For those of you who do not scrape the back of your tanks, do you notice a reduction of nitrates in your tank? I have been scraping mine for the past 2 years, but now I wonder if I would benefit from just letting it cover the back glass.

I've had mine for 2 years now and I've recently started to notice her color is getting darker. Is this just a part of the aging process?

I had a total tank crash back in February because my HVAC got stuck with the heat on in the house and my tank rose to really high temps. I lost everything except my fish. Since then, I have struggled with water problems. I just got everything under control last month and now my nitrates have...

During the time I have had to wait for my water parameters to get back on track, I have made some modifications to my tank. I have rebuilt my canopy and added Metal Halides so I will be able to have SPS in my tank. My question is how much flow do they need? I am currently running 4 Maxi Jet...

I was wanting to get one of these for my big tank. So this weekend I went to my LFS and inquired about them. The guy I spoke to there said that alot of people have problems keeping them after all the aptisia was eaten. I'm not interested in them for controlling an aptisia problem. I just have...

Has anyone ever kept pygmy angels with tree sponges?

I'm starting a FOWLR tank. I've never had one before. I have a 90 ga and 10 ga reef tanks, but I've never had a FO tank. I would like to have some fish that I could never keep in a reef. I already have it setup and I'm just waiting for it to cycle. My specs are: 30 gallon high w/ 1/2" thick...

I'm ready for an up grade to MH. I'm currently running 2 blue and 2 white 48" VHO's on my 90 gallon. I'm looking for suggestions, because my center brace is plastic. Should I do a retrofit, what the most energy efficient balast, etc...? Anything will help, because I don't always trust my LFS...

I see that some of you guys keep anemones in your nanos. My 10 gallon is almost cycled and I was wanting to get one. I can't convince my husband to put one in our 90 but he said that I can have one in this tank. I'm up for any suggestions/recomendations that you may have for this size tank. I...

Here's some of my coral pics with an Olympus Camedia.

I have a spaghetti leather that go started to die. We had no clue as to why it was dying until we cut out of the top of it to save it. Out climbed a nasty brisstle worm(the bad kind). My question is, Should I reattach it with super glue or should I use another method?

Are there any types of clams that can be kept under lower lights? By lower I mean not MH. I have a 90 gallon with 4-48" VHO's and a ten gallon with a 24" compact(8watts/gallon). I know that most clams require high intensity lighting, but I can't make the upgrade right now to MH because of a lack...

Ok, I'm new to nanos. I already have a 90 gallon reef that I have had successfully running for a year. After much discussion, my husband and I decided to start a 10 gallon softy tank. We went to our LFS on Saturday and got our LS, a 24" compact (8 watts per gallon), 18 lbs of LR, and a Emperor...

I've had a problem for the last month or so with my salinity being a little too high. My LFS said that it could be as a result from using Tech CB. He has had us doing half fresh and half salt water changes along with us only using the Tech CB once a week. Well, I bought a test kit to see where...
