after so many years I have gotten a bit lazy. So I decided I'd start testing my water regularly again. It appears my PH is low? I dunno, these API colors kill me. I was instantly reminded of why I sort of stopped testing, besides the laziness of course, it's just hard to determine these colors...

Well hello there my friends. It's been exactly one million years since I've posted. ;) I need help- Got a hitchhiker on a Xenia rock. I need to know what is that thing on the left??

Hi guys, My gsp has been "plating" up in spots instead of growing out. I ordered a new light and it's coming Monday or Tuesday. Anyhoozle, I tried to move some rocks that had the coral on it and I ticked it off and it retracted. That's when I noticed this red felt like growth on parts of the...

Hi guys, A year ago I got the reef octopus hang on the back skimmer, it's the BH2000. I love the thing, it pulls all kinds o' crud and yadda yadda. My husband has always hated how it sounds,(he's not always pro tank thou) I like it's quiet water sound. Turn the t.v. up louder dude and deal...

I feel like blowing money on corals. Makes sense right? Help me out here people... The LFS has a 3 inch hammer coral. It's beautiful. It's also $55. Worth it? I want to try some new stuff, different shapes, and not boring ol' zoas and did some research and narrowed it down to these...

Anybody know what this green coral is? I've had it for over a year now, it's split and I moved the other piece lower but it really seems to like the light, I'd like to know what is it so I know it's requirements. Thanks for looking!

Hi guys, need some hermit crab shells. Neither of my LFS have any. Bums. I know liveaquaria has them, but, they are out of stock. Anyone buy any online for a deal?

Just a quick question on the living reef's database....I see it lists the Fire Shrimp as "no" for reef compatible and "yes" for the sexy shrimp. Are fire shrimp really not reef compatible? And I thought the sexy shrimp could eat corals....?

I think I screwed up. I've had 4 fish for a while now and decided while at the fish store that I loved the look of the banggai cardinals all hovering together. It said they did best in small groups so I got 3. I added them last night and haven't had the lights on yet to see how they will do but...

Ok, so what's the magical secret to using Formula 2 correctly? Somehow I managed to screw it up. Shocking. I just got some and popped a cube into a container to thaw and when I took it out I was perplexed. It's a solid cube of paste? I've not encountered this with frozen foods before. So I...

I have my power strip right under my HOB skimmer. DUMB. Thank goodness I was sitting by the tank, awake at 2 am back when I was restarting after prazi pro cause the darn thing overflowed. Caught it just in time. B/c of outlet placement there is no where else to put it besides in the stand. Does...

Looking for some advice. I did NOT paint the back of my tank. I wish I would have. I have ghetto style taped a horrible shiny blue background on the back. It works ok, I guess, never looks totally right and when I drip water on the back it sticks to the glass and dries all salty. Can you picture...

Hi guys, I have a flame angel, a clown, and a six line. My tank seems to be doing well (finally!) and I was putzing around the LFS getting water and checking out snails I saw a yellow assessor. (gold basslet) It's a cool looking fish so I decided to do some research. It was odd to me that I...

OH yeah. I knew you'd be sucked in by that title. And now, here you are, reading about poop. You really should get a hobby. Oh wait... Anyhoo, I mentioned it in my build thread but thought I'd throw it out here as well in case anyone else can benefit from it....I added a Flame Angel. He's been...

Ok, some of you that "know" me know that I don't really care about corals, except my duncan. So, I am looking at adding a coral beauty to my tank and I know that they like to munch on corals. Now, I have researched and researched and cannot determine if they like to munch on LPS or not. Anybody...

As some of you know I added a flame angel to my 60 gallon on Wed. He was swimming around happily that night and yesterday. Today I come home and he is lying on his side in the bottom of the tank, breathing heavily. Other inhabitants: 1 pep shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 2 chromis, 1 clown, 1 six...

Hi everyone! Going to the LFS tonight, they get their shipments in on Fridays and I love to go and stare and chat with the workers there. As some of you know, I have a 60 gallon tank and 3 chromis and 1 clown. I had mucho issues with 2 clowns so, just 1 clown for me from now on. It's hilarous...

I'm having trouble getting a hold of snails around here (petco wants 3.50 for a cerith or astrea and rarely have them) So, I ordered a few snails online and have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. How many girls do you know excitedly check their mailbox for a box of snails? Well, now you...

I just got 3 zoa frags. Can I stick them all on the same rock about 2 or 3 inches from each other? Will they be ok touching eventually or will this tick them off?

Hi guys, What magnetic glass cleaner do you guys use and recommend? I see a $45 piranha float one on BRS, is it worth it? Or is there a cheaper one you use that works well?
