    Getting back into reefing!

    So got my azure damels (3) and my ORA Springer dottyback comes tomorrow and got a free dwarf moray eel. Also I now know what keeps happening to my shrimp.

Got my yellow watchman goby that is already paired with a pistol shrimp. 2 porcelain crabs and 2 Babylon snails, all from Blue Zoo Aquatics. Tbh I don't think...

    Getting back into reefing!

    Honestly I love it.... I am so mad I ever spent time buying other aquariums. This tank is so good, that it is a constant reminder of how much money I wasted in this hobby not just starting with a good tank. If red sea offered a finance option I probably would of gone with them but this tank is...

    My UV sterilizer comes tomorrow to deal with my God awful cloud in my tank. Also ordering either my black ice clown fish pair or my goby/shrimp pair.

    QT tank ideas...

    You are missing the entire point. I have already explained what I would do in the event of needing to medicate. I am not sure why this is such a difficult concept for you to grasp or why you think I am unaware of how a med tank works. Simply asking if anyone has done a permanent QT tank that is...

    Getting back into reefing!

    Tank arrived today! The cabinet was a nightmare to set up. To be clear it was crazy easy as far as actually putting stuff together goes but the instructions were not helpful at all and I had to contact waterbox support to figure it out as there is no video for my specific stand online. I get...

    QT tank ideas...

    Yea super unhelpful buddy, sorry. I addressed medication and was wondering about permanent nice QT tanks and if anyone has done it, not just gone the cheap route. You can have sand for a QT especially if you have sand sifting fish, they don't particularly like bare bottoms and I am going to be...

    QT tank ideas...

    My thought process being I could use it as a nice observation tank and if I need to medicate I can always use a cheap petco 5-10 gallon w/ a sponge filter. I

    QT tank ideas...

    So my Waterbox 70.3 doesn't arrive until the end of the month/beginning of next month and I realize I will have a lot of QTing to do. I was curious if anyone has done a 10-20 gallon permanent QT tank w/ sand/live rock? I was thinking about getting a Waterbox 10 AIO cube and setting it up next to...

    HELP! how do i get rid of bristelworms and ich and algae

    Just remember to never dose copper in your main display (I did that on my very first tank, luckily it was before I added my shrimps) and had to buy a whole new tank. Ended up turning my original display into a quarantine tank.
