I've owned a splendid leopard wrasse for 2 years. She's doing great, eating well. I am thinking about adding more splendid leopard wrasses. I was going to add just one more, but there is a local reefer selling a trio of females for a great price. My aquarium is only 50 gallons. What do you all...

My NEW LIGHTS!!!!!! Ecoray 60D LED Fixture:

I noticed these weird tentacle things in my 47 gallon the other day. They are clearish white in color. They seem to be attached to the LR, and just blow gently in the current. Any ideas?

I've been trying to find and read up on all LED fixtures in the $300 range. I've been looking at the Ecoray 60D and Slim Line-S, but I'm worried the leds on the Ecoray 60D are too focused and will bleach my livestock (the PAR reading is REALLY high on the Ecoray fixtures), and I don't like that...

Anyone have Sunbrite leds, or heard anything about them? SUNBRITE LIGHTING SYSTEMS INC-Slim Line

I just recently set up a new 47 gallon aquarium that I would like to turn into a macroalgae tank, but I haven't chosen what lights to run on the aquarium yet. I've been looking at led fixtures. I thought about doing a DIY led, but I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather just buy one I think...

I posted a couple of months ago about my Devil's Armor Palys shriveling up and excreting brown strings of :pooh:. Well, sadly, they've never recovered. Over the last few months they've continued to shrivel and look worse. I'm posting this in the ID section because I noticed this yellow-brown...

One of the projects that I want to take on this summer is turning my current sump into a more proper sump (with baffles, a refugium, etc.). Right now I just have a 20 gallon long aquarium with all of my equipment in it as my sump, and I'd like to change that. This a drawing of what I had in...

I set-up my new 47 gallon aquarium with LR from two local reefers. The LR looks good, but there are a few things that I haven't seen before and need you all's help identifying... First off, several pieces of LR had what seems to be some sort of white sponge on it. I scrubbed a lot of it off...

Are DJ Power Strips surge protectors as well? :question:

I bought a new 47 gallon aquarium :mrgreen:, and am working on getting it ready to go. I used 5 bags of live sand from Drs. F&S and 1 bag of dry sand, and LR from a guy who just broke down his tank. I haven't broken out the test kits yet, but some zoas, palys, xenia, and some other stuff that...

When I feed my fish, a good amount of the food gets sucked up by the overflow. Do you all have this problem? For those of you who may have experienced this, do you turn off your return pump so that the overflow stops? Does turning the pump off everytime you feed kill the motor after a while?

I'm going to buy new T5 bulbs for my 50 gallon. I run a Nova Extreme Pro (6 bulbs) on the aquarium, and am currently just running the stock bulbs that came with the fixture. What brand of T5 would you all recommend? I had a reefer suggest both ATI and Giesemann bulbs to me; what are you all's...

I've been seeing these puffy little oblong-shaped things in my aquarium for over a month now. They are white in color with a grayish/purplish tint. I thought it was just a few of them because they blended in with the LR, but upon closer inspection this afternoon, there's a TON of them! I guess...

Something has gone wrong in my 50 gallon aquarium, and I have no idea what's up. About 75% of my corals have expelled their zooxanthellae and lost practically all of their color. However, all of their polyps are expanded and look happy...? For example, while some of my acros have lost their...

Does anyone use Current's Truelumen LED Lunar Lights? I've been trying to find the lifespan of the leds in these fixtures; does anyone know? Thanks.

Okay, so I've got a whole bunch of Marineland Stealth Pro heaters that are being recalled, and I have Drs. F&S sending me Fluval M Heaters as replacements...BUT, I'm iffy about the Fluval M Heaters because 1) They're glass 2) I'm reading that they aren't fully submersible. So... 1. Does...

I think some of my API test kits have expired, and was wondering how to verify this. I see a LOT number near the top of the bottles. Is that the expiration date?

My Devil's Armor Palys have been looking kinda funny the past couple of days. Today they look really bad. The polyps are all pointy-shaped, and some polyps are closed. Anyone know what's wrong with them? Parameters: Temp: 79 Salinity: 1.0245 Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrates: <5 ppm Alkalinity: 10 dkh...

I run 11.74 oz of chemi-pure elite and 100 ml of purigen in my 20L sump for my 50 gallon DT. How often should I replace the chemi-pure elite and the purigen?:question:
