Hey TRT, I am split between two different types of rock. I would make two orders of either one to be able to sculpt a nice design to put into the tank. If you think there is a better type of rock or better deal, please feel free to share. Otherwise, which would you choose...

Hey yall, I was wondering how I would go about replacing/adding new sand to a reef tank. I have had the tank for about year or so now and I was just wondering what I would have to do? Also, I have researched some on my own. Some people say that adding new live sand to your tank can cause it to...

Just have a general question about my wet dry. I have a home made wet/dry. I say home made, but its actually an old refugium turned into a wet/dry. I have noticed i have almost an 8th of an inch maybe a little more of dirt, or fish poop or something, along with about a thousand little white...

Hello, I recently got a 5 gallon buckets worth of live rock from my mother. She got it a few years ago from a friend who was shutting down their sw tank. It has been sitting outside in high temps as well as snow. I am wondering what would be the best route for curing this. Normally I cure live...

Hey guys, A few days ago I set up a 75 gallon system with a 20 gallon sump. 5 days before, I went to my lfs store and chose out my liverock for the tank so the could put it on hold, because they were going out of business and I wanted to have liverock for my tank. Long story short, they forgot...

First of I have read How to "cook" your rock thread and it didnt answer my question. I got about 30lbs of rock from my uncle and he had ick and hair algae. The rock has been out of his tank (a couple months) and is very dry. Everything on it is dry and dead. I was hoping to use it to start my...

What do you think about vacuuming out sand each water change (1 gallon of sand)and then rinsing and drying it out? After a week of the sand drying in the sun during your next water change taking out more sand and adding the dry sand back. Would this help keep the sand more clean? I have thought...

I found the following interesting article. It discusses the benefits of shipping corals "dry", wrapped in breathable media soaked in seawater rather than submerged in seawater in a bag. The premise of the article as I understand it is that oxygen diffusion through the water surface in a bag is...

I purchased 125 lbsish of dried "Live Rock" and am in the process of curing it. I had it sitting in my hot tub but the neighbor kids were popping the lid and leaving it open so I had to change it to a 55 gal drum. Ive got a powerhead in now circulating water. Now Ive been reading dead...

I want to upgrade my filtration to a wet/dry system. I'm researching and every filter claims to be "the best" or "perfect". I'm just wondering which to buy for a 55 gallon tank that wont cost me an arm and a leg (no more than $250). Tank is not drilled so i will buy the hang on pre-filter box...

Hey guys, I tried searching but couldn't find any of the answers I was looking for. After debating between dry vs live sand, I decided to go with some of the dry sand from Marco Rocks. My first question is how should I go about rinsing it before putting it in my tank (only live rock, no fish...
