    What's this red stuff...Not Cyno

    Most of the other rock looks like aged live rock with coral on it. This stuff isn't aggressive and hasn't moved much. After a couple of years I see a little popping up here and there. I'm thinking Ca based because it never grew anywhere else until I bumped up my Ca reactor.

    more interested in learning more about it. It's been on the rock forever and isn't causing any issues. provides a good contrast. Some people suspect it's calcium based like coraline. Just trying to nail it down.

    Help...Moving a carpet anemone but have an added level of difficulty

    Back in 2011 when I set up my 150g, I didn't want direct rock to glass contact on the bottom of the aquarium and I also wanted the sand to stay in place so I put down egg crate then added rock and covered the bottom with about 1" of sand. Seemed like a great idea at the time and the tank did...

    Time to pick lighting for the new setup.

    Well it's time for me to hang lights and I am blessed to have a couple options already in my possession.. The options that I have (won't be buying anything new at this time) are 1) black box LED's or 2) 48" T5/250WMH combos. The combos have 2- 250w MH and 4 T5 bulbs. Trying to decide which...

    Moving lots of water to fill tank

    I am about ready to fill my 350 and am debating on either running my RO/DI unit for 3 days to fill it or just buying water from a LFS and getting it done. I have 2 35gallon containers that I could just make 4 trips back and forth to a store but I'd like to avoid that. Has anyone ever moved...

    Want to "recycle" a coral skeleton

    I have a couple good sized cool looking coral skeletons with some rock that I bought, that I would like to re-colonize with some type of coral colony. Recycle so to speak.

    Who out there is using a metal stand?

    For you metal stand users out there, What are the pros and cons of having a metal stand? If you were going to do it all over again, would you do metal again or would you just use a wooden stand?

    Cobraden's 350 build :-)

    As I said at the conclusion of the "Cobraden's 270 build" after the 270 broke, " This tank failure could be the universe's way of telling me I just didn't go big enough. :-) " Well I listened to the Universe and will start on a 350 build. Got the beast home this weekend. It's a 1 year old...

    Anyone ever move a large aquarium from Dallas to Houston?

    I know the answer is yes. The real question is how? I'm thinking of purchasing a tank from the Dallas area but not sure how I would get it here. Getting it loaded into the trailer may be the biggest issue. I don't mind the drive. Do you think it would be possible to pay a maint svs to meet...
