    Look what I found

    Dont get me wrong when I had my 20 gallon set up I never got anything like this. But I think its because I went to an actual person trying to get rid of some rock, instead of an lfs

    Look what I found

    Oh yeah probably eagle eyes. Are radioactive dragon eyes the same as radioactive green zoas? I was pretty excited when they opened up. It seems like theyre doing perfectly fine too, theyve opened up every day since I got the rock.

    Look what I found

    So my new tank is cycling with cured live rock, I had about 45 lbs, and decided yesterday to add another 20 lbs. I got a really good deal on the rock, and also got a nice surprise on a couple of the pieces. When I was buying it, the guy told me there were a few zoas on some of the rock. I...

    Suggestions for Setting These Lights Up

    Hmm I might try the pipe method. So I just get two pipes and a pipe bender from home depot or lowes. And I attach the pipes to the back of the tank stand? Haha is there any kind of write up on this? I might get confused when I try it.

    Suggestions for Setting These Lights Up

    Today, I bought a Tek T5 36" 8x39 watt lighting fixture for my 36" long 55 gallon tank. Its meant to be hung from the ceiling, but that is absolutely not an option. The ceiling that the tank is under is a vaulted ceiling, and no matter how high I put the screws in the ceiling, the lights would...

    Question About My Cycle

    So I started my cycle about a week ago with cured live rock. I heard if you use cured live rock there isnt much of a cycle at all. Ive been testing the water every couple of days, and put a little brine shrimp in twice. Last week the ammonia went up just a tiny bit, and dropped down the 0 the...

    Enough Light for BTA?

    haha no worries cajonez. BTLDreef: thanks for the reply, I'm actually still deciding if I would like to add sps coral, I'm more of a lps kind of person, but they would make a nice addition. Oh yeah I'll definatly wait awhile before I add any. Ill add a couple fish first and see how the water...

    Enough Light for BTA?

    No it's not the standard 55 gallon. It's an oceanic 55 which are the dimensions I listed above. It's a little wider and deeper. It's 36 inches long.

    Enough Light for BTA?

    My 55 gallon tank is currently cycling. Eventually I will be adding a BTA and I just want to make sure the lights I'm getting will be enough for it. I will be getting the T5 Tek 36" 8x39 watt fixture. Would a BTA be ok with these lights? And while I'm asking, how do you think some sps coral...

    Have Live Rock but Tank Isnt Set Up

    Not good news. I think I have to come up with some else. I realized I dont have any water dechlorinator, and all the pet stores are closed. Is there anyway I can just mix all the salt with water, and still have put the live rock in there without any water dechlorinator?

    Have Live Rock but Tank Isnt Set Up

    Alright, I think I have a ten gallon tank lying around somewhere, or I actually have a couple big tubs as well. I will put all the rock in there, and add some water with the correct salinity, and put a heater and power head in there. Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

    Another Stock List (58 gallon)

    Yeah Id be adding the clowns at the same time, I think if I got two maroons I wouldnt get the marine betta. Matter of fact I might just throw out the idea of the marine betta no matter what I do. I actually found someone who lives close to me who has a few hundred clownfish available, one of...

    Today I bought about 40 pounds of live rock from a guy who needed it sold. I dont have my tank set up yet, but will this weekend. I have the rock in a couple buckets but Im not too sure on what I should do now. Should I add some saltwater to the buckets and let them sit till this weekend? I...

    Acans not really growing anymore(pics)

    I got an Aussie Acan a little while ago, it started off with 4 polyps, but had baby polyps that you couldnt see as well. They came on a plug, and I put the plug on a rock, hoping the acans would start to grow on the rock. Well that hasnt happened, they grew on the plug, but not the rock. Does...

    Peppermint Shrimp eating Frog Spawn

    I actually had a cleaner shrimp for awhile until he got comfortable in the tank. I would feed my coral and even when the coral closed up trying to eat/digest the food he would still try and open them up and get to the food. He went back to the lfs.
