Hi Everybody, Today started the beginning of my 30 gallon Saltwater Tank Build. And the 10g Sump Heres a 32 gallon Trash can that will be used for mixing Saltwater. Right now its got all the plumbling equipment. Here is the eggcrate, with my DIY custom eggcrate shelf.. You'll...

Should I let the copepods stay on the glass, and continue to let the tank mature before we use a magfloat on the glass. Or would it be ok to start a routine cleaning of the glass.

I dont know if this is the right forum for this post, but Im seriously concerned that my elegance coral may not be getting enough nurishment from the food I feed the tank. I watched in horror this morning as my newest edition (elegance coral) about 2 weeks in the tank, devoured my clownfish...

Here are some photos!

I've looked at whats available on the market, of both zooplankton and phytoplankton. There seems to be hundreds of different brands. What Im hoping to achieve is growth. I honestly dont care if its the most expensive stuff on the market or the cheapest, I really just want results. Like...

Im from north florida, Live Oak area to be exact. And if you are from around this area, you know as well as I do, our choices for SW species are very limited. Of course theres places in Jacksonville, Gainesville, and so on, but the closest thing I've got is Valdosta. However all of these...

Should I try to retrieve him from under the LR? or is he finding a place to sleep?!

10g Nano Reef (standard 10g tank 20"L) Would the SPS (green birds nest) suffer with that lighting? Its a beautiful coral IMO and I'd love to add it to my tank at some point in the future. However if my T5 HO 24" will not be sufficient I'd have to rethink it. I was told this by the LFS I saw it...

As a few of you might already know, I've started a 10g nano reef. Its been up and running now for about 3 weeks. All levels test fine. Ammonia 0ppm NitrItes 0ppm NitrAtes 0 - 0.25ppm dKh - 9 Calcium (this is where im confused) its testing at around 560ppm, I am aware it should be around 440ish...

I just started a 10g nano, about 2 weeks ago. I added dry sand, and live sand, cured live rock that was being held in a storage tank, and also several pounds of live rock from an established display tank. They were transported two hours in a 6 gallon bucket submerged in the established tanks...

I find it relatively funny, that after 2 months, with a large ammonia battle in between, that my JD, finally got sick of the tinfoil barb swimming back and forth across the glass. My tinfoil came up missing today, and I believe Jack is the culprit. Although the tinfoil was at least 3x...

In my 29g Cichlid tank, I have been battling ammonia spikes for about 2 weeks now. The tank is approx. 2 months old. I've been testing the water 3 times per day since the initial spike. I first noticed the spike when one of my tinfoil barbs started getting a white film on his eyes, and his...

Is this light sufficient enough for my FOWLR 10g? And if i chose to add an LPS, or anemone, which if any could survive on that lighting? Im still learning, so any info on the reasons for the different types of lighting vs. another would also be useful! edit: Just learned a ton from...

Hi, my name is Brandon. I have recently become interested in fish keeping. I am afflicted with a disease known as CCD - Compulsive Collectors Disorder (not doctor diagnosable!). I currently have 4 active tanks, housing some nifty fish I've found around my area in North Florida. In the...
