    Angie's Reef Journey

    I currently have a 75g reef tank with about 150lbs of live rock and 40-50lbs of live sand. I have a mated pair of false perculas, 2 blue chromis, an engineer goby that likes to stay super busy rearranging my sand bed, and a snail eating serpent star. As for corals, I have a gorgeous fox coral...

    Serpent star eating my snails!!!

    so, this totally just happened! I was turning off the lights in my QT tank when I noticed my serpents out front in my DT. I stopped to look at him for a minute, as I find him very entertaining. I noticed there was a snail caught up in one of his arms. I figured no big deal, he'll find his way...

    Sump question for upgrade

    I'm upgrading my 75g to a 125g. Currently, I have a 20g sump. Is this ok for the 125g, or should I get a bigger sump. I'm thinking about converting the 75g into a sump for the 125g; would that be overkill?

    Nitrate issue

    My tank is over 4 years old and I've never had any real chemistry issues. Four days ago, I checked my parameters because my bubble tip anemone suddenly shriveled up. Knowing that anemones are very intolerant of parameter changes, this was my logical first step. Test results showed pH 8.2, NH3 0...

    Sealing a leaky aquarium

    I have a quick question, we bought a 125g tank that has a leak in one corner. I know we have to use 100% silicone, but is it ok if it says it's for windows, doors, and siding? It's 100% silicone, clear, and 100% waterproof...it's "DAP" brand (idk if that matters) Thanks for any advice

    Quarantine tank

    I have set up a 10 gallon QT using 10 gallons of water from my 75 gallon DT. Does this tank still need to cycle? It has a new filter on it. How long should I wait before I try to put new livestock in it? And would you quarantine all livestock, including corals, or just fish & inverts? I've never...
