This is the last fish I want to add to my 40gal. I want 3 fish and no more than 3 fish in there to keep the bioload low. Current occupants are yellow clown goby and a false perc. I came across a guy selling a 2" Beauty and I wanted to make sure it would not conflict with any of the other...

I've noticed that in my sand bed there seems to be an increasing amount of gunk. Where it is pressed against the glass I can see bright greens and reds. Is this cyano? I've got 3 nacarrious snails roaming about but haven't really seen them in awhile, hopefully they're still alive. I just...

Good luck to anyone trying to get U2 tickets, both shows sold out in 20minutes. I was on the ball online ready to rock and roll. Started my request and the server booted me not once but twice, and then it was too late. Then they announced a second show and I swear I was first in line for...

So..I've decided to start feeding my corals every night in hopes extra food will equate to more growth and reproduction. And so far everything has been pretty happy...fat and happy. But when I get home today my green hairy shrooms are NOT happy at all. They seem to have expelled most of...

This vid is work safe but keep the speakers on low in the beginning: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/numanuma.html

Ok, so I've got 2 24" 55w lights on my 40gal tank. Right now it's got zoos, an open brain, alvepora, rics and shrooms. My tank is 19" tall, I'm thinking of adding another 2x55w lights. Do I need this for what I've got? Will there be any negative side effects to what's already living there or...

Here's a few websites to help you choose a reef safe fish, it will give you tank size requirements/feeding habits/compatibaility. This should be a first stop when looking to get a new fish: www.fishindex.com www.WetWebMedia.com www.FishBase.org This may be worthy of a sticky.

Are there any websites out there dealing entirely with farm raised fish and corals?

A member of sdreefs accidentally got a shipment of 26 clownfish and the person who accidentally shipped them told him to keep him for fear the fish won't make the return trip. So, he's selling false percula's for $10. My question is will it cohabitate with shrooms/open brain/alveopora ok? I...

Looking for a used retrofit, mostly interested in 55/65 watt ballasts with dual switches and sockets. If you have a hood, that's ok, but I'm mostly interested in the ballasts. Please let me know if you have something like this to sell.

I thik I've got a mantis shrimp. I see something hiding in my rock and it's not a crab/snail and I have nothing else in my tank that's mobile (except the orange brittle). Whenever it ducks away I hear a faint "click click click" and it's timed forwhenever it does pull away. They are...

I've got a question for people who use rubbermaid (or equivilant) plastic tubs for sumps. Each and every type of plastic is a different grade depending on what's going to be stored in it. From basic plastic to food grade plastic. When I brew beer, I use food grade plastic 5 gallon bucket to...

My brain (not the one in my head) is doing something funky, maybe it's starting to split? One end of it is really puffed up big and the whole thing is twitching and moving about. How do these things reproduce? I fed it cyclops-ese via turkey blaster last night and the whole thing doubled...

All I can think about is the fun to be had this weekend and I'm still stuck here at work. This is killing me. My coworkers and I have come to the consensus that this is the slowest day on record. Ever.

I just did a test using a Salfert kit for KH/AK and both are high. I'm reading 9.7/3.5. What, exactly, does this mean? I know I can get it back to seawater/nominal range but what or how does this affect the system as a whole? Going to RC to read up on it now. Thanks

I got this piece of rock with two plants on it and I need help IDing it. Please let me know if it's beneficial or not. I do plan on putting this into a fuge at one point nad the green one is growing fast: Thanks!

Ok, for whatever reason I can't respond to the thread where t his was being talked about so I just started a new one. What is the rule of thumb for # of crabs/snails in your tank? So far I've heard 1 per gallon for crabs. I've got 15+/- in a 40 gal w/ 55lbs LR. I thought that was too many...

Basically...how do you do it? Anyone have writeups? I know you need to remove a coral/squishy thing from one piece of rock to another, but how are they attached? Specifically I'd need to know about zoa's and shrooms. What kind of glue to use?

Well, it's about freakin' time. Today my bud Nate tore down his tank and I picked up some pink/purple shrooms, yellow/orange zoo's, Green Frog Spawn (not super healthy but one head is alive), two Rics (also not very happy at the moment but they should pull through) and something else, an...

I had one of these in my old FOWLR tank. I really like the way they look, very powerfull (for a shrimp). But...are they reef safe? I've read some posts about them eating other shrimp (the sexies) but I wanted opinions about them in general. I'd like to get one, but not if it's going to be a...
