I have no idea what a fair price would be, and I need to come up with something. 25-30lbs live rock (unsure of exact weight, it is in an established tank presently) serpent starfish 6 line wrasse bi-color blenny several large mushroom corals Thanks!!

I am getting a beautiful 55 gallon (tiny to some of you, but bigger to me!) tank and stand. It has been set up for fresh water, so none of the equipment she has will work for me. I need suggestions for lighting (I want to be able to keep soft corals, nothing fancy) and a skimmer (I have a...

I am getting it on Sunday and there is no way I can buy or build a sump for it before then. So, it is going to run without it. On my 29 I have a nice skimmer and about 30 lbs of live rock with 2 power heads. On the 55 gallon, I can use my same skimmer, and I will add it some more live rock...

From your suggestions, I think this is the way to go with my new 55 gallon. Can you all teach me how? TIA

I hope this isn't a dumb question. I found another tank on craigslist and it sounds like an awesome deal. It is a 55 gallon already set up saltwater. She has these fish (1) Yellow Tang, (1) Spotted Hawk Fish, (2) Blue Damsels, (2) Green Gobies. Also includes some live rock, not sure how...

A lady on craigslist has a 50 gallon bow front aquarium with stand. I haven't seen pics yet (she is going to send them to me asap) but she says it is really nice. She used it for saltwater and just took it down. She doesn't really know what she wants for it. She asked me how much I want to...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a while, but I know where to come when I have a question! I am looking for book recs about advanced reef keeping. I started out with this book...

I am finally getting some coralline growth on my back glass now. And on my powerheads and skimmer. I have been removing the powerheads and skimmer every month when I do a water change and cleaning them. Should I still take them off and clean them thoroughly with the coralline growing on them...

I've had the mushroom for 4 days and today, I noticed that one of the large ones on top is gone. I hesitate to move much of my rock to look for it, but I did move a few pieces and didn't see it. Also they seem to be a little shriveled. They honestly looked better when I first got them than...

My first coral! :^: Isn't it a beauty? Can you tell I am thrilled??? And my little clown is smiling for you guys!

I am wondering what this stuff is. Ever since I took my filter media out and started just running the filter for water movement, my nitrates have come way down to about 10-20 (from 40-60). But now I keep getting this brown stuff on the back of the glass and sometimes on the front. It almost...

be used for saltwater? I have a friend who may sell her 55 gallon tank. They have had it for a year set up as freshwater. If I bought it, could I use it for saltwater? What would I need to do as far as cleaning it to make it ready for saltwater? Also what would be a good price? It is set...

Do you all have your live rock all the way up against the back of the tank, or is there room behind the rock for fish to swim? I hope I am making sense. Should my rocks be scooted up to the back of the tank with more room in front? Thanks!

Hi! I ran into my LFS yesterday to get some frozen food. I was in a hurry, but a sale caught my eye! :mrgreen: A 90 gallon "reef ready" tank. I could not look at it long or ask questions (LFS is closed today), but it said something about "overflow", which I thought might have something to do...

Some new lights--Nova t5s. I am so excited! They are beautiful. Oh, and I go on Thursday to pick up my royal gramma. Who knew I could get so excited about lights and fish?!?!? Now what do you think about me adding some mushroom corals? What do I need to do? I would just google it, but you...

I started with a goofy looking background that looked like a reef with anemones and stuff. Now I just have a solid blue and it still looks goofy. I noticed some of you don't have a background but instead have some purple stuff growing on the back of your tank. What is that? Is it something...

I have a 29 gallon with a cardinalfish and 2 little clowns. I want to add maybe 2 more fish and then that's it. I think I want a flame angel or a coral beauty. What do you think? Also can you recommend another fish that would do well with this group? Thanks!!!!

no sump, no filter, just live rock and a skimmer (and powerheads of course)? I appreciate everyone's help so far and the suggestions. Most have suggested I either get rid of that dumb Whisper filter or just run it empty for water movement. Since it was causing a ridiculous amount of salt...

Hi! Everything is going good for now with my tank (knock on wood). I am up to 29 lbs of live rock! My 2 clowns and my cardinal are doing well. Here are my latest stats: Nitrites: 0 Ammonia: 0 ph: 8.2 Nitrates: 20 Temp runs about 79. My Prizm skimmer is pulling plenty if yucky dark brown...

I have a generic tank cover. By that I mean, it is just the regular old tank cover with plastic on half where you sit your light and the other half flips open. I hope that makes sense. My light is fine for what I need since I don't plan on adding any corals or anything. But is this tank...
