Hello all. Been a good month since I have been on the forms. Been taking a break from it as well as just being mellow with my tanks in the meantime. Now I am starting to feel the pull of reefing again and I would like to make some changes. I have a few fish that are giving me troubles and I am...

NO SHIPPING P/U only make offer A true White Cheek bought as med size 1 yr ago Has been in undersized system (46g) for a yr waiting for a new build. It is very healthy, eats mostly algae sheets nori, and lots of flakes and cyclopeze. Has developed grazing habits twards corals since the size of...

Alright, so I'm itching for one or two fish for my tank (150 gallon, click the signature link for details). I've got a pretty decent fish load right now, but I feel I've got room for a larger fish. All but 2 of my fish are under 2" right now, and they shouldnt get too much larger. Current...

I was wondering. Do I feed once a day or twice? I am currently using these little cubed containers of a shrimp. I'm feeding 3 Chromis and 2 Hermit crads. All are pretty small.

Cool its day two and my tang is doing great he was eating today and picking at the rocks. I dont think he slept much last night because of being in a new place. So when lights went out today he didnt waste anytime going to sleep. He is very inqusitive and swam right up to the glass to look me in...

OK just when I thought that things were coming together BANG Bubble Algea :angry: OK the water is alright, with the exceptoion of the nitrates being at 5, but everything else is where it needs to be. we don't over feed, if anything they all act like there're starving lights on for 12 hours at...

Now while in selecting of which Anthias species I feel better for either 180 or 240 due to the fish maximum growth. And while listing these I began thinking that I will forget on the idea of either a dwarf or middle size growing angelfish due to tank space and also that most any angel I can...

Morning and good weekend to all back to work for me this morning

I am using the treatment listed here: http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevor-jones/hyposalinity.html For those that have done this, is 4 to 6 weeks long enough to allow the ich to die off in the main tank or should I go longer. I do not want a re-occurance and it took four long days to...

I noticed my Purple Tang having some very subtle spots on him. Anyone know what this is or what it will develop into. I don't think he had them just the other day. He's behaviour hasn't changed, still eats and seems all normal. I did a water change so far and even b4 that the water params were...

Since I seem to be the only one around at the moment, I guess I'll start the thread for today. At least it's already Monday here! LOL Good Morning Stooges and Guest Stooges (anyone else that drops in to check on us). I hope everyone has a good day and a good work week as well.

Saturday!!! Good Morning Everyone! :blob:

has anyone treated ich using no medications? I have ich in my tank, and quite a few fish I dont want to lose. I have no QT tank. I was thinking of adding 2 more cleaner shrimp for a total of 4, and a cleaner wrasse to help. Has anyone eliminated ICH using this method?

OK i have a 72 gallon tank with a kick but filtration:blob::blob::blob::blob: 72 AGA Mag7 return MJ 1200 w/Mod ASM G3 skimmer 29 gallon sump Super clean tank!:thumbup: What kind of tang can i keep? I used to have a yellow at one time but he got to mean. Then i had a chevron he was cool...

Today as I was cleaning my sandbed I noticed many little bugs (which i took to be copepods) and worms lving in the sandbed. Does this mean that I know have live sand because these critters are everywhere and if so should i disturb the sandbed if its only a very shallow one? I'd also like to know...

Hi all, I saw a lionfish the other day, looked great, was even eating dried shrimp. I really want this fish but am unsure of whether it will thrive in my tank. I have a 100 gallon fish tank with about 100 pounds of live rock and a shallow sand bed. The tank is highly illuminated with metal...

Hi all, Over the past few weeks much of my liverock and sand has been covered by a red algae (not like hair algae, might be cyano). I went to my lfs and he told me urchins may be able to help me get rid of some of the algae. I bought 3 urchins, they ate algae alrite only problem was it was...

i am now starting the rebuild of the Mantled Monster! i have done some preliminary stuff, but not much. the tank has been removed from its high home for now. <img src="http://www.thereeftank.com/gallery/files/2/0/5/0/20500.jpg"> here is a pic of the top of the mantle. i have already drilled...

Hi all, Over the past few weeks, I have been extremely busy and sadly neglected my tank. What with the christmas holidays coming up and my workload sure to decrease I have decided to devote much of my free time and money to my reef tank. I have a few problems and questions I would like...
