Hello, I have a nano reef that just will not stop growing algae no matter how hard I try and no matter how much phosphate sponge I use. Im thinking about scaping it and converting it into a mantis tank! Im thinking I can down throw in some weaker bulbs and wont have so much algae to deal with...

Ok, I have only had my girl for about 2 weeks, maybe 3 tops. She has proven to be such an amazing creature. Now, she continues to amaze me!!! She has been somewhat 'nesting', I really didnt know what to think of it. Well, now I know ... She was playing with a red 'sack' of sorts. This is what...

Hello, Next month I am going to start my first reef tank ever. I want to go nano or semi nano and am looking at either the 29 gal. Biocube or a DIY setup with either a 10 or 20 gal glass tank, buying everything seperately. Can I ask for everyone's opinions on both options please? I will...

I would like to find a new mantis shrimp. Money is tight for me, but I would pay up to $20 for a good specimen. I am also possibly willing to trade. I don't especially need something special (like a peacock mantis), I would take a hitchhiker that isn't too colorful as long as the price is right...
