Our second firefish committed suicide so we got a pink spotted goby to replace her. The fish does not want to eat...I put in three types of frozen and even chopped up krill. Any ideas? :beer:

Not sure where else to put thi sLOL I fell in love with a feather star at the fish store last night, they called it a basket star, but when I looked it up on line to see if it was reef safe, it looked more like the defijnition of a feather star. Very neat little creature. I'm wondering if...

Hello all - was taking some new pictures of my 29g today - and since my other 2 tanks have their own threads in the build off - I didn't want this tank to be left out! :) Actually - I just wanted a thread that I could link to in my signature and so that I can keep a thread of all the changes...

Alright, so Im in on this. I know my 60g build isnt anywhere near complete, but I think I can use my leftovers for this. I have tons of live rock, with nothing to do with it, and I also have enough sand to cover the bottom of this tank, along with some pieces of coral I dont want in my 60g...

please give me input on these fish? They look really cool? are they a friendly reef safe fish?

Hi all, Along with this poll, I am wondering what your feelings are on feeding my tank. I am having a hard time judging on how much to feed everyone. So, here is my list of livestock: 2 False Percs (< 2") 2 Clarkii's (Female about 2", male about 1") 1 Onespot Foxface (< 4") 1 LMB - 4" 1...

Hey everyone, i am just looking for opinions on what kinds of fish to stock my 125 gallon reef with, right now i only have 190lbs of live rock and 90lbs of live sand i also have a very huge HOB filter (rated at 500gph) thats my main filtration, i also have a coralife super skimmer 220 which i...

I just started my fist saltwater fish tank and my PH levels are low (I think). My tank just finished cycling and my Ammonia is less than .15 mg/l and my Nitritie level is about .3 mg/l. I have been using R/O water and do not have a protein skimmer. The tank is 20 gallons and has about 12 lbs of...

One of the things I love about this hobby is witnessing the unexpected or unusual behaviors of my tank denizens. So, I thought I'd share some oddities about my critters that show how stereotypical behaviors we expect from a species is a rough guideline at best. First I've got an odd little...

Repost: Alright, so me and Rachel went to the LFS yesterday, and we bought a new tank. Its 24"x24"x24" (A cube obviously). Its glass, with an overflow, but NOT drilled. I didnt want it drilled, because I dont want to run a sump. I have some things Im going to be using from my 20g, and some...

ok, jumping on. I've been running nearly bare bottom (theres about a 1/4 inch here and there cause I didn't get it ALL out) for... 6 months. my only issues: what will live and what will die? and how do I get my midas blenny out of the rocks? ACK! I'm assuming your going to say set up a ten...

12g aquapod and 12g nano cube added a blue mushroom rock and zoa to the nano cube and a semi green bubble coral to the aquapod, starting to get diatoms on the sand finally the nano cube doesnt have the actinic lighting so the zoa's cant glow :( the aquapod has the actinic so thats cool :) both...

Alright so later this week ill have a decent amount of extra cash to put more into this reef tank. But im not sure what to get as of right now. For those that dont know its a 75gal reef tank, but i only have about 50# of live rock in there at the moment. So one option is to go get another 40# of...

Hey all...question about a blue tang. My girlfriend really wants to add one to our tank...but i dont know much about them. My tank is a 75gal reef, only occupants are 2 perc clowns and a reef cleaner crew of snails and hermits. Would a blue tang be suitable to my tank? Any precautions? Anything...

Ok well heres whats goin on, hope someone can help or tell me this is normal. My aquac remora skimmer has been filling its collection cup once every 20 minutes or so, ever since last night when i introduced the first tank inhabitants, a pair of perc clowns. I have to run to the LFS so i have to...
