Do you guys keep plants in your tanks? If so love to see a tank shot. I was in Key West this past weekend and picked up a few plants, Mermaids Tail & Shaving Brush Plants. I soaked them in Coral RX rinsed them then put them in. So far so good, the Tang doesnt want to eat them and it adds nice...

I basically had to start from nothing other than a few fish and one frag, everything else had to be replaced. My old livestock either died in the transfer out to FL or was "lost" in CA. Hope you guys enjoy the photos, the new tank seems to be going strong.. fingers crossed. The next...

Hi guys on week 5 and I'm been doing 10% water changes each week and the total tank water volume is around 240 Gallons. My AK level are still dropping every 2 days, but look like they are now finally slowing down, only .1 drop over 2 days. CA is steady, but slightly low, and MG seems steady but...

I was really wanting a red serpent star, but I have heard mixed things about them eating reef fish. I have alot of bottom dwelling fish nad some wrasses that sleep in the sand. Can a Red Serpent Star be trusted to not eat fish?

I'm in the process of moving a few live rocks over to the display tank, almost all my corals have died. Yup basically lost everything due to the temp tank not being good enough, and another issue I will not bring up publicly. Anyway this is my last coral, and it now has this crappy white...

Guys, I went out on the sand bar by the house and I saw prolly 30 or more of these Florida Sea Slugs. I dropped on in the tank to to watch him for a couple days then gonna let him go. But if you guys pay for the shipping I could collect about 30 or so of them and ship them to one location and...

Hi guys, I have a problem, I have connections that leak. I hired a aquarium installer to design and install my plumbing. He installed it, but it had 5 leaks. 2 of them he fixed with, Reef puddy, Superglue, and an acrylic weld glue. One of the welded seams is still leaking, and another...

Anyone ever buy the SRO skimmer auto head cleaner? Had to find reviews and wondering it it's worth the extra $200

Which one do you guys think will be better? My total water volume is around 225 Gallons. My range is $500-600, I want to get the best skimmer I can, one that I will not have issues with and will last a long time. The skimmer will be a in sump design. Thoughts? SRO XP-3000 Super Reef...

I bought two new hydor koralia evolution 1400's and the matching controller to put in my tank for alternating current. But in testing it in my 40 gallon (just one power head) The star tup click is really loud. So loud in fact it freaks my Mystery and Leopard wrasse out and they frantically swim...

Whats the going rate for purple tangs out in the bay area? Over here, they are all $200+. I remember them being like $80-110 two years ago when I lived out that way.

Here's the deal, I have 4 aptasia on my live rock in my 40 breeder, I've been killing them with boiling water and a turkey baster. cheap and kills on contact, but I always seem to have another one or two pop up somewhere else. I'm setting up a new 200 gallon reef, and would like to seed...

Well, my little external HOB skimmer died on my 40 breeder. Instead of buying another small skimmer for this tank and since I'm setting up my 180 in a few months thinking of getting a external skimmer to have on the tiny tank as temp. I really don;t want to toss money away on this 40 gallon. So...

Since 80% of my corals from my CA tank were never shipped. I have to start over again picking up a few frags here and there when I get the time and money to get over to the LFS. Picked up these Blasto frags, the larger one looks awesome in person, hopefully I'll be able to grow them out. But...

Contacted AI directly and tried to get a bit more info on the new lights getting released. Still no date, but a bit more clarification on te specs - Smaller profile, - incorporates the new Cree line XML series (5 watt) Cool White LEDs for more intensity - Wireless Integrated -...

Is this a Manjo or something worth keeping alive? Should I kill it right away? If so how? It's larger than what I thought a Manjo would be

Anyone use them? Thoughts? The builds are interchangeable and it seems to be fairly modular

Trying to keep the skimmer under $800, and needs shorter than 36" and should also be energy efficient if possible. I'm thinking a submersible cone type, and leaning towards Super Reef Octopus, but open to ideas. Thoughts?

Still trying to decide on using an external - vs- a internal pump for the new tank. I was leaning towards external due to the reduced heat factor. But I'm open to suggestions. The main tank is 180-190 gallon peninsula style tank. I'm thinking the fuge will hold about 50-75 gallons. And the pump...
