Has anyone ever tried allowing their corraline algea to grow on the back glass? I was wondering if it would look any better then the blue painted background I have now, or would it look worse or cause any problems?

Stanlalee if you happen to read this how deeply submerged do you have the seaclone in your sump. I'm trying to find the best depth to make it work well. Thanks

I aquired a tank a few weeks ago and have not been able to identify all of the corals that came with it. Could you please help me identify the 3 corals that are circled. I can do some close ups if that will help. Any other comments on the tank would be appreciated including placement and care...

I was just wondering what everyone did to keep thier QT functioning while it is empty. At times I'm sure my QT won't be used for months if not longer. How do you guys keep it ready for fish. I was thinking I would use my dirty water from my DT during a water change and use it for about a 20%...

If the LR is precured it sounds like it already had enough bacteria to keep the tank from cycling very much. IMO if you have already had two shrimp rot away and your amonia and trites are 0 and stable then you are ready for some small bioload. Just keep it small and add slowly.

I've been reading these boards for awhile and it is finally time for me to take the plunge. I was just able to buy a 90gal bowfront from a local person looking for a change and he is going to help me move it next week. I'm trying to figure out how to best move the tank and keep as much alive as...
