The LFS that I frequent (The Reef Shoppe, Rochester NY) was robbed Wednesday night. The soulless, degenerate life forms stole $15,000 in corals, $5,000 in equipment, 2 Lionfish, and some cash. The "people" had to be in the hobby as they stole the best and priciest livestock and the equipment to...

I have a Powder Blue Tang that has "puffiness" along one of its lateral lines. Chemistry is spot on, housed in a 180g FO tank and fed pellet, Nori, and a variety of frozen. Has anyone seen this before?

I have a 4" Rainbow Wrasse that decided he prefers to be in my overflow. I have. 180g reef ready FO tank. Fed him to make sure he was ok. Any ideas on how to get him back in the main tank? Any chance he will find his own way back? Thanks in advance.

I have a Tassle Filefish that I've had for 8 months. It's abdomen is swollen and swimming like he is drunk. I looked around online and it seems that it may have something wrong with its swim bladder. Has anyone had this issue? If so, is it something that is treatable, runs its course, or is...

My name is Sean. I live in upstate NY. I was into salt water aquariums through most of the 90's but got out of it in 1999 as I started to move around quite a bit. I just started up a 180g FO tank last June. I am realizing that a lot in the hobby changed in the 12 years was out of it. I hope to...

I was into the hobby for about 6 years and then got out for about 12 years while I moved around in the military. I have been back into it for about a year. I am amazed at how equipment has changed and evolved since I've been away. I have been hearing about refugiums from various sources. Are...

I've been reading a lot about UV lately. Seems to be many claims that it helps keep the water clearer. I just got back into SW last June after stepping away for about 12 years (moved a lot in the military). I had one back then and it just seemed like an expensive flashlight. I know it is...

I am hoping to set up a reef system (most likely 50-55 gallon range) in the near future. I have seen LED lights being sold and am interested because the tank will be in my bedroom. I really don't want the extra heat in the room. Does anyone have any experience with them? If so, are they a...

I currently have a 180 gallon, fish only, aquarium. I have a small dog face puffer and a blue spot Toby puffer (among other fish). The two puffers pretty much ignore each other. I would like to add a Valentini puffer to the mix. Does anyone have any experiences to share with a multi-puffer...
