I have plans to start up a 90 gallon Reef Tank, that will only house maybee 3 or 4 fish, for housekeeping purposes. Otherwise it will be mostly Corals, and Inverts. The Gear I have planned out I would like critiqued, suggestions or changes to improve it are welcome. Equipment 90 gallon 48"L x...

One of my 10 gallons ive had going for 2 years now, and all I have in it, is a Hush Power Filter for a 35 gallon, and a Coralife Aqualight Deluxe Quadtube, thats a 50/50 96w compact. Its basicly 2 10,000K and 2 Actinic 03 blues. Its 20" and comes with adjustable mounting legs, and it stays...

Thats what I was thinking it was, but better to be safe than sorry with reefs IMO.

Just saw this tonight, after I turned off the lights. Ive had this coral for about 6 months now, and the Tank has been running for almost 2 years, never had one of these appear before. Its currently out of the tank obviously. It feels like a stone, not really squishy at all. Would like to know...

Unknown?

These have been growing for about a month now, and are now about an inch across. None of the fish, crabs, or snails seem to want to eat it so im wondering what they are now. There are two of them, that have grown together to touch now. They look like jello, jiggling around in the flow. Any help...

Use a Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 The lavenders nexdoor neighbors.... I think they climb up just to watch the show.

I just got some new Deep Water Tonga Live Rock, and I discovered this about an hour ago in the bottom of the curing tub. Can Anyone tell me what it is? It was kinda moving and expanding and stuff for a little bit, but not so much since its been in the light. It kind of has a leathry texture to...

Best way I've found to catch those kinds of hitchhikers, is to use a turkey baster, and just suck the thing up.

I was playing around with a new camera, and took some incredibly beautiful images of my Tube Anemone. The first picture is enormous (2592 pixels) but I think its needed because of the detail you can see in the tenticles. Second picture is used with the vivid color setting. Also be sure to click...

Something else that just occured just now. I turned off the lighting, (which is on 10 hour cycle now), and the angel made a few laps around the tank then went back under the rock. I am wondering if its possible that the Light is to strong for them, and he has a sunburn more or less. The lighting...

Yes, the angel is still alive. It has now retreated inside a cave under a rock, and is swimming at almost completely on its side. Its breathing isnt really heavy at all. Seems normal. Also in the last 24 hours. Very dark copper like stuff has begun to appear along the sand bottom and some of the...

I usually mix it in a 30 gallon trash can (mixing up about 25 gallons of water) that has a powerhead to help dissolve the salt, which I use Instant Ocean for that. I usually let it mix for half a day, then I change out the water I need. But even when stable at 1.023 when I add it to the tank its...
