hey, we just got our fish this week and are feeding with our first batch of frozen brine shrimp, do we thaw at the piece we cut out or just throw it in there whole?

I recently purchased an 8gal biocube to keep a small seahorse in. Right now I just have the tank and haven't purchased rocks or sand yet, so I still have the option of returning it and getting the 14 gal. tank. My plan for this tank was to keep 1 small seahorse (2-3 inch max size) and 1...

Hello there. I have a 55 Gallon glass tank overflowing to a wet dry sump. In my sump I have a coralife super skimmer that outlets into my home made refugium. I have ran an overflow back from the refugium to the sump in case the return pump cannot keep up with the skimmer pump but really they...

A short introduction of myself; my name is Chad Vossen; I’m 20 years old and live in MN. I have successfully raised 3 peppermint shrimp, with more to settle soon. I could have had more success, but I had two massive die offs that were human error. My larval shrimp tank is very basic; it’s a...

I just added candy cane, frogspawn and tube coral to my tank.... Does anyone have experience with the tube coral? All I have read says moderate current and low light - I am planning to feed cyclops - do I need to spoon feed it? My livestock currently includes 17 corals and 3 fish. I have the...

I hate to admit it, but I am having a problem with brown Algae on my sand! A little background to bring everyone up to speed. My first SW tank was 25 years ago and I've been keeping FW & SW off and on ever since. My current setup is a 125G with a 55G Sump and a 10G fuge. This setup is only...

Okay since I finally purchased my first pair of clownfish, I just wanted to know what everyone is feeding theirs. My LFS recommended a brand called spectra that is pelleted but my fish don't seem to eat it well. So I just wanted to see what other options are out there. If you vote on the poll...

hello, as stated before i am new to salt tanks and am trying to sort out a proper feeding schedule to keep everyone growning, and to keep the tank from becoming polluted. in my fresh water tanks i throw a couple pellets in there about 2 times a day and my oscars gulp them down, after 5...

Well...I have had a few good days this week to get some stuff done. I have the tank all set up and the rock is in. Right now I have 40 +/- lbs of good live rock. This stuff was in a filtration tank at Blue Zoo for 2 years (so essentially it was cooked for 2 years). Of course it was...

Hi all...2 different locals in our Reef Club have triggers for sale. One is a Blue Jaw about 5" and the other is a Pink Tail about the same size. Any thoughts on these 2 in the same tank? Bad idea? I don't know enough about them to know if this is possible... Another question, lots of the...

I have had this fish for about a year now. Its always been a pretty good fish until I picked up a crocea clam. It eats great dry pellets and frozen mysis and brine. I though the clam had a problem because it would'nt open up. Sunday morning I watched this fish several times picking at the...

Here's my new mandarin. I've waited months after creation of a 'fuge, and now since I can see a preponderance of pods, I thought the time was right. I went to my LFS and looked over the 3 they had, (not including the cigar-sized fat boys in the coral tank which aren't for sale). I observed...

hey everyone. I was wondering what kind of food everyone feeds their Lion fish.

Well now I am in it for the long run. My basement wont be ready for awhile so the inwall 120g is on hold. So....This is my new project. I have purchased 2 40g breeder tanks. 1 is in for drilling and I picked up the other one today which will be the sump. I am doing a DIY stand and canopy. I...
