I ended up finding some local reef club members and got a rock with 30+ mushrooms on it, and then I got a hammer to dip my toe into some lps. First question is, having just a hammer shouldn't require any dosing yet right? Second thing is, as I was driving home, the coral was in a small "pee cup"...

Good to know! Thank you!! I will update if I decide to pick it up!

I definitely will aclimate it to the best of my ability, but didn't really know what all that consisted of, so thank you for that! The acro is a neon green. I don't know much about SPS, so I couldn't give a better description than that. If I notice that the coral isn't coloring up fully, I can...

Are SPS really bad with lighting? I only have a Current USA orbit led on the tank. Everything looks to be doing great, but soft vs SPS is a HUGE change for me in lighting

I currently have a 90 gallon tank set up and has been running for about 3 months now. I was given some coral when I first started and it has since seemed to grow and propagate. All of which was soft coral. Since then I have picked up some more soft coral drags. That being said, a local fish...

I can't find any kind of information on this light what so ever. The only coral I have currently is zoanthids, mushroom coral and green star polps.

I was gifted with an Aqueon optibright 48-54 for my 90 gallon tank. I have tried to find reviews on the light where people tested it for coral, but I haven't found anything. I current have my coral and fish in a different tank, but will be moving them to a 90 gallon in a week or so. I don't plan...

I currently have a 90 gallon freshwater aquarium and how it is set up, I can't have a hood light style light. This was find with my freshwater set up because I used 2 12" amazon submersible suction cup lights and was even able to grow plenty of plants. Now I that I am thinking about moving my...

That's insane! Haha. Just because of the location that the tank is at, I don't have the room for the equipment that would be sufficient to take care of the fish needs, so rather than risk it and possibly waste money on fish, I may just replace my 20 gallon with a 40 gallon so I have more room...

Thanks for the link! I will check it out right now

I would much rather go with HOB if it can be successful, but if worst comes to worst I can stay in my 20 gallon or do some serious piping to have a sump next to the 90 gallon.

I currently am running a 90 gallon freshwater aquarium ( running for 8 months now) with HOB filtration and have negligible levels of nitrates, nitrites, ect. Needless to say it is perfectly balanced and cycled. I also have a 20 gallon saltwater tank (with HOB filtration) that I started running...

I have my 20g tank cycling with live sand currently. It has been about 2 weeks. I was wondering at what point can I begain to stock it. I plan on putting live rock in tommorow, but I didn't know if I could start putting a hardy fish or two in as well or I can only put some snails/ crabs in or...

Using vodka or vinegar instead of water changes? How does that work.

Oh no, I am not really worried about the money too much. I just wanted to see if other people had boiled to get the salt back like this guy. He said he had no issue, so I wanted to see if anyone else had any issues.

I have kept freshwater tanks in the past and I am planning on turning my 20 gallon tank into a saltwater tank. With that, I have been curious about water changes and adding salt. I spoke to my LFS and he gave me the idea of boiling the water I take out of the tank to retrieve the salt to use...

I am setting up a 90 gallon tank and I was curious if I should do like 5 bigger chichlids (ex. Oscar, Texas chichlid) or around 10-12 medium size chichlids like firemouth and black convict. Also, to make my girlfriend happy, she wants a pair of angelfish in the tank. Will the angelfish go with...

I will post pictures once I get it set up. I just don't wanna do something wrong and ruin it all.

Maybe I will keep the corys in my 20 gallon tank then. I will definitely have to learn more about them. Once I see how big they are (and their mouths) I will see how big my other fish have to be.

They seem to have a nice personality if they curl up in your hand to be fed. I plan on haveing some corys in the tank or maybe a pleco so I have the bottom feeders down. I also havent done a tank in a long time and it is the first tank I have taken care of on my own. I will definitely get it...

That seems like a really good idea! I have seen some Diys like that and they seem to work. As for the eel, I will have to see what eels are available and see if it will be safe. They are a nice addition to a tank though.

What size tank do you have all of This in? I just looked up the tire track eel and they say 24" or so and need a min of 125 gallon tank. I just didn't know if they would eat small chiclids or if it was too big for a 90 gallon tank.

I have never really seen any freshwater eels at a fish store! The closest thing I have seen is a bichir. How big is yours and how big will it get? Any comparability issues with the rainbow shark and angelfish?

It was covered in brown algae, so I took it out of the tank and cleaned it and then the color was gone. I am just leaving it out of the tank for now.

If there is agression, is a 20 gallon tank big enough to hold either one of the groups till I figure out what I need to do? Side note, I was looking at my 20 gallon tank yesterday and saw brown algae, so I took out all my decorations and did a 50% water change and cleaned all my decorations...
