We just got our first corals and fish and two of the corals we got are smal zoa frags (the other is silver pulsing xenia) and the person we got them off of said they shouldn't need feed anything. his system is much larger than mine 3000 gallon coral farm, so i'm figuring he has alot more stuff...

We got this little guy as a hitch hiker and we are pretty darn sure he's an emerald crab, but we just want to make sure.

so i've got 2 koralia #3s and the return from my mag 5 in the sump are my only flow in the tank (75 Gallon). the overflow box hangs just to the right of center and it is the CPR CS 90. right now we don't have any rocks in there so i just have one koralia on each end so the water is basically...

we're getting our 75 set up and we went with the 48" nova extreme pro. it's working out pretty good so far. i was just wondering if there are bulbs we could change to for a little different color. the bulbs that come with it(3 - 10000k sunlights and 3- 460 actinics) completely change the color...

ok, i'm building a sump/refugium out of a 20 gallon long tank for my 75 gallon tank. i had decided to use 4 sheets of glass for the bubble trap(3 sheets) and the divider between the fuge and the return area(1 sheet). i siliconed in the sheet that would be the middle of the bubble trap. i did it...

well, i've finally got it all figured out...sort of. if the weather cooperates i'll be leak testing the tank tonight or tomorrow. i'm ordering the glass for the refugium tonight(it's a 20 gallon long) and i've gotta either order the plumbing stuff or just get it from home depot. it's a 75...

i went with the 48 inch nova pro and i have some questions. the mounting legs are wider than the fixture, is there a way to secure them so they won't slide back out now that they are adjusted to fit the tank? also, the package came with four little black rubber knobs, what are these for? the...

Ok, i got my equipment from foster & smith and the next project is a sump. the plan right now is a 600 GPH over flow down the the sump. the first chamber will have the feed line from the over flow and the pump and return from my skimmer. i have the CSS 125 and my plan is to have it behind the...

The live rock at the fish store doesn't look too bad other than most of it is covered with red...it looks almost like algea. how bad is this and should i stay away from it simply because of the red stuff. I know it's hard to say what it is without seeing it, but it's basically a really dark...

So, my in-laws were out Christmas shopping for the kids and my wife and i ate lunch with them. we had asked them for a stand for the 55 we were going to setup. so, we go to look at the stands and because of a big sale there it was 55 dollars more to get us a stand and a 75 gallon tank and stuff...

So, i've got a 55 gallon tank. i'm going to use the octopus 100ss protein skimmer and 2 koralia 1 power heads. would that be enough flow? can you guys give me a guess of about how much sand it would take to cover the bottom with about 2-3 inches? finally, i know it's called a fish only for...

I'm going to be staring up my 55 gallon as soon as i decide what equipment i want to you. would you guys recommend me a good refugium for 55 gallon reef. it can be hand on or i'll try to fit it in the cabinet. thanks guys
