I purchased some used equipment and I have a plumbing question. Given the below images: The above images are my tank overflow and my sump. My question is, in this configuration, is there a chance the overflow would stop working (vacuum broken) and all the sump water would overflow my tank...

My biocube has 2 Sets of pc lights and 2 sets of 3 Led "accent" lights. How much led lighting would i need to replace the pc with equivalent or better lighting? Any recommendations?

I would like to suggest to my gf that she get me a nano tank for my office at work. Something really small like 12 gallon or so. What is a decent off the shelf option in this area?

I bought some simple yellow polyps today. I noticed two of the polyps had an ******** like dragon eyed zoas. All the others were simple yellow colors but these two had the standard yellow polyp tentacles yet had an orange center with a black middle of the center. Do corals like this, for the...

My anthellia is taking over the tank. I need to isolate it on one rock but first I need to get it off of the adjacent rocks before I move it. It doesn't pull off and scraping it leaves enough that it comes back. Is there anything I can do to spot kill it without endangering the rest of my...

My anemone split and I was wondering how long to let them recover before I attempt to move one out of the tank. Do I rub ice on the foot to get it to release from the rock? Here is a pid:

I noticed this growing behind my rocks but I've never had a flame scallop. This couldn't be anything else, could it? The picture isn't great from my phone but it sure looks like a flame scallop to me.

I have a duncan that keeps tipping over on the ledge he sits on. I'd like to glue the plug he is on to the ledge but I'd like to be able to pull him out periodically to frag a piece off of him. Is there any reef safe substance that will be tacky but never really dry? I guess the reef equivalent...

I moved a gregorian reasonably close to an LTA and the clown seems to dart out and bite it. Since I have not known clowns to pick on corals, is it doing it at the bidding of his host?

So I come home tonight and there is half my star fish clinging to the glass. It is below the powerhead. I assume he got sucked in and chewed up. Since it is still clinging to the glass, I assume it may still be alive. Is there any chance it'll survive or should I pull it out now to reduce the...

I am sitting here jamming the music pretty loud. Can this bother the fish?

I have a gold coral banded shrimp. I only see him once a week or so. Every time I see him I am surprised that he is still alive since he is so reclusive. I have only a 46 gal tank but I wanted to get a cleaner shrimp since they are more visible and social. I have heard not to mix CBS with other...

I have something growing on a live rock plug and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is. I cannot post a pic but it looks like a shiny, black bubble. It looks a bit like a black pearl and is about the size of a small pearl. It has come up in the last couple of weeks. Any ideas?

I posted this in the wrong forum so I will repost it here. Ok, so I got this new fish. A Black Cap Basslet. He is a beautiful color but I never get to see him. He is in the rock all day. He seems too scared to come out. He has been in the tank since Monday. I know they like hanging out in the...

Ok, so I got this new fish. A Black Cap Basslet. He is a beautiful color but I never get to see him. He is in the rock all day. He seems too scared to come out. He has been in the tank since Monday. I know they like hanging out in the rocks but I assumed he would come out and swim sometimes. Am...

I bought a new leather and I know they take awhile to acclimate but this one has basically drooped to the ground. The stalk also looks a little thinner at the top than the rest of it is. The green polyps haven't come out yet but since I bought it last night I'm not worried about that yet. Should...

Lately I have these little pinhead spots showing up on my LR that are bright orange. Is this a bad thing?

So, I've had my tank since December and most things are doing well but I'm on my second iteration of Green Star Polyps. Now I know these are supposed to be easy but both times that I have gotten them they look great at the store but at home they come out very hesitantly and never fully and the...

Every time I try I cause a sandstorm. How can I add sand slowly without causing too much commotion?

I've had my tank since December. It has a fairly large load in it. It's a 46 gallon hex tank with 5 fish, a fairly large LTA, a few crabs, a fire shrimp, and numerous corals. I used to have to scrape the sides almost every day but lately I haven't had to do this but once a week at most. I have a...
