I am going to be setting up a 10 gallon in my apt in about week and I'm trying to decide what substrate to use. I love Anubias sp. and I'm going to be taking a couple of cuttings from my 54 gallon and put them into the new 10. I have Anubias nana and I believe barteri. I will probably also pick...

Hi guys, I want to unload some of my rics so I can get some money to start my frag tank. All of the prices are negotiable, just pm me and we can work something out. I accept PayPal. We can work out a discount if you buy multiple specimens. All sizes are pretty acurrate guesses, I can pick...

Hey guys I need some help to decide. I am going to set up a new 15 gallon or 20H in the next couple months, not anytime soon but not far away, so I'm thinking about which lighting would be best for ricordea (because ricordea are awesome). I'm looking at retros so I can make the canopy. I didn't...

Hey guys I finallygot a camera! Well I didn't get a camera but I got a new phone, the pics are a little blurry but they seem to be pretty good considering it's a phone. What is this coral? It was one of the very first I bought about 15 months ago when I set up my tank. It was sold to me as a...

Well I was looking on eBay for some cheap 24'' fixtures and I came by this one. It's a 4x24 watt t5 from the looks of it in a similar setup like Nova's but a lot cheaper and w/o lunar lights. I'm wondering if anyone has these or has seen any reviews of these. I can't tell the brand so I don't...

I bought a bleached lta a couple weeks ago. It is white but I can start to see a yellowish green tint to it. The base is completely white also (I thought it was suppose to be red?) . The tentacles are extremely sticky and the mouth is tightly closed, some of the tentacles are also in their...

I was cleaning the $2 glass thermometer from my 20 gallon reef since it was covered in coraline and I've been having problems with the suction cup sticking to the glass so after I cleaned it I pressed the suction cup on the glass apparently too hard. I crushed the entire top of the thermometer...

Well, I got a dying bubble coral for free from my lfs about three weeks ago. The owner was going to throw it away but I was right there so he offered it to me. The tissue all around the edges has receded at least .5 inches from the edges (that's how it was when I got it). And it hasn't gotten...

I was wondering if anyone has one or has before. I use to have a regular decorator crab (sponge crab) that would take zoos and put them on it's back to camoflauge itself, it died of old age I guess it was pretty big. But these spider decorators look completely different but do the same thing...

I was at my lfs today (like I am pretty much everyday of the week lol) and I pointed out some stuff to the guys there, like I saw a frogspawn that fell down into an area between some rocks were you couldnt really get to it but they got it out, a little snowflake moray went over the gravity...

Well about an hour ago I was looking at my 10 gallon tank then I decided to go look at my 20 gallon, so I took my flashlight over there (the lights were off) and started looking around. I looked underneath a big rock and saw the unknown crab again. It looks like a mithrax crab. It's black and...

I'm just interested in this and I was wondering were I can learn about how to do this. TIA.

I live in South Carolina and it's been pretty warm the last couple of days. My sw tanks are at around 84 degrees, for some reason my 54 gallon freshwater is 81 degrees.... Were can I get some cheap fans to put over the tanks to cooldown the water? Preferably something that looks ok there. And...

It's been six months so time to get some replacement bulbs. I have a 130 watt ( 2x65watt bulbs) Coralife fixture. I am wondering if it would be better to get Current replacements- 1 SunPaq Dual Daylight 10,000k/Actinic 460nm 1 Sunpaq Dual Actinic 420/460nm Or should I get Coralife...

I was thinking about doing 50/50 and actinic over my 20 gallon since its been almost 6 months and I need new bulbs(i have the 130 watt fixture ). How would that look? I do have corals. Right now I have 10,000k and actinic.

I've been looking at MH lights for my next tank that I plan on getting and I was browsing hellolights.com looking to see what they have, how much it costs. I was wondering for something like this you have to buy the ballast, the bulb, the socket, grounded power cord, and quick disconnect. And...

I thought I'd share this with you guys since I've never heard of it or seen it before. A little background- I've had the two ocellaris clowns for about 10 months now and they have been hosting a bta for around 9 months. I just went to my tank about ten minutes ago and the lights where off of...

I have modified my filter slightly to add lr to it. I just put a couple screens in it to enclose the media section of the filter. I used silicone to seal the screens on the filter. On the silicone tube it says it cures in 5 minutes, fully bonds in 24hrs, and has water proof seal in 48 hrs. It...

Hard to remember all of them. When do replace- VHO HO NO PC MH

I just got two half-inch tank-raised tomato clowns yesterday for my 10 gallon nano reef and about 30 minutes ago one of the clowns is hosting one of my huge mushrooms! But the other one is not. Will he follow with the other and host it together? Or could they stay separate?

These are soooo cool. Too bad they are impossible to keep. I don't understand why they are sold, or why people buy them- o because they don't research what they are buying... :?

Hey I was wondering if I should use carbon at all for my nanos. I've been looking at posts and seeing that people take the carbon out and any sponges as they can produce nitrates? For my 10g I have two Whisper 10-20 hob filters one with carbon in it and one with phosguard in it and they both...

I guess I'm being stupid but what does max head mean with regards to return pumps? Like what does a pump rated at 500gph with a 10ft max head mean?

Hey I just picked up a $1 pack of super glue to use to attach some pieces star polyps to some rocks. 1. What kind of super glue can you use? I noticed in some posts people say super glue "gel." I got super glue "liquid." Should I not use what I have? 1. Can you use this on button polyps? Thanks.

Hey guys- I just got a new 55 gallon tank for Christmas. I am going to combine m 20 gallon, 10 gallon, and 5 gallon planted tanks into that one 55. All of the plants are relatively low light- Anubias, swords, java fern, and crypts. I would need to aim at around 3-4 wpg right? So does a fixture...
