Hey guys I have a 55 softy reef tank with a pair of percs, a blue yellow-tailed damsel (not aggressive at all), and a yellow wrasse. I was just wondering what kind of fish I should add next. I was thinking like one "larger" show fish and maybe some sort of bottom dweller. I would also like...

I bought a yellow wrasse two days ago and he was reall happy, active, and healthy. I aclimated him for 30min and did a 20 min Metro+ dip just for precaution because I do not have the money for a Q tank. Anyway, everynight he goes under the sand and comes back out around 230 the next day. Today...

Hi again everyone! I was just wondering if anyone else has done this before. I know everyone is always concerned about their tanks getting enough gas exchange but also dont want to see any carpet surfers A lot of people have been using egg crate on top of their tanks but the spaces can still be...

Hey everyone, I am currently in the process of upgrading everything from my 38 fowlr to my new 55 reef. After this is complete I was planning on scrubbing out the 38 and trying something new and different! The original plan was to just experiment with some freshwater (never done it before) but...

Ok guys, I have had a 38 FOWLR tank for about 5 years now and I would love to transfer my fish into my newly started 55 reef. The only problems are... The 55 is newly restarted for the 2nd time I started it a few months ago with liverock, sump, and protien skimmer, etc and it seemed to be off...

Hey guys, I have a Coralife protien skimmer that seems to have stopped producing foam or any bubbles at all... I was setting up a 55 reef a while ago but due to money issues the project went under wraps and i shut down all of my equipment. Today I decided to give it a go again and i took apart...

Hey im just a little curious about 2 different eels. I read this article in a magazine about how nice and reef safe the white ribbon eel and pygmy moray are and was wondering if this was true.

Ok this is kind of a goofy question but, When you have corals (SPS and LPS), do you turn the lights completely off at night or do some form of aticnics need to stay on??? I probably sound really stupid, but just humor me. Thanks a bunch
