I haven't really ever shared pictures of my tank, but I'm finally feeling confident enough to share my little guy. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

My feet are getting less happy! I can't seem to keep coral, of any kind. Everything I've read says that I should be able to keep them. Tank is 75 Gal + 20Gal sump+ refugium Params, Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 0 Ph, 8.1-8.2 Nitrate 15-10(I think this may be the problem and I'm currently working to lower...

I haven't posted here in a while, figured I'd give everyone an update how everything is going. Last I posted I had a 55gal tank I had just set up and finished cycling. I had a bet with a friend to get a complete tank set up and running for under $400 dollars. I won my bet and everythnig was...

Hi guys, I have a problem with my tank running too hot during the day. The heating unit on the apartment never kicks on during the day, but my apartment is always a steady 78 during the day thanks to living next to a woman who must keep her apartment at 100 and the Laundry room being right next...

Will a pair of Picasso clowns host an Anem? Heard some clowns will and others won't.

My Giant Feather Duster has been making a lot of mucus the past day and today. It's like a webbing that's now all over the tank. It's still alive, because I've seen it come out of its tube and its making more mucus. Any ideas? Can't seem to find any information on this.

I just watched one of my Emerald Crabs go from crawling around on a rock to curling up and dying. My Giant Feather Duster has retracted into his tube One of my Blue Green Chromis is MIA, didn't come out during feeding. and I fear my other Emerald Crab has met that fate too. My Params are...

Hey guys, I have a CPR overflow box and I built a stockman stand pipe to quit the crashing sound of water flooding into the empty overflow box. Since installation I've tried a couple variations all with the same results. (You will have to excuse how ugly the stockman standpipe is, Home Depot...

Hey, guys I've been looking at pumps for my sump. It needs to rise 4 and a half feet with three 90 degree elbows. From what I've read that comes to be about a total of 7' rise, correct? I have a CPR overflow box rated at 600GPH So I'm trying to decide what pump to get and I had been looking at...

Hi guys, I'm setting up a reef tank and I'm buying a 55g tank and a stand. I attached a picture of the stand, because to me it doesn't seem like its strong enough to hold up a fish tank for any extended amount of time. I'd like your opinions on whether it will work or not. It's big so you can see.

Hi guys, I decided to make a reef tank. Normally I wouldn't post a diary, but this one is going to be a little "special". I was talking with some friends about my plans and all anyone said was "That hobby is too expensive!", "Kiss your wallet good bye", well you get the point. I'm sure you have...

Hi guys! I've been doing Fresh Water tanks for about 15 years now and I'm ready for a change. I drained my last freshwater tank and as I started planning a new one I thought to myself, I've always wanted to do salt water. So I'm giving it a shot! I just had a couple of questions. I’ve been...
