I'm understanding what everyone told me about the first year being a little rough. I have JUST finished fighting off some jelly algae, and now I have some questions about my declining corals. I originally thought that they were in trouble because of the algae, but I need to know if I have a...

Hey guys, For the past few weeks (more like a month or two), I have been battling this nasty algae. I feel like it's different than that diatoms I had when the tank first went up... although it is brownish red. This stuff forms into a thick, kinda slimey film all over the sand and climes up...

Hey Guys, I've been away for a while and just noticed something new in my tank. It was hard to get a clear shot of it, and it doesn't move. Can you tell me what this is? In the second pic there is another one above it. In other news, I've got some new tankmates to introduce. The...

Hey guys, So - I now have a few corals in the tank, and all are doing really well. Well, they all are doing really well except for one. I'll put some pics up later, but I have three zoas and a frogspawn. One of the zoas was in the bottom 3rd of my tank and stopped opening. I recently...

I know this question has been answered a number of times, but I need help finding some lights for my tank. It's a 36 gallon bowfront (30x15x21). Most of the fittings I find are 36 inches across, so I'm not sure if I'll have to get a pendant. Also, I'm debating on MH or T5's - still not sure...

Hi guys, I bought my first test kit and wanted to run my levels by everyone to see if they are safe and see if I need to do anything right now. I have not yet done a water change in my tank, I think I will probably do one on Sunday. Also, there is some brown algae (I think) on my sand and...

I just bought my first fish for a freshly cycled tank yesterday. 3 blue/green chromis. I let them acclimate, then released them into the tank. Immediately, all three hid behind the rocks (normal...), but when they decided to come out around 30 minutes later, only two came out. There is...

Hi There, I'm James, and brand new to the hobby. I recently purchased a 35 gallon tank and finished cycling my tank yesterday! :bounce: I am looking forward to learning a lot more about my tank and bringing home some great and healthy fish and critters. My goal is to eventually move to...
