I have had my tank for about 1 month and a half, and over the last two days (after putting in some damnsels) tons of this reddish brownish algae like stuff has growmn on the LR and Ls but not on the glass. Lights were on from 7am-7pm, 2 pc lights. I really hope this is not red slime and that...

the dude at the LFS said the salinity for my living reef should be 1.025. It kinda sounded like he had no clue what he was talkin about byut since a lot of you are experienced i figured one of you could help me out.

i have to send it back, then they have to test it and if fixable they will fix it, and if not fixable they will send a new one. Probably 3 weeks!!! i have had the tank for a month cycling and now i have to wait 3 more weeks. drives me crazy!!!

I just got my 36 inch metal halide today. Everything went on right and the LED's and flourescents worked. But the halide bulb is the big problem. It plugs into a regulator box and then into the wall. My roomate is an electrician and he says the regulator is the problem. When i got the...

i am a new hobbyist and want to get some anemones it 6 months or so when the tank has matured. I will have all the stuff they need i just need to know the max size of BTA's and pink tips.
