I found this anemone on one of the rocks, Can anyone help identify it? I can also post in the Identify forums if need be. Doesnt look like aptsasia does it?

Well im gonna try and get some pictures on here for ya. All the rock on the left side of the tank is what I got today for free! Not to bad eeh? IT doesnt like much the way ive got it stacked but here is a side pic.

Maybe it was only a refractometer? I honestly cant remember. But he dipped it and you looked in it through the top. I do remember that salinity was like 1.060 or something ridiculous.

Well ive got the Live rock and im back home. Lots of good coraline growth, I got lots of hitch hikers as well. Seems to be close to 60lbs of rock more so than 40. So far Ive got 1 snail, 1 red hermit crab, 2 more blue legged hermit crabs, 2 green emerald crabs and hundreds of little starfish...

Well After a long day of job searching, I decided to work on the tank. I ended up at ***** (My local ***** actually does a good job with their fish and does not overcrowd etc). Today I got a Tiger Pistol Shrimp and an Orange Spotted Goby. I think its so cool that they have this symbiotic...

Alright I will focus my research on T5s. Any good ways or DIY ways to not break the bank? Im In between jobs but looking to keep the project going. Slow n steady. My LFS has the End caps for T5 Lights where I can build them into the hood. Any good?

Ive got a 90 gallon tank Ive just got up and running. I think I want to try a reef tank for the first time but im just about clueless on what lights to get. I see the cheapies at the LFS and the T5s and halides, Its hard for me to decide. Im not sure exactly what corals I would want but Im...

Also Other notes: I need to add Lights Id Like to add a refugium After looking at another thread. I think I will go with the "Island style live rock" Those tanks really looked good. And lastly I am sure that I will change my mind many times. I openly accept any advice or ideas and hope to hear...
