I had posted some time back when we were selling our home in Florida... we have since relocated and I would like to set up the 10g again. I am starting from scratch other than tank, lights and filteration... I really want to use the black sand and have seen a few types and brands... which is the...

Right now I have zoo's, xenia and GSP... can I add any of these with my lighting? Blue Green Acropora Nobilis stag frag Pink Millie Millepora Green Aculeus bottlebrush acropora (Purple Haze) Montipora Leathers (which?) Frog spawn or toad stool?

I have 3 new frags (2 button colonies and 1 small zoo colony) I'd like to stick perm. on my lr... which method is easiest and safest?

15 deep 24 wide 19 tall ... I bought it for my son to start his 'bigger' sw tank... the guy said he couldn't remeber what size it was. Also, my son wants the black sand, but I have read it's too hard on sand sifters and stars... is this true? Is it ok with everything else, corals, fish...

Big water change today to try and combat the hair algae from the new lighting... these started poking out of live rock everywhere.... they aren't fire worms are they? and are they safe? Something has been bothering my xenia and buttons... could it be these? Thanks! Kimberly

Not sure what's going on, but I have a baseball size mound of Xenia, the pink pulsing variety. I have 2 small brown xenia frags on here as well. This morning I noticed the brown was small and although still pumping/pulsing, it appears to have lost many of it's 'arms'. I also see new buds, but...

Hi All. It's been quite a while. My 29g has been up and running for over a year I guess. No real issues. It has over 50lbs LR and the sand is very live. :) I have 2 PH and also a HOB. I bought the Orbit lighting and we had no coral and only 2 damsels (which are about to be traded in) Issue...

Did my weekly 5g pwc and the bucket is white so I didn't notice until I placed the water back in that it appears to be snowing... little dot size white particles. Confused... what is it and what do I do?

We have scoured the LFS's today.. so much so I came home empty handed and I just wanted my shoes off. Hubby wants a small yellow or hippo tang (tank is 29g LOLing!) soooo, needless to say, we didn't get one... although he argued a good point, "Well, look what they are in right now?! 1/2 gallon...

One current residents a green clown goby & pep. shrimp... (-minus a green chromis in the am) I have 40+ pounds LR and woud like to add a pink and a yellow fish... Royal Gramma I'm thinking... and I would like something else with some blues or greens, colorful....prefer all coral safe as I plan...

Hi everyone. I have a 29g with 40+ lbs lr and the tank is doing great aside of a green hair algae issue. (now using RO/DI) I have had a little green chromis about just shy of an inch for about 4 or 5 weeks... my husband bought him just after my cycle completes. 2 weeks ago I bought a awesome...

Hi Everyone. Been gone a while.... the flu ran though 6 kids and 2 parents... fun eh? Have a question about Green and red hair algae which is trying to over take my tank. I have cut back on feeding, don't have but 2 wee little fish anyhow.... lighting is 8 hours right now instead of 12 hr...

Is this bad too? Look fern like. Thanks!

These are something alive, they looked like blobs of raised coraline and now they have red somethings coming out... ***** These? These just showed up in large numbers a few days ago... still here - lots of them. ***** These look to be coming out of a very old LR dead coral clear...

Thanks! I also have the same thing in red. Thanks!!!

Just curious if he or any other fish comes down with Ick, I think I see a spot, is that LR or base rock I am using need to be fallow as well for 8 weeks after he is cured before new fish come to the qtank or should I just use dry base rock and rotate it and sun dry it between uses? I'm using a...

Tank just completed it cycle last week. 29g with 40+ pounds lr and ls. Bought a clean up crew about a week ago, they have done a great job! Doing some serious eating. Did a 25% water change after cycle and then another weekly PWC 25% day before yesteday. water has been stable and perfect and...

My tank just cycled and whenI thought all had died through the cycle (LOL) I have a huge florish of pods all over the glass, I mean mass amounts. Pretty happy about it. Sooo... I bought a wee little chromis and a O. Clown (who school toghether BTW, so neat!) But I noticed last night the...

Hi All. My tank is done cycling and I have 2 fish, small green chromis and tank raised o.clown. When we got the clown, we asked what foods were they feeding so we could purchase some. They said flakes, but didn't know which brand as they were in a large plain container. The store carried a lot...

I love the Cleaner shrimp... got to have one... my hubby saw a fire shrimp and said he has to have it.... can they be housed in the same tank? or does he need to get his own?! ;) Oh...are the fire shrimp reef safe? THANKS!!!

What kind of bottled water should I buy? I will be using it for the 3g-5g PWC on the 29g. Distilled, purified, spring? Thanks!

Now that my cycle is over I have loads of life springing forward in my tank ! YIPPEE! Anyhow, I have seen 2 of these, about the size of a sharpened pencil eraser. Thanks!

Today while browsing the LFS my husband saw a tank full of smaller Anenomes... most white, a few purple/lavender. 2x2 in size. That is all they were labeled... they said the are easy care and stay small. Just curious are these hardy and reef safe?... haven't seen them before I don't think. We...

This isnt the best picture, but I didn;t want to move my rock to get closer, the zoom made it look worse, I will try again if an ID can;tbe made... but it's about the size of a pencil eraser, maybe a little wider, flat, and looks like a little webbed hand. hard to the touch and I THINK, not sure...

Went today to see if they had any turbo snails and blue legs... was walking around while waiting and noticed numerous fish with ich. Their tanks are all connected..., most have the slots on each side from tank to tank for water flow, like an overflow box, does that mean they all pretty much have...
