I currently have a 29 gallon FOWLR with some simple, easy corals-- a hammer, numerous zoanthid species, mushrooms and xenia. I have three fish- a yellow tail blue damsel, a false percula clown and a sixline wrasse. I would like to upgrade this tank to a 55 gallon this spring. I'd like to include...

We need to move our mini-reef, a 10 gallon tank, from the basement to the first floor. Is there anything specific we need to know to do this? I think we will need to remove all of the rocks... will our corals on the rocks be okay if temporarily exposed to air, i.e. in the time it takes to move...

Can anyone help us ID this coral? Any specifics on care requirements would be appreciated too!

I am getting out of the marine hobby and have a bunch of nice lights and new skimmer for sale. Is there a forum here to place the ads, or is that not allowed?

I am seriously considering breaking down my 50 gallon marine tank due to lack of time and interest at this point. I would really hate to kill all the things on my live rock, though, so I'd like to find someone to take it, free of charge. I have about 20 pounds, near as I can tell. Catch is that...

These are some of the animals I was thinking of checking out for my 50 gallon reef. I am hopefully going to start the corals first before adding mobile inverts and fish.Clean-up Crew: Currently 12 Astraea sp. snails and 8 blue leg hermits... thinking of adding a few more blue leg hermits and...

Here's two pics I snapped of my 50 gallon wanna-be-eventually-maybe reef tank. :) It's got about 40 lbs of rock in it at this point-- half is true live rock from the LFS and half is baserock. I am adding more as the finances allow and hope to get up to about 60-70 lbs.

Bought some new live rock today and it is now covered in what appear to be small, mint green "fan worms." They are about dime sized when fully spread out, are living in holes in the rock and retract right quick when hermits crawl near them. We found a picture online that looked like them-- it...

Tank is a 50 gallon. It will have 60-70 lbs of liverock when all is said and done. Coralife Super Skimmer 65. Currently running an Emp 280 on it to help with mixing the salt (in addition to the two SEIO pumps I am running) I don't know if I should leave the emp on or not. I am somewhat torn on...

In what order should I add the following fish to my aquarium? -- Dwarf zebra lionfish -- Snowflake moray eel -- Red Diana hogfish Last question is about puffers... I have read books that indicate that many puffers stay small and are relatively harmless. Other sources indicate that they are fin...

I just hooked up my SEIO pumps and the one is crazy noisy!! Is this something that will go away over time, or did I do something wrong? Or are they always this noisy??

I have a couple of very straight pieces of leftover red slate from various freshwater tanks. I would like to use two of them as a side and ceiling for a cave in my new SW reef tank. I will cover them with LR so they won't be visible, but would they leech anything into the tank that would be...

I am setting up a 50 gallon aquarium. It will house a snowflake moray eel. In freshwater circles, it is often reccomended that if you are going to house "diggers" like cichlids with big rocks, that you put egg crate on the bottom of the tank so if a rock were to topple, the tank bottom would be...

I currently have a 50 gallon tank that I am going to set up as a reef, with simple (i.e. hard to kill) corals such as xenia, polyps and the like. I want to have a dwarf lion (either a fuzzy or a zebra) and possibly a snowflake moray eel. I know that as preds they will require frequent water...

A dwarf lionfish and a snowflake moray eel? Doable, yay or nay?

It's been established since January.

I have a cycling 10 gallon saltwater tank with 12 pounds of liverock. I would like to keep a mantis shrimp in this tank, but it is a glass tank. Should I be worried? Also, will mantis shrimp hurt corals?

Here are some decent pics of my 5.5 gallon nano "reef" tank. Details: Established: January '08 Chemistry: Ammo 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates >5, salinity 1.025 Circulation: AquaClear50 (100 gph) filter- no media except a bag of phosguard Filtration: ~10 pounds of liverock Lighting: 36 watts PC...

I picked up 5 hermit crabs yesterday. I had read about blues, scarlets and a few others. They didn't have any blues and I did not want to get all scarlets, so I picked up one with orange legs that I thought was a "halloween hermit." I am now almost certain that he is a very small giant hermit...

I did my first water test today on the 5.5 gallon mini-marine live rock tank. Remember... added the liverock on Saturday. So it's been in there 5 days. I've got nothing... except some barely readable nitrates. Maybe 5 ppm. All the rest are zero across the board, and it is a brand new test kit...
