Alright I found a Rose Bubble tip I have absolutely fallen in love with, so I re-scaped the tank to allow a larger flat area higher up in the tank, but after finishing I thought hmmm, I'm not sure my lighting will support this kind of life..... SO, I have in no certain fashion decided to...

I think I have a mantis shrimp....... I had a porcelain crab which I found completely hollowed this morning, Now I've never been able to keep nass snails they just all seemed to disappear, and I've lost about 20 hermits, but I never really attributed it to something else in the tank. I'm...

Been on here a while and just wanted to post a few pics, the tank has been up since Jan 09, and I want to add some more corals, but I am pretty content with what is in there now...

I bought a hammer coral in February and for about three months it did quite well. about two months ago, I lost one head, not a clue as to why but it retracted to the skeleton and within two days it was completely gone, the other four heads have been alive but not healthy. They are only extending...

So, I got my new Jawfish from SWF today and I drip acclimated him and dropped him in, about 4 hours later I turned the light on to discover he was under a ledge of some base rock, with a newly dug fort... The only issue being, its the favorite ledge of my serpent star, its just a little black...

So my question is about the ambient temperature and its effect of the brightness in lighting. I added a Coralife 96 watt quad bulb to my nano cube hood but I havent been running it for fear of of heating. So I'm curious if the effect is on the water or on the actual bulbs? Cause I realize that...

Are hydroids a particular bad thing in a reef, my 29 is 3 months in and I just noticed them today, I thought that they were baby stars cause I have 6 micro brittle stars, but I saw a hydroid thread in the seahorse section. I kinda need to know what to do. Is there anything that eats them, or...

So I got some new live rock rubble yesterday, and upon looking at my small chunks, I noticed some small red moving stems coming off the rock. It looks like a red mechanical pencil lead. It has little "feelers" coming off the end. As you watch it, It waves back and forth in the flow. My camera...
