Ok, let me start with giving you all my set-up. 75 gallon, 80lbs LR,mostly fish, with a couple of mushroom corals and a leather coral. Lighting, two 175 10k MH's, one 150 10k mh, moonglows and two blue actinics. 2 inch sandbed. I have a small Sea Reef wetdry and an HOB Protein Skimmer...

I have had this guy for almost tow months and he has been doing great....growing, hosting, eating well. The thing was as healthy as could be, then two days ago I noticed it was getting smaller and closing more often....water tests showed great, no changes and then today completely closed up and...

So a freind of mine is getting into the hobby big time and going all out no holds barred, money no object and his wife came to me because he is looking for some kind of "everything" controller" . sorry, those were her words.......lights, powerh heads, monitors levels and water level. ........any...

ok, so I have had a LTA for about a month now, but over the last three feedings, I have a Tomatoe clown that is really making this a chore. All of the sudden this little guy LOVES raw shrimp. Everytime I place any in the LTA, the fish plays tug of war with it over the shrimp and always...

So in three small spots in my tank I have these persistant patches of red slime algae of some sort. Any idea what I can get to gobble it up? Its a beautiful color too!

I was able to snap a quick pic, but today after three weeks, Mata, one of my clowns(guess which kind, and the other ones name) was finally playing in my LTA. She is still a little slow to go back to it, but once she does she wallows in it for a long time. I thought I was the one that bought a...

when you guys do your water changes........do you mix water with the same salinity or do you go with a smaller amount........some debate in my house going on about this.

Has anyone ever used the Mardel in tank Ammonia monitor? I have one for a couple weeks now and it is showing zero ammonia, but just for kicks I used my Aquarium Parmaceuticals saltwater master kit and it was showing between 00 and .025 on the scale........Everything in the tank is thriving and...

or maybe just one..I call this the corner of life. an 80 gallon tanks and everything in the tank hangs right here!!

I think my firefish likes my LTA. He doesn't get too close to it, but he always is near.

So I have a 75g tank with not too much in it at all. 2 Tomatoe Clowns and LTA, a pencil urchin and lots of hermits. My question is.....in a tank that size, would putting 2 O Clowns in there be a big mistake with the Tomatoes?

ok, this is just a question i've often wondered about but never had to "worry" about......I've been lucky with my fish eating over the years so I've never needed this, but when you guys refer to soaking food in garlic.........is there a special fish food garlic or are you talking about garlic...

So, three weeks ago, I moved everything over from my 29 gallon to my 75......used all the sand, all the LR, all the water, and some water from another established tank. I made a major lighting upgrade, from an aqualight pro with two 55w, 50/50's and a 150 watt MH 15k.........to, that plus two...

ok so I went ahead and built a closed loop system to eliminate powerheads. I got it up and running by priming it. I put a T in the intake to prime it so I would be able to cap it off when its running. I can't glue the cap on in case I have to re prime it for some reason. The problem I am...

ok, I have been in the hobby for several years now, and have always done FOWLR. Actually thats still where I am at, but over the years I never saw any reason to go out and spend mega bucks on all this "fancy" lighing. Previous to this I had a 29 gallon FOWLR with an aqua light pro two 55w...

how does one go about moving one of these guys. I am putting a pre filter on my closed loop intake and he's kinda in the way.

ok, as I was getting ready to move my 29 gallon to my 75 gallon, I notices a few tiny little brittle star looking critters on my LR. They are all white and no bigger than my thumb nail. Heres the kicker, I've had all the LR for about 6 years, and haven't had a brittle star in the tank for...

My yellow watchman Goby, Melvin, whom I have had for two years, today decided he was going to cruise around the TOP of the tank and ended up going for quite the rollercoaster ride. I was checking my water level in my sump and low and behold, after not being able to find Melvin the the tank, I...

Ok so I just transfered everything from my 29 gallon to my 75 (FIANLLY I MIGHT ADD) and over the 29 I had a coralife lighting fixture with a 150w 15K MH and two 55w 50/50's. Well a freind of mine left the hobby and dropped off a setup for two 175w MH/with ballast. I am thinking of mounting...

more so how. I plan to run it one week a month or so just to shine up my water a little. How do I go about it. i have a sump, so should I just thrown it in a filter sock and put it in one of the chambers or is there another special trick I should know about? Thanks
