Anyone use one. I already have the Hydor Smartwave and love it especially for the price and how much you can hook up. I own all Hydor pumps and now the Hydor Smart Level seems to be pretty good and again for a super low price considering similar items are over $200. I did email them to ask...

I decided to use Purigen along with my GFO and Carbon. So I searched all over for set ups/how to for it and it seems the majority of what I could find opted for not using a reactor due to the fine texture and issues of leakage. I purchased a 2 Little Fishes 150 to pair with my 550 I have filled...

I had purchased 3 no name brand LEDs just for accent lighting and they failed to even penatrate the water so I found these for only $26 each free shipping. I was shocked when I opened the box how thick and well built and heavy duty these were. Each LED has the optic on it and they are very...

I have a 220gal with about 20 fish and 40 corals. I do not typically have any issues but I would like some discussion on this. If I took out half the fish would my water be easier to maintain and my corals easier to keep healthy? I am not having issues I jus want to hear some thoughts and...

LFS suggested it when I went looking for some of my usual. I have already read it is fine to use and no it is not flavored. Not a rookie haha but does anyone use it. $2 is far cheaper for .44oz that $8 for the .80 oz I was getting and the fish ate it quick. Anyone who wastes a ton at the LFS...

So I have finally decided, screw LED's for my system. Not only because they are far overpriced but worth the investment I suppose down the road but not one store I purchase corals from grows them exclusively on LED's. Yeah they may use the on their displays but the corals in there do not need...

When I first started in this "Hobby" I started out with a Red Sea complete test kit. It only took weeks of testing to figure out that the kit was bad and was kindly replaced by Fosters and Smith and again the Red Sea kit was bad. I swapped over to API which was great an then finally stocked up...

Just took this the other day because I am thinking of selling my Hippo Tang. It has just made it near impossible to keep certain fish and it is getting large even in my 220Gal. It does not seemed cramped to me besides the fact it would probably enjoy the whole ocean. Nothing is final and I have...

Just happened to catch my smaller Starfish upside down and snapped some pix. Never seen them do that before. The other is the larger (3")Starfish who seems to go inside that shell it seems ofter. 4 by Phastroh1, on Flickr 2 by Phastroh1, on Flickr 1 by Phastroh1, on Flickr 3 by...

This is my GFO tumbling. I normally have it just a hair lower but I replaced it and was making this as a reference because I have never been able to find videos if the right and wrong tumble just descriptions. You can see about 3 inches down moving but this typically dies down some after a day...

Now before anyone cries about this video know this. I thought my tank had been Rock Crab free since moving over 2 or so years ago. I had my 2 very large Montipora die after switching to Red Sea Pro Salt so I finally was removing the dead corals of the rock because they were getting some growth...

Deepest corals in Great Barrier Reef discovered | Fox News

I bought this coral for about $25 probably 2+ years ago. It was tiny but now it is super big and I have been debating getting rid of it AKA selling it. It is roughly 14"-16" wide and about 8" deep and about 8" tall or so. It shrinks down pretty small at night but it is HUGE!!! Can't really...

I got this about 9 months ago when it was really tiny and it has been tooling around the tank and getting large. Never really knew what kind it was but it has yet to ever eat any coral because I have none missing. Now that it is getting big I am a little concerned it could eat something. Looks...

I have been using Reef Crystals for over 2 years. My biggest complaint was the sludge it left in my Brute Cans and the smell of it. I decided to switch salts to the Red Sea Pro Salt. 2 Changes in I noticed corals dying. One of my huge Montis is all but dead and so is the piece I grew from it...

I have had this Bubble Coral for about 2 years. It came with a few mushrooms on the bottom as you can see in the photo. It was originally 2 small, small baby shrooms and has grown into a bunch of decent size ones totally covering the rock. The other day I walked by the tank and noticed this...

I got my Sea Cucumber about 3 years ago roughly. It was about 1.75 inches. Since then I hardly ever saw it. I think I went 7 months without seeing it but 1 time. Recently or for the last 6 months or so it is seen every night. I would guess now that it is 7.5 inches, hiding out is not as easy...

I always thought I had no pods in my tank. Well actually I do and I don't I purchased about a softball size piece of Chaeto a while back from Live Aquaria and at the time I was battling Cyano. It had killed off my Chaeto so that is why I got more and coupled it with ChemiClean. 4 days and it...

I just happen to be walking by and was wondering why it was so inflated at a time when it typically is not and saw it somehow was trying to eat either hermit or snail with the shell. I hope it doesn't harm the coral because it is one of my favorites. Donut-eating-snail-1 by Phastroh1, on...

I noticed this on my BlueJaw recently, well tonight because it was not there this afternoon. I could see scales hanging off of it. It looks to be scraped so I am leaning toward it getting scratched on rocks as opposed to bites. I will say though that my Hippo Tang like to chase the male but...
