I was reading the "Yellow African Anemone" post and came across yet more criticism of canister filters. Before setting up our reef tank I did a lot of research on this. Purists say they are bad news because they generate excess nitrates. Pragmatists, especially those trying to encourage new people...

I have a 150 gallon 30" deep symmetric hexagonal reef tank. I have a single 250 watt MH HQI pendant and about 530 watts of VHO lighting. There is no more room for any more lighting in the small hood. I would like to supplement my lighting to help color up some of my more light-requiring SPS, and...

Hi, guys I put a nice piece of elegance coral in my 75 G tank with 220W PC three weeks ago. I seemed good for first week, but it doen't pop up well after that. One reason I thought is insufficient light. However, although I placed it right under the pc with sand bed, it wasn't getting well. The...

Hi all! I am getting my tank (40 uk gal)this weekend and will be setting it up... My local Marine shop has advised setting it up with 25k uncured live rock to bring the tank up to cycling quicker. My question is will I also need to add a couple of fish to add a bio load as well? The shop guy was...

Not trying to cause a big debate or anything, but I am trying to decide whether to get rid of most of my sandbed. I recently had a slip of a powerhead dig a hole in my DSB and after having a stable tank now I have GHA and Cyano problems. I have talked to some people about just going bare bottom or...

Hi all, Recently I was looking into my 'fuge pondering whether my inability to keep macro alive was a good thing or a bad thing, when I noticed hundreds of tiny arms waving at me... some brittle stars must have spawned as I've got hundreds of tiny baby ones. Thing is, I'd like to move some into...

Are these a reasonable alternative to the Tunze pumps? They are a fraction of the cost.....

I have a 150 gallon 30" deep reef tank with a single 250 watt HQI pendant, and about 500 watts of VHO lighting. I have no room in the hood for any additional (or higher wattage) lighting. I would like to be able to supplement my current lighting to help color up some of my higher-light requiring...

Hello Everyone: I have a 135 gal tank which is dormant (dry). I was in the hobby a few years ago and gave it up. Now, I'm thinking about getting back into it and would like to try something different. To get the flow I need, I'd like to drill a hole (or two) in the bottom of the tank and build an...

Please read this: http://www.sfbb.com/whyfeedfrozen.html I know they call it "binder", but why do we need binders? I was in understanding that when purchasing frozen krill or artemia I am buying krill+water only, no additives... Are they any adverse effects of adding large amounts of algin and...

I have a 120 gal tank which I want to set up as sal****er, I've had freshwater previously in smaller tanks, 30 gal. Now bio balls are supposed to be used for biological filtration. However live rock is the best choice for this, so are bio balls really needed? I have read the pages...

I have lots of green hair-like algae growing on my live rock. Is there an easy way to physically remove this algae?

I just purchased an established reef tank, that has glass lids on it. I was talking to a friend of mine that has a fish only tank and he said that I deeded plexi glass covers to allow a more natural light spectrum thru. I remember seeing somthing on this years ago when I had my first tank, but...
