    My new seahorse tank

    Nothing too special here, just showing off my project of the last 24 hrs. A couple of years a go I successfully reared a few H. Kuda (seahorses) from a gorgeous mating pair and I have gotten the itch to see what happens again. I got the tank, a rimless curved glass corner 15 gallon, as well as...

    Anyone have experience with Flame Cardinals?

    I have a weakness for cardinals. I have never kept flames though. Does anyone have any experience with the, specifically in a SPS/clam tank?

    Vortech pump operation modes

    Just curious. What mode do you Vortech owners run your pump in and why? I can see advantages to each and I was wondering what the consensus is.

    Cool hitch hiker, but should I keep it?

    Tonight I noticed something in my RBTA, so I went over to see what it was. Turns out it is a porcelain crab. It seems to get along well with my clowns. I have not bought a single piece of LR in atleast 8 years so it has to have come in on a coral. The problem is I want to try my hand at...

    "Stunner" LED question

    When I was at Fish Gallery for the MARSH event today I picked up an actinic strip to supplement the halide pendant over my corner tank. They only had the power supply for multiples linked together, but I am only running one 12". Does anyone know of a source for an inexpensive power supply...

    Im not impressed with the new style MJ1200

    I picked up a newer style MJ with the prop add on. After one day of use it is in my equipment closet, not in a tank. First of all it is huge with the prop attatchment on as compared to other pumps such as Tunze nano's (I know, big price difference). The pump that is in its position is on the...

    Cleaning live rock

    I have some large pieces of LR that I have kept in a really big refugium for a few years. I want to make some space in there for some equipment so I want to clean them up so I can sell them. They have various species of macro algaes growing throughout them. Scrubbing is taking forever. I...

    Dammit...here goes another build for me! (with update video)

    I had a blank corner in my living room, so what else was I supposed to do but start another tank! I had a bunch of really nice equipment in my pet closet so I thought I would put it to good use. It will be SPS and clams. The tank is a 54 gallon RR All Glass that I paid about 200 on clearance...

    What the heck are these?

    I have a few of these small anemones that hitch hiked in on a piece of LR. When they grow to the size of approximately a quarter they split and I have found a few throughout the tank. The color in the photo is washed out from the halides but they are grass green with pink tips. They are quite...

    RIDICULOUSLY cheap IQF silversides

    I went to the asian market at Beechnut and beltway 8 today and found these silversides. In the past to feed my predatory tank and anemones I have paid over $10 for a few ounces at the LFS for IQF's. This 14 oz pack cost me $2.99! There were a few different brands and even dried silversides...

    How long can you safely shut down your tank?

    I want to pull the sump out of my 54 gallon predatory tank to put in baffles. I wanted to avoid baffles at first simply to save space but I cannot get rid of microbubbles resulting from the combo of an ER skimmer and a high flow return pump relative to the size of this tank. My concern is in...

    Nuisance RBTA's. Joe's Juice?

    Some of you may have read my panic attack thread the day my RBTA split for the first time about 2 months ago. I am now up to FIVE of these suckers! I have no friggin idea why they are doing this. They are all healthy and eat silversides. My system paramaters are literally perfect and my...
