Hey folks here some info for you. I just came from CTE Aquatics in Towson, Md and they are selling these fish that eat brine shrimp for $39! I asked if he could feed him and he jacked them up. So I picked one up. Mine is a nice size. Guy says he loves to eat the stuff. I will take pics when I...

Hello all. I got this rock with these basically bleached corals about six or seven months ago. I even put them in a tub of peroxide a few months ago to kill some hair algae off them. But with in the past month or so it looks like some fleshy pink is growing on all three of these coral skeletons...

Hello all. I got this in a bag that had some purple star polyps in it. It's purple, solid and has attached to the live rock. It seems to be growing.

I just woke up to see a little red legged hermit crab having breakfast! He ripped the poor shrimp in half and is going to town between these rocks. I didn't know they would react like this. Is this normal? I just got that shrimp yesterday:-(

Hello all. This past weekend a friend of mine hooked me up with a boat load of frags. One of which I noticed had a few really cool looking star polyps growing in between the zoas. Is there any way to get those off and frag them.

This tank has made me learn a whole lot. It crashed and this is my second time around. I have a BH-2000, reef octopus reactor, a 75g fluval hob, a 175g canister, and (2) 500 gph power heads, (2) 800 gph power heads. I run GFO in my reactor. A bag of phosguard in my canister, and my canister has...

I was checking out my tank and noticed these inside the dark hole in a piece of base rock.

I picked up this little rock. It looks to have several types of zoas and a lil transparent bubble. Any ideas? I wish I had a better camera because I can see some other duller zoas along with the five rasta looking zoas.

I have had this skimmer for about 3 months or so. So it's still pretty new. My question is, is it just me? I have to adjust this thing like all day long. I am constantly adjusting the piece that sucks the water in. Even after three months it still gurgles if the water is just at the point where...

Is this normal? I have had my yellow tang for a few days. Today I noticed on both sided he has this bright white stripe. He didn't have this before???

I have one of these that seems to have an appetite for corals. He doesn't seem to. Like any form of algea. Not even the sea weed you buy from the LFS. I would like to trade him for a small yellow tang. He is all black. I live in Hanover PA. If interested drop me a line. If you would like to buy...

Hey everyone I wanted to know if I could mix GFO and phosguard in my reactor?

Anyone know where I can get these? I had a couple suction cups break and now they are useless. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. I wanted to ask probably a silly question. I was checking out a nice RO/DI system on bulk reef supply and it said it can produce 75g per day. But what if I don't need that much water? Can I turn it off and use it when needed? I usually like to keep 20g on hand for my 55g tank. I...

Hey folks I have been struggling over the past few months with my 55g tank. After lots of thought I think what made my take crash was my live rock that I added that wasnt cured enough. Even after this long it's still driving me must with hitch hikers I don't want. So I have decided to sell all...

Hey folks it's me again. I'm just going through a very frustrating noob moment that I can't seem to get out. Every since my tank crashed a month or so ago I have completely drained all water, basically scrubbed down all rocks, sifted sand bed. But nothing I seem to do will get my water clear...

Please help. I'm about to give up. Last night I emptied all my water put in salt and I come home and it looks like there are spider webs in my tank. Do I need to replace the sand?

Hey folks....I have one of these and for some reason it's gurgling. I don't know what to do to make it stop. It's starting to annoy my wife. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey folks I was on FB and saw this tank. I noticed he has 9 clown fish and it appears to be maybe 1 tang of some sort. Could I do this in my 55 g? Like maybe 4 clowns and one of something else. Heck maybe even 5 clowns alone? I'm a big fan of clowns.

Hello all. After a month or so ago I had a bad tank crash. Anyway I decided to completely do a 100% water change! sift out sand and scrub down my live rocks with a nice medium tooth brush. I did this because I just could not figure out why my tank crashed and why I could not keep literally...

Is this ok? I just redid my tank. 100% water change but kept the sand. I think this must have been there.

Yesterday my wife and I decided to take a trip up to Lancaster, PA and check out "That fish place." The store was amazing! They had several man made indoor I ground pools. One had a very large petting pool. You could pet the sting rays. That was interesting. One of the. Sting rays liked to...

Hey everyone I was just setting in front of my tank and I noticed all these little tiny white critters on the glass. My daughter thinks they are parasites. Any ideas before I put something in my tank?

As a noob to this hobby I have learned a great deal from trial and error and lots of reading. One things I tried to ignore was believing that the cost of a protein skimmer was 100% = to how good it was. Lol. Well after going through a cheap eBay $45 skimmer to an eMangus. I ended up buying a...

Well after my tank totally crashed after putting in some new live rock, this is what's going in now. I can definitely see it's going through a new cycle. Seeing green algae again. But on the new rocks seeing this white hair like stuff. Also seeing these corals and other things on rock. Any ideas...
