Hey everyone, I have been thinking about setting up a 30g tall and wanted to put aggressive fish in it. I was thinking a drawf lion and maybe an eel that stays small. I really don't have too much knowledge about aggressive setups so any advice would be greatly appreciated. The tank I was...

Ok, well this is kinda an ongoing debate/question that me and the lfs guy are trying to figure out. In the directions for biocalcium it says to "sprinkle" the powder on the surface of the water. Well, neither I nor the LFS guy like this idea so we would always premix it with RODI water and...

So today when messing around with my tank I found that in several areas the sand is very hard and clumped together. I have heard of this before and think it had to do with to much buffering or alkalinity of something like that. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to corect it??

You know you are all guilty of this at one time or another in our hobby.....Your are in the LFS and they just got a new shipment of corals in. You pick out a beautiful acro colony and a decent sized frogspawn that you have been waiting for. Then it dawns on you.....where in the world do you...

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around lately, but I have been busy with school and studying for the MCAT. Anyways I have a couple of questions. 1) I just placed my hammer and my frogspawn in polyps reach of eachother. It is possible for them sting eachother or should they be ok? 2) I...

Ok, so I went to the LFS last week on one of my weekly water runs and I came home with an acro that I couldn't pass up. SO here it is. It started to turn brown, but now it is regaining its bright purple color with yellow pollyps.

Hey everyone, I have been pondering setting up a mini agressinve tank. Right now I have a 20g set up that I have not been using. I have been thinking of downsizing this to a ten, but I wanted to see what you guys said first. Please excuse my ignorence with aggressive fish, but I wanted to...

I have been thinking of changing up my lighting on my 55gal. Right now it has 4 110w VHOs and a 175W 12000K Sunburst MH. I want to take off 2 of the VHOs leaving 2 110W actinics and adding another Metal Halide. My question is should I upgrade the 175w ballast to a 250W and put 2 250Ws over it...

Hey guys, I haven't been home the last couple of days while my lights have been on because I have been stuck in the library studying for a biochem test that I have tomorrow. Well anywyas, I looked at my tank today and it appears that there has been rapid bleaching at the base of my poscillapora...

I am making up some salt water and I don't remember how much to add to get the right SG. I think it is 1/2 cup per 1 gallon, but I am not sure. It is Red Sea salt mix if that matters.

Ok, well I went to the LFS today and they have set up culture stations for phyto and rotifers. The have a good strain of both and are starting to churn out the stuff like crazy. My buddy there is selling the stuff for $8 for a little jar of phyto, beats DTs but still. So I told him I wanted...

I have a seaclone 150 that is in my refugium. Needless to say fromt he lighting it has algae and coraline grow on the inside if the tube. It is not working properly and I think this is the reason. Is there a way to open the main cylender and clean the inside? Has anyone done this?? What...

I went to the LFS yesterday and one of my buddies that works there just fragged a bunch of acros from his tank. I just couldn't refuse and ended up getting 5. I wish I could take better pictures, but this is the best I can do. This is a pic of three of them. The ones on the right and left are...
