I've previously bought corals from Jeff's Exotic Fish in California. I'm looking for other good places to order a handful of corals later this summer. I've looked at the following: MarineDepotLive.com PremiumAquatics.com AcmeReef.com Sal****erfish.com I've also been looking at GARF, but can't...

My tank has just finished cycling and I noticed what I think is an aiptasia. It is about 1/2" tall and has a 1/4" tube (I'm positive it's not a tube worm), white/clear in color and attached to a small piece of white base rock. I've read that usually they are brownish but didn't know if...

All, I have a H.O.T overflow I have made a modified Stockman Pipe (http://www.dursostandpipes.com/) to keep the noise down which has worked great. But now it is bubling in the sump and making a gurgling noise. I am looking for ideas to quiet this down or the sump might havc to go as the tank is in...

If my nitrites are rising slowly over a few weeks to a few months, what should I add to the tank to lower it ?. I want to try and go with the natural method, no additives. I am hoping to get info soon about making a new filter/sump/refugium from a 3 or 4 foot tank.

Hi, This past Friday I noticed a large bunch of my Xenia looked a little "wilty". Kind of blue-grey and flopped over. Didn't think too much of it because sometimes it does that. Saturday, it looked worse. Took out one of the rocks that it is a attached to and it smelled terrible. Definately...

Unsuccesful with the bottle trap : ( Unsuccesful with rinsing the rock : ( Looks like hammer and chisel to the rock - I first found the rock he was in and rinsed under sink spigot nothing came out (although I hoped he may have went down the drain) Left the rock I saw him in out in the air for...

Hello, I do not have the best eyesight in the world, so every test I do seems way off according to how I read the colour charts. Last week my kit and my eyes claimed that I had a PH of 1.2. Now I know this had to be wrong as my hand did not disolve when I put it in the tank, so I bought a PH meter...

(LRO=Live Rock Only) How tank should be looking like if: -you put live rock into it -you put sand (not live) -you don't add any snail hermits fishes corals and algae -you skim, fill-in Ca, make regular water changes -you switch on lights -you do it for long period of time (year) ?

I have a lot of brown algea growing in my sand. I stir it up to get rid of it, but it keeps coming back. I have Turbo Snail but they dont touch the algea, they cling to the rocks and glass. Can someone offer a suggestion on how to control the agrea, and how to clean up the sand.. Thanks

Hello all, My tank is now all set for the real stocking of fish that I intended. My questions are regarding the order of introduction as well as compatabillity issues that others out there may have experienced with this list. As an FYI, my system is a 240 FOWLR, 180lbs LR and the only...

Last night I took a powerful flashlight to my aquarium to see if there is anything happening in there at night. I was shocked!!! My maderin was so white I thought it was dead! I did not lose as many hermits as I thought, as my 140g seemed to have hundreds all over the place. There was so many...

I have recently set up my first marine aquarium. It is going quite well so far, (save a slight red slime problem i am trying to control). I have put just one fish so far, a small yellowtail damsel. I would like this to become a reef tank, and i did use the damsel knowing it was very hardy and would...

Any one heard of Mesentry Filaments? I have seen these white filaments coming out of some of the acros in my tank. These are very thin (0.1mm dia) and up to 15mm in length most are pretty short though 5mm or less. they seem most prevelant after plankton replacement (Golden Pearls in this case) is...

Every group I go to has a different opinion on Deep Sand Beds Vs. Bare Bottom Tanks. What is the experience and opinion of this group. I respect the knowledge of a lot of the people in this group. I tend toward the DSB as the BB looks so unnatural. I like the idea of somewhat biological...
