I have some brown-ish (slightly orange) zoas growing in my tank. I’ve been reading more and more about brown zoas being invasive but I can’t decide if mine look suspicious. Opinions?

Pretty happy about 6 weeks in! Found my first bristle worm and one (that I’ve seen) starfish.... pushing pause on more coral for now- I love what I have!

I think I’m going to go with a Nest camera- at least I can use it around the house if I come across something better later

I was getting ready to epoxy my new Octospawn coral to a rock, and it slipped out of my hand.... I caught it, but one side doesn’t have any polyps extending now. The hard skeleton is intact as far as I can tell. Thoughts or suggestions? I don’t want disease to settle in.

Found a bristle worm at least 2-3” long. Leave him or remove him? I read mixed reviews....

1080p. It’s seriously good. How it would do submerged under water for long periods of time I’m not sure. They do have good warranties.

Hi all! I’ve decided I’d like to have a camera for the tank when I’m away for work. I know Reef-Can is popular, what do you all use? At that price I might as well get a Go Pro! Thanks!

I feel like tank space for Tangs is a hot topic, but I rarely hear of alternative suggestions. I’m planning way in advance what fish is like to have so that I can put the appropriate fish in first/last etc. I have a RS E260 and is like to have one larger bodied fish similar to a tang. I love...

My tank has a lot of diatoms but not as much algae. Will the diatoms be enough? I read about how to feed them- it’s pretty funny!

Great! Thanks for pointing that out. Much better! My friend came by today with a present (I told him to consult me first next time)- a small tuxedo urchin! He is so funny and having a blast carrying stuff around. I’ll keep a close eye on him, I would have waited a few months, but he seems...

Today I added my first coral- a leather coral, and a snail and cleaner shrimp. Have some diatoms and algae going on as expected. Thought the coral might take a bit to be happy but within two hours it opened up quite a bit. I need to get better at taking photos of corals... a hobby within a hobby!

Creating this thread after a few members suggested it so I can share my progress! Day 1 was technically last Thursday but the tank ended up so unlevel that I had to drain it. The LFS came back and leveled it today and we’re up and running!

Thanks! I checked and it’s away from the wall. I live in Amsterdam so it’s not surprising the floor isn’t totally level.... but this is more than it seemed. (They didn’t offer suggestions, but to be fair carrying a 70 gal tank up three flights of Amsterdam stairs had us all pretty exhausted).

Hi all! The LFS came and set up my new tank and it was a little off level wise. Now that I’ve come home at the end of the evening and it’s dark out, the level is quite off- maybe an inch difference in the water level between the back right and front left corners. Not only is it annoying and...

Hi everyone! I’m new to saltwater and just set up a new Red Sea E-260! I just moved to Amsterdam from Chicago recently, and I ran across your forum and have been diving into the FAQ’s. I thankfully found a great LFS, and I’m excited to get to know you! Cheers to Day 1!
