Can you guys (ladies) tell me what the two are with the arrows pointing to them?

I want to get a magnesium test kit. Is this Seachem Reef Status Magnesium, Carbonate Borate Test Kit any good? A LFS has one and I'm wondering if it's worth it. I can't remember their price but I know it was more than what DFS has it for. I'll have to check again today and see if its way...

My new brains fleshy part is basically all white. Is this normal for new growth to be all white? Is it possible that the coral is getting to much or to little light? Here is a crappy shot of the brain. I'm a crappy photographer so it was hard for me to get good shot of the white parts...

Can you guys/ladies tell me what this is growing on the live rock in my tank? They are kinda tubelike but hard. If I hit them with a stick breaks off.

Is there any kind of way I can add my reefchat ACIII live signature block to my automatic signature here? Or will this type of signature create some kind of issue with the site?

I went cruising the LFS's close to me today. I saw a couple of fish that I'd like to get. Clown tang looked real healthy in the tank and was only about 3 inches. Did a little surfing and realized it can grow to 15" and needs a lot of swimming space. So this one is a definite no go for my...

Please critique my Fish list. Keep in mind I'm not planning on running out and buying all of these fish at one time. It's mainly something for me to refer to as I visit LFS's to see what people are keeping in stock and what I really will like. I plan on eventually having some easy to keep SPS...

I'm sure some of you have heard about this as the sale has been going on at F&S for quite awhile. I figured I'd post information over here just in case somebody else wants to order some salt before the sale ends this month. You can get a 160 gal bucket of Reef Crystals for 31.99. Just go to...

I'm planning on getting a Brute trash can to mix saltwater in. I'm trying to figure out how to get it from the laundry room to the tank. I'd rather not move water back and forth in by wheeling it around on toting buckets. I'd like to get a pump and pump the saltwater through a water hose to...

Should my Overflow drain into my sump below the sump water line or above it? I like the idea of having it below the water line in my skimmer section but I wonder if that will create some kind of back pressure or something. How do you guys have yours setup?

I came across a guy on craigslist that has some "southseas base rock". He says it's been in his tank for 2 years so it's now cured. I don't usually see people talking about south seas rock so I googled it and came across a few vendors selling it. I think I already know the answer but is there...

I guess it's time for me to post a chronicle here so you guys can see what I have going on and have something to refer to when answering my dumb questions. I started this project a few months ago. I've been moving rather slow because I just buy equipment when I see deals, have cash, or get up...

And it was a success! :^: I've been putting off drilling my tank for quite a bit. Today after work I checked my measurements, got my stuff together, drank 1 beer and commenced to drill. The first hole took me a long time because I was so nervous. I time the second hole and it took me just...

Hi everybody, If I can get this skimmer (Fission Recirc Skimmer max rated for 225gal) for $120. Would this be ok for my 150 gal tank that I'm setting up? I had been planning on buying a NW200 but I came across this and I'm wondering if Fission skimmer would do the job and not have me cussing...

I could use some feedback on my plans. I mainly want to make sure I'm not overlooking something. I'm a newb to this but I've been doing some reading during over past few months. The above diagram shows where I plan on drilling my tank. The tank is a 150 gal (48" x 24" x 30"). Me and...

I'm wondering how many people have added some kinda of additional support for the added wait of their large aquariums. I figure a rough estimate of a 4ft 120 tank w/sump, rock, sand and water to be around 2500 lbs. :helm2: With me not know much about the construction of floors that seems like...

I would appreciate some help on my "current" plan. The things I've seen on Craigslist have not panned out so this is where I am now. I'm open to change anything if it makes more sense. But I'm also trying to save as much as I can. I've basically compiled this list on things I've read on...

Here's todays edition of Deal or No Deal. I've been working on my plan for an aquarium but always checking for used stuff. I came across the following: 120 gallon allglass aquarium Tank 24"w x 24"h x 48"long drilled dual returns/with all equipment, I assume this are the 1 inchers that come...

Ok, so this is the start of my new money pit. NOOB ALERT !! Been looking around in a few LFS and I don’t see anything or hear anything from the employees that impress me. I’ve been looking at a 135 gal (2 x 18 x 24) from glasscages. Or I might consider going with a 125 (72 x...

Hi everybody I'm new to Saltwater aquariums. I find my freshwater tank to be to small for the room and a bit boring. I've been surfing the web and reading a lot and I'm thinking of setting up a 90 - 120 gal. reef setup. I've always wanted a saltwater but was not ready to learn the hobby. I'm...
