Well, I'm finally asking for help because I don't know exactly what's wrong and would like some advice on what to do next. My 65g reef tank is almost a year old and I'm having problems with my corals. Here's what's happened recently. I went out of town for 2 1/2 weeks and had to have a friend...

Just wondering... SWF doesn't seem to sell salts, and I've been using Instant Ocean regular salt. I know they have something called reef crystals and was just wondering what people thought. I have several coral frags in my tank and I'm having to dose a lot of KH & Calcium. I figured it might...

Why is my yellow tang such a goober... I was cleaning the glass with one of those magnetic scrubber things and for some reason this time she kept comming up to "investigate". I must have bumped her 5 or 6 times with it and each time she swam off like there was a shark in the area, but within...

Was wondeing if somoene could better explain this to me.... I've got my first reef tank running at about 12 weeks now, have a couple of zoa frags, a frogspawn frag and a green birds nest frag in the tank. Everything seems to be going well, except my dKH value keeps dropping, I had it at about 9...

I have a couple of small zoo frags (4-6 poly's each) and my hermit crabs have been just moving them about in my tank. I have read here that you can secure them with super glue gel. I bought super glue brand gel but after reading the package it says not recomended for immersion in water. I...

So I went into the LFS today to look at getting another frag of zoo's for my 8 week old tank. I saw this green birds nest coral frag on an ORA plug that I dedided on instead. I have done some minor research on the birds nest coral and know they need strong lighting (I have two 150W MH on my...

Was wondering if anyone could give me some input on this... Basically my sump has a fliter floss "sock" to catch particles when they drain from the tank. This sock over the peroid of 2-3 weeks tends to clog from general debris and the water starts to overflow and bypass it in the sump... for...

I noticed this guy when the "dusk" lights came on (LED's). They come on for about an hour after the main lights go out. I've seen a couple peanut worms in the area where he was too. Any ideas? I think it might be a bristle worm but I thought they were bigger. He's dead center of the pic, a...

Well my tank hit 6 weeks old. The ammonia / nitrate spike was very small (I used live sand and live rock from my upgraded tank), so I added a yellow tang and zoo colony (which looks like its already starting to grow 2 new ones). Last week I added a frogspawn coral. Today I got two small...

Well maybe someone here can help put my mind at ease. I just upgraded my tank from a 29g to a 58g about 5 weeks ago, I transfered about 20lb of well established live rock (4 years old), as well as about 20g of the water. In the new tank I added a new substrate, 60lb of live argonite sand as...

Well after spending an all expenses paid trip to Afghanistan for the last year I finally was able to upgrade my fish only / live rock tank to what I've always wanted, a reef setup. I basically upgraded my 29g live rock tank to a 58g reef. Here's what I got: 58g Oceanic Reef Tank 20g Sump...
