I noticed that I haven't seen my royal gramma basslet in the last few days. When I fed the fish today i made sure to look for him. He came out of hiding and immediatly started swimming around and eating. But when he turned the other way I noticed something was wrong with his eye. It looked like...

I want to get a good jump start on my pod population. i recently set up my 220 mixed reef with 250-300lbs lr and 160lbs live sand (i also have some chaeto and lr in my sump). i want to get a good start on my pod population because i want to add a mandarin in a few months. i was going to place...

As some of you know i set up my 220 about a week ago. from my 125 came a 4.5-5" yellow tang, 3-3.5in blue hippo, some pjs, royal gramma, firefish, and a few other small guys. i was rearranging the rockwork the other day and realized i've always wanted a blonde naso so if i were to add one now...

Hey, I haven't posted in a while because I've been very busy with my 220 build. it's been consuming my life. lol. anyway, here's an update on the build. started with the purchase. i bought everything from a local reefer who was taking down his tank. some quick specs: Oceanic 220 glass tank...

On sunday I plan to do the big switch. Moving everything from the 125 to the new 220. I have some coral and livestock so I'm trying to make the transition as smooth as possible and I'm trying to avoid any major cycles. I have a plan for pretty much everything but I am unsure of what to do with...

first, i wasn't 100% sure which forum to put this in so mods please feel free to move it if it needs to be moved. I just bought a 220 from a friend of mine. he has had it for two years and has about 100-150lbs live rock & 200lbs live sand. I'm going to pick everything up on sunday. but the...

Here's a quick video I made last night of what the tank looks like now. i've been in the hobby for a few weeks now and I think i'm officially addicted. current residents Yellow Tang, Blue Hippo Tang, Firefish, Six Line Wrasse, 2 Clowns, Royal Gramma Basslet, 3 Spotted Cardinals, Fire Shrimp...

I'm trying to help out a friend of mine who lost his job by buying some live rock from him (out of his 220g reef tank). I bought a couple pieces and I was going to buy some more but last night i saw a little bit of bubble algae on one, so i scraped it off and put it in my tank. I was going to...

I currently have a 125g with 100lbs of live rock and 100lbs of live sand. I bought the tank used and the people were running bioballs in a wet/dry (and protein skimmer). I set up the tank with the fish it came with (2 damsels and a clown). now it's been a few weeks and i've done a few water...

well i've only been here a few days and it feels like i've made a million threads. lol. just so many questions...what have i gotten myself into? as i said in the million other posts, I purchased a 125g with wet/dry pump, protein skimmer, chiller, heater, temp controller, deionizer, etc. it...

title pretty much says it all. most of the details of the tank are in my new member introduction post. i know the pics aren't great, the lighting is bad, i used my old camera so the quality is bad. oh well. i'll take better pictures when i get some fish in there. but for now.... tank shot...

So as some of you may know i recently purchased an aquarium and about 80-100lbs of live rock. the other night i walked downstairs to get a glass of water and decided to turn on my dining room light and check out the tank. i was looking closely and noticed a tentacle or worm coming out of a hole...

Will a medium size dwarf lionfish or fu man chu lion eat 1 1/2" fish? what about full grown dwarf? also, i'm sure any emerald crabs would be gone but would my hermit crabs be safe? and which do people usually prefer, dwarf or fu man chu? now for the off topic clownfish question. i...

Hey guys, I've already made a couple posts but I figured I'd formally introduce myself. I've wanted a saltwater aquarium for years and just never got around to it and a couple weeks ago I just randomly decided to get one. I purchased a 125g with wet/dry pump, protein skimmer, chiller, heater...

I've always wanted an eel and I've been doing quite a bit of research on them and it seems a snowflake is the best way to go for my situation. (i plan on keeping the tank somewhat peaceful) the question i have is if i get a small one and keep him well fed do you think he'd leave clownfish and...

I recently purchased my first aquarium (used) and it came with just about everything i need including a heater and chiller and a custom sealife electronic temp controller that I can plug into the heater or chiller. when i first set up the tank i plugged in the temp controller, put the probe...

*problem solved* Hey guys, I just purchased my first aquarium so I decided to become a member and I plan on being one for a long time. I've been doing quite a bit of research for the last few months about running aquariums, etc so I'm going to try and not bother everyone with too many beginner...
