We just picked up about 300 lbs of used rock from a neglected tank. About half was in one tank and is algae free. The other half.... Not so much. Along with free live rock we got lots and lots of hair algae, aiptaisa, and bubble algae. We don't need it right away. Our DT still isn't even...

Hey guys. We are building our 125g sump for our 290g DT. Here are our sump plans, good? bad? ugly? Lay it on us! We want to do this as 'right' as we possibly can. If you could go back with your sump, what would you change today that you didn't know then?

After 6 years of being out of the hobby, we are back. We were still technically newbies when we left previously, our last reef is in my signature. Now we bought a 290 gallon acrylic hex flat back tank. It is scratched, will need buffed. We will be looking for advice, documenting, and sharing...

I am getting ready to cut back everything that is overgrowing within the tank. I have Green Star Polyps growing like crazy. I'll seperate with it cheap, not wanting to be greedy, we could just use the money right now, and also if it doesn't sell it will be thrown away because it's killing the...

I have had one for quite sometime now and never have used it. I have the Phosban Media and activated carbon. How in the heck do I use it?? Can I put both medias in at once? I know y'all are going to suggest to get two seperate and daisy chain them together but we only have the one reactor at the...

Well, we are planning out a baby nursery. I want it to be 'under-water' themed. All walls painted with a ocean mural. At first, we were going to do Nemo, but figured it may be to 'typical'. I started searching for ocean murals, trying to figure out if I want the ceiling a sky, or the surface of...

I just got a clown goby and it's very dark blue. I have researched clown gobies, so no one jump on me for that, but have not seen dark blue ones. Anyone have any info/links on them? I can't seem to find any, or I'm just internet impaired today..

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope you and your families have a very happy and safe day today. Hmm....

My brain coral that is... You can see the "bump" his mouth is to the left of the bump. Another showing the bump, This is showing the entire brain, you can see on the right on his "skirt" (for lack of better wording) it is "lighter more of a pink" in that section, to the right of...

First-This is not my idea, it is another users from elsewhere, but would like to share. Take adhesive velcro, only use the rough side of it. Wrap it around anything stick-like so you can have a handle. I use the end of a toothbrush opposite of the bristles. Waa laaa! Easy HA remover...

I have a very overgrown colony of pulsing Xenia that needs to be fragged. It seems that everytime I cut a stalk off, and superglue it to a rock, it's gone the next day, I have tried all different superglue gel, I just think it's the Xenia releasing something where I cut it that is count acting...

I clean mine daily, if not morning and night, otherwise, it gets cloudy, I have some amazing poopers in my tank I believe that's where it's coming from.

I have a trickle filter for sale/trade. I bought it to get the overflow off of. It was used for about 6 months. Bio balls (for those that prefer them) are there. Everything except for the overflow. I will take pics shortly. It was on a 75g. Thanks, let me know if your interested.

:snshne: Yesterday I got a 48" Odyssea HQI 2x175w light. :snshne: I am not an expert on them so don't jump on me if I said anything wrong. But we have the ballast for it, it doesn't fit in our stand!! The only way it will fit is if it is standing upright, on it's back end. There are...

Ok, here's the ultimate question-- My fiance and I are disagreeing on substrate for our new tanks we are setting up. I like sand, He likes CC because it doesn't get "messed up" as easily. And simply likes the looks of it. Which do you prefer.. and why. Isn't CC a nitrate trap??

Hello all! Well, we have held onto this Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper long enough and still haven't used it. It works wonderfully! Everything checks out fine. The temp probe is included. We are taking offers on it. This is NOT the ReefKeeper 2. This is the original. I do still have...
