Seriously. Today was the worst. After determining their prices were DOUBLE petco, Amazon, or whomever, I decided to give them one last try. They had a green dragonet that was $35. Facing liveaquaria.com's shipping, I decided to buy the little guy. He was hiding behind some rocks and corals...

So I took the plunge and bought a Coralife T5 Quad Light for my tank (a 55g hex). I have a dsb, so its only 24" from water to sand bed, and don't plan on getting any sps corals. But my question is: how in the world do I set the timers for this light??? It comes with 2 10,000K daylight, 2...

I don't know what to do. I bought two clownfish (Ocellaris) a few months ago, and for some reason one of them died. Never figured out what happened to him. I had a thread here all about it. A few weeks later I bought another, but the first clownfish began acting very agressive to him/her and...

I've been struggling with low pH (7.8) since I started the tank. So I did the experiment of running an airstone in tank water outside. It registered at 8.4ish. I take that to mean I have good buffering (no test for that yet). Then I ran the stone for about an hour inside on different water and...

1. How long have you had the fish? Do you know if it was wild caught, or tank raised? I've had him since February. Probably tank-bred, but not sure. 2. How long has the fish been in the tank? What are the tank mates? Any aggression? Since Feb. Tank mates are one other clown and two spotted...

Weirdest thing happened. I had something growing on a rock--what I assumed was a sponge forming. It looked like dirty cotton and grew a little each day, slowing forming a rounded shape, ball-like on the underside of a rock. This evening I went to look at it and it is completely gone! Vanished...

This came on an order from ipsf. It was advertised as an anthelia polyp, but it looks like I have there different things on this. Should I separate them, amd what are they? Thanks!

I decided to start a thread for my new tank. Here's the background. I always wanted to get into a sw tank, and caught a great deal on a 55g Hex. Not my first choice, but it was too good to pass up. I refinished the base and started getting equipment. I'm on a strict (and small) budget, so some...

Hello all, first real post not including my introduction post. I am setting up a 55g Hex FOWLR right now (though open to adding some sponges or low-maintenance corals later on). So far I've got the water and some live sand, and plan on adding some base and live rock in a few weeks. I've got an...

Hello all, Been browsing here for a couple of weeks and learned so much, so I thought I would join and get more involved. I have a freshwater 10g that I established over two years ago. Not stocked much now, just a few tiger barbs and a pleco (sm), and a plant or two. I am really getting into...
