I would absolutely freak out. I lived in San Francisco for 14 years and never went through anything like this. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f83_1189627715

Every Sunday is my maintenance day. Even with a 47g my total time spent is about an hour to an hour and a half but my question is this. Every week I do a water change of 5g in my tank (roughly 10%). I've always read that you do a 5% change every week or a 10% change every two weeks. My...

Got my new RG's today (one big, one small). After acclimating them I released them into the tank and naturally they scurried behind my rock... that was 9 hours ago. I did read that they stay close to their covering so that they can dart back in case of emergency. However, the large one has...

(I posted this in the "Aquarium" section as well but hopefully the Mods won't move this one) ======================================= I didn't want to talk about this for fear of someone stealing the idea before I had a chance to get started. But I think feedback and building momentum is a good...

I didn't want to talk about this for fear of someone stealing the idea before I had a chance to get started. But I think feedback and building momentum is a good thing so here goes. So I've been thinking and researching. There is nothing out there for the saltwater fanatic that has an iPhone...

My tank is coming along and I'm finding myself sitting on my ottoman just staring at my tank... love being back in this hobby. Front shot: Right corner shot:

...and it was the best purchase I've made! I bought a Coralife Super Skimmer for 65g and in just the 6 hours that it's been running the difference is night and day. I know.. I know... it's still in the break in stage but even still, the clarity that I'm seeing already and the gunk collected is...

I'm noticing that I'm getting a little green on my rocks and I'm seeing a little bit more brown on my sand. I've looked over everything and tested my water and everything is fine. So the only deduction that I've come up with is to cut back my lights an hour a day. Right now my MH starts at 1...

Over the last couple of days my tank has been looking hazy. I can see minuscule bubbles throughout the tank but it's odd, it's hazy and I can't figure out why. Over the weekend I did change the carbon filter and added a phos and ceramic tubes for biological filtration. Now, I didn't wash the...

EVERYTHING I've read talks about how temperamental they are, how hard they are to keep, how they can nuke a tank if they die. I have two clowns (added yesterday) and I know they don't need an anemone but my question is... why would I take a chance on them if they're not that hardy?

Dang... everything was fine and he was so happy in the tank but last night at some point my flame hawk took his final leap into Berber and I found him this morning. In all of my research that I did there was never mention that they're active jumpers and/or have been known to leap out of tanks...

So I had a dentist appointment this morning (extract wisdom tooth and 2 cavities filled ) So I got home and thought... "My water should be perfect now." Sure enough, tested it and BAM! Everything right where it should be so I went shopping. Keep in mind, the focus of my tank is to be a reef...

My LFS just got in a great pair of clowns that have already paired and are now in QT for the next week. I have put them on hold and they'll be coming home sometime next week. However, I was doing some research on SWF's fish choices and cross referencing more information to find out the right...

I bought a beautiful finger leather that has been in my tank since Saturday. It was closed up for the first couple of days but today... WOW! He's showing his polyps and is starting to stand straight up and fan out. However, there is what looks like dead skin hanging off of it. My question... Is...

Holy cow... diatom EVERYWHERE!!! The bad thing is there are about a BILLION bubbles coming up everywhere. So here are my questions: - How long does it take to go away? - Is there something more than the clean up crew I can do to get rid of it? I bought a clean up crew last weekend and they're...

I bought a medium sized toadstool leather last night. Acclimated and then put him in my tank. His polyps were out last night but today not a one. I moved him a little higher in my tank thinking that he might just not like being so low. Is this normal for it to take awhile to really open up...

I have a Current USA lighting system for my 47g reef. The light came with a 150w HQI MH center light. Here is my question, can I upgrade that bulb to a 250w or is it rated for only 150w. I have a deep tank and I want to make sure that I'm getting the lighting to the bottom of the tank as well.

I've had my tank cycling for 3 weeks now and I'm going through my diatom outbreak. I was looking at my tank this morning and noticed a small hump in the sand on the left side of my tank. It's too perfect to have just happened so I'm wondering what it could be. I don't know if the pictures will...

Well in a sure sign that I'm going through a normal cycle I'm noticing small spots of brown cyano bacteria... when that subsides I've heard that I'll get to go through the red outbreak! Normally this would be frustrating but honestly I'm just excited that I'm heading down the normal path of...
