The other day I put my hand in my 240 chiclid tank and felt a bit of a shock, I went through each piece of equipment and couldn't feel the shock after I unplugged everything. So I plugged everything back in and all was well. Tonight I felt the same shock, unplugged everything and then plugged...

Okay the tank is a tall cube 18x18x19 My plan for for filtration is aqua clear 110 ( I have a question about this in a bit) I'm thinking for lighting the max spect nano. I would take recommendations of other lights though since I haven't completely decided yet. Tank is wet as of now, but...

As im sitting here writing this, my yellow tang is sitting on the floor of my 100 gallon reef tank looking like he is going to die. This is exactly the same thing that happened to my naso tang. Yesterday my yellow was looking great, eating noti like a champ. Today. He is this, sad looking...

A couple of weeks ago i got a huge rock of zoas, and i noticed these shells on the side and assumed it was part of the lr, well they moved around, and only stayed on this zoa rock. After some observation, I'm noticing a few polys looking scrappy I googled zoa eating snails, and i took them...

I just got these zoas home and there this weird worm on the frag plug, its not the feather duster but the red thing.

So i bought this brain coral two weeks ago along with a plate coral, Its been looking good until the last few days it started looking like this. Ive been trying to feed it frozen krill but everytime i put it close to the mouth it pushes it off. Will test params tonight.

So today i bought a feather duster at petco, it was on sale and looked healthy. Got it home, acclimated it, and put it in the tank. The feathers came out, looked great for a while. Then my cleaner shrimp came over to inspect the newbies, and was paying a rather large amount of attention to my...

Okay so today i went to petco and scored a ricorda rock, it was on sale for 40 percent off and it was characterized under "misc mushrooms" But after i got home i acclimated it and when i went to put it in my tank the smell was terrible. I was curious but i put it in the tank. And after...

Ive been looking for lighting for the last few weeks as ive been building my tank. First i was looking at taotronics because they're cheaper, but ive found something that would cost about the same for the tank. Ive found two options. I

My frogspawn is either sick or splitting. I cant really tell which but i thought it looked like it was splitting a few days ago. And this is my first lps that looks like it wants o spilt so, ill leave it to the experts.

I got a little peppermint shrimp today and my resident cleaner shrimp seems to be attacking him, the peppermint has been hiding and the cleaner is a bit bigger than the new peppermint, do I need to remove the peppermint? Or is this just something short?

What was your first fish? And how did you get into fish keeping? My first freshwater fish was a syno granulouys. I'm sure I spelt that wrong but it's a cat fish from lake Tanganyika. My first saltwater fish was a yellow watchman. Great little fish. I got into fish keeping because I was...

So today I got my new light set up. It's a par38 with 4 white, 4 blue, and 4 ultra blue LEDs. I really like the look, the shimmer is cool. So while I did this I reaquascaped. I've been wanting to for a while and took this as my chance. All the corals are mad but it looks better. Only...

What reef salt do you prefer? I'm looking between reef crystals and Kent's reef Salt mix, what's the difference?

I want stronger lighting for my mini reef, I have a toms aquarium perch light and it hasn't done much for growth, I've read that a lot of members have ordered the par38 bulbs and used them in a normal fixture?

Alright, I've been planning this tank for a few months now and in finally getting to the point where I can fund it and in ready to go. I have a few questions and things that I'm not sure about so I will ask all that here as a go along. First major one is what overflow box and return pump to go...

So I was at my lfs today and I was talking to the guy about live rock and he said that it would take me 12 weeks to cycle a tank with dry rock seeded with live rock. I honestly think he's just trying to get me to buy more live rock from his shop....

I'm gonna use this for a science project and it probably wouldn't hurt to know exactly what it was, something I found on the beach, so I didn't kill this coral in my tank....

Okay so I have a large sump, looks like its probably for about a 200 gallon.(pic) And it looks like I'm ethier going to have to get two over flow boxes or one larger one. I like the CPR over flow boxes, but it would be cheaper to get the larger one than two smaller ones. The smallest large...

In planning a 100 gallon reef, and that requires 100 pounds of live Rock. So what websites have you ordered from and what have you received? I simply can't afford to buy it all from my lfs since that's around 6 a pound. I was thinking about some from live aquaria, opinions? Please share good...

Bought a little blue jaw fish today from my lfs, is there anything special I need to know? It said on the app I have on my iPod that it was reef safe, says small, and was easy. BIG QUESTION:why are they called Jawfish? :)

I can't tell if he's just looking for food or... Can anyone tell me if it's okay? (I hope you can tell from the pic)

Okay, I've been working on this plan for a while, what would be the best form of filtration for a 100 gallon reef? I know sumps are the preferred filtration for reefs, but I've never really used one, what should I know about them? Any info and recommendations are completely welcomed.

Bought these on a zoa rock, and they've moved themselves up there. Are they nems? I'm just curious about them.
