Was doing some night time (no lights) viewing of a newly cleaned tank and saw this... After a few mins, it appears the "tentacles" choked the white tube worm looking thing, what appeared like "smoke" came off of it and it started to droop. needed to go take care of non-sleeping kids, so didn't...

Hi All, I've had my 36" Coralife Lunar Aqualight™ with 1-96 watt Actinic and 1-96 watt 10,000K Compact Fluorescent Lamps on my 46 Gallon Bow Front Tank for a little over 2.5 years now and I'm considering a lighting upgrade. I've been pretty happy with the Aqualight, and have had success with...

I added this to my tank this Week and it seem's 'extra' Floppy. It came connected to a smallish flatish rock. The "Stem" area under the head is about 6", but seems to "curve" around and connected to the rock. This is my first leather, and I'm not sure if this is normal until it acliamates or...

Its been a while since I was on here and haven't spent much time on the AA Forum... My aquarium has been pretty much on autopilot, with normal water changes and Water quality tests and such. Aquarium has been up and going now going on 3 years (in Jan) I currently have (2) O.Clownfish, (1) Flame...

Today I received a small White Pom Pom Xenia and just finished acclimating and such but my question is about the "rock" that the Xenia came on... it's kind of this ugly Pink, Perfectly square thing that looks way out of place in my tank... Should I, or can I move the Xenia somehow off this ugly...

I'm looking down the road at my next fish addition to my 46 Gal Bowfront tank (2+ months setup) and would like some input. 75 lbs Live Rock 50 lbs Live Sand (5) Small Blue/Green Chromis (Will be moving 2 to another SW Tank I'm setting up) (1) O.Clownfish (a 2nd is on the way to replace one...

I bought a used 25 Gal (used to be freshwater) Aquarium from a Co-Worker and thought I might set it up as my quarantine tank for my 46Gal Main Tank. I am thinking that I would prefer to keep it running all the time if possible as I don't really have the time to bring up and down every few...

Hi All... I added my 1st "Real" fish to my 46 Gal yesterday evening...I picked up 2 Clownfish at my Local Fish Store, Drip Acclimated for 2+ Hours (30Mins Temp in Bag, and a little over 2hrs Drip in Bucket). I'm not sure if they are Ocellaris or True Percula, but I would have to guess...

I moved my Rock arround a week or so ago and found this thing... not sure what it is, but it doesn't really look "alive", but not 100% sure. Sw2

Hi All, I'm pretty sure my 46 Gal has been cycled for a couple weeks now with Ammonia and Nitrites at Zero since about week 3 (Fishless Cycle using 80 lbs LR and 50 Lbs Live Sand). I picked up a few more Salifert Test Kits and wanted to make sure all of my stuff looked OK before I picked up a...

I just added my clean up crew last night into my 46 Gal and they have started on the reddish\brown algea that I had on a bunch of my glass and quite a bit of my LR, but today I noticed in its place on the glass a sort of "leafy" small green stuff replacing the redstuff... I know I have good...

Just discovered this today on my LR... about 2+ weeks into Cycle.... It's pretty small, maybe 1/4 inch across....Not Great Pics, Macro isn't the best on this camera... Tanks Sw2

I'm looking at getting a Clean Up Crew Package to add to my newly cycled 46 Gal tank. I thought a package would be a good starting point until I know which inverts I like and do the best job in my tank. I am looking at these 3 packages, all which are acually listed for a 30 Gal tank (30-55 for...

I didn't want to completely hijack Vanphyre's Stocking Thread, and I am getting exciting looking at what fish I want to add... Here is what I'm considering... I know that I can't add these all at once... but would be interested in opinions on compatability, timing and order I should add these...

It's now been 13 days since I added my 75-80 lbs of LR into my 46 Gal Bowfront Tank. The LR was 45 lbs of Select Fiji Premium Rock and 35 lbs Fiji Foundation Rock from LiveAquaria. I also had about 20 lbs of LS and 30ish lbs of Non LS. I did a Shrimpless/Fishless Cycle, hopeing that the...

Ok, tomorrow evening will mark 1 week since I put my LR into my tank and what I'm considering the start of my cycle. I'm doing a "fishless/shrimpless" cycle hoping that the Die Off from my LiveAquaria LR will be enough to get my cycle started (and I have dropped a pinch of flake fish food in...

... Dummie = Me! Here is my 3rd or 4th attempt at Aquascaping the ~75-80lbs of Live Rock in my 46 Gallon Bowfront Tank... the first few times were Ok, but it ended up way too close to the front of the tank, so I've spent a good chunk of time (TOO much per the Wife), messing with the LR trying...

I've got the SeaChem Basic Marine Test Kit and have started going through the basic Tests (Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and PH)... My Question is reading the Test Stipes... For Example the Pink color of the Nitrite/Nitrate Tests is virtually the same betwwne 1 and 2.5 for Trite and 2-5 for...

Ok, so my my tank is in the Cycling Process, and I've read on here that I don't really "need" to run my skimmer at this point, but I've had it runninganyhow to try to break it in... My ? is if I need to run that thing 24x7 once I get teh Tank Cycled and start stocking it? It's a Remora Pro...

Ok, so does the "cycle" mysteriously just start when I add my LR/LS into the tank? I just put the LR (~80lbs from LiveAquaria) in my 46 Gal last night, and already had 50 lbs of Sand (20lbs of LS, 30 Non-LS)... I have a Emperor 280 BioFilter running and have my Skimmer (Remora Pro) going, even...

I have my 46 Gal Bowfront waiting for my LR, which should show up today... I ordered 45 lbs of Select Fiji Premium and 35 lbs of Fiji Foundation (base) from Liveaquaria.com that should be delivered this afternoon. I have my Tank filled about 3/4 with RO/DI Water that I've added salt to that is...

I think I'm about ready to start my Cycle in my 46 Gal Bowfront, and here are 5 more ?'s that I've come up with... I'm sure I'll have more, but it's a start... Question #1 : Does the Type of Salt Mix I get matter? I see a few different kinds and one of my LFS had the Big 150 Gal Tub (Coralife...

I need someone to talk me down from the ledge... I don't even have water in my tank yet, and I'm already second guessing my decision to go for a SW setup for my 1st tank of any kind, ever... I just starting getting some of the supplies that I've been buying over the past couple of week and...

OK, I know I'm new to this, but I feel like a total idiot... The seemingly most simple item has already got me stumped. I picked up a AquaC Remora Pro with Mag3 Pump on Ebay... it arrived today, and I don't have a clue how to "hook" the thing up... I get the "Hang On Back" part for the Plastic...

I've been lurking on here for a short bit and have picked up a couple books about setting up a SW tank... I'm looking at FOWLR at least to start with, since this is my first tank of any kind. I’m still very green, but am anxious to get started ASAP. I have a 46 Gal Bowfront that I purchased...
