    My tank has finally finished cycling and I have brown algae and even coralline red and pink algae in my tank (which is pretty neat !!). I already added two snails from a LFS but they won't touch the substrate. I read that it's not wise to add hermit crabs to a new tank as well as brittle stars...

    Ok, need some help with this one. My tank is almost brown algae free and has been up and running after a move for about 4 months. I have a fine sand and the top layer stays brown all the time. Like I said, the rest of the tank is algae free. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? I...

    I need a good sand sifter, looking for some suggestions, maybe something tha will eat detritus too, i thought cucumbers were good for this, but i know they can release unwanted things if stressed, any ideas will be appreciated. I have a 24g aquapod for reference, don't want anything to large.

    I have two questions tonight. First off I need to order sand. I don't really want to go with play sand. I have seen it and it doesn't seem the right color to me. So I was looking at the Premium Aquatics website and I don't really know which sand to get. I need to get out to the fish store and...

    I know this has been asked many times but I am getting some conflicting answers over how much sand is too much. I was under the impression that up to 1-2 inches was okay and would not trap too much in the way of detritus. I have a buddy who has been doing reefs for probably longer than I have...

    I was trying to blow some algea off the sand yesterday and noticed it wasn't moving. I then touched the baster to the sand and found it to be hard. I tried to break it up. What causes this and what should I do? It isn't happening everywhere.

    Hi All, I have been searching the site and have been unable to come up with a thread answering exactly what i'm looking for (although I'm sure that there is one). I have a 46 gal bowfront with a 20g sump and a 20g refuge. The refuge is only about a month old and has about 4" of arag sand(which...

    Hi all - Here is my set-up plan. I posted it on Nano-Reef and RC and got some feedback, but I'd like to see what you have to say about it. This will be my first reef tank - so just be honest - I can take it! 29-gallon with a 10-gallon sump/refuge - both of these are tanks I had. That's why I...

    Would it be safe to say that it would contain the best of both a dsb and bb? Has anyone run both? I have read that some of you clean it often but if you have the proper life in the bed then why bother? I was thinking of getting starboard for my mostly softies tank and after reading many...

    Well after 2 months of reading and trying to decide if I was going to DSB, I have decided against it. While it does seem beneficial there are some draw backs (Start up costs, looks and a few others) not to mention I have noticed alot of the DSB keepers keep them in their refugium or to bring...
