Hello everyone, I'm planning to drain my tank tomorrow and will be passing it along to a family friend for his daughter. Could anyone advise on the best procedure for preparing the tank for transfer to another hobbyist? Is it as simple as draining the tank, scraping off any coral encrusting...

Hello folks, Do any of you have a spare pump that you are tying to get rid of? Thanks!

Greetings! I'd like to address the recent state of my tank, which I regrettably neglected due to prioritizing the care of my son, who was experiencing some minor health concerns. However, now that he has recuperated splendidly, I am eager to restore my tank to its former glory. Allow me to...

Hello folks, TL;Dr; I am looking to switch salts and looking for suggestions. Currently using Red Sea Coral Pro (black bucket) and need to find a salt that mixes cleaner. This one leaves a brown residue that etches itself into the Home Depot buckets, and coats my heater and mixing powerheads...

Folks, So I’ve been battling bubble algae in my tank due to my own negligence with delaying water changes. I am considering resorting to Vibrant since I currently don’t have any SPS in the tank. The other option I am strongly considering, is hard resetting the tank with new rock and sand...

Visiting some family in Moraga, and thinking of stopping by HTA! Looking forward to my first visit on my way back to the City!

Folks, For the past few weeks, I have been battling bubble algae. I have been trying to scrape it off during water changes (straight into the python).

Hello folks, The last coral deaths have sparked an algae bloom in my tank. Can someone please help me identify the algae and the method to control / eliminate it? The algae holds its structure when taken out of the water. Thanks!

After a tank crash scare last week, I finally started taking the first of two remaining steps towards automation. Set up the FMM/ATK v2 with a DIY reservoir. Found these 5.8qt OXO Pop container at Target for $20 and decided to use that as a reservoir to save some $$$. (Why are ATO reservoirs so...
