I feed a capful of oyster eggs into my tank every few days and my brain/corals seem to love it. My corals started growing much faster once I started adding it, especially my chalices.

So I was looking in m tank today and noticed a little baby starfish!!. He is about the size of a pencil eraser. I have a sand sifting starfish in my tank now and this little guy looks like he has the same color scheme. Can my starfish reproduce without another? I have had him for almost a...

Yeah they look nice but only show up in the sump which means someone likes to eat them!!

So last week I was looking in my sump while changing my filter sock and noticed 2 different kinds of sponges that I have never seen before. There are tons of pineapple sponges in my sump but now I see an orange sponge and & light purple colored one. Take a look ... Sorry its dark I'll post...

I guess I should starve him out then !! Anyone else ever have one of these?

I've read that it could be a mini brittle star but it hasnt moved out of that spot in the coral since I got in months ago. Any thoughts?

I bought this coral from SWF and its an ORA coral, spongodes. These things have been popping out of this coral for awhile. I thought they might be part of some starfish but they havent left the coral and its been months. If I touch them they retract. They are tan and brown striped. I dont...

Honestly you dont need that stuff but it helps to reduce the number of water changes needed to keep your parameters in check. I am going away on vacation for a week so I'm getting my water changes done now and changing on the media so that the tank will be good for a week without me here. The...

Purigen and other medias need flow or most of the water will just go around them. Thats why I put them in my media reactor. For me it doesnt matter since its another open loop and water is constantly circulated so the affect is there.

Anyone have any input on the "burn-in" coloration on the bulb? Is that supposed to happen at all?

I signed her up for the e-learning PADI course. She can do all the classroom stuff here and then I would join her in the dives were going to do in ARUBA. It'll take 2 days worht of diving to get the certification for her so it should be fun.... Then like someone mentioned in the future if she...

Im going to Aruba next week!!! I'll take some pictures of what I see. Bonaire is a future trip.... I am still trying to convince my gf to get certified on this trip but she tells me she is scared BAH!!

Here is my brain!! Not the center of the picture but I like it.

I have 3 chambers also. 1st Section:: Downpipe Live Rock rubble (couple pounds) Pump that goes to my chiller then through a uv (on a timer) and then it empties into the middle section in my sump through a small reactor with some chemi-pure Heater in between sections ... I dont think its ever...

Anyone else have a Rhizo anenome? I was told that they are pretty rare and I wanted some feeding advice on them. I couldnt find much on my web searches. He seems to like the mysis I am feeding him.

Do uv bulbs normally look like that or to a lesser degree or do you think I got a bad bulb? Im not sure if they are supposed to burn in a little.

Here is an actual picture of it. Yeah I saw the 4 pin bases but mine is a G23 base. 2 pins and a square piece of plastic. You can see the silver burn in on this picture. And its burned more on the side that doesnt work.

Operating around them I agree is an issue. Seeing them for a short second I wouldnt see as an issue. Similar to when you get flashed when someone starts welding near you and you get a glimpse with the [hr] eye. 1 side seems to work on the bulb and the other doesnt fire. Do you think I...

I recently bought a new UV sterilizer and hooked it up into my system. Everything seemed fine the first night and when I came home the next day it appeared to not be on. The ballast has an LED light which tells me power is going to it. I opened it up to check. 1 side of the bulb appears blue...
