Hey all, long time no talk, hope everyone is well. so the lighting on my 14 gallon biocube got roasted and I am upgrading to a 29 gallon HQI. my concern is I have an 8 year old clown-hosted elegance coral who is very happy in his algae-ridden, Dim-light home lol. my concern is that having...

Please help -   My 5 year old engineer goby is sort of floating. He is alive but he barely holding on. Last night I fed the tank and he would not come out to eat which is VERY strange. Today I found him vertical in the water with him head in the substrate and tail in the middle of the water...

I had 2 hydrometers - one was the "normal" plastic kind that you fill-up, and one was the thermometer type. My plastic one broke, and I have been using the thermometer one for the last 40 days or so. My coral was acting stressed, just like it does when I go on vacation and have excessive evap...

My 3 year old Boston Terrier just ate about a tablespoon of carbon pellets (no sponge or pouch, just the carbon). She is ok right? I mean, the properties of this stuff are comparable to charcoal, so there shouldn't be any side effects besides possible puking right? Thanks, Soprano the Boston...

I was quite surprised to stumble upon sand crabs in SWF's inventory! Here's the link: https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4 We find these little guys in the sand in New Jersey. During certain months, you can scoop these guys up and use them as striped bass bait! My question...

The fan on my Biocube 14 wont stop buzzing. I took the whole thing apart. When I push on the fan it stops. So I took soundproofing material and stacked it on top of the fan so when the cover goes back on, the pressure stops the buzz. But after 30 minutes or so, I guess the material...

Hey all - I just got my first yellow clown goby ever - he's less than 1/2 inch long and his name is Lemonhead!! A couple months ago I had Kenya & Xenia taking over my tank so I gave a local reefer some, and he returned the hookup today with the little clown goby that he bred. Ok, so I put...

Does anyone have a link to a review on this tank? It looks sick - Im thinking of buying one. Anyone?

Well, I started off reefing 2 years ago on this site, and so I figured I would post some updated pics since I haven't been here in quite some time. Before I post the pics though, I would like to say something about nano-pico tank-keeping: K.I.S.S.!!! Yes! The ultimate acronym!! Now, I know it...

So, I was at the LFS today and I noticed a coral I had seen 5x before and always assumed it was some kind of anemone. To my suprise, they told me it was an elegance! That made me realize that I have not seen a whole lot of elegances that look like mine. So Im posting pics of my tank that I...

I Looked Over Into My 5.5 Gallon Tank And I Have An Orange Trochus Snail Shooting Some Milky Crap Into My Crystal Clear Water!!! It's Clouding Everything And Making Me Really Mad!! I Have Quarantined Him. What Is He Doing???

Is it safe to frag a Sinularia inside the DT? I did this last night, and I dont see that anything was adversely affected, but there WAS a large cloud of "stuff," and I dont know if it is harmful/toxic. Anyone have experience with finger fragging?

My clown at home hosts an elegance coral in a 14 gal BioCube. I have a juvenile false perc in my 5.5 gal tank at work, and he is trying to host a hairy mushroom! Since the shroom is about the size of a quarter, and the clown the size of a dime, it is "kind of" working, but not really. Im...

I just tried to make something the other day. I went to a local office store, got the strongest 2 magnets I could find, then I superglued this latex material that had little scrubber-looking nipples on it. I wanted something tiny to get around the corners of my 3 gallon tank and clean the...

Im looking to go from a 14g BC to (I think) a 30g LOOONG. I want this to stay with 50/50 floros or T5s. Has anyone out there made an overflow themselves? I want to make one on a 30L. Basically, I want this to function like a BioCube, with the length of a conventional 30 gal glass tank. How...

Is this a hairy Shroom? Or something else?

I plan on snipping a small branch off of a leather I have had for 3 months. Also, do I want to do anything special after I frag it, such as increasing flow to the cut point? And after I mount the frag, should I add it right back to the DT, or do I want to isolate it? I have a tupperware...

I have a 3gal Deco, 7" tall. Tomorrow I will post some pics. I am adding my first pieces of coral tomorrow - some green/orange zoas and a small kenya tree that is growing in a snail shell. Plus. one quarter-sized shroom. In such a shallow tank with 6 watts per gallon (50/50), where should I...

I traded a portion of my zooanthid colony last week to a local guy. When I went to drop off the zoas (being the nice guy I am), I noticed he had a small "lump" of something on the edge of a piece of LR. When I inquired about it, he embarassingly replied, "It's a xenia. See the tiny little...

I have an emergency. Had the phyto bottle inverted, somehow 3-4tsp rushed out into my 14 gal Biocube. No R.O. on hand. What do I do?
