What is suggested for a 125 gallon FOWLR? Keep in mind although the tank is 22" deep, I will have 6" of sand and a 1" top gap so the water will only be about 15" deep. I do not plan on any corals (I have a separte reef tank) but I do plan on some type of algae or sea grass to grow in the tank...

Hello All, I am currently contemplating upgrading my reef tank to either a 65 gallon (36"L * 18"D * 24"H) or, a 90 gallon tank (48"L * 18"D * 24"H). I would go, no brainer, with the 90, but it will be a bit big for the space. So, size wise for the room, the 65 seems the better idea. However...

I need some ideas for a honeymoon destination. I am getting married next September. I would like to find a place that is romantic and relaxing and fit for a good honeymoon, but also that has great reef scuba diving. I have never been scuba diving, but we plan to take lessons this summer before...

Just thought I would share. I got this guy today. After 4 hours of a slow drip acclimation, this is a pic of him immediately after entering my tank. He grab on and started moving around immediately. Hopefully he is happy and lives a long life. I have been looking for a health specimen for a...

I have a pair of maroon clowns and a bta in a 29 gallon reef. The bta is about in the middle of the tank. Do you think I could add one more fish? And if so, what would you suggest?

Howdy all. I have a question for all of you sps keepers and knowledge reef keepers. I have been reading quite a bit about certain soft corals, and supposedly certain large polyp stonies that emit toxins into our tanks that can harm and potentially kill small polyp stonies, and certain large...

Hey all, I need some advice. I want to upgrade my current lighting to metal halide. I currently have a 29 gallon mixed reef with 3 55watt pc's. I want to be able to keep sps and clams, yet still keep my softies and lower light lps. I was thinking of going with 250 watt MH so I could use it when...

Hi all, Well what do you think? Is 250 mh on a 29 gallon reef too much. Will it harm my lower light corals such as shrooms, leathers exc? I wan't MH so I can keep higher light coral and clams better. I was think 150/175 but I don't want to have to upgrade the lighting again if I upgrade the...

So I purchased this coral quite some time back. I was told it was a blue ridge coral but was not given a actual name. obviously I was still a rookie to be buying a coral I knew nothing about, but that was a long time ago. So it is some type of encrusting coral, and it grows quite rapidly. I...

Ok, I feel like a moron, but I just purchase my first digital camera and I cannot figure out how to properly resize the pictures so I can post them on -line. Any tips? The only software I have is that which came from Canon. It is Arcsoftware, PhotoImpression. It has a resize function, but it...

Hello, I have been looking at a digital camera. The Canon Powershot A70. Does anyone have any experiance with this camera? Is this any good, or should look at something else? Is there another recommended digital camera around $350 (the price for this one) that is recommended? Thanks All,

Hello all, I just purchased some green ricordia mushrooms the other day. They are attached to a rather flat piece of rock. They look very healthy. The problem is that there are a couple of ricordia on the back side of the rock that will not get any light. Is it possible to remove these...

Just curious on which bulbs are the best to use, as far as light intensity and health of the animals. 1) 10K 2) 7100 blue 3) 03 actinics 4) 50/50's Is it correct that the 03 are the true actinics and are much better than the 7100's? Also, are the 50/50 any good, or are they junk? I ask because...

IJust want to pat my self on the back. I just successfully paired two gold-stripped maroon clown fish. Here is my story:) I had the first clown (the female) for about 10 months roughly. I also had a BTA for about the same amount of time that the female hosted in. I decided to try to add a...

I ordered a gold striped maroon clown, tank raised, juvenal. I am going to attempt to pair it up with my female gold-stripped maroon clown, which is the only other fish in my tank. I am considering whether I should quarantine this fish. On one side, I would hate to have it have a disease and...

Mod's, I hope this post is ok, please change anything that is not, but please try to keep the message in tack if possible. Hello, To anyone in and around the Lansing, Michigan area interested in the possibility of starting or joining a reef enthusiasts club! I know many of us have thrown this...

Hello, So a long time ago, maybe eight months, I purchased and emerald crab. Dark Green. After a month or so, I could no longer find him. I do have about 50lbs of liverock, so it was possible he was hiding, but for that long? Then about a month ago I changed from cc to dsb, and in doing so, I...

Hello, Can you tell me about the Banggai Cardinals you have? How old are they, what are they eating, when they would be ready for sale? I am looking into getting a mated pair, but probably just one of your's and one from someone else. If you or anyone else knows where else to buy tank raised...

I see often where people talk about having a good pod population in there sump or refugium, and the pods somehow make it up to their main tanks. How?? I would think that the pod would either be blocked by the foam (or what every you use) from gettin into the last chamber of the refg/sump and if...

Ok, I am considering breaking down and adding a skimmer to my tank. I have went two year without one, but I am going to start dosing limewater and I want to start maintaining more consistant levels in my tank. I need to have a hang-on style that is somewhat compact. One that is not overly...
