    Ordering online or shopping at LFS?

    I am wondering about ordering online vs. buying at the LFS. I know you have a greater variety of things to choose from online, but you can see exactly what you are getting at the LFS. Opinions?

    Ange Pico Contest

    I can't wait to get mine and get started with some stuff I can't put in my 75 until I get new lights! Is it Nov. 1 yet?

    More rock and sand?

    I have a 75 gallon tank and what seems to be on the low side for rock and sand. I would like to add to my rock and sand but my question is do I go with live or dead? I think that the tank could use some new life, if you know what I mean, since the trigger I had apparently ate everything he...

    Need a new light and need help!

    I got a 75 gallon full setup a few months ago but the light fixture that came with it doesn't completely work. Only one light will come on which has been fine so far. However, I want to start creating a reef and know that I need actinic light for that. I took the fixture to my LFS and they...

    Emerald crabs

    I made my first new tank purchase today! I picked up two little emerald crabs. I acclimated them and once they were in the tank, they went right to work! They are very small but are working hard.

    Live sand addition

    I rearranged my tank and brought my sand forward so that I could place my rock on the bottom of my tank and build up from there. My question is, I like the depth of the sand in the front of my tank but there are still areas in the back where the sand level is very low. I feel like my rock will...

    Ange's 75 gallon

    This is my first SW tank. I bought it through an ad on Craig's List. I think I got a screaming hot deal for the amount of stuff I got. This is how I put the tank back together when I got it home. My main concern at that time was getting everything back in the water.

    Setting my rock

    When I brought home the tank I bought through Craig's List, it already had sand in the bottom of the tank. As I set the tank back up, I just put the rock back on top of the sand. I read that it is better to set the rock on the glass of the tank and then put the sand in. Since I need to clean...

    New little speedy critters in my tank

    I have spent a bit a time (ha ha) staring at my tank this evening and notice some previously unseen critters. They remind me of little white sand fleas you see at the beach. They don't seem to get along with the brittle sea stars reaching out of the crevices in my rock. The biggest one is maybe...

    Live rock cleaning question

    I got a lot of live rock with my tank setup I purchased through Craig's List and the guy said that he hadn't been doing great maintenance. The rock seems to have this tan, fuzzy stuff growing on it. I have no idea if this is good fuzzy stuff or bad fuzzy stuff. It certainly doesn't LOOK nice...

    New-to-me fish said to have ich

    I bought a 75 gallon tank set up last week from someone on Craig's List. I also got a 30 gallon qt in the deal. The previous owner said that the powder blue tank had recently been bought and had ich. He had all of the fish (6) in the qt and had treated it with copper. All of the fish are...

    Hello all!

    My name is Ange, I just got my tank last week. I made one of those wonderful Craig's List purchases and came home with a 75 gallon tank, stank, and everthing. The tank was in use when I got there so we dismantled everything, loaded it in my car, and I came home and put it all back together. I...
