Finally.. moving forward with a tank again. I just bought a 75 gallon pre-drilled. It will be delivered next week. Still tossing some ideas back and forth for filtration and lighting...

... interesting the past two years in saltwater keeping? Any ground breaking news?

Hello again all.. I am going to be relocating back to the US soon and I have been seriously missing my tanks... If anyone is selling a complete tank or knows someone who is.. please let me know. I will drive a reasonable distance from Columbus, Ohio to pick it up (further if it's just...

I found a neat product at the local fish store about 1 month ago - Slime Eraser. It's reef safe and targets just that nasty cyno. It did take two applications on my 46 gallon (it is slowly added over a 2 week period) to really do anything.. but.. it has cleared nearly 90% of my cyno (I really...

Yea - this lighting solution is digustingly expensive .. but I am trying to find specs on what makes their LED light so much better. Does anyone have any good information on what makes the Solaris LED's so powerful?

Yea - so they aren't saltwater - bite me! I was at the coral farm today and he has an awesome pond he built that comes right off his front porch. It's a massive pond - over 8 feet deep. I got lucky and the water was crystal clear and the fish were not being shy at all! Enjoy...

Okay - I've seen too many blurry pictures lately. It's a trend that is painfully increase. So - I am creating a thread where photographers can share tricks to getting *good* shots. Hopefully - this will help others increase the quality of their images so we can all enjoy the purty corals...

Well - I finally made it to the store for some new sand. My 46 is finally back on track. Amy did an awesome job of aquascaping. After the sand settles I'll start cycling the tank and starting the process of re-seeding the coraline. Should be a pretty boring next few months. The 29...

Hey Rigo - I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I think this would be interesting. Granted - it might make you look a little crazy. Can you take a few test kits out to the beach with you (where you harvest your corals) and test the water there. I think it would be...

:frustrat::frustrat::frustrat::frustrat::frustrat::frustrat::frustrat::frustrat: While I was doing a water change - had the Magnum 350 turned off - noticed water on the floor. the canister actually cracked at the lip right under one of the metal latches. Luckily I was there when it cracked...

well - too many people were setting up massive tanks... I felt the need to setup another tank. I happened to have a good spot for it, 29 gallon tank, 65 watt PC fixture, filter and after a short trip to the petstore everything else (rocks, sand and a heater) This should be a Fish Only tank -...

Okay - I am not one to complain or anything about a nice free photo service like that is offered here. But the new addition of tagging our photos with the living reefs website.. make it appear that LR owns the copyright to the photo. Which unless I am mistaken... you don't. Can this...

I decided to take the baby to the coral farm and make sure she 'starts of right' :) Picked up this combo yesterday. I am really bad with names - and I forgot what the top piece is called. Cavella is what is coming to mind.. but Todd at the coral farm only uses scientific names so after 2...

I'm not sure what is growing in my Green Star Polyp rock. I'll try to remember to take a picture and post it... but here is my description - let me know if you think you know what it is There are three of them. They are solid white and look like the bottom end of a funnel. I'd say...

After I finally figured out how to take good pictures with my Canon - I went out and upgraded to a DSLR (Nikon D40x) Hopefully I start getting some good pictures with this kick ass camera to post here. If anyone has any good tips for taking aquarium shots with a DSLR it's greatly appreciated!

It's been a long time since I've bought a new heater. My head is spinning after looking on Ebay and a few other sites. Anyone recently purchase a new one and do you like it.

...really.. I did. If it just so happens that I buy my salt at the nearby coral farm - :) who am I to complain? All of them are very green (like the guy on the right) but this picture picked up more of the red in most...

I just bought my first Mag Float cleaner for my tank. For years I thought they were just too over the top - why would I need one when I had my algae scrubber, right? Wrong - I just used it for the first time - glass is much cleaner than ever before - I am not wet and I didn't knock over a...

which are the two new rocks added to the tank... winner gets a free 1 year membership into the AFT

I actually got some good shots of this guy. I wish I could have placed him a little nicer to show both colors - but he just locked into this position on the base rock and is too secure to move. He is pretty much split down the middle with the bright green and pink...
