If it looks like the one in the picture, it is a Marble Sea Star. I have one of these, and it seems to do very well. Once a week, I feed it dried sea weed, and mysis shrimp. The Marble Sea Star, or Marble Starfish, is one of the more common of the Fromia species, its coloration making it one...

I still need to do more research as to exactly what types of corals I would like to keep. What are you able to keep in yours?

Im looking to upgrade my current lighting system with a PC light. Im currently looking at a Current USA 30" 2X65 watt Orbit set up. It seems like a very convenient system with built in timer controls and moon lights for 24 hour lighting. Does anybody have any experience with this setup? Can...

Not yet. I hope to add afew corals in a few months. Need to do alittle more research as to which ones I want to keep, and adjust my lighting accordingly. Probably easier corals such as mushrooms, and zoos and such.

Hello, I checked my calcium levels for the first time today. It shows my calcium level to be about 360ppm. Where should it be at, and if its low like I suspect, what would you recommend to raise the level? Thanks.

Thanks again to everybody. It seems getting a water analysis from the city is like pulling teeth. Thank you for the suggestion sebae0. I found another source of RO water, and tested the water after adding only the salt. PH seems alright. I didnt realize that the salt mix would adjust the PH...

Hello. Im looking to buy or build a PC lighting system for my 25 gallon tank. The tanks is about 14 inches deep. How many watts of lighting will I need to effectively get enough light to the sand bed to keep soft corals. Thanks. :notsure:

Thanks to everybody for the information. I appreciate the help. I had read on another website that 30 gallons was recommended for the dwarf angels, so I still wasnt too sure. Im having a difficult time trying to decide what fish I should have in my 25. I realize that I will probably max out...

Thank you all for the help, support and replys. Im not on BASE. RO isnt an option for me basically due to the cost. :nope: Mybe some time down the road... Ive talked with the LFS and they tell me that they are also using conditioned tap water. However, their tanks are definitely no...

This will be the first fish in the tank. I plan to add a percula clown, a mandarin goby and another yet to be decided fish some time down the road. I would also like for my tank to evolve from a FOWLR tank to a reef tank, but I have read that the dwarf angel is reef safe, but with caution...

Im considering adding a dwarf angel to my tank. I understand I can only have one per tank, but Im not sure which one. Im trying to choose between the flame, bi-colour, and lemonpeel. Is there any advantages, disadvantages to any of these fish, or is it just a matter of personal preference...

I had the same problem. I got a piece of live rock from a local pet store, and soon after I had my very first anemone. I was really excited till I found out what it was. I since got a Pepermint Shrimp, and with in a day, there was no sign of the aiptasia, and havent seen any since. About 2...

After researching the prices of pre made PC lighting, I wonder if I cant build one myself for a fraction of the cost. Im looking to build something that will house 2-3 55watt PC bulbs. Has anybody done this, and if so could you please post pics and materials lists. Ive searched around but...

I would like my tank to evolve into a reef tank as it matures. Ive tried the RO water from local grocery stores, and when I mix the salt and buffer, the water becomes very cloudy and does not settle.

After doing a fair bit of reading on these boards, it seems to be a general consensus that if your using tap water, you may aswell quit and not bother. Unfortunately, where I live I have yet to find a usable source of RO water, and purchasing my own RO unit is not an option. I have been using...

Peppermint shrimp will eat the Aiptasia

I wish I could post a larger pic...

Its definitely a more brown colour. The "algae" is covering an area that was once covered in diatoms. It doesnt seem much like a slime. Its more stringy. Ill try to get another better picture.

I was kinda afraid of that. Time for another power head.

Very sorry, but 1 more ID. Can soebody ID these plants for me. I have lots of them around.
