I wonder if there is some interest in a tank buddy arrangement during the summer vacation to watch each other's tanks. We moved to California two years ago and now know a few people who could watch our two tanks. However, none of them know about reef tanks, and I am not sure how useful having...

The subject is basically my question. Since I am stuck at level 1 of my coral game for the past 1.5 years, I messed up the floor this weekend with quite a bit of coral glue on the tiles. How would I best be able to remove this? @JustinBolton - I feel you might be even the expert in this?

I love corals but I dread glueing them onto plugs, rocks etc, so I am always looking for ways to make this easier. Is the attached product a suitable accelerator for the same branded coral glue, or are there better/more suitable products you guys recommend? This seems to have a strawberry...

Had a very nice conversation with @JustinBolton following his tank move today and he recommended an interesting youtube channel I do not believe I have come across previously. Since there seems to be a lot of hidden advertisement and inexperienced 'reefers' on youtube, would be great to hear...

I got interested in the 'feeding blackworms approach' for naturally healthy and disease resistant fish. Since this is an old school approach, has anyone tried it and experience to share? Also, does anyone know where to buy them for breeding purposes?

I have been reading several posts here about corals, which seem to take over the tank unwanted, and folks regretting decisions made in the past that are difficult to reverse. We could collect an inventory of these here to warn newbies such as myself from adding them naively into the tank. I...

Folks, where can I buy these black rubbermaid bins you are all using for tank transfers etc? I am planning to go on a Mantis hunt and might have to take out all of my rocks and put them into these. Thanks!

My latest Fauna Marin ICP continues to show higher Aluminum, the only real issue which is nice. Does anyone have any recommendation how to reduce this without water changes? Is a Polyfilter effective in doing this? I have used one but it did not change color for a week (other than brown :))...

I bought this 10 gallon and another 5 gallon container. I also bought the respective 1/2 and 3/4 caps separately through Amazon to close the fittings. However, my leak test noted that there is still water leaking out of the cap as they do not seem to seal properly. How do I get these properly...

My overflow is getting dirty, and I was wondering if it is a good (or bad) idea to have some clean up crew dedicted to this area? Would they go into the pipes and cause issues?

We have been feeding various rods food, spirulina brime, PE Mysis, TDOs in various sizes, and seaweed. From all the food, it looks like none of the fish except the clowns eat this really. Is this normal? We do add stuff to frozen food such as garlic, vitamins and/or selcon every time. I would...

Hi there, I would be interested to hear what you guys are using for MP40 settings with dual / tri / quad setup of these pumps.I recognize this depends on your tanks specific, SPS dominant, mixed reef etc. I would be more interested in a mixed reef setup, but SPS dominant settings are interesting...

I thought I was done with the tech part for now but looks like I would need a gyre, due to some dead spots in the tank. I am planning to place them upright in both left and right corners. Seems like most do not have a fantastic rating, app issues, hard to clean etc. Not sure if there are any...

Jim (telegraham) made a claim in his recent livestream that the ceramic blades for the Tunze scratch the glass. Anyone else having these concerns or experienced this? I have only used this for a few weeks, and maybe someone has more longer-term experience. Scratching the glass of my new tank...

Does anyone know where to buy the Ranco controller and which model is recommended? A year ago, I bought the following model, pre-wired, dual stage, for my nano tank, and I will now need another since I decided to keep the nano. However, it seems as if the Aqua Logic website is down, not sure...

I have been able to catch one of (two?) Mantis Shrimp, which came with the Florida live rock I ordered. It is tiny, and the picture below is only for reference, not the actual picture. It is currently in my pico tank and easy to catch if someone is interested.

Has anyone used these media reactors before, e.g. for GAC or GFO? They are currently not in stock, but I would wait for it if useful. Since I do not have one yet, I wanted to buy one that is effective and easy to maintain, which this seems it would be...
