Hello guys this is my tank 3 months in. I have made some changes to the rock structure. I felt my rock work was not open enough...especially for a coral beauty. Coralline spots are showing up on my dead rock and I've added a few creatures. I recently added a coral beauty, cardianl bangai, and...

Thanks....I hate to be a statistic with the blue cleaner.....:(

Here is an update on my tank guys, im 2 months into the game now. Next items up, a protein skimmer, and some more coral. So far I only have the mushrooms you see at the bottom left which are doing great. Edit: blue cleaner wrasse sadly vanished, however I have two healthy ocellaris.

Thanks all, I went with a pair :)

Ok will do. Do they act differently or prefer to be in pair?

Is there any advantage to having a pair of clownfish as opposed to having one? Petco has a sale on clownfish tomorrow for 12.99 the true percula. I always see people get pairs so im trying to see if I should get two cheap perculas or one.

I do plan on getting a protein skimmer soon. However in the mean time I placed the bio-chem Zorb pads in my filter and it seems to be clearing the water up fast!. I think i just needed to change to a different filter media other than the default one which has barely any carbon.

So here are some pics of my tank. It's a 40 gallon and has been running for 1 month and 11 days. Currently in the tank I have 1 Firefish 1 Blue Cleaner Wrasse 1Royal Gramma 2 Chromis 1 Sally Lightfoot Crab 2 Large Hermit Crabs 1 Arrow Crab 3 Turbo Snails 1 Feather Duster 1 Chocolate chip...

If I chose the dishonest route I would have never told you all about my anenome ;).

Glad to see you sharpening those copy n paste skills!

I have about 25 ponds of live rock and just added two more pounds recently. I have no slimmer. My marinelans filter is the one for 70 gallons. Ph is 8.0 ammonia is 0 nitrite is 0 and nitrates seem slightly above 0, like 1 ppm. Its definitely not 5ppm as the test tube didn't get tha dark orange...

Day 11 he's doing great. Always opened.

Im 26 days into my cycle, and a couple of days ago my water got super cloudy. Now this happened before earlier on in my cycle, but now it has happened again, and coincided with a large outbreak of diatoms and hair algae. I check my water and everything is perfect, ph, nitrate, nitrite, and...

i was thinking about getting rid of that damsel...lol

thanks a lot. Im feeding instant ocean marine blend the little packets that you squeeze the stuff out. they seem to like it. I don't have a protein skimmer, is it about time to get a clean up crew or what?

Ok first I wanna say no flaming. I understand the typical process of starting a reef tank, but everyone has a slightly different way and no way is 100% right. I admit I cycled with damsels. My 2 chromis and pink smith damsel are doing fine 18 days in. My 40 gallon with its 70 gallon marineland...

i am now showing 0 in ammonia, 0 in nitrites, and 0 in nitrates, i have been up and running for 13 days, am I ready?

still cycling.... are any of you familiar with the saltwater testing kits that come with the tubes. It allows you to test ammonia nitrite nitrate ph and high range ph. I have that kit, it's the one petco uses to test the water (not the strips) well anyways Im having a weird issue. It's been 13...

Ok so while im waiting for my tank to cycle I decoded to make a list of what I want. 1) purple fire fish 2) percula clown pair 3) red and white scooter blenny 4) flame angel 5) exquisite fairy wrasse 6 my current four blue chromis Would appreciate all opinions

Hey, I have a 40 gallon tank that has been running for approximately 7 days. I have 5 Blue/Green Chromis, one Pink Smith Damsel, one Crab, Live Rock, and Live sand. I have two power heads and one Marineland power filter that filters 70 gallons. The first couple days the water was very cloudy...
