So I'm needing some blue in my tank, right now I have quite a bit of red, yellows, and orange color. Would love a blue fish or something on the blue side of the spectrum ...I'm creating a reef tank eventually, so the fish would definately need to be "reef friendly". In my tank now is 1 tomato...

ok so I finally got my new lighting, now MHs arent an option for me so I had to go with T5 lights, I bought a 4 strip T5 light 2 blue 2 whites, and this is for a 55g...I would just like to know if this is sufficient for just some basic corals, Im not interested in the more advanced corals, but...

I have a fairly good size PS in my tank, he is BFF with my watch man goby....mines a bullseye PS and the coolest ever, rarely see him when the lights are on, but when i turn off the lights he clicks away and he hasnt bothered any of my other inverts or fish

yeah Ill do 20% tomorrow, I just did a 10% change this evening. How do I get PH up? Can I get a solution to add to the water? If so does anyone have any personal favorites?...Anyways thanks for the advice, I figured 20 ppm for the nitrates was too high and Ive been doing frequent water changes...

so my 55g has been up and running for about 2 1/2 months, Ive got about 45lbs of LR in there now, planning on getting another 10lbs (fully cured) this weekend. Everything has been going good, I finally added fish this past weekend, small tomato clown, 2 firefish gobies, and a watchman goby...

Im trying to start my first reef tank up, I have everything I need as far as filtration, skimmers, water test kits, etc...Im not new to the hobby but am new to keeping corals. Now Im not looking to spend a ton of money on lighting and I cannot go with something that hangs above the tank (i.e. on...

yes exactly, I looked up a pic under that name and that is exactly what they are...people say they arent anything to worry about...thanks

well got my live rock set up after curing and whatnot, and turned on the lights before I went to work and oticed I have a ton of amphipods roaming around which I dont think are a problem from what I have gathered. But I have noticed these long thin tenticles coming out of the rock, they come out...
