I woke up this morning and found my BEAUTIFUL oyster really open :) On closer examination. There was no Oyster in the shell and my hermit was eating what was left sticking out of the shell. I removed the shell and tested the water. My tank is 10 months old but it was all set up with coral...

Hi, I am in terriable need of a chiller! I'm in Phoenix, AZ and it has been close to 116 for over a week now. It is so hard to keep the AC's (yes I have 2) at even 78 during the day which means my tank is close to 80. Does anyone have a chiller in working condition that they have no use for...

Hi, You may have already figured this one out.... I'm pretty new to Saltwater (8 months). But I have ordered from this site. My suggestion to meet the 79 dollar min. is to buy a cleaning crew. It's cheepest if you create your own. hermits, conch's, shrimp and maybe a starfish. Just an idea...

I used everything from my old tank cc (which I intend to change to LS) water bio the works. it's been up and running for 5 weeks on it's own, it has all my inverts in it now. But the live rock is not in there yet. The RO unit your refering to is that a unit that goes into my sink (not my...

My whole understanding of tanks is changing. So I don't need water conditioner or stress relief if i use tap water? JUST SALT NOTHING ELSE? I should buy a skimmer. I saw a Pirzm Pro Delux up to 300 gallons for $150 or a Coralife Needle Wheel up to 220 for $169 which is better? I have no...

I was adding chemicals to take out all the minor levels. So I'm going to look into costs for a skimmer. About the chemicals though when I do a water change or add fish (which is not happening for at least a month) what do I add? Right now my tank is full of copper but I'm also running the...
