    Filtration for 30g?

    I have a 30g cube that is a couple of years old now. Right now I only have fish and softies in it, but I want to start keeping sps. I have a HOB protein skimmer and 2 powerheads. It always seems that I have a lot of junk on my sand and live rocks (ditritus I assume). Should I add some sort of...

    Classic Lighting Mistake

    So I made the same mistake that so many others have made in this hobby.... bought the less expensive light thinking I would be satisfied with it. I have a 96w Aqualight PC on my 30g Oceanic Cube (not a biocube). As addictive as this hobby is, I want more, more, more in my tank. I currently have...

    30g cube shots

    So I finally got around to taking a few shots of my 30g Oceanic Cube. I started adding corals only a few months ago, but they all seem to be growing nicely. Anyway, hope you enjoy these few pics.

    High Alkalinity

    Could anyone tell me what the setbacks would be to having a high alkalinity? Everything that I have found about alkalinity talks about fixing low alk.

    Please help identify these

    I just got back from vacation in Destin, Fla., where I caught these. I am acclimating them now, but I want to know what they are before I put them in my tank. I think the fish is a goby, but I am not sure. I have no clue what type the snails are. If anyone knows what these are, it would be a big...

    What are these hitchhikers?

    I noticed what appears to be some sort of worm on a couple of my snails. Can anyone help identify them? Do they need to be removed? I'm still pretty new at this, and I don't know what these are. Any input would be helpful.

    feeding question

    This may be a dumb question, so excuse me for being a newbie. I live in south Louisiana, and we have so many types of seafood like shrimp, crabs and crawfish (for human consumption of course). Can this be fed to my tank inhabitants, too? Again, sorry if this sounds stupid.

    I have a 30 gal FOWLR. One of my two percula clowns is going crazy right now. (Swimming franticly in circles and upside-down). Is there anything I can do? My levels are all fine.
