  1. General Reef Discussion
    Hi All! First off, great forum, heaps of very useful advice. I'm glad I found you guys. I'm finding I need a bit of advice, and I have the feeling this is the place to ask for it. About five years ago, before I moved out of my parents house, I set up a reef tank for them. After I left, due...

    Just wondering who is interested in signing up for the reef jeopardy tournament. We'll need at least 9 people to make it a true tournament. RJ will be held in the chat room on Sunday nights. We'll probably make it a shorter version for the tournament held over the next few weeks. I'm open to...

    I posted earlier seeking advice on a good final fish addition to my 29. I was torn between a dwarf angel or a clown. Now that I am leaning more toward a clown, Ive been going back to some research on which corals to add for the sucker. Between a torch, hammer, or frogspawn, which is the least...

    After lots of reading, from this board and books and opinions and my own tank speaking to me, plus doing this the first time around and failing(algae etc). I am ready to invest about 50-60 bucks in a nice piece of coral. I have had the tank going for about 2 months now. 29 gallon, no fish, 20...

    Could anybody recommend some corals that do well in low light and low to moderate current? Yes, I'll admit it and I know I'm not the only one out there, I only have 80 Watts of standard flourescent lighting (one Corallife 50/50 and one Hagen Power-Glo) for my 55 gallon tank. I'm fairly new to...
