When I got out of the hobby a few years ago there were no bio pellets, no algae scrubber, and GFO was just starting to become common place. As I evaluate my future tank plans it's starting to look like from as far as I can tell is that a bio pellet reactor plumbed so the output goes straight to...

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in here for over 4 years. Can't believe it's been that long since we moved and I decided to sell off my reef. Oh well. Fast forward to now and we're planning on moving from Ohio back to New Hampshire in the next couple months and then we'll start building...

Well i had a scary moment this week when i thought we were going to have to move out of our place really really quickly and came to the realization that i really don't want to have to move two 75 gallon tanks. Needless to say, we're not moving quickly but I'm going to downsize my tanks until we...

I have a small digi who has lost 2 branches in the past 2 days. One by me bumping into it, another by a fish bumping into it. Are they usually brittle? Wondering if he just isn't healthy. Running two 175w MH.

Got a new camera. Still learning to use it but i got some shots. Blue Striped Shrooms Armor of Gods Orange Monti, light green plating monti on the left, and Lois my Sebae Clown sneaking in on the right. and Lastly a full tank shot.

I have a monti that got a little shaded for a bit and had a little die off. Now there is coraline growing on the part that died off. Should i be worried about the coraline spreading and killing the living part of the monti or will the monti, now that it's getting better light come back and...

Will a Picasso Trigger or Valentini Puffer it corals?

I was on my local reef club forum and someone was putting a fuge on his tank and used pulverized lime stone as the substrate, it's basically a fine sand. anyone heard of this? if it's viable why don't we use it in our DTs? It's like 3 bucks for a 40 pound bag at lowes.

Is it just me or are keynas a pain in the butt because they drop babies everywhere ones they get big? I've given away probably 20 babies in the past 4 weeks.

My girlfriend got a Sony DSC-H9 for xmas and ofcourse i want to take pics of my tank. Does anyone have this camera and have any settings or tips for getting good pictures? Thanks.

Yeah, so i ordered two pacific coast PS100 (without a pump) protein skimmers, for whatever reason they missed my order so i called them to find out what was up and they said "oh, we're out of that skimmer but if it's ok we'll upgrade you and send you the PS200 at no extra charge" so you're...

Has anyone used Iwasaki's 175w 15000k MH bulb? It's the highest PAR bulb that isn't a 10k that I've found. Is it nice and blue?

I'm thinking of putting together a frag tank. I'm wondering if one 400w 10k MH would be enough light to cover a 48"x48"x12" tank. everything would be propped up on egg crate to get them as high up as i can. so most things will only be a couple inches from the surface of the water. I would put...

I got an anemone from a guy getting out of the hobby but it was in poor health and completely bleached. It's a BTA. It's white with purple tips. I've kept him alive just by feeding him mysis and krill and formula 2 pellets (it's been this way for 4 months now). It doesn't like to be in the...

UPS just delivered my 2 Koralia 2's woohoo!

I have a big toadstool leather that is currently sitting down in the sand and is kind of block my view of a few corals and it's going to start to shade some near by corals as well. I'd like to move him towards the back of my tank on the rock work (like the big one reefkeepz has). Right now all...

I have an encrusting monti that I'm thinking about moving up on to a rock that is higher up in the tank from where it's sitting now so it can be more square to the light. I have zoos on the rock i want to move it to that are about 3 inches from where i want to put it. when both start to spread...

I'm thinking about picking up a couple Koralia 2 for my 75 gallon reef. so after adding those together with my filters I'll have 1800GPH flow. Is this going to be too crazy in my tank?

I just picked a coral from a lfs(not your normal store, they specialize in saltwater only and more specifically corals) but i already forgot the name of the coral that i got. They look just like mini-duncans. My camera sucks so i can't give you a picture at the moment. I'll keep trying.

What would cause my alk to go up and my calcium to go down? I'm now at calc 340 and my alk at 14dkh i tested a couple days ago and i was at 380 and 13dkh. I'll be doing a water change this afternoon and i'll measure again tomorrow but if this is going to be a future trend i'd like to know what...
