I posted some of these a year ago. Some people can see em, some people can't but these turned out real nice from our reefs so I thought I'd post em here. Here is a serious brain teaser for you. I've created a bunch of 3D stereo images of our reefs which you can see in 3D by crossing your eyes...

I'm wondering if there is any point in keep old crusty dried up coraline algae from a used setup. I'm going to be upgrading to a 120G and it has TONS of old crusty dried up coraline on the glass. I want to scrap it off to clean things up but can the old stuff help to seed a tank with...

Thought I'd post a picture of how my tank is coming along. I got a lot of help on this forum starting out and it has payed off. Thanks AA! Easy to maintain finally now and everything has been doing good for some time. I had built all my own rocks for this reef and here is what it looks like...

Joshsmit56001 posted an idea to have a coral propagation forum on here. I'm just interested in try to find out how many user here do this? I'm just started a few of my own. About how many do you propogate each month? How many are successfull/unsuccessfull? What do you propogate? Thanks

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows some great links for coral species and coral care information. I am most interested in soft corals and maybe some sps. Are there any good web links anyone has? Also, which books would be the best for species care and looking at difficulties. I have...

Hi my BTA split into two a couple of days ago! Sweet!! They are both doing OK but are moving around SO much I have to really watch they don't get into the power heads. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should try to feed them at all or just let them heal? how long will it take them to heal and...

I have an explosion of macro algae (I think some kind of red calerpa or something) that is growing like a WEED on the tops of ALL my rocks that have high lighting. What is the best way to get control of this? What herbivores would be best to add or are there other methods? Its a 33 gal with...

Hi, Im wondering if you people could comment on if a aquaclear 300 would be useful to add as a fuge on the back of a 33 gallon? I mainly want it for pod production as I have a scooter blenny that has seemed to clean out all the pods and most of my speghetti worms in the two weeks since I got...

Is this a keyhole limpet? I've read they are OK to have in a reef tank but this thing seems to be devouring my purple coraline algae. Is it this thing or something else? The rock it is mostly always on has no coraline really, very bare rock... Are they good for anything else or should I get...

Hi everyone, I havn't seen any stereoscopic images before done with fish tanks so i thought I'd give it a try. I attached one here but there will be a higher quality version in my gallery once its approved. To view this, you need to sit back from your monitor and cross your eyes until the two...

I have a single type of SPS coral, couple of frags from my LFS. When I first got them, they had bright orange polyps out the ends of each branch. Its been about 5 weeks and I'm not sure if it is doing well or not? The tips seem like they are a little whiter and the polyps only come out a tiny...

I'm hoping to find out what this is? Anyone know it's name??

The first one, is the green plant kinda thing, shaped like a frag of some sort but its soft and has tiny fuzy tentacles on all its tips. Its up to about 5 inches long now. What is this, and is it good or bad in a reef tank? The second one, these red clumps (I assume some kind of algae) is...

Hi everyone, thought I'd say hello to the fellow Canadians on the site... I've been doing FW for years but just recently got into saltwater and found this GREAT site while researching for articles and help tog et started. Since then, AA has ben a great resource and I am learning TONS from the...

I just got a used 45G setup and am thinking of upscaling my 33G salwater to the 45 gallon. Otherwise we may just use it for a FW grow out tank. however, if I do upgrade to the 45G for the saltwater, what is the best way to do this. 1. Should I plan to just move everything at once to the...

Is there a way to subscribe or only show specific forums. This site is huge and reviewing new posts takes forever when you have to see all forums. I'd like to just see two or three forums in my profile for new posts since last login, is this possible or to remove the ones I don't want to see...

I added a new small pink brittle star a few days ago and it has hid inside my live rock since then. There are a few openings where his legs usually hang out so I know he's in there. One of the openings is the daytime hiding spot for one of my astrea snails where he always sits. Anyway, the...

Hi, I'm just wondering what animals will propogate (reproduce) in an established reef system. Are there any snails, fish, or inverts that will easily reproduce? Obviously corals can but what active criters in a reef system will?

Making your own base rock... I'm just wondering if many of you here have made your own base rock for your reef tanks. If so, can you post any pictures of the rocks and tanks using it? I have made some from crushed oyster and cement and it forms quite nicely into good shapes but it is still...

Hi I'm new to saltwater and just starting my reef setup. I purchased a used Red Sea berlin classic skimmer and am using it on a 33 gallon tank (might enlarge this eventually) and am just wondering how good this skimmer is? I have read a ton of articles here talking about getting a better...

Hi everyone, I have some cured live rock in my new setup (about 4 weeks now with lighting) and will be adding more base rock under this once it is finished curing. Another 2-3 weeks left I am guessing.. Once I put the base rock in, does it make sense to rearrange the rock and "flip it over" to...
