What started out as one RBTA has turned into 7. Largest one is 4-5" when fully inflated. $50 each. Not willing to ship, pick up in West Los Angeles only. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I've had it for a few months now and it has been growing very well. I was out of town for the weekend and when I returned on Monday I noticed it wasn't opening up except for the newest sprout. I did a water change like I regularly do the next day, but it has now been 4 days and its still not...

My 50 Gallon Starter Reef Tank My tank has been running for a few years and I just started getting into coral about 7 months ago. I'm working my way up to more coral, so far so good. My Rose Anemone already split in two and now my clowns have his and hers beds to sleep in at night :) Let me...

I've had an eheim 2236 canister filter which is rated for 60 gallons for the past 3 years. I've upgraded to a Rena XP3 which is rated for 165 gallons a few days ago. Both of them are now running simultaneously. I am thinking that two of them would be a lot of maintenance and remembering about...

Thanks for this. I have been doing most of the thing on that list. Except I am afraid to leave my lights off for too long. How long can my coral and anemone survive without light? Can they get by with as little as 3 hours a day?

I usually take water from the tank to defrost my frozen brine in it then use a turkey baster to feed the corals. The water from my tank comes from my RODI system. You think I should strain the brine and rinse it with my rodi water?

I must have been mistaken then, he isn't captive bred because I only paid $20 for him. My lfs must have meant that he has been "trained" to eat frozen brine.

I got two sea hare's from Live Aquaria to help combat my hair algae problem (along with water changes, lowering light time and adding phosphate remover). But its been about a week and they have barely touched the stuff. I see them slither over it, but they aren't eating it. Did I get the wrong...

I have a 50 gallon tank with about 70 lbs of live rock. 2 clowns, a firefish, a rock blenny and a mandarin dragonette. I have 10 hermit crabs, 5 snails and 2 emerald crabs. For coral I have bubble coral, a small hammer head coral, a small frogspawn, a duncan and a rose anemone. I have a eheim...

So I guess I am just going to reduce my feedings and light times and keep doing 10% water changes every week. I also ordered two sea hares in the meantime. Do you guys think it could also be the supplements I am adding for the coral? I've been adding "Liquid Reef" calcium 2 times a week and...

My Mandarin seems to be doing fine, I've had him for over a month now. He was captive bred and the LFS said he was eating frozen brine. However, I haven't seen him eat any of the brine shrimp that I feed the tank with. I see him picking at the live rock all the time so I'm guessing he's finding...

What if I pick up two of these Sea Hares? Does anyone know if this is a good type of Sea Hare for hair algae? Saltwater Aquarium Invertebrates for Marine Reef Aquariums: Sea Hare Sea Slug It seems like LFS stores around Los Angeles don't carry Sea Hares for some reason.

I use Aquarium Pharmaceuticals test kits.

Is it ok to leave my lights off for a day or two per week? How about if I reduce the time the lights are on to 6 hours a day?

I have my lights running for 8 hours a day, from 4 pm till 12. It doesn't receive direct sunlight during the day. I have a automatic feeder that gives a small amount of flake food once a day. I usually feed the corals and fish with a half to 3/4 of a brine shrimp fish shaped cube once a week.
