Hi guys, I'm planning to set up a 10 gallon mini reef at work and was curious if the 20" 28watt coralife compact light is enough?

Hey guys, Anyone know how to propagate a red tree sponge. I was told the sponge could not be exposed to air.. The epoxy I have doesnt work under water. Is there anyway to get him to stay "put" somewhere? :?

I currently have a 29g with a hang on Berlin skimmer. ( have to empty the cup every other day) Not sure what model though.. I have 25lbs of LR, and as for corals I have yellow polyps, button polyps, a gonipora, star coral, and a tree sponge..

Hi everyone, This is kind of a stupid question, but hey! I dont know any better so what the heck.. :D I'm currently using DT's live phytoplankton and its causing everything in my tank to turn green..Its getting all over my glass and rocks.. I use about a cap-full a day....It gets very green on...

Hi guys, I bought a red tree sponge and this was attached to bottom of it. Does anyone know what it is? The LFS said it was an illegal coral to keep captive.. Sorry this is the best picture I can take..

I have a 29g setup with 1-65watt white and 1-65watt actinic..totaling 130watts. Currently I was running the blue for 12hrs and white for 10..Any suggestions on when to run the lights to promote the coralline growth?

Hi guys/gals, How do I get coralline to grow on my LR? I have a little bit on there now that was there from when I bought it..I read an article that said for the first 2 weeks, let my actinic light run for 24hrs introducing the white an hour or so as the days pass. I also read something on...

my bad i mean RO/DI purifier......

Hey guys/gals, My tank has been set up for about 7-8 months now and I have recently switched over from a fowlr to a reef system.(in the early stages) I have a 29g tank that I've always top off with distilled water when I had fish only. Now that I'm doing a reef setup I was curious if it was ok...

hey thanks..guys..

yep..thats pretty close...

I cant take any pics, he exposed himself for like 5 seconds and took off underneath all the rocks.. :( He was quite fast for a starfish.. sorry..If he ever comes out, i'll try to take a pic of him/her :lol:

I just purchased some yellow polyps from the lfs. (was told they were easy beginner's coral) It has about 20-30 polyps on a piece of rock. I have it sitting in between some of my LR, hoping it will spread on its own to other rocks. Will it propagate on its own or can I cut it and place them in...

Is it ok to lay the live rock on the substrate (sand and crushed corals) or must you set it up to so called aquascaping? (live rock sitting on top of some sort of 1-2" of pvc piping) I've seen alot of tanks that look like the rock is sitting on the bottom....

I read this off of petsolutions.com....now im confused to who's right... While the reef inhabitants would be perfectly content with just an actinic blue light, reef keepers would be disappointed with the appearance of the aquarium. The human eye is designed to use the yellow/red spectrum, so...
