Ok folks, I am merging the 3g pico into a 10g here at the office, since it is my only tank right now I'll do a build and such. Equipment list to come. The extra water space left is for the water from the 3g and LR. I'll move it over once its all dissolved and temps equal out a bit. I'm hoping...

Um, Tossed a hammer into my 3g pico today, the "peppermint" has been in there with a Kenya Tree and some Zoas for about a month or more. The peppermint immediately descended on the hammer and started ripping it to shreds, I chased him off and moved the hammer, and within 5 minutes it was back to...

Title says it, someone in the office gifted this guy to me for christmas, I figured he is the right type for the nano tank, well. I have yet to see him eat, I was away on a 2 week vacation immediately after it was put in my tank, so after approx 4 weeks I have yet to see him eat, I've been...

Woooohooo

Ok eveyone I need some solid advice on how to proceed. While my finances were low my tank was on a "please don't crash mode". Now that that is passed I need to get it back in gear and better than ever. I have a massive amount of hair algae, diatoms(I think, its a brown dust on rocks and the...

Going to the lfs after we are done eating. Any suggestions for my 40g?

Will this cause a problem? I'd like to add a lawnmower to my 40g, already have a small scooter blenny.

I am looking for a manufacturer for a 12''x12''x12'' acrylic cube. Anyone know one? Other than glasscages, 100$ plus shipping is a bit much for something I could probably DIY for 20.

This morning I was looking at my tank and I noticed little puffs of white dust coming from my rock, I got closer and I saw three snails puffing white milky looking stuff which I can only assume was sperm/eggs. Anyone else witness this? It was pretty cool.

So I notice these two little guys yesterday as the lights were coming on, and again tonight. The are crawling around on the rocks around coral but not really taking any interest in them..they were on the glass the first morning... My wife has the laptop out of town so I cannot get the images...

I have a mushroom that came on a piece of deadcoral rock, it is all branchy and what not. What would be the best way to remove the coral from the rock and relocate it?

So, please don't skin me alive for asking this. Would it be ok to have a super duper ultra mega crazy small baby yellow tang in my 40g tank? It is the tall variety(23'' tall) 36'' long. I know it will outgrow my tank and I think the bonsai approach is cruel, but I have plans on a VERY large...

I am trying to gather some information for a project I am about to start. I would like to know from each of you, when you purchase Live Rock would you prefer to know the rock is (A) Devoid of any hitchhikers(good or bad) and only have the bacteria needed to make it live. (B) Posses...

No pictures so it may or may not have actually happened. But I did a weekly water top off today.

I am in the beginning stages of my upgrade tank that will happen around when I buy our new house. I am wondering if anyone knows the maximum water depth metal halide is effective enough to support sps growth, and if there is a lighting technology other than MH more effective? Cost will not be a...

I am not sure what the little round with tentacles, almost clear things are. There are like 10 or so on the rock.

So, I have added probably 10 snails in the last 2 months, they do well until they leave the glass, the moment they hit the sand or rock my hermits(normally 4-6 of them) gang the snail and have the shell cleaned out in an hour or so....They don't use the shells there are shells just littering the...

So anyone that has read my build threads knows that I want to get a green mandarin. Obviously they have certain dietary needs that make adding them in a new tank difficult. I recently added 2k-4k tigerpods to my DT(no fuge or sump yet but I will be adding a 10g sump with fuge section this...

So, setting up my sump. For the first time. I have it all working as it should, water going down south via siphon plumbing, water coming back up via return pump....my issue how on earth do I get these pump rates equal? I have a ball valve on the siphon(it is more powerful than my return just...

need to wait before I can say my Zoa is fine with my tank as is? I don't want to add any other corals until I know my zoa is going to be ok(it is my very first one) it has mostly opened up over the last 3 days some polyps haven't fully extended yet. If my water was bad would a Zoa just melt...
