so i purchased 2 nerite snails to control a bit of an algae that i'm having and plus i thought that snails can be great scavengers. fast forward 2 weeks later i noticed eggs around my manzanita branches and some of my dragonstones. at first i didn't think much of these eggs until i made some...

there's this buzzing noise coming from the pump for the reactor and i hope someone can chime in one this. here's the rest of the story: i bought a Phosban 150 and a Marineland Maxijet 600 pumps along with some black vynl hosing for connections. i tested the reactor and saw no leaks. i tested...

went to a big box pet store today and saw this labeled as "assorted damsel" for $4.99. now I haven't been on the salty side for a terribly long time, but it's not my first day reefing either. is this a juvie koran angel or a juvie emperor angel? I understand the risk when it comes to angels and...

just want to share something miraculous that happened overnight: i was redoing my aquascape yesterday afternoon for my 40B and decided to take out some of the live rocks to help with the water flow/circulation. i have two pom pom crabs in the tank and i tried to make sure that none of the two...

i'm new to this and can't tell if they're the same or different. can someone clarify them out for me? i'm getting a Phosban 150 for my reef and woud like it to eliminate some of the nitrate/phosphate. i'm a bit confused on what the difference is between GFO and Carbon. maybe they're the same...

i would love to see those who have GSP covering their tank walls or the bottom pane of the tank. i have a bare bottom and without anything on the bottom, there's this emptiness. i would like to fill it up with GSP even though i understand they can grow like weed. another reason why i want to...

i'm going to place an order for the Phosban 150 and i need a recommendation for the pump. i'm going to hang it on the bang of my 40B right next to my Octopus BH1000 skimmer. any help is appreciated:dance::thanks: i heard people using MJ1200 and i have also seen Seltz L30 on dr.foster and smith...

so i overdid with the O+ capsule and now there's excess nutrients in the substrate/tank. is there a way to extract as much O+ pellets as possible other than water changes? for the record, everything is already in the tank and i prefer not to tear it down again.

i have always gotten handed-down tank/equipment so i never properly cycle a tank before. now that i'm going to start a new 40B reef tank, i was wondering how fast a 40B can be cycled if all i'm using is maybe 15lb of dry rock and using 10lb of live rock from my existing tank as seeding...

i have a dual bulb T5 fixture controlled by a ballast. one of the bulb isn't coming on and I tested that slot by switching around the bulbs and found nothing wrong with the bulb. so what's the next step in root causing the fixture and fixing the issue? i'm not a technician but i do have a...

well, it's not exactly crashing as all my corals are doing well but my fishes are different story. i have 2 oce clown, tail spot blenny, yellow coris wrasse, hector goby, and a diamond spot goby in my tank for the longest time. they all went through the QT process and have been thriving in my...

the title says it all. due to the location of my home and the nearest reputable lfs, all corals that i get need to stay in a cooler for about 48hrs before getting into my actual tank. in the past, i have had some success in putting each coral(mainly softies and lps) in their own separate bags...

so i'm in the market for a controllable wave maker/powerhead and Jebao has good reviews according to many members on this forum relative to functionality and price. i went to fish-street.com and tried to decide which one i should go with, here's my dilemma: what is the difference between...

so i'm going to get started on my Fluval Chi 5gal nano tank. i would love to have some HC or dwarf hairgrass as the carpeting plants. my question is due to the lack of medium-high light for nano tank, what do people normally use? i also came across this unit by Ecoxotic. Ecoxotic Panorama LED...

with so many controllers out there, is there an advantage for one brand of controller over another? i heard one of the controller company (can't remember the name but i think it's got "angel" in the name) isn't as good as the others. i'm so confused over Reef Keeper Lite vs Reef Keeper Elite...

here are my results CA = 510 (more than 1ml of titrant was used. is this normal?) Alk = 7.8 Mag = 1500 are these readings ok?

The title says it all. I would like to know the dimensions of it TOM Aquarium Mini Internal Filter 45gph adjustable flow:Amazon:Pet Supplies

Does anyone have a good replacement for the light that comes with the Fluval Chi? I'm thinking about growing some baby dwarf tear or dwarf hairgrass.

Just went to petco and wanted some galaxy rasboras for my nano tank. The lady thought they are baby tetras and gave 6 of them to me for free!

I'm going to redo the layout of my regular 29gal reef tank, especially since i upgraded my tank to Taotronic LED and a new Reef Octopus BH1000 HOB skimmer, and add some macro algae into the tank through a DIY in-tank refugium in order to reduce nutrient and host the pods population.

Just got a red scooter blenny from a local reefer who's too busy with the coming of his 3rd child. anyways, I love this fish epsecially since I found out that it eats pellets and some frozen food. to my surprise, he sleeps in the sand when the lights are out, something I didn't know before. I...

I'm making a DIY in-tank refugium using acrylic and did some research on how to glue them together. the consensus is using Weld-on #4 but i can't find that darn thing in any one of the home improvement store near me. is there anything else that i can use other than the 100% silicone? the closest...

so i just bought this 2014 New Full Spectrum Dimmable 120W LED Aquarium Light Coral Reef Marine Lamp | eBay and have it hung 1-1.5ft above the water line in order to get better coverage for my regular 29gal reef tank. Those who are using Taotronics and its knock-offs, what level of intensities...

so i tried again, although painfully, to feed my fish/corals frozen brine shrimp without much success. i know that frozen food is more natural and more nutritious packed. i have heard so many good things about feeding frozen food, especially for those picky eaters. yet for some reason my reef...

does anyone know the max height that the aqualifter is able to pump? i need about 4-5ft of clearance.
