I have a 29gal BioCube reef aquarium that is tweaked a bit differently from one straight from a box. I attached a diagram of how a BioCube straight from the box is suppose to operate. In the diagram where it shows a filter I have a skimmer, I use cut and fit blue and white filter pads under the...

This guy is a major survivor! He's an original occupant from when I rescued the tank however this I'm not sure if him dislodging from the rock and forming those nodules as seen in the pics is a good thing or bad thing. He's not loose, still firmly attached so that comforts me. So I'm asking is...

Ok so I have 1 feather duster who's making efforts to reproduce today and making quite a haze in the tank. I wouldn't be worried except that I'm due 2 MO arrivals today. Under normal circumstances I would postpone adding anyone to the tank until my lil duster finished his parade. However, I...

Howdy :) So many times as I read thru the threads the question "What's your pH at?" "What is ammonia reading so far?" A lot hinges on these test results. They literally can be life or death. I use the same kit my LFS (<- look I'm catching on) uses. I use an API Master Test Kit. It tests pH...

I really need as much feed back as possible on this one. As all of you know this is not the cheapest hobby! Plus I don't like killing such precious lil creatures. Now I love the help my guy at the fish store gives and I'm sure if I asked for anything he'd find it for me. However, the cost most...

The 29 gal modified BioCube aquarium that I inherited already came with its own family of bristle worms. It was an established tank and had been sadly neglected and plagued with purple slime. Now I have been told multiple times that these bristle worms are good helpers for the sand. I've lost 3...

So my bubble tip anemone likes to introduce himself to everyone who comes into the tank and it of course hurts some for him to be probing them. Well I moved a rock between the anemone and a new arrival and few hours later he moved out of his regular spot. I moved the cluster of polyps he was...

The LFS owner that I inherited my BioCube from gave me a call a few days ago. He is really trying to get rid of inventory before he relocates rather than move anything live. He was Impressed with my work on the tank I rescued from his shop and he said there were a couple corals that could use...

I just noticed these very dark purple, kind of translucent, cluster of bubbles. I don't have 2 of any of the same species with the exception of hermits and micro starfish.

If people haven't seen me posting, the 29 gal modified BioCube I'm working with was a rescue mission. It came with corals, established somewhat, over come with algae, and plagued with purple slime. It's taken a bit of hard work, frequent water changes and treatment for the slime. I even found...

Ok I rescued this tank. A 29 gal modified BioCube. The corals that are in there came with the tank and it was plagued with purple slime and algae everywhere. Very dirty so i started right away to get in shape. After a small water change shortly afterwards a good treatment for the slime I did a...

Today I needed a smile so I went by my fish store and saw a fella I just fell in love with. Originally I was thinking I'd pick up a brain coral. This was a firemouth scallop. Just beautiful! So I also picked up a skunk shrimp and a bubble anemone. Now I've never seen a scallop in a tank before...

I waited until these guys were asleep because the translucent bubble coming from under the cap of that polyp is hard to see when they're all open. What is it? Why? Is it bad?

Hello all, I'm hoping this forum will be as wonderful of an experience as having my very first saltwater tank :) I rescued my 29gal modified BioCube from a fish store that was relocating. To explain how I received it already established but badly neglected it goes like this.... I live in...
