Oh wow. Thanks! I ended up shattering the rock everywhere (I tried using pliers) and now I have 4-5 different branches all over the tank. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have never been a fan of T5 lighting (tried it and hated it) *hides under rock* But I am definitely looking into some sort of powerful LED system. Really, really love the Kessil - any experience with it? Anyone? I have read some members on here use the ebay LED successfully. I have the...

I honestly do not remember what lighting I have... I posted it somewhere on the forum and was told it would probably not have enough light. I have successfully kept Xenia and 2 anemones with it. I do not think it will be enough for a deeper tank. If I get the 120, I plan on getting (2) Kessil...

Hello! Not sure where to post this, so I chose this as closest topic. I currently have a two-three year old saltwater tank. It is 55 gallons with about 80-100 lbs of live rock. I am interested in upgrading to a 120 gallon tank (same 4 foot long footprint). My question is whether I would have...

I bought a little Xenia a couple of months back and now I have about 6 of them. Which doesnt bother me at all. I hope to attach the colonies to a flat rock and use a magnet on one side and a magnet outside the tank to sort of have them grow on the walls. (Or at least the flat rocks) I also have...

Ive had ich - I have tried EVERY SINGLE "reef-safe" medication. They do not work - do not believe them. The Herbatana(sp?), the Kordon reef-safe Prevent Ich, Kick-Ich, etc. all say they are effective, I personally call BS. The quarantine method works (although for me it always stressed the fish)...

Its been a while! Still terrified of the copepods... I have the new foam cylinder for the pump, and I still cant get myself to change it. I know it makes no rational sense, but I just cant! My room still sounds like Niagara and I just cant bother anymore (I lost my airline tubing down the tube...

Okey dokey. So I received a free sample from Nuagli Aquarium and I used it for 2 weeks now (except instead of once a week I dosed every day for like 3 days before I figured out the discrepancy in the words week vs daily ...oops) They claim to have less algae buildup on the glass - which did...

Haha I am nowhere that good! Hope someone knows!!

The Xenia hates me bothering the water flow it receives - it constantly curls up like in the picture above if I somehow bother it. Picky little thing

No progress with the overflow. I am simply ignoring the sound because I do not have patience to do anything about it. In the meantime, my Xenia was placed lower in the tank and within 6 hours it opened up, and within 24, it started pulsing. Which is simply mesmerizing to watch! The Condy...

Nope. So I guess I will be looking for a new overflow.

Haha I thought of that but she spread the eggs on two different walls around an area of 12" by 12". Maybe ill just shoo away the fish (wishful thinking)- the fish will pick at it the moment they see movement. Oh well, you cant win all your battles in an aquarium. Like today I re-did my rock...

I hope mine just fall into the sand and live in there. Without being immediately eaten. I wish I could somehow make their chances at survival higher. I am cursing the snail mom for not laying the eggs on the rocks.
