Hey, everything is great. Corals are doing wonderful too. Only bad thing is my marineland biowheel broke so I am waiting for my new canister filter to come in. Just praying everything does ok with the tiny filter I have running now. It started making a loud grinding noise. Not sure if the zoas...

hi, im in wilmington, philly is only 30mins away from me. Do you still have them?

whoops, I think I edited the post instead of replying lol but to those of you who already replied, thanks so much for your help. I hope this guy makes it. I really want to venture into the reef world.

Hi all, I just left petco and bought their mixed water since it had great reviews. The mushroom went from balled up to back open so Im hoping he is ok. I had him on the substrate under a cave so he was getting indirect lighting. I did a 35% water change using the natural salt water from...

I just left petco and bought their natural sea water because it got great reviews and I know I should stop using tap water since Im sure its the root of all my problems. Anywhoo, I did a 35% water change and the mushroom went from shriveled up to open now. He was under a cave so he had...

I guess I vacuum the sand so often because Im scared that if I leave the poop for a whole week it will begin to decompose and cause spikes. My turbos poop tons and it drives me crazy. Im a house wife so I constantly look at my tank. Im kinda OCD with it. lol. How long is okay to leave poop...

Hi all, I have a mushroom coral for about 2 wks now and it has been doing fine. I dont supplement the water at the moment, however I will go get iodine. Atleast thats what I read to get unless someone knows better. Anywho, I noticed today this chunky brown/red like clump come out its...

I actually have 3 different species that were once in a 16 gallon and they were mean when I added a new one but after a day or two they got along. they were in there for like 8mos. I just now upgraded to a 30gal.

oh ok, thanks much

I was at the lfs yesterday and decided that I should try a mushroom coral. Ive been doing saltwater for about 8mos now. Anywho, The mushroom I liked I bought. While in the car I examined it some more and noticed it seemed to be attached to a twig looking thing. It was completely covered in...

A few weeks ago I bought a pump, I thinks its a penguin. Ive also wanted to build a sump for the main purpose to add water volume to my 30 gallon display tank. I have figured how to do everything, except is there a way to use that pump to push water back to my display? I threw the box away so...

im by no means a pro but if I see a bunch of stuff laying on my sand I just take my regular siphon and hold it right over the spots and it sucks it up. I dont have a special attachment. Works perfect for me. As long as you are not putting it in the sand you will only take a couple grains with...

Thanks guys....Ive read storys and when I bought him the lfs guy told me he had done it. Im on day 2 and he is still thriving. Only problem he has is my clarkii likes to steal food and hide it lol. And my domino damsel doesnt like new fish for a couple of days, but he seems to hold his own...

Ive seen quite a few questions floating on the web about how to do it and nobody had the same answer. I basically followed Mr.Saltwaters drip acclimation instructions. He was not talking about changing BW to SW but his advice seems the best. And It worked. My Green Spotted puffer is doing...
