    More filtration..maybe

    Hi all, I recently received some extra stuff a friend had laying around that he doesn't use. One item is (I think) an emperor hob filter. It has the spray bars one of the caps on the side was broken so I was thinking about using some rock putty to seal it. It has the big grey parts that hold the...

    Whats on my coral??

    Hi all, I've been watching my GSP for a while now and when it closes up at night it looks like there's something attached to the base. Anyone have a clue what this is and or how to remove it? I apologize for the crappy pic... Best I could do before the lights came on this morning with my iPhone.

    Sand sifter issues

    Hi all, I recently (at the advice of my lfs) added a dragon goby to my 46 bowfront reef. The idea being he would help turn over the sand and keep it looking clean. What he is actually doing is digging large holes in the sand bed around my rock scape. I'll be upgrading in the next month to a 90...

    Got some corals

    Hi all, I finally got around to getting my first coral. My lfs said this was pretty much impossible to kill so I got a gsp. Took about a week moving around the tank before I found a spot it liked, I thought I would share a pic...

    Getting started

    So I'm starting with a 46 bowfront, it has the stock lid, the hob filter it came with (its the double chamber bio wheel model) and the stock light. My plan is to turn this into my first salt water tank. This will be my first salt tank but I am experienced in fw, I have a 90gal cichlid tank and a...

    Sand vs rock

    I set up a 90 gallon African cichlid tank a few months ago using some beach pebbles from home depot rather than typical gravel. At first I thought it looked pretty cool, different from other set up's that I've seen. The juvies I put in the tank seemed to like being able to get down in the cracks...

    Oceanic vs coralife biocube

    Hi everyone, I'm considering a bio cube purchase in the next few months. I've been reading a lot of the build threads here for cubes but I haven't come across a comparison on these brands anywhere. Google isn't any help so I thought I'd try you guys :) the oceanic is about 30 bucks cheaper than...

    Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the hobby but super addicted already. I have 3 tanks so far, a 20 gal planted FW Tank with mollies, java fern and a few small swords; a 46 bow front that houses my tiger Oscar and my jack dempsey; and my 90 gal that is a work in progress. The 90 has a fun story...
