I recently was able to pick up some free lighting ... It was actually from the Wii retail displays - the store I work at was tossing the display so I was able to grab two of the lights. They are T4 - 8 watt blue bulbs -- I realize they aren't high output so they probably would do much for...

I recently got two clownfish and a small cleaner shrimp. Lately, I have noticed the shrimp will sometimes come out and the clown fish will swim near it- and the shrimp comes out and tries to clean them. He is successful most of the time, and the clowns do not let him too near - but enough to...

I picked up two fish for my tank today...

Here are a couple shots of my tank.. I am looking to buy a sunpod lighting system so I can get a BTA, 2 clowns, and maybe a firefish - and a cleaner shrimp. Well - I might as well just throw out a slew of questions - and if I don't get answers I'll post in the correct boards. Any suggestions...

I currently have a Fish with Live Rock tank - 37 gallons TALL ... That only leaves 20" for a light fixture - so if I am looking to upgrade my lights, to MH probably, does anyone know of a good light fixture, with LED's and actinics ? - or just tell me - -what would be a good lighting system if I...

So, I've mentioned I have regretted getting a 37g column tank for my first tank before, simply because of its size, depth, and other things, but I didn't have a lot of space either. Anyways, I would like to get some decent lighting, but it's only 20" across the top since it is a column tank...

So... I'm kind of at a funky stage with my fish... I didn't want either of them but after my bad luck, I needed hardy fish, and this is what I have... Fish: Purple Pseudochromis and Yellow-Tailed Damsel I also have a coral-banded shrimp. I'm kind of attached to the fish now. PP was somewhat...

Quick question... I have a deep purple growth on my rocks and it is spreading throughout my tank. I assumed it was coralline but as I see other pictures of coralline on here, i see it on rocks and on glass, but not on the sand. Almost all of my sand is covered in this stuff. Does corraline...

Argh! I try to trust my LFS but I think I'm starting to learn I cannot. So I finally had a survivor - a Yellow-tailed blue damsel. Since he was doing well I wandered down to the fish store and made an impulse buy, I know I shouldn't have, but just wanted to get something more in my tank...

So, I get up this morning, turn on the aquarium lights and only see one damsel, i had 3. If you have read my other posts, I let my tank cycle, bought 2 clowns, and they died in four days. So I did a water change, retested water, all ok, waited a couple of days and got 3 damsels. Well I see...

Hey everyone... so if you don't know, my tank cycled introduced some snails/crabs, doing fine -- bought two perc clowns and they both died (i think brooklynella) ... So LFS owner suggests that I get some damsels to see if they live since they are cheap and hardy - cuz he didn't want to admit it...

Check this out- courtesty of msnbc, "week in pictures" A donut-shaped tank in Japan - this would make for a nice reef tank!

So - quick question - trying to find the answer so I can start treating, just wanted the OK....didn't want to stress my fish for no reason, unless it sounds like there is good reason to treat. I lost a clown to brooklynella (i think it was that) - the other clown doesn't look like it has it, but...

So - I've been going to a local, privately owned LFS - I've spoken with the owner and some poeple who work there, and they seem pretty reputable - I've noticed however, they do try to get sales, relying on the people to know what they are getting into (i.e. - i have a newly cycled tank that I...

Here is a link to my post in the new hobbyist forum! HELP! https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=215118

OK - so my new clowns have been doing fine, and then this morning I noticed the larger one swimming around the sand , breathing pretty heavy, and just spinning kind of, in circles over the sand - I noticed he has this white stuff over his face, head, towards the gills, it looks like dead skin...

So I introduced my first fish today - 2 percs (posted pics) They seemed great through acclimation and everything, great through first feeding, and even started swimming around the tank more, instead of staying towards one of the corners (like they were at first) I topped off some of the water...

I got two fish today - 2 percs (clowns) Orlando and Rosalind are looking pretty healthy, after acclimation, swimming throughout the tank and just checking everything out - they usually stick pretty close together. Excited to just have something to watch in my tank that are a little more...

OK - so I've done a search and couldn't find much info... I have a new tank - some diatoms, I believe, with LR and aragonite, etc... so I bought 2 turbo snails, 3 nassarius snails, and 3 blue-legged hermits today... I acclimated them for about 1.5 hours and put them in my tank - immediately two...

OK - so I finally got a powerhead - a penguin 550 (not a good selection in this town - was looking for seio's or maxijets since they were recommended on here) - so anways, where is a good place to have it? right now I have it to the left of my filter, blowing kind of against the glass on the...
