Weren't there some people getting ready for the end of the world a few years ago because they said that was when Nastradomus said it would end? I personally put about as much stock in this 2012 theory as I did that one.

I stopped by the LFS this weekend and noticed that all but maybe 1 of the coral tanks has hair algea growing in them, some worse than others. I was just wondering if you were to buy a coral or fish that was in one of those tanks would you risk spreading that to your tank?

I have started trying to purchase some of the equipment I need to start a tank and unfortunately my children found my refractometer. They broke off the piece of plastic that lays down over the end. Can I use it without this or is it completely broken now?

I really liked watching the scuba divers cleaning the shark tank at the aquarium in New Orleans! Took 2 to clean and 2 to stand guard with some really long sticks.

I'm kind of confused. I'm planning on starting a reef tank before too long (hopefully) and have been doing a lot of research in books and on the web. I noticed that saltwaterfish.com states that the minimum size tank for a blue hipo tang is 40 gallons. Is that just for the size it is when you...

:happyfish What kind of fish is that with yellow fins? He looks really cool.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm even married with kids of my own and when I told my mom I'm about to start a reef tank she kept asking me why not fresh water. Now she just keeps asking me if I will have black mollies in the tank and no mater how many times I tell her that black mollies are...

I had someone at the lfs tell me that you can use all bagged sand and no live sand as long as you are using live rocks. He said with the organisms on the rocks the sand would become live. Is this true also?

I've seen several people mention the book "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" and was wondering how detailed this book is. Does it explain enough for a newbie to be able to set up a tank with a refugium and get everything started? Ever since I bought a book the lfs recomended and saw how...

Ok, so MH are definitely the way to go. The company I'm planning on getting my tank from said that they could mount a MH light in the hood which would use 2 MH bulbs. This is sounding like a good idea and I was just wondering on the wattage I would need. I was reading another post on here and...

That's exactly what the lfs guy said, that the light would have to penetrate more water on a 90 gal vs a 75 gal. Would that therefore cause me to have to purchase a much more expensive lighting system? Also, I believe I remember the lfs guy saying that with the added lighting on the 90 gal it...

I just got off the phone from a guy with a local company that makes and sells aquariums. I asked about a 75 gal tank and he recommended that I go ahead and get a 90 gal instead. I was told at the lfs that if you move from a 75 to a 90 gal that the lighting requirements are a lot more...

I am planning on purchasing everything to start a 75 gal reef tank within the next few months. This will be my first tank and I am very excited. I have been doing tons of research over the past couple months and think I have an idea of all the items I'm going to need to purchase but would...

Hi everyone. I am hoping to set up a reef aquarium in my home and have a couple questions. I have never had an aquarium before but ever since I got my scuba liscence a few years ago I have been dying to. :happyfish First, I have been thinking about setting up a 55 gallon glass aquarium...
