I have a 10 gallon that has been sitting with nothing in it but has filtration going, 40 lbs of live sand and about 20 lbs of live rock. I was thinking on moving the rock and sand over to my 55g and just doing a poison dart frog terrarium in the 10g. Would it be ok to move the sand over? If so...

I was at my LFS just moments ago, and saw a Coralife quad 96 watt compact fluorescent light and hood for sale....My question is do you think 96 watts is overkill for a 10 gallon (20 inch long) nano? Will I fry coral or if not fry them have them growing so much they will be spewing out the sides...

I was wondering if it is ok to take some of the LR I have in my tank and give it a good scrub? I wouldnt mess with any of the base rock as I do not want to disturb the sandbed. But some of the LR that has no corals attached to it, I would like to give it a good scrubbing just to get some of the...

so I went out yesterday and bought a serpent star, I put him in the tank and he was fine...not 30 mins later....I came and looked at the tank to see if he was OK and I notice all my nas snails rose up from their hiding in the sand bed and began eating him. They were literally inside the...

I recently went snorkeling along some jetties and caught this fish. I'm assuming he is a goby of some sort and is doing very well in the tank. He is very peaceful and has a really good personality. When I first put him in the tank he seemed a bit drab as far as his coloration goes (a grey motled...

I was wondering if the better your skimmer the more fish you can have in your tank? I have had my 55g set up for about 4 months now and just got a new skimmer (old one was not so good) the new one is rated for 225g tanks. Im wondering if I have reached maximum capacity as far as fish go? Here is...

So my tank has been up for about 4 months now and Im getting this bright green algae on the LR...its everywhere lol...there is no texture to it really it kind of just goes into the rock and looks like the rock. My params are all good, fish are happy (the few that I have) Not putting to much in...

Ive had my 55g tank set up for about 3 1/2 months now. All is well I suppose, water is stable, my parameters read as follows Calcium 480, Ammonia 0, Nitrate 10, Nitrite 0, PH 8.1. I do religious 10% water changes at least once a week, sometimes twice a week using RO water and Redsea Salt Mix ...

I have a bullseye pistol shrimp which I love, he has his own little house under a peice of my LR, his house he made has a front door, backdoor and a side entrance. He is about 3 1/2 inches long fully sprawled out and holds no bones about defending his little abode which I might add he shares...

Well Im at work and bored, so just browsing around reading up on different fish and I stumbled upon a couple sites with some information...this is where I get confused as to what to beleive from people and what I read. I guess Im wondering where are people getting these supposed test results as...

So I'm needing some blue in my tank, right now I have quite a bit of red, yellows, and orange color. Would love a blue fish or something on the blue side of the spectrum ...I'm creating a reef tank eventually, so the fish would definately need to be "reef friendly". In my tank now is 1 tomato...

ok so I finally got my new lighting, now MHs arent an option for me so I had to go with T5 lights, I bought a 4 strip T5 light 2 blue 2 whites, and this is for a 55g...I would just like to know if this is sufficient for just some basic corals, Im not interested in the more advanced corals, but...

so my 55g has been up and running for about 2 1/2 months, Ive got about 45lbs of LR in there now, planning on getting another 10lbs (fully cured) this weekend. Everything has been going good, I finally added fish this past weekend, small tomato clown, 2 firefish gobies, and a watchman goby...

Im trying to start my first reef tank up, I have everything I need as far as filtration, skimmers, water test kits, etc...Im not new to the hobby but am new to keeping corals. Now Im not looking to spend a ton of money on lighting and I cannot go with something that hangs above the tank (i.e. on...

well got my live rock set up after curing and whatnot, and turned on the lights before I went to work and oticed I have a ton of amphipods roaming around which I dont think are a problem from what I have gathered. But I have noticed these long thin tenticles coming out of the rock, they come out...

Ok so I was just laying in bed trying to fall asleep and was thinking of odd aquariums, and I came up with using an old existing pool. I'm not serious about this was just curious as if to this would work. Would it be possible to use an old existing pool as a reef aquarium? I mean if everything...

Hi, as the title says I'm returning to world of saltwater aquaria I used to have a 75g FOWLR tank about 6 years ago and had it up and running for about 5 years prior to me having to move and sell it to my dismay, but life had to be lived so I had to put the hobby aside for a while. Good news is...
