I have a question regarding critters that live in your DSB and the amount of LR in a tank. I want to add more LR to my tank but I am worried that if I cover up too much of my sand bed my sand sifting critters will perish. I love the look of most of the tanks here on SWF.com with lots of LR...

I added a 500 watt MH retro to my canopy tonight. I already had 440 watts of VHO. I am going to run the VHO's as actinic. I didn't get the MH bulbs yet (they will there this week).

My RBTA split 2 weeks ago, one stood in the original spot and the other moved to another rock. A few nights ago I can't find the one that moved. It can't get into my overflow without coming out of the water :notsure:. Also my clowns split up at first, one went to each anemone, now there both in...

I saw a someone posted a picture of a Blue Velvet Nudibranch here with some questions. I can't seem to find the post but I do remember that person getting information that it only eats a certain type of sponge. I did find some info on a site that is selling that exact specimen and it does say...

I just picked up a Leather Toadstool from a LFS that was absolutely gorgeous. It was kind of stuck to 2 different rocks and the guy peeled it away from the really big base rock. Anyway I acclimated it for an hour and placed it in my tank. Right now it seems to be slouching over, also the smell...

I removed my bio balls and the chamber that they were in and just put a filter bag over the overflow pipe that goes to my sump. The pipe was connected to a piece of glass at the top of my sump but I removed it from the glass and submerged it in the sump with the bag over it. But now I have a ton...

Hey guys any advice, I removed my filter media from my sump, I only now have bioballs with no filter pad above it. The reason I did this was to get more pods into my tank, but now my protein skimmer collection cup keeps filling real quick. I am builing a sump/fuge that I will add to my tank next...
