So I bought my first 2 pieces of coral for my 125 this weekend. I bought coralRX and followed instructions. Now the coralRX did get everything off the coral, but didnt kill anything. I found a bristleworm, some kind of star, a few white bugs, and a big brown one. Nothing was dead, but they did...

I have 2 overflows on the back wall. one overflow goes straight down to the protein skimmer. the other one is split with a T. one side goes to the refugium, the other is sent over to the protein skimmer. I attached a pic of one of my drain pipes. It goes a little uphill before the last...

My ph is 7.8 and I am looking into a easy way to keep it around 8.2-8.4. How can I go about raising it and keeping it at a higher point? I don't have any corals at this point, but that will change very soon. Would kalkwasser be the best way as of now?

I am real close to filling up my 125 long tank. The last thing I need is the lighting, and everything will be here Friday. My only concern is if I bought enough fixtures. Right now I planned on mounting 3 parallel with the tank. The problem comes in where my canopy is real short (I only have...

I am setting up a 125 with a 40g sump. I am looking to buy a protein skimmer now and I'm stuck between two reef octopus models. I'm looking at the diablo xs 160 or the 225. I'm not sure which one to buy so I'm looking for some help. I've read about people over skimming, but I don't want to...

I'm setting up a 125g reef tank and I'm looking to buy the lights this weekend. AI has the Sol, Vega, and now the Hydra. Which fixture would you guys recommend? Does anyone know any other good LED fixtures? I should mention I'm going to be using a Apex controller so it needs to be compatible...

So maybe you saw my last post, maybe not, but I had a high ammonia spike in a QT tank. I quickly acclimated the 6 line wrasse and got him in the display. He is eating, swimming, and getting along with everyone fine, but he has a few cosmetic problems. As of right now his tail looks a little...

So I've had this sponge sitting in my biocube (3rd chamber) for a good 6 months. I bought a 6 line wrasse on Monday and put the sponge in the QT filter (QT is only 5.5 g). I noticed today that the wrasse hasn't eaten his food from the night before (weird because he's been eating like crazy)...

I got my first 6 line last night and I noticed some red spots on his mouth this morning. He is eating and swimming fine, but I'm not sure if they are supposed to be there or not. Is this something I should be concerned about? He is in QT but I hustled wanted to know if this is normal or not.

I've been battling a GHA outbreak, and I think I'm winning. With the weekly water changes I have been stirring up the sand real well to get all the crap out. When I'm done with the water change and everything settles I get this light grey dusting over the sand. over the next few days it will...

So I've been battling a small GHA outbreak for a few weeks now and I think I have it some what under control. I've been scraping the glass, do a water change and making sure I get it out of the tank. I'm starting to see tiny tiny green dots ALL over the glass now. Is this how the hair algae...

I'm just wondering what these things are, they've been popping up all over lately. I'm not worried about them at all, just curious. The first pic has a little tube with red/orange things coming out of it. If also like to know what those dark reddish purple spots are all over the rock. I...

So I've had these 2 clown fish for about 9 months now. One clearly started growing faster soon after I got them, and now you can tell them apart instantly. The bigger one harasses the crap out of the little one some times. To the point where the small one has 2 chunks of his dorsal fin...

So I'm going from a 29 biocube to a 125. I have 2 clowns and a royal gramma as of right now. I'm just starting to think about a stock list and my girl mentioned a yellow tang and a powder blue tang. If I got them both small (about an inch and a half) and put them in together, you think it's...

So I've been running a 29g biocube for about 8 months and I was looking to put an other fish in...well, I realized I wanted some bigger fish so the only logical thing to do is upgrade right? I think I'm gonna pick up the aqueon 125g pre drilled double overflow (on the back wall). What size...

I just upgraded to a full rodi system so I'm looking to get rid of this RO unit. It's used, the last tds reading I think was 17, the filters probably need to be changed. I'm asking for 75 or best offer. I would like this to be a local pick up, but if I can't find some one locally, the buyer...

I thought I was gonna use 40 lbs in my biocube but I wound up using 20. I still have this extra bag if anyone is interested. I'm asking for 20 bucks, pick-up only in sayville, ny. Msg me if you're interested.

So this tank has been up for 8 months now and I have 2 clowns, a royal gramma and a fire shrimp in there. The tank has been doing awesome so I think it's time to add a new fish. I would like to add a 6 line wrasse in as the last fish, but before that I was thinking a small goby. I know it's...

I bought the InTank Media basket and fuge, along with some purigen, chemipure, some filter floss and a small ball of cheato. I set everything up and let the display lights turn off and the 10w submersible light turn on (for the fuge). Before I went to bed I decided to check to see if...

I'm just wondering what CUC I should be looking to get for a 29g biocube. If I go to reefcleaners.com they have a CUC pack with hermits for a 29g tank. Should I be looking to get something like this, or smaller? It seems like a lot to me, but I just don't know. Does this sound alright?: 26...

I started a 29 biocube when I moved into my new apartment about a week ago. I had a hermit crab, fire shrimp, and 2 nassi snails in a 6g so I put em in the 29. I put about 9 pounds of LR in to get started with a bag of LS (it's a 1.5in deep bed. I used live seawater to help the cycle along...

Anyone have any large Vallisneria Spiralis theyre willing to part with? Obviously I'm willing to pay, Im just looking for some big ones.

I am noticing some abnormal behavior with a male and female apisto lately. Along with the behavior one of the females has a chunk missing from her (picture below). The female has turned yellow and has red tips on her fins (I've seen this once before), and the male is chasing her around. Do...
