    Live Rock

    Thanks. I took this tank over from my parents - they did have live rock in it about 1.5 yrs ago and it did "unleash" some nasty stuff into the tank. So I took it all out. But now after all my reading on the benefits of it I'd like to get some more.

    Live Rock

    Yes I have an established tank - 75 gals. If you buy the live rock and it states it's already cured do you still need to cure it?

    Live Rock

    I'd like to get some Live Rock - I found some live carribbean rock that I live but no very little about it. How do you care for it and maintain it? Do you just place it in your aquarium and that's that? Or do you take it out when you do your water changes and give it a cleaning?

    Sump Question

    I'm in SW Michigan! Too bad! The system I found online seems like it would be easy to put together, I would have to buy the overflow box for the outside of the tank and then the actual sump unit. The pump still confusing me! Do you think a sump is worth it? Will it help with the overall water...

    Adding Plants to my tank

    Thanks. Now when it states these plants would benefit from Calcium and iron is this something you need to add the water? And if so will they affect the overall water quality/chemistry? Thanks

    Purple Tang Face Discoloration

    I have a purple tang (have had it for over 2 years) and within the last 3 weeks her face is discolored. It looks almost cream colored or ivory. I have hard coral & rock in my tank and I think she has been rubbing in them – thus removing her scales? Or is she sick and should be removed from my...

    Mini Jelly Fish?

    I've been doing that for most of the morning - using a net to scoop them out. Should I completely remove all the live rock in my tank? It wouldn't break my heart!
