My wife is starting a 20g for zoo's, softies, and some LPS. Question is: do we need to put a raw srimp in to spike the tank? There is 25# aragonite sand, 28# LR, all the water came out of my 120g. The bio wheel sat in my sump for 3 weeks. What do you think, let it go or add the shrimp...

Newest tankmates: Radiant Wrasse and Powder Blue Tang! Great additions for their color and their movement in the tank.

Hey does anyone know if SuperGlue gel is reef safe? I have been using Aquamend and I hate the white color, sticks out too much. If you know it is safe or if you have any other recomendations please feel free to tell me. Thanks

My QT all the sudden has an ammonia spike of .25. I have my Powder Blue in there who is doing ok, not really pumping at the gills and he is eating algae sheet. I don't have water ready but have started mixing a batch that could be ready in an hour or two if needed. Question is; should I just...

I just made the worst mistake of my short saltwater experience and need help asap! While trying to place my new Acropra millipora my hand slipped while pushing his base into a crevice and broke him off about 1/2 inch above the base. I immediately glued the top broken piece to a piece of LR...

Went to a great new store today, Premier Fish & Reef! Been open about 2 months. Great selection of corals, clams (the BEST I have seen in Denver). Great prices on almost all fish, tons of fairy wrasses and a mystery wrasse. I got a 3 1/2 inch Powder Blue Tang for $47. Will Lundquist runs the...

Hey I got a crocea clam about 2" long ang georgeous! Problem is is that where I put him he wiggled his way down the rock some and now is firmly attached!! And he did it in just 24hrs! Is there anyway to get his foot off so I can move him up? I don't want to hurt him but I want him in a safer...

Green polyped toadstool has not opened in 3 days and looks like it has white dead tissue on it. Xenia which I had been propagating and trading is all dieing, Colt coral has lost some limbs and looks bad, and worst my beautiful open brain looks bad. All other corals including clam, acropora...

I have felt the Dark Side and fell to it's allure! I have introduced 2 Acropora's to my tank. The first a couple of weeks ago was a green table acro (frag for $15) hard to get good pic of it. And last week I went nuts and got a beautiful Acropora tenuis! My lfs guy sold it to me out of his...

Need a little help. My 3" tri colored open brain that I got last week appears to have some tissue death starting :confused: What can I do to stop this or help it in any way? I have him on the sand bed. All other corals including Clam (T. Deresa), and lobo brain are doing great. Should I...

How do I make my RBTA move? He likes this spot but has stretched himsel out so far that he is touching my Montipora. I tried to move him but he is locked on. So i moved some rocks and tried to cut off his light but he stretched up like 8 inches and spread between the rocks. What can i do to...

Here are some updated pics of my tank, little over 3 months old. Battled a nasty algae problem a few eeks ago and am now eradicating some polyp eating nudibranchs. Lots O pics so take a look and any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. 1: Clowns, RBTA, and Male Anthia 2:RG 3:LMB-Muppet

So as not to hijack the previous thread: I have a 120g with a Sequence Dart pump plumbed to my sump/refug, with the head pressure I am getting approximately 2000-2400gphr. But I still have some dead spots behind my LR, so I am going to add a Tunze 6060 to flow along the back wall. It puts out...

What size tank for a palani tang? I like tham but only have a 120g tank. Any info?

So I found these 2 little "things" crawling in my tank today. Very small too small to get pic. They have a light brown head with what appear to be "horns", their backs are "layered" with kinda "spines" or "ridges" that are almost flourescent green to yellow and layered down their backs. Look...

What is this algae and what do I have to do to ge rid of it? I am doing 20% water changes every week or 5 days. Am stiring it up and trying to suck it out. Have added a powerhead to the back of tank to get rid of dead spot. I have a 120g with 35g sump/fug, there is no algae like this or hair...

What is the right temp range? My lFS says 78, but posts I've read here say 80-82. My tank starts the day at79.5 and with the metal halides on rises to 81.5 over 8hrs. Is this OK?

I recieved a colt coral last week and now the base it came on has broken. How can I reset it? Can these be glued or do I have to sew it to another rock? Secondly my zoos have come off of their base as well and are not doing well, how can I reattach them as well? They are clinging together by...

I just got some GSP online and haalf the mat is not attached to the base anymore. Can I pull the rest of the mat off and rubberband or glue them to a rock I want them on? Same with some zoos I got they broke off and were free floating so I pinned them down to a rock. What should I do with...

Is this Blenny reef safe? I saw one today at the LFS and want to get him but wasn't sure. Anyone have any experience with these guys, let me know. Thanks.
