Okay, I am starting to look for a light for my 40 gallon that is currently FOWLR. I would like to eventually add an anemone or two to the tank once it is fully established. I was looking at getting a Coralife Aqualight 150 watt clamp-on, but then found a deal over on RC. It is a 250 watt PFO...

For about 2 years I've done everything in my power to keep all my parameters where they need to be. I've got the proper lighting. The best hang-on skimmer I could afford. I've done everything by the book. I have some zoas, shrooms, and yellow star polyps in my tank. I gave a couple of each...

I've tried several times to keep shrimp in my tank (90G + 30G Sump). Peppermint and coral banded shrimps. They are all gone in a matter of days. They just dissapear! So I'm guessing something is eating them. The Suspects 1 Yellow Tang 1 Blue Devil Damsel 1 Percula Clown 1 Royal Dottyback...

I own a 55 gallon tank and i am running a fluval 305. I want to build a reef tank but i have heard that the fluval 305 canister filter is not recomended for a salt water tank. My question is why is this certain filter is not recomended? should i just use this filter on my freshwater tank or...

hello i am new to saltwater fish, i just recently bought a blue devil damsel and a domino damsel. The two are acting fine they have quite the diffrent character from fresh water fish. :) My question though is that my dommino damsel i notice it has 3 white dots on the top fin. I cant tell if...

Hi, I'm Ron. I just recently got into this hobby. I had a 30g tank about 18 years ago but things have really changed. I thought I was starting the easy way- I bought an already established setup. But I'm not sure if that was best. Because now I'm a newb with a bunch of stuff to learn about lol...

hey, i was wondering if it is okay to get small crabs / cleaner crw if i dont have a protien skimmer yet. im hopeing to get one latter this week but if my deal doesnt go thrugh it may be more like 2 months.......i halso dont have any live rock yet, would adding this kill them off due to cycle?

So I got 5 blue chromies (.5" - .75") each and a 2" copperband butterfly last friday. I had a mated pair of false percula clowns that had been doing great in the tank for over 8 months now. All my water parameters are excellent, yet this evening I discovered one of them is missing. It looks like...

I have added a second tang in my 20 nano here at work! I know im crazy but honestly they get along (after the 1st day..lol) they are the same size....one is a Scopus and the other is a yellow..... we do 4 gallon weekly water changes......:beer:

Okay meet Fuzzy. He is a dwarf lion and very cute.

I am getting conflicting info on these guys. One site said yes another said no. I know you cant put snails and small inverts but what about clams and corals?

I hit a point with my 15 where my skimmer would no longer really skim, when I did get skimate it was clear and overflowing. My corals were starting to lighten up, a couple even STN'ed a bit at the base, so I have added a few fish and begun to feed. This tank now contains a Figi Blue Devil...
