been planning this for a while now and I am about to pick up a 40 gallon column aquarium for use as a seahorse tank. Other than a chiller, and the usual things required for a reeftank, what else do I need? As its 40 gallons, I plan on using a HOB filter. What do I need for lighting? What is a...

I have spent a lot of money participating in this hobby, but I do not think I could talk my wife into buying this one. http://www.reeftanksupply.com/product_info.php?products_id=758 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

can anyone suggest a coral or mushroom that is colorful and likes to be higher up in a tank that has metal halide lighting (2 x 150 watt). I have a koran angel so that is also a consideration. I have tried moving some of my mushrooms (hairy, green, blue) to the top of my live rock but they...

I just found a couple of snails tonight on my rock. One is nearly the size of a ladybug and the other is about a quarter the size. They're mainly black with white specks, the shell appears similar to what you'd see on land. Hopefully they're good! I now have some fairly large copepods &...

I've sold and given away all of my live items, except the rock. Now comes the fun stuff... This would make a great starter tank setup for someone, or some good parts for someone looking for specific items. I've had this tank up and running for just over 2 years. Everything is in working order...

I picked this coral up at Atlantis, I'm sure the guy I bought from said that they were Green Star Polyps. I was talking to Keri at Dan Co's and he pointed out GSP's and I was shocked. I probably didn't hear what they really were in all the excitment of buying a new coral. Therefore, I have...

Hello- I am looking into buying some live rock on-line. There are two places in particular that I have been researching. I haven't been able to find any solid info on either one of these places though and thought that some of you could give a little insight if you or someone you know had...

The purple coraline algae is turning white. Help? Does anybody know what could cause this to happen?

Ok... I know that it's a good thing to have the purple growth but, once it starts growing on the glass of my tank - I don't like it. :mad: How do I get it off? Scrap? I also have a hard build-up of green algae on the back of the tank - scrap that too? Sounds like a stupid question :rolleyes...

Hey everyone. I finally got my new computer and so now I can post those pics of the tank I said I would. I wish I took some when the algae was overgrowing my tank. It looked just like a big green box. I pulled some of the algae out of the tank by hand, and to my amazement, it did not grow back...

My rock came today right after school. I think the guy sent it last night and it got here around 12 pm. The rock looks cool! They are really big pieces and still have some purple coraline algae on it. I bought 50 pounds of it, and I put 40 in the main tank and about 10 in my sump/refugium. The...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if you could help me with this ID. This rock started out with just a small spot of what I thought was purple coraline algae. Over the past month or so the "algae" has spread until it covers almost the whole rock. Now it's starting to "spout". There are these little...

Hi All, I have a brown encrusting algae that is covering my nice pink & purple coraline algae and I need some help!?! My tank paramaters are right on and the nitrates are 0. The SPS corals are growing great and are very healthy. If you look at this stuff real close it has a fuzzy appearance...

About two days ago I noticed this pink spot of what I thought was coraline algae on the back glass where there is already established purple coraline. Well it began to spread out like a wave leaving the purple coraline algae behind it completly white. It is moving at the rate of about 3" a day...
