I have a bunch of these on the side of my tank with my live rock (other side is filled with seagrass) and I really have no idea what they are. Pictures below:

So I need to make green water, due to some unexpected seahorse babies I don't have a lot of time to get a culture up and going. I ordered some online along with some rotifers but I am not sure how long it may last so that being said Miracle Grow is a must but I am not entirely sure how much to...

Well my older pair of Erectus were sneaky little gits and had babies. When I went to empty out the skimmer and pull out some of the cheato in my sump I found that the cheato was just covered in baby seahorses! After about an hour and a half my wife and I managed to get them all out and into a...

So I have an MP40 in my tank, I also have 4 seahorses so the MP40 always has one of the sponge covers or sleeves on it to prevent my little guys from losing a tail. The problem I am having is that the sponge gets clogged easily, reducing the flow from the MP40 significantly. Not to mention...

Wife and I went around to a few LFS's today looking for some of the first corals for our tank since I'm finally happy that there is no algae growth at all and all the parameters are stable and good. (Upgraded to a 90G about 6 months ago) We came across this at one of the stores and it really...

So one of the semi local fish stores near me began carrying Giesemann bulbs and my 8 bulb Nova fixture has been running for close to 6 months now so I think I'm going to replace the stock bulbs. So my tank has seagrass in it, about 2/3 of the tank is seagrass and the end 1/3 is more typical...

Father in law asked my wife and I want we wanted to Chirstmas. Our answer? Another pair of seahorses! Upgraded to a 90 gallon about 6 months ago and it has finally settled in and I felt comfortable stocking it up a bit more. Ordered them from Seahorse Source (I wouldn't recommend anyone...

Re-designing my sump a bit and I plan on turning an area of it into a grow area for cheato to eat up extra nutrients. I have been considering two options and I am curious as to peoples impressions of them. First option I am thinking about is getting one of the cheap Oydssea Metal Halide...

I have a DSB in my 90 gallon (About 6 inches) and as the tank gets a bit more mature (5 months and counting now with some new rock and some well aged rock from my old 55 gallon) I was looking into getting some more critters to move the sand around a bit and keep it clean. I have a lot of Nass...

Question for someone else that has a pistol shrimp. I recent got one with two gobies for my tank. The other day I had to move the LR in the tank to catch a Blenny that I am giving away and in the process disturbed the shrimp and goby home. So the next day I see evidence that they are home...

I recently upgraded my tank to a 90 gallon and I was lucky enough to find a pair of Steinitz gobies with a pistol shrimp already grouped with them on Divers Den. I got them and 5 Red Spot cardinelfish and eventually got them all into my 90 gallon that already had a Firefish in it. The Firefish...

Upgrading from a 55 Gallon. My new 90: Not a whole lot of live rock and a bunch of seagrass. I've got Turtle grass, Manatee Grass, and Shoal grass in there. Hoping they all grow well but thought I would cover my all my bases just in case some didn't. Splitting the return from a QuietOne pump...

Just about finished setting up my new 90 gallon tank. I just have to install the algae scrubber I built for it. Summary of new set: I am upgrading from a 55 gallon and I had live rock curing for months in a spare 20 gallon I had so there should not be any cycling issues since basically I am...

Thinking of setting up a seagrass tank and I was trying to ensure proper nutrients for the grasses. I have and have had several planted freshwater tanks and used all kinds of different planted substrates with success but was wondering if it would be safe to do a layer of a substrate designed for...

Ok maybe I'm missing something but in looking around for 6-8 bulb T5 fixtures for my 90 gallon I'm finding a fair bit of variance and was wondering if anyone could explain to me why. For instance a 48 in. IceCap Reef Illuminations fixture with 6 bulbs and 2 tubular LED moonlights is about $650...

Upgrading to a 90G with a corner overflow and I've planned out a DIY sump/fuge/algae scrubber setup I'd like some feed back on. Plans are below. Suggestions/comments/whatever are welcome and wished for. This is the first time I'm setting up a sump so I want to be sure I didn't miss anything...

Setting up a new 90 gallon once I get the new flooring down in my basement as an upgrade from my 55g and I have been thinking about getting a Vortech setup but I have some concerns and I was hoping there may be a few people out there with these pumps that can help out. My new 90 gallon is...

I am upgrading to a 90 gallon from my 55 in about a months time and since I do not have any plans to really increase my live stock quickly I figured that I would just go with some dry rock and save myself some money as the 80 pounds of live rock I have currently should be able to seed it easily...

All kinds of kits out there but when ever I look at the info on them it always is a 1/4 in connection. My coralife RO unit uses a 3/8 in input, the connections between the different stages of the RO unit and the water and waste outputs are all 1/4 in. What I don't get is for a float system...

I am setting up a new tank in the a couple of months and I am going to plumb a refugium into the system but I was wondering if anyone can make any recommendations on how to ensure that a fairly steady stream of copepods and amphipods make it into the main tank. Pods do not seem to be attracted...
