I just purchased a Red Sea Max 34 gallon Plug & Play. The tank itself was assembled before I purchased it. I am having difficulty accessing the filtration media, however. Does anyone know how to disassemble part of the hood so I can just access the filtration area? Thanks so much!

Well, I'm cycling my tank using Oceanic and just tested for Calcium. Needless to say, Calcium is through the roof and my pH is a little low. I proceeded to do some research on it and it seems many people have had these same problems. Just wanted to get everyone's opinions on Tropic Marin, as...

Well, I noticed these on the glass of my nano today. Here are the pictures, but they aren't very clear. I had to use the reverse end of my binoculars as a magnifying glass...haha. But the closest thing I am reminded of is a zig-zagged pearl necklace. Each of the tiny dots are less than 1/2...

I'm looking to buy a hang-on skimmer for my new 30 gallon. I don't have the funds right now to invest in something too expensive....but in the below $200 range works. Currently I have a Hagen AquaClear Hang-on Filter and about 30-35lbs live rock. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm setting up a new 30 gal tank (24"x24"x12"). I really want a lighting system that has moonlights incorporated. I found a system that has 1-65w Dual Daylight (10,000K & 6,700K) & 1-65w Dual Actinic (460nm & 420nm) and 2 moonlights in the same ballast. I will only be keeping mushrooms, soft...

Hey guys...well, I've finally decided to upgrade from my 5 gal nano to a 30 gal high. Currently I have about 5-8lbs live rock, a few inverts, and some out of control Xenia...haha. Question is...what is the best way to make the move. I was planning on doing a water change and putting some of...

I just purchased a new pH meter and it says I need to condition it first with 7.01pH buffer solution. Does anyone know where I can buy this?? Thanks! :)

Are metal halide lights that you buy for the aquarium the same as the "grow" lights that people use for plants, etc. A lot of the systems look exactly the same, but they are labeled as grow lights. Any ideas??

I'm curious to see how some of you mounted your retro-fit kits, metal halide or other. Just trying to get some ideas...thanks! :)

Hi guys...I'm looking for a 2X250 watt or higher Metal Halide system that is new or used. I would prefer to have a two pendant system. I will pay shipping and any other costs. Thanks so much! mistyd927@hotmail.com :)

Can someone explain the purpose/process of a Calcium Reactor...I'm a little confused. Thanks! :)

Hey guys...I just wanted to see if you guys had used a good Calcium supplement or multi-supplement for nanos. It seems like a lot of the supplements are intended for larger tanks, making it difficult to dose. Any ideas?

Hey guys...I just wanted to finally post some pictures of my 5 gallon bowfront. I just put some new corals in (mushrooms and sun coral) and need some suggestions on arranging everything. I can pretty much move everything except the Xenia...he's attached himself to the rock and is moving up...

Hello, everyone! I have a 75 gallon glass tank (no stand) (Dimensions: 48½ X 18½ X 21) with no leaks for sale: $100 or best offer. The filter I have to go with this tank is a brand new Pro Clear Aquatics (formerly Aqua Clear Aquatics) Pro 75 Wet/DryFilter with built in Protein Skimmer. The...

I found this pod near my starfish last night and extracted him. I'm not sure, however, if this guy is good or parasitic. Now that I'm looking at pictures, it kinda seem like a mysid shrimp, maybe? So maybe I ruined dinner?? And sorry for the picture quality, I kinda crumpled him a...

I'm having some difficulty feeding my orange sea star. I've had him for about two months and he's still active, so I'm sure he's scavenges some. I've tried multiple times to put some seaweed selects and mysis underneath his body or in his arms, but he never grabs on or just moves away from it...

I've found a person selling as follows for $25! : "250 watt ballast, It will work with a 500watt also... This unit takes a double ended bulb. This auction does not include the bulb.. You get the reflector, ballast, and all the wiring..." This sounds like a good deal, but what is involved in...

How funny!

Well, I'm setting up my new 90 gallon reef ready and have planned to go MH. From what I've read, that seems like my best option with the corals I want to do. Question is, I'm confused about ballasts. When I search for MH products, I see a lot of sockets and stuff, without the ballasts. How...

I'm in the process of setting up my new 90 gallon Oceanic Reef ready. The tank is 24 inches deep. I'm planning on doing most corals and possibly clams. Any suggestions on lighting? I'm curious to see other people's experience with lighting and similar corals. I'm leaning towards metal...
