Thanks for all the great advice. I will be cleaning up the tank tonight after my daughter goes to bed. Feels good to be back.

Another Starting over question... So I posted a couple of questions in my last post and I have gotten some great feedback, BUT I need help with one other thing. How should I clean my old tank? Does it need a scrub with a brush and warm water? Does it need soapy water? bleach? Help...

Just to clarify - I don't have any of the LS I did. So should I get some sandbox sand and then seed that with some LS from the store? Thanks and sorry for any confusion.

Hey all, It has been a long time since I have posted or been on AA. We had a little baby in the meantime and she has been taking up my time. However, my clownfish died after about 3.5 years and I want to start completely over. When "she" finally died the tank had become overrun by algae so I...

So I have been having a hair algae and bubble algae issue. I have been doing consistent water changes and have been manually removing both but I wasn't seeming to get anywhere. I went to my local store and they were telling me that an emerald crab would be one of the best additions to the...

Howdy all, I have been away for too long but things have finally become somewhat organized in my life. My tank has suffered a little and I am down to two snails, 2 fish and coral up the whazoo! I am off to the store this evening to get some new crabs and a couple of shrimp. Hopefully they...

I do have some Kenya tree corals. Obviously I don't want to harm them but I also want to get rid of the hair algae. My water parameters have been where they need to be the last couple of times that I have checked and I have been doing water changes every day since I returned home, I was on...

Ok, because it has been summer, I haven't had my heater in my tank. I am thinking that I need to put it back in but I can't remember if I need to keep the tank higher than 80 degrees (that is what it is reading at this time) Also, is 5-7 hours of light too little or have people found that to be...

Won't turning the lights off for a couple of days affect your corals that are in your tank?

Just wondered if anyone else caught the season premiere of ABC's Extreme Home Makeover. Ty and the rest of the crew built a gorgeous house, as they always do, for a disabled veteran. Let me tell you what...15 minutes into the first hour and I was crying. What an emotional two hours. Anyway...
