It took longer than planned to setup my new tank but I am happy with the final result.   I changed the sump and skimmer plans quite a bit- spent more money but its working out very well. Also a friend who wanted to take down their 20g reef gave me all the livestock and rock. It was very well...

It's too soon. I know how hard it is too resist buying a new fish but really none of Centropyge angels should be added to a new tank. These fish graze on all the things that take don;t really get established for months to >1yr. I know from experience. Your pushing your bioload already in a 30...

After 2 years I decided to pull the dsb and plenum from my 30g on Sat. The tank was heading downhill over the last few months. Hair and slime algae were taking over everything. Nitrates were around 30ppm and PO4 was becoming detectable at 0.03. More water changes and Phosphate sponges did not...

Coral are all about 8months old.

No probelms for the first 2 weeks with the new derasa clam bt now my potter's angel consistently nips at the clam mantle and the clam only remains about 10% open. Anyone wait the behavior out or have they found it to just get worse? I anitcipate that I'll have to take one back to the LFS. The...

I had a small Xenia frag that grew 5-10 fold in size over the last 3 months. Always pulsing and looking great. Now i went away for 3days this wekend and wouldn't you know it the Xenia decided to crash while I was gone. I have gone 2-3 days before without adding buffers etc with no problem...

I took this with a cell phone camera. The Diploastrea has been doing very well over the last 8months. matt

I have made many purchases fromt he pet shanty on US 22 west bound next to the bowcraft amusements in scotch plains. quality is good price is average. There is a place off Rt 1 in Philly called the Hidden reef. It is very good. and prices are also good. Hige in supplies and livestock...

I've had the same coral for about 6 weeks. It went through lots of expansions and contractions throughout the day with mostly expansion and tentacles showing at night for the first 4 weeks. Lately it has spent all of the time very contracted. I started to spot feed it at night a few days ago...

I have a mantis about 1 inch long. It spends most of the time burrowing under rocks. he makes a lot of clicking and I caught him today making the noise as he scraped a small tube worm off a piece of LR. Before I start going after him what other stuff might he go after? I have frogspawn...

Yes it is a master test kit. I did get the sailfert kits for Ca/Alk and P04. The master kit did react to the rise of Amm during the cycle so I basically set .25 to 0 and substract that value from any readng above it.W I am almost fnished with this kit and then I'll buy the sailfert kits.:cool:

the tank is almost 4 months old with 2 small damsels that have been there from the start. The NH3 reading is now always 0.25 never 0. It did spike back in the beginning. I have tested freshly prepared water made with reef crystals and get the same reading. The 35lbs of LR in the tank cycled...

I've had this long tentacled plate coral for about two weeks. Its on the bottom off to one side.It was doing very well until about 3 days ago. Noticed a tear at the edge and it is getting worse. Small amount of browning in the area. About 75% of tentacles still extending well. Any chance this...

I recently had a potter's angel become ill and die in the span of 2 days after 4 weeks of robust eating and overall healthy behavior. I bought it without researching it first. I don't think I would try it unless you are willing to quarantine and your tank is very well established with lots of...

Thanks for the advice. Matt
