I just moved an established (up 1.5 yr) 75 into a 120. Moved filter, media, substrate (less than 1" thick), water. Added more substrate. About a month later, I went down one morning to find everything dead. No signs of stress, disease or trama. They have been eating. There was a slippery dick...

While looking at my reef tank, I noticed my leather coral had fallen off (again) and into a carpet anenome. Don't know how long it had been there, but looks like long enough for it to sting and almost kill the leather coral. After an emergency water change, I threw out the dead base of the...

Just put a 4" SD Wrasse in my 120. I haven't found much info on these, other than like most wrasses they like to burrow. How well will they do with other wrasses, especially a Red Coris Wrasse about the same size? Right now, its him & a lion fish in the tank. Also, who came up with the name? My...

I have an older Lifeguard Quiet One that has been a good pump over the years, but is starting to get noisy & should probably be replaced. A LFS has a Quiet One for about $125. I'm seriously considering getting it, given how reliable the last 2 I've had have been. I'm also open to suggestion...

Inspired by Boxster's 180 in wall construction (looks great by the way), here are some photos of the 120 we just roughed in in our basement. This is a fish only salt tank (moved our 75 into bigger quarters.) The stand is primarily built from doubled up 2x4's with a treated 2x4 base anchored to...

I'm setting up a 120 fish only tank. I'm building a wet dry (have an extra tank, overflow & lots of plexiglass. Looking on the high side, figuring a heavy load, how much room should allow for bioballs? I don't have any formulas, but I'm guessing around 4-5 gallons (looking at other sumps).

I will soon be starting a new fish-only from the ground up. All new equipment, etc. I'm wanting some ideas on biological filtration. I've used wet/dry filters & fluidized bed (sand) filters in the past, with better luck on the sand filters. Yeah, I know, lots of people hate them and I've heard...

Over the next few months, we are going to be setting up a new tank, 125-150 gal community. Its been several years since I've really been in the hobby & I know things change. I am looking for advice on a good biological filter. I've never been a big fan of wet/dry filters. My current community...

What's up with this fish? My passer angel has ulcerations on his side, the largest is a little deep. He just had a third open up. It looked like a little black spot on his side. I need some ideas on treatment. This is in my commuity tank (no inverts), so the field is open. Any ideas? He is still...
