I have a 90 gallon reef ready tank. I am going to switch it from Reef to freshwater as soon as I get rid of my livestock, corals, clean and re-cycle. I am thinking I want several / many fish as opposed to a few large ones. I'm also thinking I want active colorful fish. Can somebody offer some...

I am currently running a 90g reef ready tank, with a 30g sump. I find I'm having less and less time for upkeep. I tried to search, but didn't really see anything regarding using a drilled tank for freshwater. Any reason not to? I;m used to tons of flow/water movement, this probably isn't...

OK I think I'm over thinking this, but I'm confused. I have started filling my new 90 gal corner overflow. My question is how much water in DT, in sump and in overflow before turning on the pumps? LOL this wasn't a concern on my Biocube.

before and after pics. 11 months apart to the day.

I love my tank, and love showing people. Unfortunately, all I have to take photos is an Alcatel onetouch cellphone. It actually takes a decent image, it's just the color shift/tone/saturation is way off, especially if I'm trying under blue LEDs or actinics. Any advice on settings or possibly...

This plate coral skeleton has at least 14 babies on it, as well as 3 or 4 blue shroom (and a few aptasia :(). Will the babies pop off when they are ready, or should I cut them off? It is a cool piece, just a bit big for my tank.

One of my LFS (actually more coral than fish, but nvm) got in (2) 2 1/2" orange tongo scolys. They have pink rays or striations, and asking price is $49 each, which I would pay and seems a fair price. My question is would they thrive in my tank? 29g biocube with PC lights that I just changed 2...

I just got a yellow watchman goby and a pistol shrimp. They aren't currently paired together, is there a way to play matchmaker? Also, the goby made a burrow behind the rockwork, and the shrimp's isn't very visible either, any way to encourage relocation?

Found these on the underside of the skeleton of my candy cane. The coral hasn't open well lately, are these the cause? Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk

www.oibis.org is the census's freely accessible Ocean Biogeographic Information System. Huge amounts of stuff there. Thought may be of interest to some.

So it turns out these cool looking giant palys I have are so big and so fast growing that they are out competing my good zoas and palys. I was told to inject a few a day with peroxide. Just did my first few, and the closed, threw off some mucus and bubbles, and now, 30 minutes later, look like...

Just reaped the first financial reward of my young reef tank. Traded a 2# rock covered in GSP and a 3# chunk covered in dull green colony polyps for a 1.5" highlighter yellow-green plate coral. List price of plate was $49 but I've wanted to open some substrate and declutter my rockwork...

My first stoney corals to noticably grow, I'm excited. Frogspawn (poor picture, so I circled it) Duncan And hair algae :(

Like many, I heard "you dont need a skimmer on a small tank", I probably repeated it a few times myself. Now that Im battling hair algae, I picked one up on sale, and boy, what a difference! Even not fully tuned, Im getting yellow skimate and my water look 100% better. Im sold...a skimmer for...

could I get an ID on these please, any tips on placement appreciated too. And a FTS TIA

So I went to the LFS get a maxi mini I wanted, and go figure, we couldn't get it to let go of the PVC it attached to. Tried gently picking at its foot with a finger nail, touching ice to it, held out of water for 30 minutes, nothing worked. What is the trick to getting one to let go?

Maybe not the right place, but Petco (boo-hiss) is having its $1 per gallon aquarium sale.

Just had my first real reproduction of a coral, not counting xenia and GSP. (and I've never counted my zoa/paly polyps). My green mushroom is now 2 green mushrooms. No big deal to most people, but I feel like a new dad. :new-bday:

1st 2 pics are of some white fuzz that is under a chunk of LR, seems to be slowly growing. 2nd is of some pink spots, almost look like beads or pellets, that I have noticed on my LR and on some turbo snails, almost seems the snails are producing it. (it is on the lower edge of the snail shown...

I have a 29g biocube with a fuge in the 2nd chamber. There is a filter sponge between the return pump and the fuge. It is a pretty coarse material. My question is should it stay or should it go? Like I said, it's coarse, but coarse enough for 'pods to travel?

Are any of these named varieties?
