I just came across this article, I am not sure if someone has already posted this. But I couldn't believe what I just read. This is strange. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38632799...s-environment/ http://www.lionfishderby.com/ thoughts?

I posted this under my tank thread, but I figured I would post here as well. I was under the impression that since the torch and frogspawn were in the same family it wouldn't matter if they were close or not. Well, I just turned on my lights and my frogspawn and torch were stinging each other. I...

I currently have a Lifeguard Quiet One return pump and I absolutely hate it. Its so noisy and puts out a lot of bubbles. I bought it without knowing any better. What is the best submersible pump to use? That's not outrageously expensive. Thanks guys/gals

I had my hands in my tank last night, after lights out, I was fixing a coral. I saw something brown and translucent looking dart around the tank a couple of times then go into hiding. I don't have anything brown like that in my tank so I was kinda freaking out. I got out my flashlight and went...

I may be over paranoid but I just bought some coral 4 different pieces and on the way home my friend's car breaks down, 45 minutes away from my house. I am sending this with his phone...how long do I have before I should start worrying about my coral? I realize that coral gets shipped overnight...

My tank comes in on Friday. I am so excited! The big move is on Saturday. I will begin the tank transfer on Sunday after the new tank has been set up overnight. I don't want my livestock sitting for too long. They will be taking up temporary residence in a 20 gallon plastic tote with an air pump...

So, I am upgrading to a 75 gallon (reef ready with overflow) from a 55 gallon. I have a few questions about equipment I currently have two Koralia 3s, will I need another powerhead for more flow? What return pump should I get? I don't have the tank yet so I am not sure what size pipes I will be...

what is this guy? about an inch long, I found this guy on my mag float.

I am upgrading to a 75 and I am having the toughest time deciding on a shade of blue. I currently have my 55 gallon painted black and it is so drab. Anyone got a good shade of blue?????

I need help ID'ing this clear/whiteish stuff on my GSP. They are really soft and break apart when I tries to pluck it off the GSP. It doesn't move, at least I don't think they move. I stared at them for 5 minutes without seeing any movement. Here are 2 pictures, these were taken once the lights...

I posted in the LPS forum but got no response so I will post here. My torch coral has a pineapple sponge right in the middle of it. I can't tell if it is bothering the torch or not. I can only see it at night once the torch is closed up. Should I try to remove it or just leave it as is? Picture:

Ok, so I am moving and upgrading my 55 to a 75 gallon. I currently HATE my sand. It's super fine and just horrible looking. I am wanting to get new sand, I really like the look of the Fiji Pink reef sand. How would I go about doing this? I plan on rinsing the sand since it comes in the bag with...

I have a torch coral that has a pineapple sponge right in the middle of it. I can't really tell if it is bothering it or not. I just noticed it today when I turned the light on while the torch was still closed up. Should I just leave it alone? Am I correct in calling it a pineapple sponge? picture

I have this thing growing in my zoas, I think it may be a turnicate. Or a sponge. I am not sure. It doesn't seem to bother the zoas. Thanks! Ot it's right in the middle of the picture

I have a 55 gallon and I am looking for a good sandsifting fish. I have heard that the golden headed sleeper goby makes a huge mess throwing sand everywhere. Does anyone have experience they can share? And what about the Diamond Goby, do they make the same amount of mess? Thanks guys/gals!

one of my snails hard at work...

So, not only did I get an asterina star on my gsp, but now I have this crazy looking snail and a zoa spider? on my zoas. I am not sure what kind of snail this is. Possibly a Heliacus? ugly thing was latched onto my zoas.

I just got this GSP frag, did a FW dip. I put it in the tank and noticed this little grey spot. Looks like an asterina star to me, but I just want a confirmation.

I just picked these guys up today. Didn't ask the name. They kinda look like Kryptonites to me, but I am not sure. I knew someone here would know. Thanks!

You will have to excuse the nasty diatoms, but I just finished cycling my tank and I added 3 snails and a few hermits. I noticed today that there are these soft cyclindrical tube things left behind from a snail. This snail has been working all over this rock all day. I am not sure what these...
