    Moving tank onto new stand. What should I do?

    I found this great looking new stand and canopy, I want to use with my 75gallon reef. I have a 3" sandbed, and about 90lbs of live rock in my tank. Would I have to break down the entire tank to move the tank from one stand to another? Can I just drain 75% of the water into another clean tank...

    Are you FREAKING kidding me?!?!? My beautiful reef tank...ahhhhh

    Yea, luckily, I saw the rock it was darting in and out of. Is it probable that is the actual rock he is living in, and when I do my high-salinity dip tomorrow, it will come out?

    Are you FREAKING kidding me?!?!? My beautiful reef tank...ahhhhh

    I've had my tank setup for about a year and a half. I have several thousand dollars into it, as I did everything from scratch. I have beautiful corals, fish, rock work, etc. It's been at least 9-10 months since I've added any kind of rock work to it. Within the past month or so, I've noticed...

    Electric company and your reef

    My total bill is about $250. But that's to A/C a 2800sq ft house. The actual fish tank useage is probably around 50-60 bucks a month.

    Switching stands...NEED ADVICE!

    Well, the canopy on my current stant is starting to show signs of black mold. I really don't like the stand anyway, so I was going to go buy a nice stand from the LFS. Now here is the hard part... The obvious; turn off all the pumps and disconnect the plumbing to the wet dry. Here is my dilemma...

    how do u raise alk!!?!?

    I know people don't like it, but I've been using Seachem Reef Builder to maintain great water for over a year, without any problems. At $14 per bottle, and it lasts like 6 months, I think it's a great deal!

    Just made a SWF.com order! Look what I got

    I have very recently (i.e. within the past 48 hours) been infested with some hair algae on my rocks, and a slight amount on the glass. I have a 75gallon that's been running for about 1 year. I have the following fish already: Mandarin Goby Diamond Goby Maroon Clown Black/White Damsel Red Lip...

    Mandarin won't come out and play?!?! Someone help

    None of the fish have even acknowledged his presence. The blenny just went over there and was chillen on the rocks in his general area, but they don't even seem to notice him. THe mandarin has been poking its head out above the rocks a little more frequently now. I think its deciding if it...

    Mandarin won't come out and play?!?! Someone help

    Reno, I must have gotten flukes, because neither my maroon or the damsel are agressive in the least. They almost school together, never nip at the blenny, or at any other of their invertibre tank mates. The breathing looks good on the mandarin. She is doing exactly what you said. Nipping on the...

    chromis schooling in 220

    I really like them. I would say 10 should be good. You don't want to overshadow the rest of your tank.

    Mandarin advice... Anyone successfully keep one for an extended period of time?

    Part of the reason I decided to go with a reef tank is because I really wanted a beautiful mandarin goby as part of my tank. I have a 75 gallon, w/ approximately 80lbs of live rock. The tank has been set up for about 5 months with 80lbs of live sand, and the live rock was added about a month...

    Make my tank, yours! Need opinions on what else to get...

    Thanks natureboy. The mandarin is on my list, but like you said, I'm waiting a few months to build that population so he doesn't go hungry. I was thinking about a yellow tang, and an emperor angel as well.
