When I started my tank a year ago with live rock & sand, I used to see tons of critters creeping around in my tank. About 3 months ago, I started fighting a hair aglae problem & have taken out my rock & scubbed them several times. I also (coming from a fresh water background) vaccumed the sand...

I just traded in my coral banded shrimp last weekend after it ate a new fire shrimp. (The LFS claimed they would be okay together.) He was a total [hr] . I actually saw him grab one of my clownfish by the tail once. He let go & didn't hurt it but I was sick of him chasing everyone around...

I'm not sure what type of anemone it is, got it from a friend's tank. It's the one in my avatar.... is a deep pink with longish tentacles.

I'm in the process of trading out some livestock & could use some advice. I have a 25g tall & removed a three stripe damsel & maroon clown tonight while aclimating two new firefish. Still in the tank is a pair of f percs. The percs & maroon have been together for about 9 months get along...

I'm looking to upgrade my Eclipse 2 lighting with a retrofit kit. The most wattage I can fit into the existing acrylic light cover is 1x36 watts, which isn't really an improvement. If I remove the cover, I think I can get 2x65 watts. My question is, am I going to need an acrylic cover on the new...

I have an unmodified Eclipse 3 system. My nitrates have always been between 10-20 ppm. I feed frozen brine, kril, mystis or squid once a day, sometimes flake in the morning. My bulbs are about 6 months old & I'm holding off on changing them while I price replacing the ballast for more wattage &...

I’ve had my 29-gallon tank running for about a year. I have major (and to be expected) hair algae problems. Here are my two main problems: I use tap water & my tank gets some sunlight. I can address the sunlight issue but I need help with the water. I know why I shouldn’t use tap water but I...

Thanks for the photos. You both have nice tanks. Looks like I need alot more LR. Anyone know the best way to introduce LR into an established tank?

I have a 29 gallon tank in need of a makeover. I want to add a lot more live rock & was hoping some of you would post some of your photos of similar sized tanks for ideas. I did a search but most of the photos seem to have been removed. Thanks.
