Hey everyone, Some I'm starting to get some algae outbreak. Very minor but some none the less. It's been a while since I've had an outbreak and I am trying to think of things I may have done differently. I've been keeping up with my water changes (about 10% every two weeks) and haven't been...

Hi all, So I just ordered 50#'s of live rock off of Salt Water Fish and should be getting it tomorrow. I've had salt water in the tank for about three weeks mixing (long than needed I know) and will turn the heater on tonight to warm the water up to a good temp. Tank is either a 55 or 65...

I just purchased the AI Vega & New Controller -- I love them (although the controller does tend to get on my nerves). With that being said, does anyone currently own the EXT Kit? I'm thinking about buying one. However, my tank sits 28" tall (Again this is the 60 gallon hex) and the rails...

Hey everyone, We have settled into our new home after a few short months. I've finally convinced the wife to allow me to create my very own in the wall fish tank display. The only area she has agreed to let me take this projects on is within the basement. At the moment this is an unfinished...

Hi, I wanted to find out if the SWF Store was planning on carring AI Vega's at any point? -Sparty

Hey everyone, So I'm working on getting all the items I need to fix up my tank and get it back to looking brand new. But then I started to think more about what will be inside of it... and now I need to put my ideas on paper (or the modern day paper). I've learned from my mistakes and my...

Hey all! Looks like I'm hopping on the DIY LED wagon. About three months prior to taking my tank down I upgraded to T5's from fluorescent bulbs. After three months and not seeing any of the shimmer effect that LED's provide I've decided LED will be the way to go. This just so happens to be...

Hey all, Silly question, but I'm almost about to start the building process of my new home (looking at lots as blueprints are finalized). Problem is, the lot we REALLY like, happens to have well/septic. Here comes the silly question... Does anyone here have a well and have a large tank? I have...

Hey all, Does anyone know how much a company would charge you to fix deep scratches in an acrylic tank? I have some notice scratches and some that you can even feel when brushing your hand along the surface. This is the ******** of the tank and it's been down for approx 10 months now I'm...

Hey all, I decided to pop in to pick everyone's brain. So, I decided to hold off on setting up a tank as I will more than likely moving back to the mitten in a year or so. So I plan on setting everything back up when we end up moving back. However, what does everyone think about the current...

So I'm settled into my new home. Thought I'd stop by and say Hi to everyone! :). I also wanted to note that although I've been away from the hobby for ONLY a month, it feels like it has been AGES! I'm tempted to purchase a small tank (20 gallon) to have some small fish in there and maybe some...

Hey everyone, so I will be becoming an official Californian in the next month leaving my life time state of MI . However, it's something I just have to get out of my system. Anyway, I'm in the middle of a debate. I know there are companies that maintain fish tanks and you can pay them to...

Hey everyone, so I'm now starting the process of taking down my 150 gallon tank. I wanted to know, when I set the tank back up, will I have to let it cycle again for 2 months? Or will I be able to place all my fish back in it immediately? I will be using new sand/new water and will probably...

Ok, so I'm going to be taking down my tank shortly. While I do this I'm going to be making a couple of fixes to my tank. The first and foremost will be removing all of the scratches on my acrylic. This is where I will need some help. I know there are tools out there to make this easy so I...

Flower, I wanted to show you how much your GSP has been thriving! Since I only have T5HO's the GSP hasn't been growing like CRAZY, but still growing none the less! I love it!

Hi, so I've had my Yellow Tang in my HT/QT for three weeks today. I've had two clowns in there for over 2 months now. I have a hang on back filter PVC pipe and whatever. I noticed today that my tang is moving around rather quickly bolting around the tank. I thought this is its typical...

Ok, I just turned on the lights in my tank to find that my cyano that I thought was under control has become a huge problem. So I have decided there's no better time than now to take my tank down and throw all rock and sand out. My only question was if there is anyway I can salvage all of my...

I think I might have the goofiest clowns. This was them sleeping last night in their preferred sleeping spot and position...

Also, is this even alive any longer, or probably dead? I'm referring to the thing right in the center of the picture. It looks like a paly as someone mentioned before or some type of mushroom. I'll get a picture from the top later tonight. But if you can identify based off of this let me know.

So, as I had mentioned in a previous post I'm going to be doing water changes much more frequently. However, I only have one pump for the pure and mixed salt water. But I do not have one for the sump tank to remove the old water. How have I been removing the water you may be asking? By...
