Today our mappa puffer has been acting very weird for him. We've had him for probably about six months. He was about the size of a quarter when we first got him and now he is roughly 2.5 inches or so. Today he's been sitting in a shaded area under the rocks and not swimming around like normal...

Things disappear lol. We recently upgraded our 55 to a 150 extra high and as amazing as the tank is you never see some of hte things that are in it. for example Sea hare have not seen it since it was introduced. sally lightfoot. same thing mcculloghis pseudochromis has managed to find a way to...

Ok Received my dual stage DI add on to my RO and got everything hooked up. Let it run for a bit and decided Id check the TDS meter to see if I had managed to reach that magical 0 or 1 reading and all I get is ERR.   I did move the TDS meter probe to after the DI unit. but even my in reading is...

I have been battling a cyano out break and a little hair algae in my setup and I have reason to believe that my storage containers are leeching stuff back into my top off and mixed water. Water comes out of my RO unit nearly perfect but im still getting it. I do need to test the water though...

Wife and I have decided to upgrade our 55 gallon with overflow to a 150 4 wide tank. Settled on the biggest tank we could really do in the space that we have the wall space for. Im just curious if It would hold on the floor. Im more than positive im going to get a contractor to come in and take...

Well I've been wanting a pistol shrimp goby pair for the longest time and finally decided I wanted to setup a tank so I could have a super cool goby and pistol shrimp combo. one issue with the pistol shrimp goby pair is that they dig and hide among the rocks so I settled on a peninsula theme in...

Well thats what I'm calling it. I've had the urge to set up a tank in my office for quite some time and have always loved the peninsula styled look so I've been slowly piecing it together. Have a 20 gallon High tank Current filter (resembles an overflow I'm drawing a blank on the name)...

Anyone seen the peninsula idea done in a nano style? Always liked the style and the wife is in love with the idea of a puffer. A puffer in my reef = . So Ive been toying with the idea of setting up a 20 high using the spare 150 pendant on it and doing a pair of odd ball clowns( picasso...

Does this exist. I want to upgrade from the coralife 65 but dont have a lot of room in the wet dry compartment. eventually Ill build a larger sump but right now I have to work with what I got. Was looking at the precision marine redline series and that would work for me just was unsure how...

I just recently bought and hooked up a coralife pure flo II ro unit and it seems like it produces more waste water than pure water. it seems to be almost a 2 to 1 ratio as well. Is this normal? dependent on the quality of water Im feeding it? I know the water in the area is supposedly high in...

Has anyone tried this? I have an itch for a project and just so happen to have a small pico tank i could do it on. Im sure the cost would be a bit much but I want to look into it? I know the Solaris light fixtures are out now so it can be done. Mine just wont be so high tech. So anyone have...

My long spine urchin thinks he should redecorate and he only likes to knock things over in exceptionally hard to reach places. grrrrr

We have a small juvenile mappa puffer that we have had since he was the size of a quarter. As he has gotten bigger his coloring has changed to a golden color. he definately has the striping and patterning of a mappa but the color is different from any mappa ive seen. Has anyone ever seen a...

I was just curious if the color of the mantle of a clam was a direct correlation to the amount of light they need. For example. I have an ultra blue maxima that is about 14 inches from the light that is thriving. A blue crocea that is thriving. But I have a very very green crocea about the...

Ok currently I have a 55 gallon in an outside unheated shed. the tank was given to me and will be setup when we move into the new house. Im extremely worried about the seals going bad being in the cold weather. It will be there for another month or so. Is this a bad idea? do i need to try...

Ok pico owners what are you using for lighting? the standard 50/50 9 watter just isnt cutting it. Here are my stipulations. no halides. must be small do not want it to be overly large and hanging over the edge. mounting legs a plus. just want to keep some lps and softies. What is actually...

Well after getting rid of our clam killing machine (sally lightfoot) we decided to give them another shot here are our new clams. They are in a 37 gallon under a 150 metal halide about ten inches from the light. crocea maxima I feel the top down show it best. Ill post pics of the golden...
