Hello everyone. I haven't posted here in a long time but we just purchased a Sea Goblin. I don't know much about them and can't find a lot. Can someone give me some insight? Thanks.

I got a great new camera for Xmas so I got these shots this morning...(I haven't read the manual yet...so they'll improve as I go)

I found a new critter in our tank that we DID NOT put in there...I'm afraid it's a mantis shrimp. It's scaring the crap out of me and causing nightmares. How do we get rid of it? My BF wants me to get it out by hand, but I'm petrified of it. He's out of town and I can't stand it being in...

I've been catching up on my reef reading (slow day at work) and I've noticed a lot of individuals mentioning SAT. We have had constant outbreaks of the brown algae daily since we first cycled our tank. We did have a horrible outbreak of hair algae, too, but Shrek took care of that. Will the...

Hello All, This is kind of strange....we've had a Yellow Eye Tang for about a month now. It was doing great until yesterday...I noticed that it had these white splotches on it. I took some pics and immediately ran to the fish store. They said that it looked like some kind of fungus. She...

Hi, Well, we have another emergency......our sea hare was cleaning the heater and it turned on....he fell off and inked a bit...we immediately took him out, put him in another container and did a quick water change. Everyone looks fine and is swimming around...we caught him pretty quick. My...

Hello everyone, We finally got our sump in place and going. I bought an octopus 150, 20 lbs of live sand and 20 more lbs of live rock, and a really nice expensive pump. We set up the skimmer and I had the outflow as low as it could go because the foam and water were overrunning the cup. I...

After researching a TON, I'm going with an octopus skimmer...actually, I was looking at the octopus needlewheel. I would also like to find a refugium/sump already put together...is there a good one that people know about? I need the type that goes under the tank. The ones I see at the...

Hello, I've moving into unknown territory again and feel like an imbecile. I've read and read and read on the subject of a sump. Is that a refugium, too? We want to put one under our tank. I've looked online and found one called Aquafuge pro. It includes the skimmer, too, which we need...

Well, the BF left the anenome that I told him was dying for the last three days in the tank and now my coral beauty, tang, goby and I don't know what else are dying. I've read that this happens but I can't find out what the solution is. The BF is taking all the fish out right now and enjoying...

Hello All, Well, we're humming along with our tank. I can't get the BF to quit buying critters...I yell at him all the time. He works from home and spends a lot of time buying things for the tank...he's going to ruin it if he doesn't stop it. I might enlist someone on here to write him an...

We just lost both of the Sally Lightfoots....within 8 hours...who could have done it??? The BF went out and bought a sea hare yesterday....today both the crabs are gone....I don't even know if the emeralds are okay..we can't find any of them. Water parameters are all good, just another...

Okay, can someone tell me what's going on? I already went through the brown algae phase and it's starting again. I was under the assumption that this would only happen once and then we're off to pink land. What is causing this? We just did a water change last week and it seemed to make it...

I bought a Watchman Goby! What a cool fish. Finally, a fish with a purpose. I don't know what that purpose is exactly, but he's a busy guy. We bought him yesterday and he's piled sand up against an entire rock, filled in the spaces between my live rock, dug himself a little cave, filled...

Hello everyone, I'm back! Here's what we have so far. 2 blue damsels, 1 tomato clown, 1 perc clown, 1 purple lobster, 2 sally lightfoot crabs (creepy!!), 5 emerald crabs and a gazillion snails (turbos and the ones that hide in the sand). I fell in love with a maroon clown last night, but I...

Hi Guys, Here's the tank. I think it looks great. Thoughts on the placement of the rocks?

Good morning....we made some changes and it caused some changes. We added 27 lbs of live rock yesterday and 2 more lbs of live sand. I tested the water this morning first thing and the parameters have changed now. The ammonia is still at 0, the nitrites went up to .25 and the ph is down to...

It's me again...you didn't think I'd go away for that long, did you? I went home yesterday and found brown all over my rocks and over the sand. Should I clean it out? Is it dangerous to the fish? I read another post just now about purple algae...the guy at the FS told me that the purple...

Hello again, We finally received our really expensive metal halide light yesterday and guess what, one of the flourescent lights was shattered and what I'm assuming is one of the LED lights (it's a circular piece with 8 or so tiny little bulbs in it) was broken. Instead of the hassle of...

Hello Everyone, We just set up our tank over the weekend. The first thing we did was buy 40 lbs of Live Rock (ouch! Expensive!) We're getting more but we have to absorb that $300 cost. We let that sit for a few days and took a sample to the local fish store. He tested it and said it's good...
