    NEED HELP!

    I was looking in my tank today and saw these worm looking creatures in my sand and live rock. They are small and always look like the leg of a brittle starfish. I also have these white string looking things coming out of the sand. They just wave back and forth with the current of the water...

    Need some help

    It is 48x18x24. It is a typical 90 gallon tank. The T8 I was looking at on Home Depot's website was 48 inches long and had a place for 2 bulbs. Any thoughts on how much the bulbs run?

    I have been hearing that a sump is the way to go, but I am not that bright on that topic. What all would I need to buy?

    Skimmer/Filter Questions

    Hello, I have a 90 gallon tank and am wondering what ya'll suggest for a protein skimmer and a canister filter. What are the best for the money spent? I don't have a ton of money, but I'm not broke either, obviously since I have saltwater fish. Any suggestions would be great.

    Live Rock from Hawaii

    Well it wasn't actually living stuff on the rock, but I went through the FDA inspection and they didn't say anything about it. I am just wondering if I can put it in my tank.

    Live Rock from Hawaii

    If you had to choose....

    Would you go with a Marineland 350 Deluxe canister filter, or a Fluval 405? There is a big difference in price (around $60 more for fluval). Anyone who has had experience with either one, feel free to leave input.

    I need sump ideas

    My 90 gallon is not drilled. I would have to syphon a pipe back over. My question is, would it be cheaper to buy a sump or make one. And if I was going to make one, would do you just doing?

    Explain where your user name originated

    My very first expensive fish was a Purple Tang, which I still have now. So I figured my first high priced fish/my favorite fish would be my name. :)

    Purple Lobster

    I went to the LFS the other day looking for something to put with my dogface puffer. I saw that they had a nice sized purple lobster and thought maybe I could but it in there. The guy working there said he had been in the reef tank and had eaten a purple tang and a yellow tang. You think there...
