Well, I have decided I think I want to add 2 halides to my 75 gallon tank. I was wondering what method of doing this is. I have seen 48 inch housings with two bulbs and think this would suit me well. What recommendations do you guys have and where can I find the cheapest setup? I am not...

How important is it that you have a skimmer? I am starting to think my skimmer has crapped out and I don't know if I really want to spend the money on a new one. As of now, it rarely gets used and today I set it up and it doesn't seem to be sucking anything out. I use the wet/dry filtration...

Well, I am in the market for some new corals and I was wondering what everyone recommended. I am not looking for anything that is extremely difficult to care for. Some color and character is what I want. I can't remember the exact number but I believe our tank has like 4.4-5 wpg. No halide...

Well, I have quickly realized that Kenya Tree Coral multiplies out of control. What do you do with all of this excess coral? I hate to just flush it but I am starting to run out of options.

Well, this is probably a stupid question, but how do I remove my corals from the frag rocks? I have a mushroom that I would like to get off but I don't want to hurt it by tugging away at it. Thanks!!

Well, once again I am dealing with a sick fish. We purchased a yellow tang almost 3 weeks ago now and he has been in the 30 gal QT since we got him. He has a great appetite and is getting fed formula 1, 2, and seaweed strips. Over the past 4 or 5 days we have noticed 4 fluffy, white spots...

Well, I am finally adding fish back to our tank and I am seeking some advice. I picked up a yellow tang today and have it in my quarantine tank. Now I am looking for a solution to our quickly growing krill and bristle worm population. I have been considering pseudochromis. I don't want to...

I know this might not be the exact place to put this post but I didn't know what other thread would be more appropriate. I have a 75 gallon tank that is my primary, a 30 gallon quarantine, and a 10 gallon hospital. Anyway, I am looking to get rid of the 30 gallon because I feel its...

Well, woke up yesterday to see our emerald crab dragging our basically lifeless starry blenny away for a snack. About 3 hours later our powder brown tang died. The tang had a bit of haze over its eye at the time of death. That left only our clown fish from when we originally started salt...

So, now that I have got everyone's input about a flame angel I have basically ruled it out. Now I am wondering what reef safe fish would be a good addition to my tank. I am looking for some color, I want to liven up the tank a bit. There is currently a clown fish, starry blenny, and a powder...

So, I have been considering getting a pygmy flame angel and I was wondering what everyone else has to say about them. I currently have a clown fish, a starry blenny, and a powder brown tang in the tank. I was wondering why the LFS does not have a warranty on the flame angel, is this a bad...

Okay, so I had a post recently on here when my entire tank turned brown and I had to move the livestock to a safe tank. Anyway, I changed approximately 40% of the water with deionized water. I also added some algae fix because I couldn't stand the smell in the house. So, the entire tank...

How does everyone keep their canopy tops cool? I haven't been able to use my canopy due to the heat the lights generate. It also doesn't help that the canopy leaves about 1/4 inch for the ballast fans to vent.

Okay, soooo......this is going to be quite the story. My tank is approximately 7 weeks old. It is a 75 gallon tank with a built in overflow and I am running a skimmer and sump and have a level 3 Hydor powerhead on the one side. The tank had 4 65w bulbs. Two 420/460 actinic and two...

My cycle has been done for about two weeks and ever since I've had this brown algae. I think it's diatom but I'm not positive. It is very easy to scrape off, but regrows and fills the 75 gal tank within a day. It looks like dust with a few strings attached. I have done many water changes...
