All She has in the rear chamber is some LR and some chaeto there is no kind of mechanical filtration in the tank. Could that be part of the problem and should I still wash out the chaeto and LR? What size powerheads would you reccomend for this tank? I think the one that's in it is a korlia 1...

Thanks for all the input guys. I changed her lights about a month or two ago because one of the bulbs went out so it's got pretty fresh bulbs in it. I will go try to pick up a test kit that tests for ammonia sometime this weekend and I'll let you guys know how that tests when I get it. For her...

I only remember three types of fish she added but im pretty sure there were more than that, the first was a yellow watchman goby, the second was a six line wrasse, and the third was some green chromis and i think there were three cromis. the goby and the six line lasted around a week and the...

hey guys its been a while since ive been on here because i have taken down all my salt tanks but anyways i need help. I set up a biocube 29 for my mom somewhere around a year or two ago and shes been having problems with it. ever since the tank has been set up any fish she's added have...

I got a new blenny last weekend. They said it was a midas blenny but upon further research i cant find another fish that looks like this. its definitely a blenny of some type but does anyone have any more info than that. its body is mostly black with some blue markings on its face.

ok thanks biff. im gonna try to keep it alive in the bucket because its actually my moms tank and she hates the way they look. im probably gonna set my own tank up again pretty soon so hopefully it will live till then!

well upon further inspection the green thing is a starfish so i gues i would like to know if he would be safe in my tank of not. its green with white bands and it is kinda furry like most brittle starfish but the red thing is just a single strand that keeps moving around i kinda wonder if it is...

I got some new live rock in hopes of turning the bioball nitrate factory in the second chamber of my biocube 29 into a refugeum. The guy i got the rock from is a good friend of mine that actually has a really nice reef setup but thats not what im here for. lol after inspecting his tank closely...

Thanks for the tip Biff. I checked my tank today with a digital volt meter and it was reading about 3v in the tank. I couldnt locate the source though. I unplugged everything one by one like the article says but it never went down. If i turn off the power strip everythings plugged into the...

I had questioned the accuracy of my liquid test kit because of the fact it was a couple years old so finally today i went out and bought a new one. I had noticed a few issues in my tank that signaled that there was a problem. First my zoa frags that i got one of them has not been opened in about...

OK OK i know i have been posting alot of basically useless ID threads lately but this one is kinda odd and when i see something in my tank i didnt put there it kinda scares me. lol so anyway i have been mysteriously been finding what i am pretty sure are dead hermit crabs in my tank. but heres...

ok maybe i will post some new pics in a while when the polyps open more. Thanks alot for the link though! I will browse through there and see if i can find something

that is really cool. i watched some vids on youtube about those porcelain crabs theres one where he just sits there and gaurds his anemone. I know what im gettin if i ever upgrade! oh and thanks for the pic Biff! but as interesting as those are can we get back to the ID? id still like to know...

yeah actually that was supposed to be a joke. lol its now apparent that i suck at telling jokes. that is really interesting though that there are crabs that do that. ive heard of pistols kinda being hosted by gobies but never an inver hosting something else. do you know any specific names of...

Ok so seems how my new frags are finally opening far enough to actually see and i happen to love taking pics of them i would like to see if anyone can identify the type they are. im not really not knowledgeable of all the zoa names so heres a few pics. for those who have not seen my last thread...

ok thanks for the speedy reply Biff. i wasn't sure. they opened a brand new box of bags when i was there and i wonder if when the bags were in storage this guy crawled in there and died. the store was pretty busy when i was there so i can see how they missed it, but im glad it wasnt i n with my...

i just got a new conch from my LFS and when i pulled the bag out i found this little guy in there with it. im not really sure if its a SW bug or not it kinda looks like a general beetle but it wasnt actually in the water. the LFS double bags everything and it was in between the two bags. so it...

so after taking my plunge back into the SW world i have purchased my first coral frag its a zoa. some of you may have seen my other post in the coral section. it has been about 4-5 days since i bought it and the polyps have still not fully opened but everyday they keep opening further and...

ok thanks for the replies guys. when i said water from my previous tanks i actually meant everything i just didnt want to type all that. lol i used water rock and sand from my previous 120. Also i have been testing nitrate which was at about 10 yesterday but i added a ball of cheato (not Biffs...

so a couple of days ago i decided to take the next step with my sw tank and get a coral. I went down to a trusted LFS and bought a little zoa frag with two types of zoas on it and about 5-10 polyps on it. i drip acclimated them for about 30min and set them high in the tank. despite what my...
