Hello all!! Just bought this piece of coral for $10. The guy at the store didnt know what it was but I couldn't pass up the deal. It's about 1-1/4" in diameter. Can anyone tell me what they think it is? I just got into coral keeping. Still learning. I would very much appreciate anybodys...

No confusion loud n clear! Haha thanks As my luck would have it, the new solar max fixture just quit working. Fortunately, I can return it. Now, I'm looking for a new fixture. I have my eye on a 30" Coralife Aqualight HO T5 dual fixture for around the same price.. About $130. Any opinions...

HI ALL!! I am in need some some lighting advice. I have a 30g saltwater aquarium with about 6 or so fish, some shrimp, a couple anenomes, some snails, kenya trees and some mushrooms.. I just recently bought a Solormaxx HO 30" (2 x 24w) fixture to add to our existing 30" Coralife NO T5 (18w)...

We've had the small purple mushroom for 6 months and we switched tanks about 3 months ago. he did get knocked off a rock a couple times by a snail and I have tried moving him a couple times to more/less light to see if that helped. He always opened right back up within hours after moving. We...

I just purchased these mushrooms at my LFS that were labeled only "Rock Mushrooms". Can anyone identify the exact species name of these mushrooms and the copper colored things in between? I am fairly new to corals and would like some insight as to what I have and if there is anything special...

What corals would you recommend? And, as far as water chemistry goes what should I be most aware of?

I have had a marineland "reef capable" led lighting system on a 35g hex FOWLR for about 2 months now. Its the 18" - 24" version and seems to be bright enough for what I need. My Question is do you think it would be enough for an anemone? I've heard they will support Soft Corals and other...

Lighting cycle was on about 10 hrs a day but now I only turn it on for only about 3 or 4hrs a day sometimes less. I get my water from a lfs who claims its RO/DI but how do I test for TDS? is there a test kit? if there is TDS in the water how can I filter it out because thats the only place...

Slice- the substrate is very coarse and was recommended to keep ph stable. i thought about adding sand over the crushed coral or even replacing all of it with sand but that would mean totally dismantling the whole tank and killing most of the amphipods living in the substrate which there is...

Here are some close ups. I thought it was Hair algae at first, then after more research I found it could be cyano. I'm still not sure. The one pic has hairlike stuff growing.. haha I have no idea.

I had 3 turbo snails but they died one right after another when the outbreak got bad... Coincidence??? I havent put anymore in since. Oh! I forgot I have a one blue hermit crab left out of two. I found the one out of his shell. I think the smaller one attcked him becuase he took his shell...

Hello everyone! I have a 35g hex FOWLR with a serious blue-green algae or cyano problem! The tank is about 5 months old with about 20 lbs of live rock and 1-1/2" crushed coral substrate. Started out with running just a mechanical filter (pengiun 200) and T8 15w 8000k flourescent light. It was...

Set up the tank about 3 months ago. It cycled in about 2 weeks, then I added the clown. The salinity, when I put him in, was 1.026 and i just dropped it down to 1.024. Could that be it?? His fins look good, but his eyes have a glazed over hazy blue tint to them. I'm not sure if the eye...

Just bought a spiny Boxfish from the LFS and it puffs up 4 or 5 times a day. Its been a week so far, and he seems ok and eats as much as i feed him haha. I am new to the hobby and I am pretty anal about water conditions. Not sure if its normal and he is still getting used to the new water or...
