My first expensive coral purchase. Cheapest of all Acans at the store though :). Notice all the little polyp at the bottom right of the frag, man I hope these grow fast. I think I have about 10 of them down there. Could someone help me identify these? Got them at fish store but forgot what...

My 75g tank is now up and ready for the move. I am moving everything from my 40 which I will be turning into the sump into the 75. Here are some pictures so you guys can see the progress of the build Right behind this tank is where I will be putting my 75 Lucky for me there is a big closet...

I have these two odd looking things in my tank and would like some kind of identification for them. This one is a snail but doen't seem to have a shell. The shell on it is somewhat like a half of a clam. This one looks like a stalk of a mushroom, or toadstool leather. I just noticed it...

Going to my first ever fragswap, I have to say it was amazing. Especially being able to buy soo many frags at such a low price. Heres what I was able to go away with from the swap. Hammer Star polyp with watermelon zoo far left of rock, hard to see. Blasto Frogspawn with some hitchhiker...

I bought a torch coral frag from a frag swap this past weekend. Didn't realize that it was shattered when I bought it. It is only one head and broke off into 3 pieces, I mistakenly ripped them apart instead of trying to maybe tie it together. Anyways it looks still alive but not quite sure. I...

I am getting a frogspawn, and hammer corals this weekend at a frag swap. I read that I shouldn't have hermit in with these types of corals because the crab will irritate their skin. So should I try to sell them and get snails? I have about 20+ of them in my 40g, provided my CBS hasn't eaten most...

I need to get some powerhead for my 75g tank. I was thinking of getting 2 maxijet1200 and modding it, or get 2 koralia 3. What do you guys think, or should I go with some other brand?

Going to start another sump for my 75. The last sump that I did for my 40g, I didn't have much success. So this time I would like to get some advice so I can do it correctly. The 10g sump I had could not hold enough water in my return and my overflow box was not running enough water from the...

I am planning on upgrading to a 75g with a 40g sump. I currently have a mag 7 pump for my eventual return. The 75 is not drilled currently, hopefully that will change soon. So I am wondering what size bulkhead should I go with? I am thinking of only doing one hole for the flow to the sump, and...

I set up my 10g sump, with a mag7 pump to my 40g. I am losing about a gallon of water a day, is this right? Every night returning from work I would have to add almost 1 gallon of water to the sump to get the water level where it should be. How much water are you guys losing?

Here is my story, I think I might go crazy if this keep happening to me. I have my tank for a little more than a month now. Everything is fine and dandy as far as water quality is concerned, followed every tips and suggestions on this site as well as many other sites. Bought 2 clowns to start...

I haven't seen it but I know where it reside. It is living under a mound on one of my LR. I first noticed that mound a few days ago, the mound looks like rat droppings(1/10 the size of rat droppings, but same shape). After a week, the mound is huge, it is pushed over the side of one of my LR...

I got one in my tank, he swims around mostly at night. I thought it was something good to keep in my tank, but now checking xtalreef. He has a "bad" icon next to him. So my question is how do I catch him?

Just started a 40g tank and would like some feedback please. So far I added 20 lbs of aragonite sand(not live) into the tank and let the sediments settle for about a day. Day two I bought 7 lbs of live rock and added them into the tank to let it start the cycle. I then added 4 lbs of bare...

I finally decided to get an aqua c remora hang on skimmer with maxi-jet 1200 pump. I figured I would be hanging the skimmer on the 10g sump because I don't have much room to work with. Planning on building a continous overflow wier with a 1" drain. What I would like to know is which pump...

I am just starting to do a 40g setup and would like to know if getting the octopus 150 skimmer is good? planning on building a sump and putting it in the sump. What do you guys think about this skimmer, I really dont want to spend too much for a skimmer. If not this skimmer, could you guys...
