What is this? (see picture below) It's as white as the picture shows and it's actually very easy to rub off. It started off as just a tiny bit and now it's starting to spread like wild fire. My Mag is pretty high, around 1900. All other parameters are in check but some of my corals are not...

Does anyone have the Pacific Coast Calcium Reactor CR-100 Dual Chamber? If so, what are you thoughts on this reactor and was it worth the money? With the additons of the Milwaukee SMS122 (monitor) and Milwaukee Regulator/solenoid (CO2). Any thoughts?

I woke up this morning to hear a buzzing sound coming from my tank. I thought it was just one of my powerheads as they do that sometimes (I usually just unplug them, plug it back in and then usually have to give it a jump start by pushing the impellar). But this time I realized the sound was...

Has anyone else had problems with their Koralia powerheads? I LOVE the flow of these powerheads and just about everything about them, BUT I have had 2 in the past year that have just stopped working and today it happened again to a #4 powerhead. I have sent one back for a new replacement, and...

OK, I've been having issues with my calcium and alk, so I ordered a Mag test kit knowing it's probably my Mag that is causing the real issue. I just received my Mag test kit and my mag is definately low, at 1000. And this is after I've been adding 30ml of Salifert Liquid Mag every day for the...

What a difference a year makes!!! (Luckily I was able to take these pictures before one of my ballasts went bad.) I sure learned more than I ever imagined when I first started up this tank. It's been hard work, trial and error, but it's been well worth it. Here are some pics to show the...

Murphy's Law.....I have spent the past week cleaning my tank really good and making it look fantastic. Today was my daughter's birthday party and several people from out of town were coming over, so I was excited about showing off my tank. To my horror, when the lights were supposed to come on...

OK, I went a little crazy with my new camera (Nikon D40x). I still don't have the really "nice" shots that some of you have, but I'm learning. "We Three Tangs!" I think this is a first in getting all three Tangs together (with them being in focus) Still more to come.......

One of my bubble tip anemones some how got into my refuge. I was actually ok with that because he was now on a small piece of rubble and I was going to sell him. (My BTA split a few months ago.) I was fine earlier today and I was sitting here working on my computer, when I looked up and my...

We just bought a new Nikon D40x. I have a lot to learn but here are my first attempts. I'll try it with a tri-pod next time.

OK, so 9 hours later and a bump on the head (hit the canopy door, OUCH!). My husband and I finally got my tank the way I want......for now. I don't have anymore sand surface like I was wanting. I decided not to disturb the base rock that is barried in my tank. I'll save the "more sand...

There is a mystery critter in my tank and the only evidence I have is this pile of sand. I have another one on the other side of my tank. Something is burrowing because every now and then I'll see sand being pushed up, the way ants do when building a new home. Any idea? Should I be worried?

I posted two of these pics by themselves earlier, but this was my Christmas present from my best friend. She matted it in white with a black frame and it's now next to my fish tank. She took pictures while I was on vacation and she got every fish (minus my other Clown and Bangaii). What a...

I'm looking into redoing my aquascape to make it look more natural and more open. I want to get away from the "wall" look and have more sand surface area. Attached is one example that I think is VERY cool. It was posted on -- and he actually lives in the same area as me, so I just might go...

OK, I've had these Zoos almost from the start of my tank and I started off with like 5 polyps so I'm excited how much they gave grown. However a few days ago I noticed some polyps closed up. I didn't really think much of it at first because I know they do that when eating or if something hit...

I was passing my tank for one last look before my lights went off and noticed my snails were attacking my feather duster. At first I took my feeder stick and pushed them all away but noticed my feather duster was not going back into his tube. He was still alive but not acting normal. As a...

It's not perfect, but this is the best full tank shot that I've taken so far. My lights are two 250W MH 14K with Mini-Luminarc Reflectors. What a difference 9 months makes. This was taken March 20th, sooner after we set it up.

Was playing with my camera this evening and these are the good ones. More pics coming.....

My friend is a photographer, and I told her that when I got my tank completely done I would like for her to come over and take some shots of my tank. Well.....her daughter was watching my tank for me while I was away for Thankgiving and my friend went over with her and took some shots of my...

For about 20 minutes my husband and I were doing our best to catch our male Bangaii who had babies in his mouth. We had taken out lots of live rock and were doing our best to get him to swim around to me so I could scoop him up. Well, to my horror when he got to the corner of the tank he spit...
