I told my boss I was so ill and had to leave work right in the mid of the day when I got a phone call that my shipment was in.....wow...I can pretty much do anything for this hobby, this is scary.. but seriously, ur livestock is fine in the box til you get home.

dang, that sucks..... I spent a great deal of time scraping off paint on the back of a 140g tank when I got it. It wasn't fun, telling you that. I used "lift off" paint remover. It's got very light odor, almost none cux it's got water base. But the prev. owner sprayed almost 5,6 coat on it. I...

Xenia doesn't like unstable condition. Xenia doesn't like too clean (no phosphate) tanks. Xenia love water flow and light. If your xenia is not looking too good after aweek, your tank might not be a good place for them, cuz if it's the right condition, xenias open up almost right a way once they...

this problem sounds very familiar to me even though I didn't kill an entire reef w fishes, but I could see everything suffered. I have 2-350 HOB Penguin filters and coraline 125 skimmer with 120lb lr in a 55g tank. I go in a take out the filter pads to rinse off the debris and oh boy, nothing is...

My yellow zoas spread big time on a giant lr, and I'd like to frag a pc for a friend. I went in with a zator knife to try to scrape out the pc, but they grow so tight on the rock that I pretty much kill the polyps instantly once the razzor hits the base of the polyps. If you know a good way to...

I didnt' know superglue can cure/dry/bond in wet condition... I have this fear of taking any corals out of water for more than 20sec. cuz I feel like they are going to die. how long can you keep coral out of water for glueing?

a friend of mine gave me the permission to take one of her red mushroom home. All her mushrooms attached real good on the rock. I used a wooden toothpick and tried to pry it off the rock. I ended up pocking the tearing the base of the shroom, and now it's dying in my tank. People said shrooms...

I'm not going to have any fishes in there. cuz I don't have a skimmer. And I learned from my 55g tank fish reef mix that hair algae grows so bad. I prolly will have a cleaner shrimp or 2 in there.

thanks, Terresa. I will reconsider having seahorses in my 30g reef cuz I have frogspawns in there. here is my tank. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/344451/check-out-my-30g-hex-turbo-nano#post_2887551

hi all. I am known to be the worst when comes picture taking routine. I don't like to use the camera. But I am kinda bored, so, here it is, my 30g jumbo nano. I've got quite a few types and colors of mushrooms, yellow polyps, Ricordea, tree corals, candy cane, zoas, wood xenia and pulsing...

I went to a hardware store, I checked out the 1/4 acrylic, yes, it's pretty weak. I never liked to drill glass. But I guess I have to give it a shot. thanks for your help.

hi, I have a 30g hex. tall tank that is running as reef tank only right now. I have all sorts of mushrooms and solfties and some stonies. I have 2-23w compact flo for the corals (works great) I have 1 mag 9 powerhead. There are some moderate flow areas, there are some really low flow area. I...

hi all, I can sense trouble heading toward me when I am thinking about building a big sump/refuge made of 1/4" flex glass. So, if you know the brand and type of glue and where I can find it that can hold the corners together, please shed me light on this. Also, do you think 1/4" flex glass...

go to a lfs and get a piece of biofilter pad and cut them out to fit the water falling slots and insert them in. I use the fine pore pads from fluval 404 or 405, the finer the pores, the better it is.

if you can get salt that turned stony to completely disolve, and measured at the right level of SG, then the mix is good, but most of the time, salt turned stony is very difficult to get them disolve unless you sit by the water jug and stir vigiously. If stony salt doesn't get to disolve...

hmmm....if you read about my drama over the stain on my 140g tank...it is not over yet. I will get a buffer and work on it And now, I am having another drama with the black paint on the back of the tank. I want to use the back tank as the front now cuz the front has quite a few scratches. I...

well....Veni... it sounded like I am going thru the experience you had with your 30g. I tried vinegar (the last few drops in that empty bottle), and it didn't change anything. I am very frustrated right now. I am going to go and get a bottle of pickling vinegar now, but I lost faith with this...

wow thats a lot of sand just a forewarn to you that after 2 years there will be a lot of green algae build up along and under the sand line you will need to put extra extra efforts to clean them out love the look of a brand new tank everytime
