My wife got me the tank from a friend of hers as a gift.They never said how much was in there just that they had the tank going for a couple of years. I never thought to weigh it when they set it up here.

Literally. Anyone care to guess how many lbs of rock are in my tank and how much I need? It's a 90g 48x24x18. Crappy cell phone pics below. The reason I ask is that I want to take some of the rock out and remove my skimmer but want to still provide a healthy environment for the creatures. I...

I'm new so please excuse the dumb question but.... Don't all your tubes flow water? :shock:

In addition to the mysis I feed them some stuff the previous owner gave me. I don't know what it is but it's a frozen red clump and when I thaw some out in water it's like a bunch of tiny red dots. Corals and fish seem to like it but it's almost gone so I will look in to the other foods...

I got the tank in Oct but it was an existing set up from someone else. I don't don't know how long they had the plate and polyps before I got it but the polyps were so tiny you could barely see them and they are about an inch tall now. Anyone know how long it usually takes for the Yellow Polyps...

I have some small Yellow Polyps (2 actually) and a small short tentacled plate coral (about the size of a nickle) that I have been feeding mysis every 2 or three days. I read somewhere that feeding the polyps will make them spread faster and I just like watching the plate coral eat. I'm...

I also have 2 24" marineland double bright LED fixtures that are lying inside the stand but I read that they aren't much help for a reef tank so they stay in the stand. I guess I will start doing some research on a T5 setup. Thanks for the replies.

I inherited an existing 90gal tank 48w x 24h x 18d and the previous owner said the bulbs in the light were almost 2 years old so I thought I should change them. Before I get some new bulbs I thought I would check here and see what opinions were on what I have now and what I should get. The...

Hmmmm, doesn't sound too promising so far.

Thought I'd add a pic of the poor shy fish peeking out of the rock.

I have 2 blue/green Chromis and 2 Percula Clownfish in a 90gal and am a little concerned about one of the Chromis. I got the tank and fish a couple months ago from someone who had it going for a couple of years and after we set it up at my house all the fish seemed pretty happy and were eating...

Thanks for all the replies! :Cheers: That rock has looked like that since I got the tank from someone else a couple months ago, good thing I finally got around to asking what it was. I never liked the rock and it was just sitting by itself so I took it out of the tank. I will keep an eye out...

This reddish stuff is growing on just one of my rocks. It doesn't seem to expand beyond its established borders but sometimes it gets a hole in it from a crab or something and will heal back up after a while. Good, bad, neutral? Does it come in other colors and can or should it be transferred...

Instant Ocean Sea Salt Nice thread idea.:Cheers: This is my first bucket of salt after I got an existing tank from a friend. It's the salt they used so I just stuck with it but I'm interested to see what other brands test at. Salt Brand: Instant Ocean Sea Salt How old the bucket is: 6 weeks...

The big one did look like a ball of 70's shag carpet until a hermit crab gave it a haircut the other day so that makes sense. I did put on some music and lit a couple candles for them, they are adults and what they do is their business as long as they don't do it in front of the clowns.

Found 3 of my snails having a secret meeting on top of a powerhead. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what they are up to? I'm also very curious as to how they all knew to meet at the powerhead. Thanks.

Yes, that's definitely it! :bounce: Thank you so much.

I've looked at hundreds of Goby pictures but can't find any that look exactly like this one. I would guess it's a Diamond Watchman but it's brown not orange and the markings look a little different to me. What do you think? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies, very helpful. And yes, it is very tiny but it sure is animated and interesting to watch.

This little fella was in the tank when I got it and I was told it was a plate coral but that was all the info I got. It was sitting on a rock but kept getting knocked off so now it's just been sitting on the bottom of the tank but seems happy. Sometimes it blows up like a jelly fish or else it's...
