    A few questions about my tank.

    They are not in the rock. They have a tube-like anemone body.... pretty much the same as my condy anemone. There are about 10 of them now and they seem to move around slightly but stay in the same general area. I thought they where aptasia also... but... they dont seem to match the descriptions...

    A few questions about my tank.

    Are the pictures not clear enough to tell? Im not the best tank photographer :( I live in downtown Albany, Near Pearl St and Madison Ave intersection. My sister lives in Schenectady near Rotterdam. Good to hear from a local aquarist (or used to be local?) :notsure:

    A few questions about my tank.

    Here are a couple shots the anemone things I have.. Are these Aptasia? One of them is centered in each pic and in the first pic you can see several other small ones if you look closely. Sorry if the quality makes it dificult to tell.

    A few questions about my tank.

    Thanks. The green bubbles in your pics are definately what I have. Im not sure about the aptasia though. Mine look a little different than that. Are there different species?

    A few questions about my tank.

    Hey all. I purchased a 30 gal reef and a sump and have had it set up for a couple months now. It had lots of livestock and live rock in it and it has really been a pleasure. I lost a mushroom but other than that everything that was originally in the tank before I set it up at my home has done...

    Tank Transfer Questions

    Ok so I should just add a little of the old sand and the new sand and LR to the 75. Will I still need to cycle the 75 if Im adding all of the LR from the 30. I imagine it would be best to slowly move things from one to the other, problem is the 30 is set up on my dining room table with the fuge...

    Tank Transfer Questions

    Hey all, I'm pondering the Idea of transfering a 30g reef to a larger tank, probably 75. The 30 has a sand bed as deep as 4-5 inches in some areas. I would like to add it to the new tank (if possible) to maintain the bio filtration and organisms in the sand but I am concerned about what I have...

    No biggie, I'll get it working. I got all the wood I need for the stand but havn't had time to start working on it yet. Its still on my dining room table :) I'm a little worried about the anemone. I have tried feeding krill 3 times so far, he wont eat and He's looking a little ill. Hopefully...

    I like to ask questions hehe

    If I where to place the corals and LR within that 2 square foot area beneath the bulbe while leaving more open space outside that area would that work? The thing is, I'm building a custom stand (spent a bit of money on wood) and I would like to leave some room for expansion in the future. If I...

    I like to ask questions hehe

    I have a 30g reef tank that a purchased from a very nice fellow whom I met on this forum. I am contemplating moving all of the live rock and corals to a 75E(same depth as the 30, 20"). The system came with a 250 MH 15K. Im not exactly sure how lighting works but If I where to put most of the LR...

    Protien Skimmer Question

    Hehe well............. I took a foam block I had and carved out a hole in it so it would go over the intake on the pump. I put a slice through it from the other side and ran a lenth of airline tubing to through it so it would reach the intake. I put a gang valve on the end of it to adjust the...

    Protien Skimmer Question

    Ok, thanks guys. I went to 3 LFS and found the skimmer that I have. I opened it and I am definately missing what appears to be a prefilter on the pump and an air intake hose with a regulator on the end. Unfortunately I couldnt find any spare parts at any of the stores. Any suggestions on how I...

It has a maxi-jet 1200 pump. It also has a hose that comes from the bottom of the skimmer and loops around and over the...
