So I had a nice piece of SPS in my biocube 29...toward the bottom because my LED lighting tends to bleach anything higher...I've had it for quite some time and I don't know whether it 'got used' to my tanks params, but it was the only piece of SPS I was able to keep...I'll try to remember the...

Saw these random bursts of clouds in my tank and looked for the source and its what looks like a small stomatella...my question is, is this a reproductive act---or maybe just sifting through some sand? Of course he was done with his fun by the time I got the camera out, but I tried to take a...

I don't know anymore honestly...I've tried useless peppermint shrimp...I've shot with Kalk paste...then with Aiptasia X, which was actually working, so I thought and then I come back from a few days away and it's all over the place. I am strongly considering a bristle-tail filefish...I think...

Hello friends! I got a good deal on an acrylic small tank that is drilled and I am going to use as a frag tank...it is a shallow tank that is about 10g I assume. I was originally going to use my on-hold-but-running 5.5g pico as a display fuge, but figured I'd go to Petco and splurge the $10 on...

So I've only had a Biocube and a pico with HOB filtration...got a good deal on a small acrylic frag tank...its approx 24x8x9 or something close to that...has a 1.75" hole for drain on right...and 1.5" hole for return on left... I was planning on using my 5.5g pico as the sump (knowing I will...

ARGH! I am quite annoyed! I go down to check on tank before bed time and see my hermit with a death grip on what seems to be the foot of my clam... WTF!! I've had it for over a month without a problem, and have had the hermit for 2+ years. I have a feeling I may be having crab for dinner...

Oh boy...so I purchased a pico from a local reefer less than a year ago...ordered new bulbs and now I can't get the splash guard acrylic off...I don't want to break anything, but it seems maybe salt creep is impeding the track? I dont know :(. Anyone have any suggestions??

Hello all...I will get right to it. Had some electrical work done about a month ago...serious stuff, house was underpowered so we increased the voltage coming into the house and got a bigger panel. Right after that, everytime I turned on my Mac Pro desktop (on a different circuit, in a...

So I've been using for a while now the PetCo 5g saltwater and Walmart/Target R/O Top-off water. I was wondering if I need to add any trace elements to the R/O? I have been thinking about adding kalk to it, but I need to set up my ATO again to get everything running smoothly. Any help is...

I have googled this a bit and all I've seen is pretty old threads. In my pico I have used an AC20 and AC40 (I think) modded into fuges and the impellers keep getting clogged/damaged. I guess it's sand and other things getting in there. My idea was to use a pump and a kritter keeper. I have...

Got this fun little guy for free when I purchased some frags (I had my eye on one for a while anyway)...it seems to have split yesterday and has 4 mouths...I've been feeding it mysis for the fun of it...anything else I need to know about these guys? I have read not to put my hand anywhere near...

My little guy just freaked me out...ahhh... we had a lot of electrical work done today and the tank was down (just with a battery op bubbler) for a few hours...it has been on for probably the last 8 no problem and then something tripped the GFI... I come and switch it back and my clown...

So I had purchased a pico from a local reefer a little while back and had a bunch of things go wrong, so after a little time I decided to start it back up from scratch...its a 5.5g tank now connected to an AC40 I believe (the smaller, used to have bigger one but impeller kept getting clogged)...

Hello! Started noticing these white bumps popping up all over my rock...the only guess I have is it may have something to do with a turbo snail I recently bought that has a bunch of barnacles hitchhiking on it...maybe? sorry for photo it is from iphone :overhere:

I know I know...R/O is the way to go...but right now I have to use some tap water for top-off. What is the best possible water conditioner/additive that I can use? I use the PetCo saltwater for my regular water changes etc and buy Walmart water for top-off, but there is so much evaporation on...

So I've noticed a trend with my tank...About every 2+ weeks I do a water change on my biocube 29...and lately right before I am about to do it the acans all look better than ever...plump and gorgeous...why is this? You would think they'd look best right after a water change lol:poke:

So I was checking out my tank doing a nice job of rebounding from nudibranch nuking mania and noticed this: The nuclear green a few inches back...amongst the blue palys...how'd it get there? everything pictured (the duncan, nuclear green, palys, etc.) survived the nuking...so g-bless...

Been crazy busy at work, never got to start a new tank thread or talk enough about what happened. Some of you might have seen a couple of my posts. Long story, short...the pretty nudibranch I had more than likely wiped out most of my tank...It was fine, eating sponge, but probably got caught...

What do you think...seems to be morphing colors a bit...picture is under blue/red LEDs courtesy of eBay lol. LEDs and T-5s in my pico Eating...baby heads...woo

So I've done some searches and it looks like I've got some solitary Caryophylliidae on my new live rock...It's impossible for me to take a picture of it, mainly because of my photography skill not my equipt lol. it looks like the one this dude is talking about: CaryFAQs Has that skeleton...
