So I'm sick of my 90 gallon tank, it's time for something new! We just moved and unfortunately, I lost a fish (my yellow tang) and my long spine black urchin. That leaves me with just my Clarki clown fish and my black domino damsel. It was a hard move and even though everything went up pretty...

Hey all, What is this pink carpet coral? I though it was GSP but haven't been able to find any GSP that is this pink color!! It's taking over my tank! I like it but I want to get it off of the rocks where my other corals are. I have only heard of people boiling their rocks until everything on...

Hey all, So I come home from vacation and what do I find?? My once single nem is now 2! So I know that they will split to reproduce and he was pretty big so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just time to split for him but I have only had the nem for 3 weeks so I want to make sure he isn't...

Hey all, So my RBTA looks kinda shriveled up today. It still has awesome color but it just isn't as full as normal. Is this normal? Do nems shrivel up and then fill out regularly? I know most corals kinda do that so I figure it is normal but I want to make sure. Any advice? Let me know if you...

Hey all, So I have been in the hobby for about 1.5 years now, I have learned a TON so far. I want to try and do a coral only tank at my work. I think this could work because all I would have in it is coral and snails which both get their food sources from the light above the tank. This means...

So I have noticed that my sump is nasty. I wana clean it out. Should I just pull it and spray it down with hot water? Also, I need to clean my protein skimmer and pumps. What do you guys use? I have heard white vinegar and water 1:1? thoughts?

So my wife and I are going out of town on Friday night and we won't be back until Sunday late. Would that be too long for my fish to go without food? I remember reading somewhere that having a day with no food is actually good for the fish's digestive systems?? Anything I can do to keep my fish...

Hey all, So about a month and a half ago, I got a frogspawn coral. I put him on the leftmost side of my tank about 2/3 of the way up. That part of my tank doesn't get a lot of light. My wife is concerned he isn't getting enough light. Should I move him? His arms are usually extended durring...

Hello all! At the beginning of the year, I noticed there were a LOT of 10 gallon tank builds going up. We all started an unofficial contest just for fun to keep track of all of the new mini tanks. As of today, I am making it an official contest! I am going to change the rules a little bit just...

So I looked today and one of my Long Black Spined Urchins is EATING MY CORAL! He devoured my GSP, broke my purple digi, and now he is on top of my toadstool. He always left my brain coral alone and hasn't messed with my mushrooms, any ideas? I really like him but he has to go if he's going to...

Hey forum people!, I got some corals yesterday and I am wondering how to attach them to the rockwork in my tank. Some are on little pegs (I'm guessing those just get glued in with coral glue right?). I also got a green toadstool, right now it just resting in a rock but how should I attach that...

So right now my feeding schedule is like this. One day I'll feed Rods Food (original) and some brine shrimp as a snack. My fish love this! The next day I'll feed some pellet and flake food and put some dried seaweed in for everybody to munch on. I alternate like this every other day. My question...

So I have a Phosban reactor and a MJ1200 but it's not hooked up. I don't have a phosphate test kit (I know, I know, I'm getting one, calm down) so I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to run the phosban reactor since I can't test for what it is doing. What do you all think? Casey

Where do you guys get your corals? Do you get them mostly from LFS, online, other people? I really want to get some coral but everything at the LFS is so dang expensive! Is that just the plight of the fishtank owner?
