Someone had a booth at MACNA with CB cuddle fish. They said live aquaria divers den was supposed to have them soon. Anyone planning to give one a go ?

Does the TT-AL09 model have lunar or night time lighting or will i need to get the TT-AL16 model with the timer to get the lunar feature? I'm entertaining the idea of dropping my 6ft MH fixture down to two Taos on my 210 to save on heat and power bills although they produce amazing coral colors...

The dotty back in the picture. What kind is it? I'm debating on removing it because it's still getting bigger and bullying my other fish. It eats algae sheets like a pig that hasn't been fed in weeks

I bought the tetra 40 breeder from petco for $40 and was curious if anyone has drilled the tanks before on the side glass. I know the bottom glass is tempered but what about the sides? I need to drill a return for my skimmer into the side of the tank since I run an external skimmer to make my...

Ok here is my dilemma. I have a 210 with a 40gal wet/dry sump that I've had for years, but its so much hassle pulling the filter pads out and trying not to make a mess and in the three years I've used it I have never found a simple way to do it. Also I want a little more sump volume. I bought a...

I've sold them but never kept one. Tank has very little coral mainly just what I couldn't get off when I sold everything else. Even though they are reef safe trigger I am not worried about that. Only inverts are a horse show crab, urchins, and some starfish. But how aggressive are these...

What are the pros and cons of vodka dosing. I have a 210 gallon reef tank Lps dominated. I would like to keep my phosphates and nitrates as low as possible. Would I be better off using a reactor for GFO and Carbon or try vodka dosing since the reactor won't do anything for my nitrates? Please...

I have a black saddleback clown and he is roughly 2-2.5 inches in size and he is not really hosting as much as sleeping on my wellsophyllia brain coral. If I move the coral, it goes right back to it. I assume this saddleback has become the female as it has doubled in size compare to the other...

This is just an informative thread. My clown trigger, who I've had for about 10 months in my 125, decided today that my knuckle was his meal. Thankfully I saw him coming and got out "almost" in time, he grazed my knuckle biting through the rubber glove and slicing my knuckle slightly. Clown...

I set up my 180 gallon tank (6ftx2ftx2ft) approx 2 years ago. I used caribsea oolite sugar sand and now that ive decided to go reef i am getting more annoyed by the sand being blown across the bottom of the tank. its just the front center and it will go a couple weeks until i can see the bare...
