I have been wanting to grow some coraline algea and I just can't seem to be able to like most people do. I have a 10g and a 29g reef tanks on PC lighting. I was told to get some purple up, but I was wondering if I would need to get some calcium and any other test kits to use that stuff without...

I've had my setup running for a few months after my fish died that were in it. All the problems have been fixed and the corals and inverts are doing fine. I want to take it slow and was hoping to get your advice on the fish selection. I'm going to have to have a clown, but I was also thinking of...

I just realized that my stand doesn't have a place for the front of tank to rest on. The top was built out of angle iron. It didn't seem to be a problem for my 20L that I had on it. I'm going to put a 29G on it. Do you think I should put a piece of plywood over the top? I'm not sure if it will...

I was wondering what I should get to feed my corals. I have soft corals only. I have Kent Marine Iodine, Coral-vite and Essential elements. What else should I feed them? Thanks for the help.

hi. i don't know if you remember my post about a week ago about my new setup, but i but seem to be having a brown algea problem. it is on the cc and rocks. i checked everything and everything is 0 (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate), pH is 8.4, and my salinity is about 1.021 (probably going...

i never had mushrooms before so i don't know how fast they grow. i was given one along with a button polyp (which has "exploded from one to more than i can count) back in febuary or something. the mushroom hasn't done anything except attach itself to a lava rock. is it the lava rock? the lava...

i have some freshwater fish for sale. i live in tyler, but travel through dfw area often. i have: 1 angelfish (black with a few little yellowish batches, male i think) $5? 3 black skirt tetras $2? 1 cory $2? 1 red tailed shark $2? 2 clown loaches $7? 2 otocinclus catfish $4?

ok, first off, from what i've seen, my tank doesn't look as good as basically everyone elses. i don't know how you guys do it. it's not completely finished, i'm gonna get sand and probably make my own rock soon. the sump isn't fished, either. well let me tell you my story about how i got to this...

i was wondering why/if you have to mix the concrete with caribi-sea sand? in rc there is a thread about using pulverized limestone as a substrate, and people do use linestone in their tanks, so can you make the rock with it to?(if you need to mix it) i guess i don't really see the reason to mix...

i have had this coral since i started sw. it looked like the first pick untul i moved and then it became really hot and the tank was pretty hot. i also lost another coral, but my button polyps and shrooms are as good as ever. now the coral looks like the second pic. it went white and shrank into...

after looking at different brands of pc i came across Odyssea. are they any good? they seem to be considerable cheaper than say the Current USA ones. is it true here "you get what you pay for?" thanks for the input.

i have some Eco-Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate that i've had for probably a few months. it in my tank now with a crypt and java fern, that i'll throw in too. its in a 20l tank, and from that sand depth calculator, its about 62 lbs. no sure if thats rights, but it is 3 inches deep in that...

i've decided on making a 10 gallon refuge for my 10 gallon tank. in the intake area, will be a skimmer, heater and intake from main tank of course. then i was going to use three baffles to reduce bubbles, which will empty into the refuge area. and to give you the whole picture, i will then use 2...

i bought this algae the other day and don't remember what it is called. i was hoping you can help me ID it and let me know how to grow it in my refuge. i also have some algea i was given by a friend. its like a ball of wire. thank you.

hello again. i was hoping any of you could help me figure out how to build a skimmer for my 10 gallon tank and 10 gallon sump. i left for about ten days and i noticed dirty bubbles on the surface. i figured i better get a skimmer fo rit. my problem is that all the plans i fond seem to build...

I was hoping you guys could help me decide on how I can improve my already flawed design. Currently I have a 10 gallon display tank and I’m using another 10 gal tank to put the heater and filter. I made a siphon that connects to the float valve in the sump so it won't over flow. The problem with...

hi- I'm new to here but i have had fish tanks for a few years. I'm no expert but i know i bit. anyways, i have this idea for a setup, but was wondering if it would work or if it isn't a good idea. i was think of a "closed" system so to speak. it would basically be sealed except where an...
