There's nothing wrong with being frugal! I suppose in this forum we care deeply about the care of marine life and just want to warn you that keeping marine life is not an inexpensive prospect. Many people think that they can spend a few hundred dollars and be done with it - but there are...

My coral banded shrimp molted too last night! It was my first time seeing a shrip molt - didn't know they did that!

Many people feel that fish tanks involve expendable creatures; however, fish, coral and sw plants are creatures that deserve the same respect, care and attention as any other living pet. Do yourself a favor (and your fish), do not buy fish that you can not afford to properly take care of. I...

CORRECTION: I saw the worm again tonight and I saw it open its mouth and there was a circle of "bristles" or tiny antennae - like little spokes around its mouth!

My husband got me into it. It has been 15 years since he had a s/w tank and 15 yrs ago his was tiny and fish only. I had goldfish as a little girl (in a tank not a bowl). Now we have a 55 gal reef tank and are addicted to getting it perfect. We will one day have a super reef tank, but for...

Thank you! PS - I just discovered a slug tonight :)

could be a sea cucumber in the live rock

Macatua, Thank you for clarifying - I know I am totally new to this board - but it is nice to know you were not attacking me. I had a hard time setting up my tank - and I got all kinds of advice on what and what not to do. There is so much conflicting advice out there. I think anyone setting...

Macatua, Now you ARE mudslinging and I ask what your problem is. I clearly stated that my advice could be incorrect as it was based upon my personal experience! Did you only read HALF of what I wrote! As far as a skimmer goes, I do know that many experts mandate that you have one. My...

I'm not trying to scare anyone off, but it is important to be realistic. Before you start spending, you want to have an idea of what you want your tank to end up being (reef tank or fish tank....big or small bio load). If you want a very basic small bio load fish tank that has a layer of...

stay away from UNDULATED TRIGGERS!!!!

WOW!!!! That is amazingly beautiful!!! Wonderful!!! I am in awe!!!

It can't be done for less unless you want to do it right. We started our 55 gal tank 8 months ago and learned our lesson! We started with $1000.00 tank and stand, canister pump, no skimmer, live sand, a few fish... It was a learning process and I wish I had known about this site earlier...a...

I have an image pending approval in my photogallery edited by reefrunner69 to add the image

This white tube grew quick over a period of a couple of weeks, now there are a few other white tube babies in other sections of the tank. It is a white translucent tube about 2/3 inch tall with a tiny clear fan sticking out of the top of it. What is this thing??? Thank you! :D

Hi, My husband had a saltwater fish tank when he was little -strictly fish. After years of wishing he had a saltwater tank again, we went out and got a 55 gallon one. It's been up for 8 months now - doing great. Our tank: reef with several live rocks, 4 corals are doing great...
