I am looking to build a stand for a 210 gallon reef. Based on its measurements, I've found that a pair of kitchen cabinets are the exact measurements of the tank and are over $200 less than an actual aquarium stand. Do you all think strength would be an issue?

So I recently added a young Dogface Puffer. It's only about 3" in length right now. I know they are considered to be not reef safe. Im not worried about my snails or hermits but my concern is, I have a few random Zoa's that have made it into my tank from live rock. I'm not worried about losing...

Can anyone ID this coral? I remember its a green metallic _________.... just can't remember what it is.

Is there any way to dip corals without killing the inhabitants that live within? I understand the purpose of dipping them is to kill unwanted pests but sometimes there are things you might have wanted to keep. Any ideas?

I have a white "sponge" looking growth that's growing around and in between my Zoa's. Its kinda like cotton. I've tried to get pictures but they aren't coming out clear enough to see it. I'm sure someone on here knows what I am talking about. Is it bad? Will it stop the spread of the heads...

I am considering taking the plunge into the LED world. I am currently running MH over my 210. It seems there is very little penetration to the depths of this tank. Not to mention, my corals aren't growing nearly as well as I'd expect. My real reason for posting this, is because I was curious if...

As the title states, I am trying to figure out a way to collect pods. I have so many in my sump (in my macro) and I'd like to know a way to transfer as many as possible to my DT. I know some travel through the return pump but I'd like to transfer more. I know there's a trick to the trade if...

Is this what's known as a fireworm? Is it safe? This thing in my opinion is huge. Probably 3-4 inches. I have fish that are smaller than that. Lol.

Can anyone give me a name for these? I understand these are not the best pictures.... BTW, it is the same coral, just zoomed in more on the second.

My hippo has been doing this a lot lately. Curious if anyone knows why. What I'm talking about is the black turning yellow and at times as yellow as its tail. I know its not a health issue, just don't know why else.

ok, so here it goes. as the title states, I am looking for a new addition (or more) to my current tank mates. Currently I have: 2 engineer gobys 1 bluespot goby 1 green mandarin 2 maroon clowns 1 yellow tang 1 blue hippo tang 1 sailfin tang 1 foxface 1 bicolor angel 1 coral beauty angel 1...

Well, this is a picture of my toadstool. It really is a horrible cell phone picture but I'm not trying to capture its glory. My question is, its had its polyps retracted like this for about a week. It hasn't opened them up at all. And actually, the surface of it seems to appear shiny. I have...

So in purchased a green star polyp frag yesterday. In the LFS it was open and beautiful. Since its been home it hasn't opened once. Its been over 24 hours and nothing. Should I worry or should I just stop being anxious?

Ok, first off before I list my stock, I have a 210 gallon with a 45 gallon sump (for water volume) ok, so my stock list is: 1 blue tang 1 yellow tang 1 sail fin tang 1 fox face ... and for the smaller fish.... 1 lubocks (so?) Fairy wrasse 1 blue damsel 2 maroon clowns 1 blue spot watchman goby 2...

Just as the title says, I am looking for pulsing xenia. I know that as fast as it grows, someone here has one that they are willing to frag or they have frags already. I would need to have it shipped to 81647. Thank you.

Just a FTS at night while the lights are going dim.

I have been interested in getting a Volitan Lionfish. I am curious about its aggression and eating habits. I know it is a carnivore but are they aggressive enough to go after some other fish I have in my tank? If it is likely, would there be any other lions you'd recommend? For the record, I...

I'm trying to figure out what this sponge looking growth is surrounding my ZOA's. Is it bad? Good? Or just plain harmless?

I've recently noticed some things on my glass. They appear to be eggs. I'm guessing they are snail eggs. Can anyone confirm that for me? If that is the case, what is the likely hood of them actually hatching?

Just as the title states, I'm thinking about going to LED's. Currently I have a 72" MH fixture that houses 3 250w bulbs and a 48" t5 housing holding 4 actinics. I'm thinking about the taotronics. Of course, the dimmable version. My first question is, how many units will I need? My tank is a 210...

I have this Kenya tree that is attached to a rock with button polyps covering it. It seems as the button polyps are growing and covering the rock more and more, the Kenya tree is less happy. Is it possible that the polyps are irritating the Kenya tree? Here is a pic so you can see what I am...

I picked up a bta a few days ago. As it was really inexpensive (free), it appears to be bleached. It is pure white! I mean bright white. Is there any possibility of it surviving? It acts as if it is doing well but I don't know if it will get its color back or if it ever had any color to start...

I'm looking to set up a new reef. Something small but not so small that I can't put any fish in. I'm looking for thoughts and ideas as to what types and brands of nano's you'd all recommend. I am currently running a 210 with a 55 gal sump. If need be (for simplicity sake) I can plumb this new...

I've noticed a mass quantity of pineapple sponges sprouting up all over my tank. I know people say its a sign of good water quality and such, but are they something that will stick around in the tank for a while or are they something that will come and go?

I picked up 2 goby's today and they had them labeled as yellow head's. Obviously that's not what they are but it still doesn't help me to id them. Any help would be great!
