So it turns out that a whole bunch of what I thought was coralline is actually cyano. I have quite a bit of actual coralline on the rock that I got to seed my tank that I just assumed the cyano was new coralline, since it did look really crusty and opaque. I was wrong. I just started a tank...

I have quite a few of these things growing in my tank. Does anyone know what they are? In the zoomed in pic, you can see a "fan" (I don't know if that's what it's called) sticking out of it, which is why I think it's some type of filterfeeder. Joseph Granata

Ok. Today my clownfish Julio bit me. Twice. I've had my hands in the tank quite a bit the last few days, doing various things, and today he was not having it at all. Every time I put my hand in, he would swim right up and start charging me. I was literally having a showdown with a CLOWNFISH...

Not really sure which subforum this should go in, so I'll just put it here. I use tap water for my FOWLR, and I was wondering if it's possible to keep snails or shrimp with tap water. I live in Toronto, and I was able to source a water quality analysis for 2013, and I found that the maximum...

I know the title of this post isn't very descriptive, but I don't really know how to describe the problem in a short phrase. I've had my FOWLR set up for just over a month now - I currently have two ocellaris clownfish - and I'll be adding a royal gramma basslet in a few weeks. The cause of...

My 37 - now slated to be 55 - gallon FOWLR build (link to that jounal in my signature) has been on hold for quite a while. With the new school year starting, it doesn't look like that's going to be set up before next summer :scry:. In the meantime, however, I realized that I can use the entire...

It's Finally time!!! After five years of having a freshwater community and about three years of constant research, I'm finally setting up my saltwater tank. I went on a bunch of GTA forums last weekend and made a big list of the best aquarium stores in my area. This week after work, I've...

I'm getting ready to switch my freshwater tank to saltwater over then next few months, and I'm now finalizing plans and starting to work on all the logistics and such. I'll be setting up a sump with a drilled gravity overflow, but I'm not sure what size pipes I'll need to keep up with my return...

I'm in the planning stage of setting up my 37gal FOWLR tank and I have some questions about my refugium plan. Note that I will NOT have a sump. I was hoping to use a modified AC110 for my refugium so that I could also take care of a large portion of the necessary water flow in the tank (i.e...

Hi there, my name's Joseph. I'm 18 and I'm in my first year studying theoretical math at the University of Toronto (I'm from Toronto, too). I've had my freshwater tropical community for five years now, and I'll be switching it over to a FOWR this summer. Here's a picture of my current tank...
