low light tank

I've loved this tank, but I really think it's time for it to come down. The reason I'm taking it down will be to move my current 125G SPS tank into this tank. The 180 is a Reef Ready tank where the 125 is not. Humidity in my apartment is out of control, the heat is rediculus and...

Well this has been a fun day. I moved my shrimp to a 'fuge tank while waiting for her to release her eggs. should have happened last night, at least so I thought. She was being held in a contianer that allowed water flow, but kept her in easy reach. I holds onto the side of the tank with suction...

Guys, Macro algae has taken over my tank!! Starting to look like a bunch of seaweed. I think its because of my lighting. What should I do, let it grow or yank it all out? Any comments appreciated. Heres a pic

I really haven't done much research on keeping corals. I didn't plan on getting coral for at least a few more months. A friend just gave me some really small frags today of a green star polyp, spotted mushroom, and yellow sand polyp. My first question is will they survive in just regular...

I have dark green hair algae taking over my 55gal tank. What can I do to get rid of it? I have it growing on the glass, rocks, and other live plants.

My kids want to set back up at least one of the FW tanks. In the past I have kept these as plain ol' community tanks, nothing fancy with just a few low-light plants. My kids like the African frogs, neon tetras, the usual community-tank fish but I really developed an interest in the planted...
