I lost an anenome a few weeks ago and I have decided that I will not try to keep them anymore. As I sat here thinking about it, I realized that I dont have anything in my tank that really requires MH lighting. I bought the MH lighting system because I wanted to keep anenome, but he's gone. I...

I was just reading another post about high phosphate readings and I am a big believer that many times over feeding is the source. How often do you feed your FISH in your reef?

I should probably know what this is. I have never seen it in my reef before today. I havent added anything to my tanki in 1 year or so. I assume that it isnt bad, since I havent had to many problems. I saw it out on the rocks about an hour ago. I thought at first it might be a baby sea cucumber...

I just received a Natureef Power Doser as a b-day gift from a friend. I admit, I was very suprised that this person thought enough about my reef to remember this..though he was around when I just put up a fresh gallon of kalk and swore that the valve was closed...yep, I dumped a gallon of kalk...

I purchased my ls about three years ago before I knew about swf.com. I thought it was live sand, but after reading so many post about ls and cc I am a bit confused. My "sand" had all kinds of cc in it and isnt at all the texture of sugar. I wanted to add more ls to switch to a dsb and get rid of...

First...I never know if these lighting questions should be in the equipment forum or not. second...I know there is not 1 answer to this question, but I would appreciate your opinions. I have the halide/actinic fixture pictured below. It has come time to replace the halides and the actinics. I...

Ok, Lets see if I can get any responses on this one. I will also maybe post this in the Reef Forum, but thought maybe someone may have a idea here also. I am wanting to start up another tank.

I was having problems with some of my test results. My PH was at 5.5 and I didnt know why. I was told by a good friend of mine that in order to raise the PH I should add regular distilled vinegar--about 1 cup per 10 gallons...so I did! Guess what? Dont EVER do that! Everything in my reef tank...

I have a cabbage leather that has twice now started to release a milky substance from all the very top edges. It looks like the very edges are "smoking". Once in the early morning and once in mid-afternoon. The leather is doing excellent! :) It has probably increased in size by 300-400% since...
