    Faulty Equipment >_<

    So I am in the process of building a reef controller to control LED's & temperature. There are plans to control much more in the future, but I just want it up and running for now. Anyways, I have been having a problem with my sps for a few weeks (browning out / bleaching) and I have been...

    ID Please

    Can someone identify this for me? The picture is kinda bad but it was orange and brown. I did not see any legs, but it did have some tentical looking things on the front (left side). You can zoom in on the picture and kinda see them.

    Full Spectrum LEDs

    Ok...maybe not full spectrum, but closer... I am in the process of building some DIY "full spectrum" LED lights that will go over my 40 breeder (36x17x18 LxWxH). I am hoping for some feedback from some LED gurus on the two plans below. My goal is to be able to house any type of coral while also...

    RO/DI working correctly?

    I have an Air Water & Ice Typhoon RO/DI unit. I have had it since day one about a 1.5-2 years ago. Originally when I purchased it, I would fill up a 35 gallon tub and keep it filled... After about a year or so the TDS started increasing.. When it reached 5-10 TDS I looked into replacing the...

    Boiling Rock?

    I acquired a 5 gallon bucket full of rock from a friend. It was in his tank for a few years until he quit running his saltwater aquarium about a year ago. Since then, the bucket has been sitting in his garage. I want to use this rock, but I don't know if I should boil it or just let it sit in RO...

    Anyone seen this?

    About half a year ago I purchased a green stylo off marsh. If you notice in the picture below it isn't really green... It is purple with green tips (picture makes it look brownish). When I purchased it, it was 100% green. I tried to find others like it online but can't. I know it is very typical...

    Plastic Jugs

    Are plastic jugs harmful for aquariums? I found a 1 gallon drinking jug at walmart that would work perfect for my dosing pump. It is not BPA free and there is absolutely nothing special about it other than it fits in the space I need it to. It does not even say if it is food grade, but its...

    Brittle Star?

    I just got a coral from another Marsh member...before I did my dipping I saw this little guy (see picture). First off: Is this a brittle star? Second: Should I keep it or not? I read brittles can be OK, but more risky when they get bigger...Just want to know opinions.

    Vermetids

    Anyone know of a way to efficiently get rid of them? I read about cutting them and superglue, but it doesn't seem like that fully gets rid of them. They didn't really bother anything in my tank and rarely shot out webbing until I picked up a Dragon Goby. I guess with him stirring up the sand...

    Magnesium

    I have read different articles, but I want opinions. When trying to maintain Mag levels, is it better to use Magnesium Chloride / Sulfate or something like ESV B-Ionic Magnesium? I have read different articles, but I want opinions.

    Midas Blenny Growth

    I was wondering if someone would be able to help me identify two growths on my midas blenny. There is one on his dorsal and one on his pectoral fin. I just got this little guy from the fish store today, and I didn't notice anything before I got him home. However after catching him he seemed a...

    Aquarium Change

    Could you guys give me some advice on moving livestock from one aquarium to another? I am going from a 58 Gallon to a 40 breeder with a 20 gallon sump. What are the do's and don'ts? I am getting different sand, but I am not sure if I should just take the water from the 58 gallon or if I should...
