Hi, I am looking to sell off my aquarium supplies. Money is very very tight so have to do the right thing and quit the hobby for now :( I have a 40g hex tank with approx 50 lbs of nice live rock (fiji premium. All from Dallas North Aquarium). Also a 26g bowfront tank. Live sand, some...

I sold some on <insert auction site here> and the receiver said he put it in his tank and it killed as his dwarf sea horses. I don't see how that could have happened, any one know much about this?

Okay, I need to vent and I don't know anyone else that knows SW stuff so you guys get to hear it instead. I started to pay to have someone come out and service my tank from DNA (yeah.. you DFW'ers know who they are) I figured, they are good, respectable, reputable and can do a better job that I...

Ok, this is my first attempt at the good photo editing. It's not too impressive compared to others I've seen. I used the macro option, it's a 4.0 megapixel... if anyone has any advice on how to make these better let me know. Anyway, my anemone split yesterday! These are pictures throughout...

I sure hope the answer is yes, because I did frag mine. It had fused together as one HUGE shroom (five heads) and came off it's rock. So rather than it float around and find a bad home, I took it and cut it into 5 frags. Well, one has since died and I've been nurturing the other four...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it seems more classified related but I'm not selling anything. I recently sold some caulurpa on the big auction site and I want to make sure I ship it appropiately for them. For caulurpa, do I ship it the same way I would ship corals? In a thermos? Is there...

Does anyone know where you can find/order larger suction cups? I have a small sized in tank refugium and it keeps sliding down because the suction cups aren't holding the weight of it (I'm guessing). I don't want it to slide down and accidently crush someone, and if it keeps sliding down then...

Can I take off my protein skimmer if I added an intank refugium? It's nothing major, but my nitrates are always at zero anyway - and that's with the skimmer getting no activity (collection) what so ever lately. If I remove the protein skimmer do you think it will have a major effect on the tank?

Ok, I'm a little scared atm. I did a water change and it is very cloudy... and I added it to my tank already so it's a done deal. I let it sit for over 24 hours originally then added some more salt today to get the level to 1.025 because it was only reading 1.010 at first (cloudy then as well)...

What is the shortest time period I can leave a spotted mandarin in quarantine (new addition) and still be safe? I want him in the main tank asap since all the live rock is in the MT not the QT. Any suggestions? I have some mysis shrimp I'm feeding him in the meantime, but I'm worried he won't...

double post sorry ***)

Hey guys, both my clownfish seem to be doing pretty well, except I noticed that each of them have a small black dot on them. The male has one behind his fin and the female has one on her side. Any idea what would cause this? I'm pretty sure they are new. Clownfish can't get black ich can...

Okies, I have a question. I would like to build a sump/refugium for my 40 gallon tank. Here is a picture of the tank I have, and I have a 10 gallon (glass) that I want to try and put underneath the stand to make this sump/refugium. So let me ask the first obvious question, wth is the...

I need opinions and advice! How often would you change your water if all your water parameters are reading 0? (nitrates included)

I just bought a house, and am looking to paint. It is water-based latex paint. What precautions would I need to take to make sure the fish tanks are safe from harm?

I need an ID! Two things I have in question. #1 - what is this red stuff growing into my zoos? Is it bad? Is it going to hurt them? #2 - What kind of algae is this? It grows like mad... Several times I have taken the rock out and pulled it out to get rid of it.. it's yucky. Is there a...

Hey guys, I'm hoping to catch Beth before she logs, but if anyone knows the answer to this please throw out some suggestions. I have had my fish in quarantine since 9/19 and I'm very happy to say that they have all lived through the QT process! (Even Oscar!!) Here is a link to the thread in case...

How many nassarius snails would you guys recommend for a 40g tank? I have three so far (one MIA so maybe only two) and my sand isn't as good as I'd like it to be. How many more should I add?

Can anyone ID these? I've heard some different names through out before.. watermelon, maybe green lights.. but I'm not sure. :notsure: anyone know?

Hi, my name is Oscar and as you can probably tell, I'm a lawnmower blenny. I had a hell of a night last night and just wanted to share my experience with you all. Lets start from the beginning. This summer I was a happy care free guy living in new 40g reef tank. I was doing just fine until...
