Currently I've got a wet/dry setup on my 55 gallon tank. With the return pump (Magdrive 9.5) and skimmer in the sump area it's really cramped. So, I'm thinking about turning an old 10 gallon tank into a refugium and adding it to the system. My question is, can I drill the side of the acrylic...

I recently bought a juvenille Atlantic tang, and it developed ick within a few days. I know I can quarrantine and treat it with hypo or medication, but for reasons I don't want to get into, I can't set up another tank. So, I decided I'd try the "keep them well-fed and see if they pull through"...

I started my mixed reef tank in February of 2008. Its come a long way since then, and I thought I'd share some pictures. February 2008 June 2008 September 2008 February 2009 I don't have a very good camera, or that many pictures. I've had some successes and some failures. I've learned a...

My superglue has been giving me fits lately, so I think its time to try something different. Does anyone know of a brand name that's safe and readily available at Home Depot or Lowes?

Quick question- Somehow I managed to get a spot of hair algae growing on a monti cap. I know I need to figure out why I've got it growing in the first place, but what's the best way to get it off the coral? Thanks.

I found a site that sells blue and neon blue zoanthids. I haven't seen many other places sell these colors. Has anyone seen or kept these anywhere?

There is a banner on the site that advertises $14.99 shipping for FL residents, but when I put a bunch of items in my cart the system wants to charge me $34.99. I'm a returning customer and my Florida address is already populated. Anyone know what's up with this?

I was out fishing on Saturday when somone reeled up a sponge. This little guy rode it up until he flopped out on the deck. I scooped him up and put it in a bucket. We we in about 80' of water off Apalachicola, FL. He came up so fast that his swim bladder was all out of whack, so I had to...

Anyone know what the one on the left is? Is this a Kenya tree? Thanks!

Any idea why this is turning white? Any help is appreciated.

I did a routine water change about a week ago, and it closed up. It hasn't reopened since, and is starting to slump over. I tested my water last night, and everything checked out fine: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 ph 8.0 Temp 81 Salinity 1.021 I know the temp is a little high, but its always...

I've had the tank up and running since February. It is my first attempt at an actual reef tank. Most of the corals weren't added until May. Let me know what y'all think.

I have a standard fluorescent light on my 55 gallon tank that I planned on upgrading to a T5. It was a 2x 30W (one actinic, one 10,000K) fixture that never really cut it, but I wound up with it because of some fiscal limits. On Sunday my 10,000K bulb died, so I'm down to only 30W of actinic...

Last night I discovered my royal gramma has ich. There also may be a few spots on my sixline. The clownfish and two green chromis I have in the tank haven't shown any signs yet. I've got a 10-gallon QT that I'm going to put the fish in. It has only been set up for a month or so, and is...

First let me give y'all the background on my tank. It’s a non-drilled 55 with a wet-dry and protein skimmer that has been set up since about mid January. I've got about 30lbs aragonite sand and 10lbs live sand. I had about 30-35lbs base rock and roughly 15lbs live rock. Lights are on the...

I started cycling my 55 gallon about ten days ago with a raw shrimp and 20 lbs of live sand. I have about 40 lbs of base rock in the tank, but no live rock yet. Last night when I came home from work the tank was looking cloudy. I immediately tested the water and found that my ammoinia had...

I'm sure alot of you can't stand the thought of fake coral, but I was just wondering if anyone has seen or used the coral from this company. How realistic-looking are they? They appear to be much better than the ones you can find at your local giant pet stores. I'm interested in getting a...

I'm redoing my 55 gallon tank. I built a 1" pvc overflow that goes into a 10-gallon sump. I ordered the return pump today, and think I may have screwed up. I bought a Mag Drive 9.5, when I think I probably should have bought a 7. The 9.5 is rated at 700GPH at 6ft head, but I think my...

Hi eveybody, I'm new to the forums, and wanted to say hello. I've got a 55-gallon tank that hasn't been set up for two years. I'm going to be reviving it in the next couple months, and hope that with some help from ya'll, I can do it right. When it was last running I was using two Emperor...
