my pencil urchin is fighting my algae problem as we speak. He is mowing it up like there is no tomorrow.

Ok, so I am looking for some reefers in my area. I am in Pennsburg PA and am looking for anyone close by, with an established tank. I would like a cup of Live sand if you have any. I have LR that two years ago was killed off when my tank crashed the week after I had hernia surgery and...

Could be. I mean he hasn't slowed down or anything and he's as normal as ever. I just didn't want him to poison my tank.

So I have had my PU for about two months. He is a cruiser and loved algae. WEll today he was moving along the ridge of some rock, and he fell.......and when he landed he omitted some kind of whiteish cloud. Is this just some "dust" for the sand he has ground up or is there something wrong with...

Ok, so I have about 9 snails cruising around my tank at the moment. The other day, I had one laying in the sand not moving...for about two days. I picked it up and gave it the official "smell" test. Didn't smell rancid so I placed it on a rock and watched him for another two days. His little...

Ok, so I was at my LFS, and I was really happy with them. They seem to know what they are doing and they have never steered me wrong. I went in today to look for an Urchin. I have never tried one before and thought, my tank is over a year and half old and has only ever had fish in it. I have...

HA! Yeah I guess that would help. Ok disreagard this thread until I figure out what the heck I am doing!! Sorry

Anyone have idea opinions of my tank. I am up for some constructive critisism today.

Yeah i know, I am working on that.

Ok well I really thing is apt. It came on one of the large snail I got with a reef pack. Is there a good chance thats what it is?

Drums drums and more drums. Looking for a band though!

Sounds good. So its not cycling?

Ok so I had a 30 gallon tank set up for a little over a year and did not have the proper lighting, until recently.....I got married and we used some of our cash pile to buy a nice MH/power compact setup..........Aqualight Pro to be exact. Anyway, a freind of mine was in the process of getting...
