I was moving around some corals in the tank and a colony of polythoas was torn in the process, since it seperated i took the bigger peice and left it in the tank and the smaller area was on a larger rock that had some other undersirables on it. So i salt pasted the few poly's left on that rock...

In my tank i have some large grey zoanthids that I believe there was one 1 of back in april on a rock full of beatuiful oranges and greens. They nice ones did spread but the grey ones took over the surrounding area and stopped the growth of the others. Is there a way to remove these zoanthids...

Hey everybody, I haven't been on here for awhile so hello to everyone again. In my 20 gallon thread back in April I said i went up to a 75 but didn't make a thread because its temporary well yesterday I received some rock and made the tank quite pleasing instead of the plastic racks holding my...

I have 2 24" 135 watt Current Sattelite Dual light fixtures, i have recently upgraded my tank and had to get new lights because of depth. The bulbs in the fixtures still have 4 months in them. I have successfully kept LPS and one SPS coral under these lights with good growth. I am asking $80...

So i was sitting up late last night and i had the lights off in my office here and was looking into the tank to see what i could see with the moonlights on. My frogspawn coral was emitting a spawn cloud for about 1-2 minutes every 5 minutes 2 or three times as i saw. So this morning i did a...

I am looking at these Metal Halide fixtures and T5's trying to figure out what to buy and it seems difficult to figure out what power is needed for certain depth tanks. I cant find any information on what HQI MH wattage is good for 25" depth and whether or not a T5 fixture on that would give me...

Im trying to figure out how to set up overflows on a tank with predilled holes for 1 inch bulkheads on the back glass. The center of the hole is about 4 inches down from the top and 1.5 inches from the sides. There is 2 holes one of each side of the back glass so 2 corner overflows. Really my...

My tank is 3 months old now and the diatoms have been around for about 2 weeks now. Every night the sand is cleaned by the snails and crabs it looks great when the lights come on and in about 2 hours there is a fully blown mat all over again. I beginning to think that something my water is...

Ok, my coral beauty only has ick at night. When the lights come on in the morning he is covered in ick mouth to anal fin. And within a few hours he is no longer covered in white but with unpigmented spots. I suspect the other fish are stressing him at night he is with 3 damsels. Any thoughts to...

Does anyone here use kent sea salt? I was wondering how it is because i have 100 gallons of it and i didnt plan on using it but why not if its ok on levels.

Today at the fish store i saw a large vlamangi tang and a large pink tailed trigger $40 i mean WWOWOOWW i wish i had a tank for that. I didnt think i would like them as much but now me and my parents like them so much i think my dad may go by a tank just to put the two in lol. I think they are...

Im looking for an encrusting coral to grow under PC lighting. Zoas look good when fully open. Is there any encrusting LPS that i could put close to the surface on my upper rock and have enough light for good color or should i skip that?

Is 2 250w mh lights to much light for a 40 gallon? (Not worried about heat i have a chiller). And should i supplement with t5s or just use the mh with no t5s? Im looking at the Current Outer Orbit 2x250w or 2x150 36" lighting fixture as it seems to come out cheaper than retro kits and lunar led's.

I have seen my coral beauty come and give a peck at my mushrooms twice now, but there is no visible damage to the coral. Is it eating it or something on it?

Does anyone think it would be possible to remove the rims from a tank to make it rimless? Its not any larger than rimless tanks i can find online.
