I've decided to tear down my 55 gallon salt water tank. For some reason, I've never been able to get it to work as good as my fresh water tank. Anyway, I'm about to donate the living organisms and coral to a local fish store. However, does anyone have any comments on whether moving the live...

For some reason, my tank grows algae like there's no tommorrow. I currently have a mixture of hairy green algae and purple algae. Unfortunately, the green algae is everywhere. Its growing on the rocks, sand, glass, heater, and even on the crabs shells. I've attempted to address the issue a...

This was originally posted on Jeo's 6 pack of 0.75 pictures : I've had mine setup for about a week and saw this thing crawling around. I never added it. What is it? Should I be concerned?

ok, I went cheap, I admit it. I recieved my Seaclone 100 last night and installed it as an in-sump skimmer. The thing works great... I mean it works great in creating thousands of micro-bubbles that float around my tank. If I have the air nozzle completely closed, I get no bubbles in the...

So I decided to convert my wet/dry filter into a refugium. I read through many hours of threads and looked at some real refugium units (which cost around $200, I might add). My tank is a 55 gallon tank (6 weeks old) with 56 pounds of live rock. My wet/dry filter...

Great board guys! So far, I think I've asked more questions than answering. :) Anyway, I purchased a Florida Condi Anemone about one week ago. This thing took almost two days to "recover". After three days, the thing started to look fine : http://dod.hpi.net/minex/pictures/fi...s/P3240012.JPG...

Does anyone out there have tips in taking pictures of your aquarium? I tried taking several with my digital camera last night and most of them didn't turn out well. If you use a flash, you generally get a reflection in the glass. If you don't use a flash, the picture can come out blurry...

Great site. I'm rather new to saltwater aquarium's. I just started my first 55 gallon about a month ago. So I've heard mixed results on getting a protein skimmer. One store said that they are not needed. Another said that they are somewhat necessary. What do you guys think?
