that the best thing/way to feed them? The only reason I ask is because I have a tough...

Ok, about four days ago I decided to dust off my protien skimmer and put it back in my aquarium. I had a brand new airstone specifically for the skimmer (it's a Berlin skimmer btw). It was running great and had a great steady foam. Yesterday I topped off my tank w/ about a gallon of water...

If anyone has any idea who has one to sell, let me know!! I'm just looking for the stand and the tank. Thanks, Brandon

Hi everyone, I just found this forum today and so far am really liking it. Everybody is really helpful, and I have recieved great suggestions and advice. My name is Brandon. I 've had my current (saltwater) tank for a little over a year, and numerous tanks before. I worked as an Aquatics...

Hey people, I'm new to the board and had a question about my Flame Angel. A couple days ago I purchased a Flame Angel from a well known, and well trusted aquatics store. It seemed to be doing fine, acclimated pretty well and was even grazing some live rock. All seemed fine until I woke up...
