So far, owning a Saltwater tank is a pleasing experience for me, new things seem to pop up everyday, feather dusters on my live rock, discovered that my live rock also has brown zoanthids on it. But, coming into my room after class, I found a red and white worm was inside an empty shell, kinda...

I got some new live rock with the same exact thing on mine, except there are about 12 of them on there, mine are a bit of a copper color though and dont like to be touched, they close up when I do.

The lights where on the bed with me working on them (I found the legs as I almost threw away). He was floating on the top of the tank. I did notice that the water in the bag was slightly yellow, ammonia levels in the tank are fine as well. I have an over the back filter running, I do have a...

The water has been in the tank for about a week now, just didnt have a powerhead or light on the tank. A live rock went in with the fish (had some coral on it too). Salinity is fine, all the levels are fine, used 3 different tests, ph was 8 i think (and according to the test that is fine).

sadly the fish did not make it through the night. I cant find the body anywhere which leads me to believe that the hermit crabs have had their way with it maybe, but, lesson learned here for me...

He floated for an hour at least. He has been moving a lot more than he was earlier, hopefully he will be alive and well in the morning. I have 2 powerheads that are supposed to be 1300gph but it doesnt feel that powerful, and I only have 1 running.

all the levels are fine, used 3 different tests. I know, I am a newbie to saltwater, and you all take your hobby seriously, but being a new tank, with levels normal, I got a $5 fish to see if it was ready, I do have some hermit crabs in there as well, and they are up and moving just fine, not a...

no, I didnt cook him, the lights were off the tank, I was adjusting the legs on the tank.

We got a Damsel today to be the test fish for our new tank, he was doing fine in the bag and I was adjusting the lights, well, 30 minutes later, I forgot that he was floating in the tank (in the bag to adjust temp), and he was at the bottom of the bag breathing heavy, released to the tank, and...

I got the lights in, I could tan under them.... I will post pictures once the tank has actually filtered some, the water is a bit cloudy. But, they are all 54 watt, got 2 10k and 2 420, also got a led moon light strip with it (they said they were out but yay me!). They seem like they would be...

I figured something was up when I tryed to send a link and it but ---- on the site name...

its going over a 55 gallon, 2 of the lights are 10k, and the other 2 are 420 actinic.

best I could find, its not the same one, but specs are the same, wattage wise.

Well, I ordered my lights after long consideration, and found these online, I am totally new to the hobby, and I am somewhat nervous, whats everyones thoughts on these:

Oh yea, say I get 30lbs of live rock its $210 at my LFS, if I go up to Indy to get it, if its legit, $75, thats a huge difference for my wallet!

Originally Posted by PEZenfuegoI would shop around for some cheaper live rock. Seven dollars for live rock isn't uncommon, but in the same regard it isn't a good deal. I know a place in Indianapolis that sells high quality LR for 2.50 a pound. I sort of doubt that helps you though lol. You...

well, just got back from the LPS (and one that I got lost for 3 hours trying to find, and come to find out, they had hardly any fish, and the tanks they had, were very sad). Well, $7 a pound for live rock, and found a heater for $30, some solarmax HO lights for $160 (two HO lights with 8 moon...

Yea, I would really hate to sink $180 on LED lighting and it not be enough, leaving in an hour to go ask around some LPS (only reason I am thinking about it is because you dont have to change them). Keep the opinions coming! I may try to get a cup of sand from my cousin, but he isn't the...
