Im trying to finish up my site and I forgot the names of my darn fish. One of them I am sure is a Goby (Tho the file name is blennie.jpg) but I cant remember the specific name. The other one I thought was called a rockskipper. But if I am going to put them on the web I would like to make sure...

Hey guys... A while back I bought the reef solutions miracle mud sump for my 50. Im sure its doing a great job and all, but there was an added bonus. My CAULERPA is growing at an AMAZING rate inside it. Im talking wayyy faster than I have ever even heard of. THe pc is always on over the sump...

Ok... Im not sure when or where.. but a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I got the impression that sea urchins were bad for reef tanks. But I just saw a post in the archives about someone mentioning they had many different kinds. So I am wondering, did I just imagine this 'urchins =...

Had their tank recycle and crash? I am just curious.. I hear stories of foggy water, etc, but I am wondering if it has ever caused a re-cycle that killed any inhabitants?? I am getting a larger tank soon, and would rather just put LS down on the bottom and move them over after it has cycled if...

Ok.. I was trying to sound cool.. but I'm not the rock. lol Anyways, I finally got some time to work on the site with pics of the tank. Unfortunately it occurred to me afterwards that I never got some pics I really should have (IE: A pic of the entire tank in one shot) I will fix that shortly...

My tank didnt have too many hard corals but it has a few now, so I bought a test kit for calcium. From what I know about calcium, it isnt generated in your tank right? As in, if you havent added it, there shouldnt be a whole bunch in there correct? Well this test kit gave me a reading above 500...

I saw that everyone was recommending Nature's Ocean Live sand, yet everywhere I go all I can find is Nature's Ocean Live Aragonite Reef Sand. Is this the same thing? If not, can someone send me a link to where you can get the actual Sand? Also, if I have a 50 Gallon tank, any ideas how many...

Ok.. have a friend.. great friend.. been friends for a long time. Friend always goes with me to get fish stuff. Friend just won a $900,000.00 lawsuit. Friend went to fish store and bought a few things for me and brought them. Friend is great.. but the alian is confused. He actually did pretty...

Ok.. I had heard that Emeralds would do it. But I never heard of a sally lightfoot doing it.. I bought a very small frag. And the guy gave it to me for $5.00 and I dunno why but I never noticed til I got home(of course) that this thing had 4 very small bubble algae balls on it. So I put it in...

Question... I went to the pet store today and explained to the guy there that I had 2 50/50 PC bulbs and 2 Actinic PC bulbs that were totalling 255watts of light over a 50 Gallon tank. I then explained that I also had a NO 03 actinic bulb over it too (40 watts) The guy freaked out and said that...

Can a frogspawn be placed next to a torch coral?? Im pretty sure they can because they are same family, but wanna make sure before putting them by eachother.. alianated

I saw one of these in my pet store and thought it looked kinda neat-o. DO they have a purpose? Are they reef safe? (They just look like they might SHUT on a shrimp or something, hehehe) What do they do? Do you feed them or are they lighting reliant?? hehe Please share the love.... :P

Ok.. I have 255 watts of PC light hitting my tank. My tank is less than 2 feet tall so the lighting is at LEAST strong if not adequate. (I have a VHO fixture and plan to add a VHO bulb as well in the near future but have my 2nd thoughts for the same reason Im posting this) My water conditions...

You have Sun Corals and you say they are hardy and such on your tank. I was looking at them at my LFS and they told me that you have to feed them DIRECTLY 3 - 4 times a day by using a syringe and photoplankton. Is this your experience?? Thanks bud, alianated

Ok.. I have seen people ask about REEF SOLUTIONS and the last post I gave was raving about how everything was booming within 24 hours and how it made coraline algae growth seem to BOOST but that it also seemed to encourage hair algae growth. I cut down my lighting,stopped putting in the Reef...

Ok... When I got my bubble anemone.. I expected that at night his bubbles themselves would convert into a super long flowing tentacle array. It took about a week of adjustment, but eventually he was all poofed out during the day, and that night I was sure I would see this... instead what I saw...

Question... I have a 4 x 55watt pc set up. Two of my lights are actinics. At the pet store they have two actinic PC bulbs as well. But theirs are soooo dark. They are almost like a black light. It looks cool as all hell and the aneomones GLOW under them. The tank is practically dark with just...

Ok.. one more question.. But first.. thank you guys so much for all the useful information.. I KNOW that every time I look at my tank and see the greatness in it that it is VERY MUCH a direct result of your willingness to share your knowledge. My bubble took down a slice of a prawn today and is...

Ok... does anyone know where you can find a compatibility chart for corals?? I know that most speicies can be together, but I dont know the latin names (yet) well enough to actually identify what goes with what. Does anyone know if anyone has put a chart on the web anywhere that would show who...

I got a brain coral for my birthday. I believe it is an open brain. My question is this.. my bubble coral has a 'mouth' in which I see eat shrimp, etc if i give him some. My brain also appears to have this mouth. Only it isnt open (I have only had the guy 2 days.. that could be why) Any...
