    just turned on my new 90

    I added the clowns (thing one and thing two) a couple of days ago along with 3 turbos. the tang gave them a half curious look then went back to business, hasnt given them a second thought since.

    enough hair already

    Im right there with you Deejeff. The stuff is driving me crazy, It was all over my back wall, and on a few of my more intricate pieces of tonga rock and I beefed up my clean up crew while cutting down the food. I added 2 emerald crabs, 3 turbos and I already had around 40 snails, hermits, ect...

    I did something stupid

    As a new hobbiest there is so much to learn and many lessons that get learned the hard way. I would like to share something I did my first time around several years ago. Maybe some of you will get a laugh. I was at my lfs and I kept seeing these little brown anemones in the tanks and I talked to...

    is this more of a fish by fish basis or are most tangs bullys after they have been in a tank. I only have a couple more fish i want to add but I would really like to get rid of my coral banded before I throw them in. Additionaly I dont like to rapidly increase my bioload without giving the tank...

I am pleased to say that my sumpdamsel is now property of my lfs, while I was there dropping his overly aggressive tail off I picked up a small yellow tang a couple of emerald crabs and a duncan frag with 1 big head and 4 smaller...

    120 Gallon Starphire Reef Tank Diary (acrylic didnt work out)

    Cool pics, I like your bridge. I feel you on the overflow, my old tank dumped 30 gal on the floor when a snail got stuck in the drainbox hole.. Drilled is the way to go. Im running a similar setup just smaller, I have a 90 gal starphire, I love how clear the glass is. I just got a duncan today.

    can i put sand from my refugium into the display tank?

    Just the top 1/2? I am not really worried abut the beneficial aspect of it so much as the filling out my sand bed but not giving my tank some kind of nasty algae infection. I could still use about 25 lbs of sand in the display that 15 lbs would save be a a few bucks but like I said my concern...

    can i put sand from my refugium into the display tank?

    I had a deep sand bed in my refugium and I just pulled about 15 lbs of sand out of it. seems like a shame to waste it but i dont want to put anything into my tank that doesnt belong. I have calurpa in the refug but i have gone through the sand and made sure that their was no pods in it. What do...

    What first got you into aquariums

    hola! Im @ work not wanting to get started on a big pile of blah. What better way to avoid it then by getting to know you guys better. I was 8 or 9 and I wanted a puppy, my dad told me to prove I could care for a pet first and got me a 20 gallon tank. I had the shipwreck ornament in it that...

    some kind of anemone perhaps?

    Thanks guys but it doesnt look like my other mushrooms, this one is about the size of a quarter maybe just a little bigger. when it stands up it is mostly roundish but the same thickness at the base as at the top. very tubish. It also has small tentacles all the way around it. Finally when it is...

    list of fish and the order to assimilate them. what would you do?

    So I have a monster coral banded shrimp and I am pretty sure he is attacking my fish. My green chromis pretty much just hide and now one has a big gash on its side. One of them "died" and I saw the cbs walking around with its carcass for the whole day. I dont think he is going to be in the tank...

    some kind of anemone perhaps?

    Hello, Im not sure what this is. Just showed up one day. I thought it was a sponge but it flattens out when the lights are on but in the dark sucks in and gets a little taller plus it has a mouth. Anyone know what it is?

    My lawnmower blenny is an EATING MACHINE!!! I have green hair algae issues on some of my tonga rocks and all over the back glass. This dude just loves to eat it. He is turning into a little fat boy but he is making a big difference. I am sure that many of you have these fish and already know...
