If someone wouldn't mind, could they please have a look at this system and tell me if there is any reason why this one wouldn't work? It seems like it will do the trick and has a good price tag. I have also ordered from this company in the past and they have been great. Reverse Osmosis [4...

Hi! Been a while since I've been on here due to a move which ultimately left me no choice but to break down my tank and give my fish etc to a friend. Not such a bad thing though as my tank was not ideal for saltwater so I get to start all over again and do it right! An absolute necessity...

I wasnt testing for it. I used it becuase my corals wheren't growing. Calcium was fine. Magnesium was fine (I have test kits for both) and everyone tells me the LED lights I have are good aswell. But they just wheren't growing any. So, I thought adding some stromtium couldnt hurt. I'm still...

I bought some seachem strontium supplement from mf LFS today after over a year of my LPS corals not growing/expanding their skeletel base. I thought it couldnt hurt to try. The corals have been rather happy this past few months opening up wonderfully under the new LED lighting I got. After...

The 9th is not a flatworm. It is a Chiton. Im guessing it only shows itself at night? I have roughly 3 of them and they make great cleaners for your rock. Do not remove it.

yeah its not a nudibranch, its a chestnut cowrie. eats algae and lots of it. Bit of a score knowing I can get these from the rocks at my local beach..

It's in a shell though. I didn't know nudibranches came in shells.

Is this slug/snail thing safe for my reef tank??

Yeah it's def not coralline. I'm Familiar with that stuff. I'm just not goin to go back there. If they can't give a stuff about their tanks being infected with this I'm sure they dont care about the rest of what they're selling. Thanks guys.

This dark purple algae is all over one of my LFS's live rock tank. It's not good is it? Am I safe to buy fish from them??

Hi again, I have recently upgraded my lights to a single unit 240W Led system. It puts out next to no heat and has a 3 fan heatsink on top of that. My old lights put out much more heat than these do. My old lights where part of the stock standard hood that the tank came with and with the...

Thanks pete, I will do exactly that :)

I just bought a bag on Coralife salt from one of my LFS and the salt was hard as a rock. When I picked the bag up it felt like a bag of solid cement. He said if I just break it would be ok once it was smashed up again. Is this the case? Thankyou

yeah its a sun coral :) I knew they didnt need the light but I read it didnt really affect them. Is this not the case? It's just a convenient spot to feed him is all. He hide dayuring the day and comes out just after the white light goes out. I usually feed him then and he blooms all night...

Thankyou very much for the replies. So I take it all is well with the neon colors? I will deffinitley keep the power down for a few weeks. I guess I will just keep a close eye on the algae issue. Thankyou again.

Ok Guys, So I took your advice and upgrated my 39 Gallon/ 2foot wide tank with an LED setup. This replaced the stock standard hood and so far it looks great. Both the blue and white leds have a dimmer dial and on the lowest setting it is already WAY brighter than its predecessors. A...

interesting thing. Looks jet black. I would wait to get a another oppinion on it before nuking it. Its shape deffinitely resembles aptasia, but the color? I wouldn't know. Do what I do and wait for MR X to have his say :)

Google amphipod. I see one or two of them from time to time in my salwater tank aswell. I am always quite amazed at how the move around the tank. It's like they just dont belong there.

I have the exact same thing in my tank at the moment. I posted a thread a few weeks back with no solid ID found. Does it look like this?

Hi, Ive done a bit of looking around and I can get this brand from within Australia where I live. Can someone have a quick look at the specs and let me know if its suitable? Thankyou Usage: Marine/Reef Aquariums LED Count: 90 LEDs White LED: 12,000 - 14,000k Blue LED: 450 Nm Wattage : 120 W...

its just under 24 inches. Thanks for the help. I'm gonna try get one ordered tomorrow.

Ok cool. would I only need one of those with a 39 Gallon Tank?

yeah. I just can't seem to find a 22' light housing that fits 4 or even 6 t5 bulbs. Lighting is by far the most difficult aspect of this hobby (IMO) Anyone got any reccomendations?

Hi. I have a 39 Gallon tank that I bought with a stock standard hood with lights. I'm thinking of doing away with this hood and replacing with a better lighting unit. Will 2x25W T5HO be enough to keep a frogspawn and hammer coral happy? These two corals are the only corals that arent doing...
