    Orange shoulder tang

    I've had my orange shoulder for about 2 months now. Everything looked good up until about 1 week ago. I noticed him losing weight. Tonight I noticed his teeth are showing a lot more than normal, almost like his jaw is locked open. He's not eating. I'm trying to get a good photo but he's camera...

    GBTA Perched under a rock

    I added a GBTA to my tank on Tuesday. I acclimated for about 1.5hrs. I turned all power heads off so that he could get positioned onto sandbed or rock of choice. The next day I found him perched under a rock. He's been there since. My tank is a 135g and all perams are good.

    Rockscape using plastic pallets/crates...

    I'm looking to rescape my tank. I've seen someone on here that formed rocks by attaching them to crates. I can't find that person tho. My work has plastic pallets and I'm thinking of cutting them up and attaching live rocks to them to form a nice rockscape. Of course you wouldn't see the...

    Enough Flow?

    I have a 135 gallon tank that I've slowly been turning into a reef. I have 2 koralia 1400, 1 ac70, 1 ac50 and 1 ac30. I also have my return pump (mag 950) pushing water into tank. Is this enough flow? Or should I add a few more 1400?

    Eshopps PF1200

    I'm not happy with my current hob overflows. I'm going to be building a single overflow with 2 outlets. It'll mirror the Eshopp 1200. I have a Mag 950 return. Will this be sufficient enough? My dt is 135 and my sump is a 40g. I can't afford to buy a bigger return pump. Advice?

    Has anyone seen me???

    I'm a green spot mandarin. I'm about 3.5" long and my owner can't find me. Ugh! I've had this guy for about 7 months. I recently switched from a mag 350 and hob fluidized bed filter over to a 40g sump. I'm thinking that the Copepod pop dropped. Do these guys burrow themselves? Help!
