sorry i can get a pic. i can barely even see whatever it is. all i can really see are these little white orb's floating around near a transluecent mass. i only noticed them while cleaning the rock. i saw the little white balls pulling towards the suction, if not for that i dont think i would...

does it matter which bulbs (temp.) go in front or back of the fixture? the way i got my coralife the daylights were in the front. i switched them and i like the way it looks with the actinics in front, is there a difference? also, can you mix match them? i already broke most of the stupid little...

i just bought a coralife 76002 ro/di unit with a 30 gallon res.(trash can), a float valve installed and a rio 2100. along with a bunch of hose. i paid 80.00 bucks for all of it, is that a good deal or did i get "hosed" (pardon the pun)? unfortunatley i dont know how to install any of this stuff...

the little thing dissapeared before i could get the camera... i bought a small piece of tonga rock with a few purple mushrooms on it. on one tip of the rock i noticed what i thought to be a polyp of some type. while i was trying to plce the rock so everybody was visible i must have brushed the...

well i bought a small piece of montipora, and i am having a hard time figuring out exactly where and how to attach it. so far i just kinda wedged it(gently) into a piece of acropora skeleton. thanks p.s. i love me some visa giftcards, i got the above piece of montipora(about 3"), a meat...

i was just wondering about the bio-load of lps corals. the lfs has a sale when you buy 3 at once. i want to be sure that it wouldnt be too much of a boost in waste, if that is even something i should consider? they are small, i believe single head only. do we really have to worry about the waste...

i was just wondering if it's possible to have too much coraline algae? i noticed it has really started taking off in my tank. there are tons of spots on the glass, all the freshly cured lr is getting covered, even areas on the sand are now covered. i also noticed my sponge which i hide under an...

what happens when you run out of space on a rock for the coral/polyps growing on it? i bough a large rock covered in polyps less than a month ago, and now there really isnt any room left on the rock for these guys to grow. are they gonna kill eachother, or move or something? what about breaking...

as long as we are waiting for some pics....i have some of my algae "problem" (not sure if it or not). mind giving me some quick info? this stuff is ONLY under where the led moonlights, which are constantly on. i have sucked the top layer off before exposing new white sand, and within a day or...

it would appear that my led's are causing algae growth directly beneath them. i have just been running them 24hrs a day since i am running out of space for timers and whatnot. any pro's/cons in doing so, besides the apparent algae problem. the algae is not bubble, or hair, it's like powder on...

it is obvious that i should set up a qt, especially the further and further i get into my tank. i would hate to lose everything over laziness. my main question is what is generally required for a qt, and how do most people set them up? are the constantly running, or do you just add tank water...

there are these little light colored pin size dots arranged in what appears to be some sort of pattern in small splotches here and there. they are light colored, and look almost like air bubbles that have stuck to the glass. they are not "slimy" per say, it's kinda a rough texture and took some...

i awoke this morning to see that my tank is super cloudy, the only thing i have done differently is i added some liquid calcium to the water for my toadstool last night several hours before i went to bed. the water was fine then. i'm gonna do a pwc right now, any explanations as to why this...

i had this white sponge high up on the rocks before i bought my new light(260w pc) when i put the light up i didnt think to move the sponge down. within a few hours of being up there he changed color to this weird green and developed some light colored areas. since then i moved him to the sand...

i left about three hours ago and the power was on, when i got home the power was out. there must have been an accident into a poll or something, but i know it's been a max of 3 hours without power. my question is now what? do i need to do a pwc or something? it sounds like a dumb question to me...

i notice every once in a while that i get a blast of micro bubbles from my fluval 405, a while being a day or two. is that a sign of a pin hole leak somewhere, or are they supposed to do that? also, i was under the impression that micro bubbles are a bad thing is that true? thanks

whats the story with co2 injection into the water? i happen to have built some of the setups i see for aquarium use for co2 injection in my hydroponic garden. they only cost about 30 dollars to make, so if they are usefull maybe i'll put one in/on the tank. i just dont have any clue what it...

are polyps supposed to cost something? i bought some live rock out of one of the display tanks, from the store's new guy. it is covered in mushroom polyps, and the guy charged me 4.99 a lb. there are like 30 in all, ranging from 1/4" to 2"+. the total was $15.00, my question is, is that good? i...

is it possible to have no "cycle" at all? maybe i got lucky or something? i have a 60g tank that i just switched to sw. i started by filling the tank with sw, then checked the salininty within a couple of hours and added the live sand. after it settled, i added the live rock(50lbs). four days...
