    Infamous Bryopsis

    I ordered 5gallons today online and will order more if it means getting rid of this stuff, its such a pain to see it encroaching onto corals.

    280g FOWLR Tank Diary

    I've almost had my lights for a year now and was thinking it was time to ponder changing the bulbs. Would my amount of coral and 2' depth make it smart to change my bulbs or would it be a waste changing them before the 18month mark? I was thinking about doing both fixtures -(2) 54W True Actinic...

    I'm on my final straw with bryopsis too and am gonna use this same method on my 280g with 100g sump. So ya I'll need a lot of tech m but i don't really see another option.

    Would a purple firefish and a fridmani pseudochromis work ok? If so would this be it for fish? Thanks

    20g Fish List Help

    The tank is going to be a reef and I myself do like the goby pistol shrimp combo but the girl friend isn't a big fan, but since we are going with a reef we'd like a pretty light bioload in order to save headache. We do have a aqua c remora nano protein skimmer to help out though. I guess we will...

    Need Achilles HELP ASAP

    The achilles is an awesome fish. My QT is a 55g and my DT is a 280g with a 100g sump and about 350+ lbs of lr. The QT had been cycled for months and the DT is a year plus in age

    20g Fish List Help

    I have a 20g reef tank that I am setting up for my girl friend. It has been running for about 1.5 months now. We were thinking about doing one fish or possibly two. Money isn't a concern I just don't have much experience on stocking this small of a reef tank. All suggestion are welcome and if...

    Need Achilles HELP ASAP

    Thanks for the help guys, Tangs rule I appreaciate the input, but the achilles is no longer with us. He was dead this morning when I checked on him It was by far the most attractive fish I've owned. I doubt I'll try another one for quite some time. At this point I'm going to call the DT stocked.

    there is also an air pump with an air stone in the tank now, fingers are crossed. This fish would look amazing in my DT. If he doesn't make it through I think im gonna tear the QT down and call the DT fully stocked.

    Need Achilles HELP ASAP

    The lights were on a timer but only for a couple hours a day. I have both powerheads in the tank aimed at the top in order to oxygenate the water. The QT has been set up for about 6 months now and the DT he'd be going into is over a year old at this point. I dropped the salinity over 4-5 days so...

    Need Achilles HELP ASAP

    I have an achilles tang in a 55g QT right now. I got him about 2 weeks ago and he has been eating great and very active. About 4 days ago he showed some signs of ich so I started hypo and just now got the salinity down to 1.09. I came home today and he is laying inside a pvc fitting and get up...

    280g FOWLR Tank Diary

    I tried srubbing the rocks but wasnt too successful I couldnt get to agressive due to the corals on the rocks and the algae is pretty tough. Guess I'll just work my excess nutrients down
