I am upgrading from a 60gallon tank to a 90gallon with 40gallon sump. I've already got the tank but I'm trying to get everything in order before switching everything over. I'm looking for an in sump skimmer for my new set up. The skimmer I have currently, for my 60g, I have liked very much but...

I wanted to start a thread to document my upgrade to a 90g reef ready tank and for questions I'll have along the way. I am currently running a 60g that has been up since the beginning of November. Here is a FTS I took of the 60g yesterday. Here are the specs for my 60g: 85lbs of rock Fish...

I currently have a 60 gallon tank that has been up and running (finished cycling) the beginning of November. I'm still wanting more corals here and there, but was through, I believe, in terms of stocking fish in my 60 gallon. I had been thinking about how much I'd like a larger tank; more...

Please help! There is definitely something going on with my hammer. At first it just closed up after a 15 gallon water change early Thursday morning. My mushrooms/ricordia closed as well, along with my zoas and leathers, and although they haven't really opened up they are not showing the signs...

Running Carbon? When I first got into this hobby I thought my tank would be strictly FOWLR but things have changed and I've taken a liking to coral, too much of one maybe. I've tried to do my research on my way, more specific to the needs of each individual coral that I've wanted to keep. For...

I set up my marine tank mainly because I wanted to house a puffer. I've had my tank ready for some time and have been ready for the puffer for some time as well. I was waiting to have other tankmates stocked and mainly because the two puffers I have narrowed it down to had not been in stock...

Now that I've got some LPS corals in my tank I'm getting what I need to monitor additional levels in my tank and want to have on hand what I'll need to dose. I'm ordering the Red Sea kit that will allow me to test for mag, alk, and cal. I wanted to go ahead and order any supplements I would...

I'm still trying to decide on another small fish for my tank that will be the next addition, before my last intended stock, toby puffer. I am interested in some of the gobies like the yellow watchmen and clown. However, I have a Starry Blenny (Salarias ramosus) and am not sure how that may play...

My tank is a 60 gallon and I currently have two marineland powerheads, one 1200 and one 900. The powerheads are working fine but there are a couple aspects about them I don't care for so am looking to replace the two. I'm leaning towards the Koralias, I've thought about the Tunze but there is a...

I already had a few corals in my tank but I placed and order for a few more and they came in today. The LPS corals from the order I received will be the first LPS corals in my tank and I'm pretty excited about it. These photos were taken after they were added to my tank directly after...

Right now my lighting consists of a 4x54w bulb T5HO fixture with two 10ks and two actinics. I'm not having any issues with the fixture but with there being more affordable options with LEDs now, I'd like to upgrade. I don't intend to keep SPS, just softies and LPS, but I know if I changed my...

I'm looking to get a few more test kits now that I'm beginning to add corals to my tank. All I have now are ricordias, rhodactis mushrooms, zoa colony, snowflake polyp colony, and a sinularia leather. I don't really have any intentions of adding SPS corals, if I do it will be quite a while, but...

I just added another 10lbs of live rock to my tank that just finished curing. So far these are two hitchhikers I've found, I never really had any on any of my other live rock. I've circled the two items in this picture. I've pretty sure the top is a sponge. The other looks like a...

I purchased what was labeled as a Sinularia leather about three weeks ago. It looked like the first photo when first placed in my tank but opened up in a few hours, like the second photo shows. I did move it up onto the rock a couple days later and believe it was happy there as it opened up...

It was my interest in puffers that led me to set up my saltwater tank. It has been up and running now for about 5 months. I have not added the puffer to my tank yet as it will be my last addition because I've been stocking based on aggression and wanted other tankmates in before the puffer...

I've finally decided to register with this site after many months of browsing as I've been trying to learn as much as I can after just setting up a saltwater tank a few months ago. I am a member of another forum that has helped me in my saltwater venture but there isn't much focus on corals...
