Been a long time, but came back because I was wished a happy birthday! Hope you guys and gals are all still reefing. I actually sold mine 8 years ago after 20 years of having a reef tank due to upkeep and having both work and two kids. Did I read that it's really tough to get Fiji live rock...

My Zoas are closing up and not propagating well. Please look at my numbers below and tell me what you think. Zoas are typically easy to care for, so I didn't think the bulbs were the issue (I know they're at the end of their life, but they shouldn't close up just yet (I've had other T5's last...

I picked these up from a friend and not sure what kind they are. Any ideas? I was thinking orange bam bam zoas, but really not sure. Any help appreciated. I could always make up a name like everyone else...

I like feeding my fish an assortment of foods through a turkey blaster. But if you have to target feed, or you have to get the food to "lower level" fish, how do you feed them? I ask because my watchman goby doesn't get as much food as the "middle" and "top" swimmers. I've been putting my arm...

Oh boy. I woke up at 5am this morning to a loud noise downstairs in my family room. Sure enough, it was the sound of my return pump sucking air. Immediately (while half asleep), I go into shock mode. Is everything okay? Are there floating fish? Corals ok? I run downstairs to a puddle of...

I've been thinking all along this is a ocellaris, but could it be a true percula?

The built-in overflow boxes of my 125 have very loud "trickling" sounds. It's really rather noisy. How do you guys stop this for your tanks? Also- how do you stop this for loud return lines? (I have flexible tubing). I've straightened out the flex tubes as much as I can.

Sorry - I couldn't find the answer to this in a FAQ, or by a search: This is how I used to delete an image from my gallery: gallery > my stuff > my images > click on the picture > image tools > edit image > delete image. But how do I do it now? Thanks for any help.

Hi all, Well I just bought some lights as an 'impulse buy'. Typically, my 'impulse buys' aren't too smart, but I couldn't pass this one up. I was holding out to buy some lighting for my 125gal tank. It's been FOWLR for almost 2 years, and since it's doing so well, it's time to jump to REEF...

I've inherited a 125 gallon tank about a year ago. I've had inverts, cuc, and a mated pair of ocellaris clowns in there for about a year (the only fish in there so far). I added 6 green chromis to the tank over the last 2 weeks. Within these 2 weeks the big clown has nipped and nipped and...

Do any of you use a turkey blaster or a powerhead to blast away detritus or junk off of your LR before you do your water changes? I've always done that, but I wonder if you all just rely on your CUC to do that.

No question, just wanted to comment that my peppermint shrimp just destroyed an Aiptasia before my eyes. I've always known that some peppermint shrimp eat them, and others don't- but I enjoyed watching one of my shrimp dismantle an Aiptasia rather quickly. He crawled up to it- and felt around...

This is in my sump. It is the big fat worm next to the thin, long bristleworm. Is this thing bad? Should I remove it? Sorry, pic and post from my phone, so I hope it turns out

Hi all, I'm considering upgrading to one of these tomorrow. And for some reason, I can't wrap my brain around this right now. What happens when the water level evaporates by 1 inch and the left chamber does not spill over to the second (middle) chamber? What stops this from happening so the...

Hi all, My first fish I ever got is a yellow-tail damsel and he just had his 6th birthday. I was wondering if anyone knew how old they get? Thanks in advance...

Hi all, Been away for a year or so, but glad to be back in the fishtank world. Got my 55gal back up and running, as well as my 45gal. Missed this place!

When you all do your water changes, do you gently blast your LR with a turkey blaster beforehand? The reason I'm asking is because I'll GENTLY blast along the top of the LR and in some of the crevasses and TONS of detritus and junk will come out, to be sucked up by siphoning. Do any of you all...

I've had aiptasia in my tank now (it came in on some LR and I never knew it) for about 3 months. They've reproduced like crazy and were everywhere. I kept on using Joes Juice to zap them, but it never seemed to fully kill them. They just kept coming back. I think it's because I couldn't zap...

Hi all, What's the latest on Liverocks.com? Are they going to sell again any time soon? Sorry if this has been asked lately. I did a search here on 'liverocks.com' and didn't find any new news on them. TIA...

Anyone have any ideas of catching a bi-colored pseudochromis in my 55gal? My friend wants him for his 75gal, and I wouldn't mind giving him up to him so that I can have some other things that my pseudochromis will eat. I've tried making a food trap out of a 2 liter coke bottle (you know the...

I have two questions for you all: 1) Just a question for those that do not have a sump. I used the prefilter box for my Remora and I really don't like it. I REALLY have to tweak it to get any good use out of it. From my understanding, it's supposed to skim off any excess nutrients and crap...

I have aiptasia in my tank and they're beginning to become a big nuisance. I've shot them all with Joe's Juice, but they've come back again (the same exact ones). I've shot them with boiling water in a Turkey baster, but this isn't working either. Any suggestions?

Kind of silly question, but do you know where each fish in your tank sleeps at night? The reason I ask is because I have a pseudochromis that appears to sleep in a different part of the tank every night, when all along I thought fish like to pick a spot and keep it the same every night. I...

Not sure what this is growing on my LR, but it seems to be taking over the 15lb piece of rock. I'm worried that it may spread to the other rocks in the tank. What's your take on it? Should I: 1) Take it out of the tank into your QT tank and scrub it all off with a metal bristle brush or 2)...

Could someone tell me how you increase your Kudos? Thanks :lol:
