    Anyone with a large tank considering the Jebo WP-40?

    Everyone's been talking about these things. They're chinese knock offs of tunze/vortech. Jebo WP-40 13000L Wave Maker They push a LOT of water apparently. One guy I saw posted a vid of him using one on his 120 with some serious flow. It's apparently equivalent to an mp40. Comes with...

    Just ordered a whole bunch of high end zoas. :-)

    I found a guy who has three huge frag tanks and only does high-end stuff. I ordered a grinch montipora (bright green with orange polyps) and a bunch of high end zoas from him: Super Saiyans King Midas Gold Whammin Watermelons Pnoy Valentines Goldylox (these are NUTS!) PHE Planet X...

    Discovered two pieces of bubble algae in my tank. What to do?

    I have been blessed with almost no algae in all the time I've had my tank. However, I moved some rocks around yesterday and discovered a fairly large piece of bubble algae on one rock. It's in a crevice. I'm sure of what it is. It's firm to the touch. The crevice makes it difficult to get to...

    Best way to do some landscaping?

    I recently moved my entire tank...as a result, things got mismatched and scattered around the tank. Nothing is really a problem except my Seafoam Palys....which grow like weeds. Before they were contained in one rock crevice but now they are spread out between two rocks on opposite sides of...

    Coral Identification

    This is one of the ones that's doing well from the shipment I got last week. It doesn't seem to match up with any of the stuff I ordered. I'm just wondering what they are. Kind of looks like small goniopora. Boring brown kind. haha

    Need some advice.

    So I ordered a bunch of frags cheap from this reefer on another site. They came today. Packed beautifully, I might add. As I was unpacking, though, I noticed a few things. First of all, both the green and pink birdsnests are an off-white color. The LOOK good...but completely bleached. Are...

    New corals coming and need an identification here...

    Ok, so I bought this SPS frag from Petco yesterday for $10. It is a muddled brown color and the tips of the polyps are green and blue. Very cool. When fully extended (it isn't in this pic) it is kind of bushy. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. Wondering if I got a good deal or not...

    Purple Lobster?

    Petco has one now. I can't seem to find any GOOD info on them. Anyone had one? Liveaquaria is so general in their descriptions, other things aren't specific enough. What do they scavenge? Will they eat my snails? Will a purple lobster fight with my CBS? Who is likely to win? Thanks.

    Rock Anemone

    I've been looking into what the next big addition to my tank should be. I want to wait awhile before I add in any new fish, so I was exploring other options. Unfortunately, my options are fairly limited with my current stock list and my tank size. So in my research I learned a little...

    Temperatures for Corals

    Since setting it up I kept my tank at a very stable 77.5 degrees. I never actually saw it change and I verified the temperature a couple times a week with a digital meat thermometer (outside of the tank obv.). The other day my girlfriend and I decided to shut the AC off for the year as the...

    JBJ Oceanstream 500gph

    One of the main things I look for in powerhead is size. I have a Hydor 750gph and while it is a decent pump, it does have some drawbacks. For one, it's absolutely huge. It's way bigger than it needs to be and sticks out further off the glass than what I would like. I decided recently to...

    My Yellow Wrasse has been hiding since I got him.

    So I've read up on them a lot to prepare and I know they bury in the sand when they are stressed or sleeping. When I first put him on Wednesday in after acclimation he spent about 2 mins swimming around and then he found a good spot and buried himself. I didn't see him after that. I was...

    Thinking about getting a Maroon Clownfish.

    Probably just one but out of curiousity...how do you go about buying a pair? Do you always have to order them as a pair or can you just get two? What if you get two females? Won't they fight. Anyway, I am considering an ORA Gold-Striped Maroon Clown. They're cheap and hardy and I like the...

    Does anyone know of any research into UV LED's and their benefits?

    Are they at all beneficial? There's a lot of UV in natural sunlight. I don't know if anything on a reef utilizes that end of the spectrum, but it wouldn't surprise me. Most LEDs come with just whites and blues...some allow you to add in some cyan or reds...and a couple let you add in UV...

    What are the best companies making all-in-one reef systems?

    I was pricing out some systems today. My dream is a 60g cube but maybe 40-50 is a better idea. This wouldn't be for a year or so but one can dream big here! I found the Cadlights 40g Artisan tank, which comes with all the needed plumbing and an acrylic sump. Haven't found anywhere online to...

    I took some pictures and enhanced them a bit.

    Please note, these pics are from my camera phone...the only camera that I have. I was off today and bored and took about 200 pics to try and find the best ones. It's a pretty bad camera as you can see from the *best* ones haha. Regardless, I touched them all up a bit and I figured I...

    How is my Dragon's Eye looking?

    Ok so I've never kept a coral before and Petco had a clearance sale thing and I picked this up a week and a half ago for $5. It was labeled as a Dragon's Eye Polyp. It was all closed up. All of them in the tank were. He said they'd got them that day. I figured why not...and got one. I...

    I think we will see very high quality LED fixtures in the $150-$200 range next year.

    There's a good chance. Laws of economics says the prices will continue to drop. I'm talking about the really high quality fixtures with the advanced controllers and full-spectrum outputs. I can't wait!

    Is this algae problem serious? What can I do to get rid of it?

    I know all the hallmarks...don't overfeed, reduce lighting (I'm trying to nurse a zoa frag back to health, though, right now), and scrape it off but that doesn't work. I'm including some pictures here: The stuff on the glass does NOT scrape off. This is very annoying. I got a 30" scraper...
