I am selling my 50g tank and all of its contents and equipment for a very special reason. While it is hard for me to move away from the hobby I have decided that for several reasons it is time for me to do so. I am saving money to buy an engagement ring for my current girlfriend of 4.5 years. We...

AAAAHHHHH I'm addicted to this damn hobby. I can't stop, I'm on these forums every second I get! I stalk fish stores at least 4 days a week. I read web pages, books, anything I can get my eyes on! I wish I had 10 tanks and more corals and fish then I can handle :-) Is it always like this :-)

So I'm a yellow tang... before that I was ermm... I don't remember. But I do have a question, does anyone know how the tags work w/your post total. What I mean is, when do the tags change naturally? 0-50, 51-500, 501-2500? What is the order and the names associated w/them? Yes I know you can put...

I am getting sick of purchasing RO water for wally world. Its not that its expensive but we loose enough water over a weeks time for it to add up. So my question is, what are a few good units to look at. I really dont care about gallons per day, I just need enough to keep that top off going and...

Ok well after I decided to get a SW tank (50g, 36x19x19) (and did a ton of research) I quickly decided to get a few corals. That begins my problem, at first I had a Nova Extreme 78w 2 bulb (1x39W T5HO actinic & 1x39W T5HO 10k). That worked/works fine for a FOWLR but as you all know this is an...

So I am in the process of upgrading my lighting because i have decided to house some medium and low light corals. I understand all the levels that I should test except I have a few questions concerning dKH. Do you have to buffer it to keep it high enough for corals? My kit measures Alk and I...

I've posted one before and some people asked for a closer pic of one of these so I included that. The other stuff I don't know what it is so your input is highly valuable. That patch of red that I saw... starting to look like something I read about that stings..... Whats the name again? I hope...

I figured I would start a diary because they have always been very helpful and interesting to me. I will post a few pics every time I make a change/addition in the tank and we'll take it from there. Any comments, suggestions, and questions are more then welcome/appreciated. Equipment 50g tank...

I am currently looking to add another lighting fixture to my 50g tank. I have a Nova Extreme w/2 bulbs. 1 39w 10k T5HO and 1 39w actinic T5HO. I have an offer from someone for a Coralife Aqualight 36" - 2 x 96 Watt Power Compact. It has 1 10k bulb and 1 actinic. The question is how much of an...

I guess this is actually a few questions but the heart of the concern is what I should do to upgrade my lighting. I have a few options (at least I think I do). I have a 50g tank (36x19x19) I want to have a BTA and probably some medium light corals down the road. Mostly hardy species that aren't...

My tank has finished its cycle and now that I have my lights on I've noticed a few things and am not entirely sure what they are. On a side note, I didn't take a picture of this but I think its a baad anemone that I hear so much about. Its a white/clear color and doesn't seem to like light (when...

I will start a diary eventually but I also wanted to post a few pics to see what people think. Please share your opinions, questions, concerns, or whatever good or bad. The tank is a 50g, FOWLR... though I will probably get some corals way down the road. Inside you will see 50lbs of base rock...

So my tank finished cycling and I got the bright idea to try to place a piece of base rock in there (it has the best hole in it ever) and while doing that I kicked around some sand. Now that I'm looking at my glass I see these tiny white things about the size of a grain of sand. They are white...

I am going to buy two peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp for my 50g soon. How do you go about feeding them? I've read a few sites that tell me what to feed them, but how do I get it from me to them?

I want to get a Percula Clown and was wondering if my current lights would be able to sustain a hosting anemone. Through my research I have found that Ritteri (maroon), Saddle, Bubble, and Carpet Anemones tend to host this particular clown. Buuutttt.... Can my lights handle any of those? I have...

I have a Nova Extreme 36" 78Watt lighting fixture on my 50g tank (36x19x19) It has a 39 Watt 460nm Actinic T5HO lamp and a 39 Watt 10k T5HO lamp. What type of corals can I put in there when the time comes? I don't want a reef tank, maybe just a few corals to accent the tank nicely.

I recently set up my tank and have added approx 45 lbs of LR. There is also 60 lbs of LS in there and 50lbs of base rock. The equipment has been running for a few days now (the skimmer is just hitting its stride). What do you think of the LR? Most of it is from my LFS's display tanks and as such...
