Something is making my RBTA look weird. A few of the tentacles look 'bruised' or nipped/crimped. What's going on? My hunch is the peppermint shrimp. Nitrates: 0 Phosphates: 0.2 Calcium: 420 ppm Temp: 80.0 Salinity: .025 Tank inhabitants: 3 peppermint shrimp, one clownfish (not hosting), and...

Found this guy next to my mushroom and Zoas. There seam to be a lot of them. I'm thinking Sundial Snail?

I recently got two small frags, a Zoa and a Ricordia mushroom, and they all looked fantastic for about two days until they started to show signs of stress; heads closing up and mushroom curling into itself. Another 24 hours go by and things get worse, I see some of the 'buttons' on the Ricordia...

Hey guys, I'm planning a 125g tank and was wondering if anyone had used the XR30W Ecotech LED fixture before. When I was reefing a few years ago, I don't remember these guys being on the market and they look FANCY. Also, do you guys think I could get away with two fixtures on a 125?

Hey guys! I'm back! I dont know when the last time I posted on these forums, but I'm excited to start again! I also can't wait to see everyone's tanks that I remember from a few years ago; so fun! Just a little about me and my aquarium history... I've maintained a 55 gallon reef build...

Hey guys! I haven't been here in a while because of the stuff I've been doing with school and work, and I'm in the process of moving; which means I have to take down the Tank for an extended amount of time. :( So, what I have to do is sell off my Live Rock. I have about 100 lbs of Fiji...

My aunt came by and dropped this off! I have no clue what it is!

My first fish purchase will be a attempted trio of Bartlett's Anthias; but, of coarse, I've run into two problems. 1. Live Aquaria doesn't sell the fish as a trio, and I might get 2 males and a female or (heaven forbid) 3 males... 2. I'm not sure how to acclimate them, and get them started on...

So I was talking to one of my NJ reef members and I tried to strike up a deal for some SPS frags and I need to know if this is a bargain or not. Quote from my e-mail ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SPS list and pics. tubs blue and jokers. 10 frags...

First off, I would like to apologize for not being around of late. I've been having some trouble at the house, and might have take the tank down. But, of coarse, that doesn't stop me. I'm putting an order in for a trio of Chromis and a Trio of Anthias (not to be added until later). I partial...

Just added them about an hour ago and here's what it looks like. 10 Astrea snails 2 Mexican Turbo Snails 10 Nassarius snails 5 Cerith Snails 4 Scarlet Hermit Crabs And here's the scoop... Astrea snails: All looked good in bag, came out fine, moved a bit, some on the wall but now none seem to...

So, I found my states reef club forum and I've been browsing the "for sale" forums, and I found a thread with a guy who's selling ALOT of coral I would LOVE to get my hands on. I'm just gonna try to post the link to the thread here, but I doubt it'll work. I was looking at getting... ORA...

When I bought my Mushrooms and Chaeto at the LFS, I also bought myself a Coral Banded Shrimp. I didn't quite fully understand this guy and thought "hey, a shrimps a shrimp, right?" Well, after I red a few things, I heard these guys can get a little mean around other small fish and some ofthe...

I just got my first Coral! Spotted mushroom! (I think... :p) Yah! So, I just put them in the tank an hour ago, and I'm keeping the lights off. They're still closed, is that normal? When should I see them open?

So I want to add some Chaetomorpha to my tank... I have a wet-dry bellow my tank that used to have bio-media but I took it out for the obvious reasons. My plans were to put the Chaeto in the chamber were the bio-balls were; sounds like an idea? Also, what kind of lighting should I put on the...

This has been growing on my LR for the last few weeks, assuming it was Coralline. Lately, though, I have been second guessing myself thinking that it could be Red Slime, even though it is directly in path of my K2's flow. It's very hard to tell by the color, also... Any thoughts?

So, I just got back from a 2 day vacation with my brother at the University of Delaware, helping him pack up to come home. I left my tank in good condition, with some small brown diatom probelsm and thought I would give a little rest from me. I come home... and good lord! THE BROWN! It's eaten...

I've been looking around on Amazon.com and ritzcamera.com for a DSLR camera. and looking at different reviews and prices but none seem to be specific about the medium that I want to take it for. My reef! So I thought I would ask you guys and see what works for you and see if I might work for...

I ordered myself a AquaC Remora Pro Skimmer from Nathan, and let me tell you something. This guy is amazing. Like, out-of-his-mind amazing. Not only was the price of the Skimmer matched to the lowest online store (if not lower) but also adding the Living Reefs 10% discount made it even less...
