Does anyone have any experience with these? I know it would not be difficult to set up a traditional brine shrimp hatchery but we already have too many tanks and fish stuff all over the house. I would like to minimize that a bit. I am wondering how well they work? The salinity in my tank is...

I have two tangs I placed in QT. Neither tang had any evidence of ick but I decided to hypo anyway to be on the safe side. I took one week to lower the salinity. The tank is bare bottom with one piece of base rock that was dried out when I put it in the tank. Second week into the hypo the...

My hubbie presented me with an early Mothers Day gift (we both work on mothers day--uugghh). I have some suncorals for over a year now that I really like and having been looking to add some different varieties. He found this beautiful bouquet of suncorals. It is difficult to see from the...

The goal is to reduce nitrates. I have a birthday coming up and can only get ONE---would you recommend a good skimmer or a refugium? I have a high bioload and feed heavily. I set up a algae turf scrubber about 4 months ago, the nitrates have dropped a small amount, but nothing significant...

Does anyone have any ideas how to QT a tube anemone? I am wondering if it would attach to a small piece of flat rock that I could then later add to the DT. Pretty sure with my luck it would move and attach to something I don't want it to and then I will never get it out of QT. Any thought?

Just sharing a picture of my new baby powder blue tang. Not exactly sure why but for some reason I'm more excited about this fish than normal. I love all tangs, this is the first powder blue I've had. She is getting along very well with the sailfin also. 2nd picture is of my flame angel...

A little back ground information first. I have a 120gal, with mostly fish and a few inverts and low light corals. The tank has been set up approximately 10 months. I used dry agronite, base rock, and about 40ish pounds of live rock. When I added a coral beauty a few months ago it had ick...

When we got home from vacation last week we noticed our Yellow Tang had a small red line down the base of his tail. It spread to part of the edges of his top and bottom fin. Sometimes it fades so it almost isn't noticable. Today the back 1/4 of his body is bright red. Looks like he has a bad...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? We got him about a week ago, so far so good. I normally don't impulse buy but couldn't resist. There were only 2 and I have never seen them in our area before. The LFS we got him from usually gives good advise or I would have left it...

We are new to corals so please bear with me. We got an open brain coral last Fri. and it hasn't opened its tenacles at all. It kinda puffs up during the day but no tenacles out. We've tried to feed it a couple of times and now after watching a video on you tube I realize that we should be...

Has anyone ever used a heater made by JEBO? Just wondering if there have been any problems with them. Thanks in advance.

The heater I am currently using came used with my aquarium. I have no idea how old it is and it is making me nervous. I have decided to use this heater for my water changes and get a couple of new ones for the tank. I would like to have 2 smaller heaters in my tank, rather than a single...

This is probably a silly question but I have never had mushrooms before. The foot of one of my mushrooms has a section that is really stretched and looks like it about to break off. There is also a couple of small bumps in the middle of that piece. I know you can cut mushrooms up and they...

Hopefully I can figure out how to download some pictures! I had saltwater aquariums for many years and got out of it when I moved my small aquarium to get new carpet. The plan was to upgrade to a larger aquarium. Well, many years later.....finally the 120. It was purchased rather on impulse...

I'm sure this will sound like a silly question but this is the first new tank I have started. Previously I had bought established SW tanks and just moved them. We are about a week into our cycle. I have a fair amount of base rock and a few pounds of live rock. The live rock is covered with...

Didn't get a response in the New Hobbist section, hoping someone here will know. I would like to attempt to make my own wet/dry filter for a 120 gallon tank. Does anyone have any recommendation what size dual overflow box and return pump I should purchase? I found a dual overflow rated at...

I've been out of the hobby for several years and have recently purchased a 120 gallon tank. Previously I had always used canister filters but have decided to attempt to build my own wet/dry filter for this tank. I'm wondering if a dual over flow box rated at 1200gph and a return pump ca3000...

Hi all. I'm so excited, my hunny is getting me a 70 gallon aquarium for Christmas. I have been out of the hobby for several years so I am a bit rusty. This will be my first salt water aquarium that I am setting up from scratch by myself. Things have changed alot in the past few years I have...
