Well, my mystery wrasse has a new infatuation with my overflow (standard built in overflow top to bottom). He has jumped in there twice now and really seems to like it for some reason. I have now put egg crate all around that area to detour him but he has definetely tried to jump back in there...

Well, it has been a while since I splurged on my tank so I decided to go big and get a bunch of stuff this time. I have only ever had PC's for my tank so the first thing I got was 3 LED PAR38 lamps so now I have a few SPS corals that seem to be doing really well so far. I also got a clam. He...

So I decided to try something new from the Reef Crystals I have been using for about 2 years now. I am trying the Kent Marine salt. I feel like with the Reef Crystals my dKH is always hovering around 6-7 and my calcium comes out to about 360 and am trying to find a salt where I do not have to...

Well, I cannot find my Diamond Goby anywhere. I have a canopy on the tank so there is no way he could have jumped out. I don't see him in the overflow. This sucks. I have had him now for about 8 months and I have not seen him for 2 days. He has been digging a lot lately. Think he could...

So I finally have my tank exactly how I want it and things are going pretty well except I cannot seem to get rid of little patches of green hair algae. I have a phos reactor, use RO/DI since I started 5 years ago, have a refugium so I do not understand where it is coming from. I only have 2...

Let me start out by saying that my Emerald Crab is pretty big and gangster. His claws are about an inch long now. So I was messing around with my sump last night changing around some things and I my Emerald Crab was right up front so I started looking at him up close. He had Copepods...

My wife broke our previous camera which was a POS anyway so we got a new one. Snapped some shots last night of the tank, but still trying to figure out the best settings. I know the tang police are going to be all over me, but I did rescue a yellow tang from the fish store. He was really...

So I have been researching this fish now for about 6 months and wanted it to be the last fish to add to my tank. Found one finally and added it about 2 weeks ago to the display. I see it swimming around and hunting all the time for worms and such, but he never eats when I feed the tank. I do...

Finally was able to get some pics of my tank. I moved everything from a 46 gallon a while back and recently bought some base rock that you can see on the top there. Looks a little funny with two white rocks on the top, but they will be purple soon enough. Camera is not the greatest so sorry...

So I picked up one of these guys on Saturday, aclimated, and got it in my tank the same day. I have been having a problem with cyno on my sand a little bit in the display and have had some red slime issues in the refugium. I have just been doing normal water changes and just figuring...

So just got back from my honeymoon yesterday and all fish were accounted for and everything is good except I couldnt find my Flame Wrasse. This morning I grabbed a mirror and can see him swimming around in my built in overflow. The overflow is pretty lit up because the light shines through...

Quick question for everybody. Just out of curiousity. My buddies always ask me why I love fish so much and I always tell them that I don't love the fish, I just like having the tank with all the equipment to tinker with all the time. Sure the fish are a bonus because I do like them and want...

So my BTA that I have had for about a year now decided to split into two BTA's. Didnt want to really feed another thing in the tank, but whatever. Anyway, now that it has split the two pieces are always shriveled up and will not accept food. Normally, I wouldnt worry but it has been about 2...

Guy at the LFS told me that I should be changing out my sand bed every couple years. Does anyone have any feedback on this? Do I need to sift out all my sand and replace if I have had my reef tank set up for a little over 3 years? Also, what is the best sand to use? I know I got mine from a...
