Lost my 125 gallon tank to a recent power outage from ice storm. Going to move when house sells. Would like to save rock. 1. How can I dry out the rock in the winter without smell in house (house on market) 2. Will storage in basement or garage produce a smell or unsafe gasses. Once dry...I...

Our house is up for sale and we are thinking about building. Any suggestion for fish tank installs? I currently have a 125g beginning reef and an empty 55 I want to fill. I am open to all suggestions including changing tank sizes. Would love to see pictures or references to posts on this...

My clam looks like it has a seam in the middle that is coming unstitched making a hole. I am new to clams so I really don't know how to describe it. But when it is open under the MH lights and totally opened, I noticed a spot on the end that looks like a hole and edge of the hole has strings...

My tank looks awesome 99.9% of the time and now that we having a real estate showing on our house, I get diatoms/brown algae from upgrading my tank lights from florescent strip lights to Metal halides. I also lost an amenone at about the same time and couldn't find it so I am sure that just fed...

I bought a clam on sunday and re-homed my spiny black urchin an chocolate star fish to a 10 gallon tank until I was able to put them in my empty 55 gallon where their permament home would be. I used water from my 125g tank where the urchin and star fish lived for several years to put in the 10...

I am wanting to buy lights that will be able to support anything I put in my tank including claims. I don't have a clue on what to get. I am looking at two 36 inch sun pod lights 2- 150 watts Halide 18 lunar (the store doesn't carry the 72) or the Current USA Outer Orbit Fixture, 3x250W HQI...

My yellow tang died today. He seemed very healthy before we moved our 125g. We only moved it from one room to another but it took all day. During the move, my son said he fell on my spiney black urchin. Afterword, he had a black dot on the fin below the belly. He then started acting weird. It...

I have had my tang for about a year. Last night he was charging the side of the tank at his own reflection thinking it was another yellow tang. The light must have been hitting it just right causing a reflection. It was pretty funny because he would turn away and then look back and charge...

My tank has been up for almost a year. It will be a year in Nov. I want a manderin. I need to move my tank in the next month due to new carpet. I plan to use the same water. Is my tank ready for a manderin. I know they are hard to keep because you need a copod population. Will I lose them...

I need to move a 125g tank from the second floor to the first floor for carpet to be installed. If I fill big garbage cans with the tank water, will I be able to siphon back into the tank the water from the garbage cans if the garbage cans are lower than the tank. Or will I have to take bucket...

We need to remove our purple lobster. Any ideas on how to trap him? My son took water bottles with food and position them in the tank hidden in rock and sand. We never see him so we don't even know where his home is. I am not sure he can even fit in the water bottles. Any suggestions welcomed

If I want a seahorse only tank, what do you suggest? What is minimal tank size? What is a good source to learn about them? Do I need a sump filtering system? Skimmer? Can corals go in the same tank?

I never see my purple lobster. I know he is nocturnal. How can I see him? Maybe he is dead? Any suggestions?

Here is my stocking list for a 125g. I would like to go reef eventually...by the end of the summer. I would probably be ready to start adding corals by the end of summer. What should I add fish and invert-wise to round out the tank? What I mean is make it overall a really good tank with...

I have been looking at the threads of poster's tanks and I am seeing what appears to be growth of something on almost all of the tanks glass. It looks like something that would grow in a petry dish. Most tanks have it and no one is commenting on it...so I figure it must not be as bad as it...

Not sure what happened except this. I came home from a 6 day vacation to find my fish overfed by the house sitter and my protein skimmer siphoning water on the floor and leaking to the first floor. The two floors are soaked and I lost about 15 gallons of tank water. I am not sure if I will...

Okay, I know it is best to thaw frozen food in warm water and strain it. However, my question is why? I am going on vacation and will be having someone watching my tanks. I would hate for her to dump the tap water into my tank without thinking. My water is awful. I was just curious how bad...

I checked out a new place for local LR, corals, and supplies and learned about the Berlin system. This guy made sense but suggested to me to restart my whole system. I have a 125g that has been up and running since November. I am headed toward a reef aquarium but really only have 2 corals and...
