I just bought a torch coral the other day, and I was trying to figure out where to put it. I have T-5 lighting, and was wondering if I should put it high up, or on, or near the ground? Thanks in advance.

I was wanting to get a wave maker, and I was looking at the Red Sea Wave Maker with soft start. Does anyone know if this is any good? I was also wondering if I can use it with my Hydor Koralia 4's. I want to make sure it will not ruin them. Thanks in advance

I was wondering if I should worry about my serpent star will go after my maxima clam, had seen something about star fish and clams that made me kind of worried.

I checked my parameters yesterday and all seems well, but my concerns are calcium. My calcium is at 380, now I know that it is not low...but I have a Maxima, torch, bubble algae and some plate corals. Now I was told that my calcium should be between 400 and 450 especially for the clam, and they...

Does a Maxima clam need to be placed on a rock or is it O.K. to keep it in the sand?

I added a serpent star today, and when I looked at him in the bag he had a pink intestine looking thing comming out of his mouth. I figured it was a defense thing like pushing out his innards but just want to make sure.

I have added my first fish on Sunday, 2 small clowns, and an orange spotted sleeper goby. So far all is well and the clowns have been eating just fine...as for the goby I am not sure, he has built a fortress under my live rock and remains hidden. My daughter caught a quick glimps of him so I...

I added about 20lbs of live rock to my tank and it started cycling. I am getting a brown algae growth and it looks like small stringy threads comming out of it. It is on the sand, and the rock, and it is spreading everywhere. I know diatoms are normal for a cycle but do they have the stringy...

Well I finally put some pics together. This is a 180 room divider it is split between a sunk in living room and a new family room.

Well I am putting together a list of what I would like for my initial CUC. I was going to use hermits but decided against it because of well, all the bad feed back on them. This is for a 180 around 200 pounds of dead base rock. I do not want to overkill my CUC so they do not starve to death so I...

Just a curious question, If I have enough base rock already and decide not to buy any live rock, is there anyway to grow the purple coraline on the base rock without using live rock? Just wondering.

I started my cycle on Monday and checked ammonia today and it was .5 I was expecting a week or more, I am using 2 shrimp no live rock,only base, 180 pounds of sand, half of it is cultured live sand. I checked readings twice and they both showed the same (different tubes) should I take the...
