    additives?

    I know I need to add calcium since my levels were ~420 and I think I need to increase my KdH. What else should I be adding? I see so many products that talk about improving coral growth and health, but I am one whoe think less is best and thus I do not want to add stuff that my tank really...

    My first Ebay Coral purchase

    thanks for the advice. They are all going to be very small so room should not be an issue. I spent the weekend finishing my aquascaping, but I can't seem to get the look I want. I will mess with it some more tonight since I will be getting the first batch of corals this Friday. This might...

    My first Ebay Coral purchase

    it is $20 base shipping for me +$5 per frag. The main thing is I can't get these at the LFS and the ones I can are pretty pricey. I bought a similar frag tonight from ThatFishPlace since it is about an hour from me and it is double the price of one frag I got through this guy. I guess I...

    Red Sea Max - slow and steady

    I hope to only drill a few rocks to shore things up and then use epoxy in other spots. I will have the rock in a container and only have it out when drilling. I wish I would have done this from the beginning, but I am sure most people say that all the time about this or that.

    Koralia 2 + BTA

    then I might just get a GBTA instead of spending $100+ on a RBTA :)

    My first Ebay Coral purchase

    Coral #1 Coral #2 Coral #3 Coral #4 with shipping it was $92 for all 4. I will likely get a few more from him and the extra ones will only be $5 more per coral to ship with this batch :) If anyone knows other people selling on Ebay that gives a break on shipping to PA please let me...

    RO/DI Unit - what should I get?

    I have a 37g Red Sea Max so I will not need a high flow one, but I do plan on getting a larger tank in a few years. What are the key things it should have? Any particular brand/model to look at?

    Koralia 2 + BTA

    should I worry at all of it getting sucked in? I figure it is drawing water in from all around the powerhead and not one small opening so I might be OK? Just wanted to know before I buy the anenome

    Red Sea Max - slow and steady

    Well its been 2 months since I started and my Ammonia, Nitrite, and nitrate levels have all been 0 for a full month now. I will be getting the other test kits this weekend - I can't find them at any of the close LFS so I have to drive a bit to get them. I am having some issues with algae...

    snail? slug??

    99% sure that is what it is - thanks the "fast movers" part is very true. At least they are good for the tank - I have a bunch of them too.

    snail? slug??

    The mainly come out without the lights on and if you turn the lights on they can actually move relatively fast for a snail/slug. I thought it was a chiton at first, but I am not sure at this point

    feeding clownfish

    I thought once a day was fine, but now I see 2-3 times a day? Is this correct?

    Lawnmower Blenny - hiding?

    fully enclosed, but he might be able to jump into the refuge on the back of the tank - I need to dismantle the hood and look today. thanks

    Lawnmower Blenny - hiding?

    I looked the best I can in the tank and can't see him. I will look harder in the sump area tomorrow. Its a Red Sea Max 34g tank and thus it is possibly that he might have gone back there. Being a new tank and the first two fish that I have added I figured I would see a spike if he died so at...

    Lawnmower Blenny - hiding?

    I just got one this weekend along with a small clownfish. These were my first two fish that I have added. The clown is really small and I tried to get the smallest lawnmower blenny that the guy could catch. He was small, but not too small. After 2 days my ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are...

    CUC - enough?

    thanks for the info as for the bumble bee snail this is what the website for where I got them has for them. I will look into it further though, I didn't realize some snails were not reef safe :) I want to finish off my aquascape before I add anything else.

    CUC - enough?

    not sure?

    I will post more pics if I can, but this rock seems to be the hangout place since at least 2-3 of the hermit crabs will be there and the anemones stay right next to eachother. Its hard to get a good pic of them since something is always blocking them. I assume hermit crabs are immune to the...

    CUC - enough?

    Well this is what I have - 34g red sea max I know some people are not found of crabs, but some people get by with them so I did include them. I am not really feeding the tank since there is enough algae that I don't think I need to. Crabs - 9 3 Scarlet Reef Hermit Crabs 2 Tricolor...
