Just wondering how long it will take to kill off a coral if your forget to turn on a light?? Apparently one of the switches on my 6x54 watt fixture got switched last night. So when the timer turned the light on this morning only two of the actinics came on and the other four bulbs didn't turn...

So last night I got the Current AquaChef Auto feeder. After setting it all up I thought I had set it on the smallest amount; however I had it set the most amount off food. Obviously this dumped a ton of pellets into the tank. Some of the extra is now sump and some ended up sinking to the sand...

I recently purchased/hooked up a Current USA Nova Pro Exterme 6x54w fixture. The fixture came with 3 10k bulbs and 3 460nm bulbs. When I turned it on it is almost like a bright white. I would like to see the tank a little more of a darker blue; however, I do not want it too be too dark. I am...

So I just got home from vacation and found 4 little apitasias growing in the sump and the cycle is already complete. I guess I will need to get a peppermint shrimp or two (Anyone have one for sale??). I am not 100% sure they are apitasias because they weren't clear, they are more of a...

I do not have a controller or a chiller. Depending on the weather each day (basically how hot the house gets) I have seen the temerature as high as 79.9 on the Coralife thermometer and 78 on the digital heater display. I am thinking about possibly buying one of the lowest levels of controllers...

After setting up my tank a couple weeks ago I have discovered that I have two thermometers in my tank reading different temperaters. I have a viaaqua heater set at 75 and a corallife digital thermometer. They are both on opposite ends of the tank but the coralife digital thermometer...

Well I already threw it all into the sump... I did have a couple pieces set aside in the sump to possible throw into the display tank, and when I looked into the sump there it was. I pulled the one rock out and its drying. Hopefully nothing else pops up. I'm afraid now that the rubble is...

Would this be a better option sin ce my tank is just starting to cycle? I just put water into it earlier this week. The only thing in my tank right now is rock and water. Plus I don't see any on the peices I got

I bought some live rock rubble today, but after thinking about it I think I made a mistake. When the guy was pulling the rock out of the tank, I noticed a few anatomies kind of dark in color. Never seeing aptasia in person I asked the employees what it was. He told me it was apt asia, like it...

Looking to upgrade my freshwater tank to a 36 gallon acrylic. Looking for a bowfront with a colored back (Preferably black). Also I would prefer new on the tank so locations or stores to buy from would work too. I need to find a stand for the 36 gallon bowfront. The only requirement is it...

Anyone ever use this stuff (CaribSea South Seas Aquascaping Base Rock ). I'm getting ready to finally put water in my tank and I'm thinking about buying the 40 pound box of this stuff from marinedepot and throwing in about 20 pounds of live rock with it. Is this stuff pretty good to use or is...

I am interested in the drum. It may be too late but you pm box is full.

So I'm almost ready to setup my tank and I'm planning on buying about 85 gallons of water from Tropical reef in Rancho. I am just trying to figure out how to get the water home with out making 15 trips back and forth. Any suggestions are appreciated!

In the process of building my reef tank and the next big purchase I need to make is my light and live rock. I will need about 55-75lbs of rock. I wouldn't mine doing a combination of dry base rock and live rock. Looking for someone who is selling it and/or the best place to buy live rock...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to buy equipment? Which websites have the best prices and selection or what are your favorite stores? I have been to the tropical reef store off of Foothill in Rancho, but it seems like they don't have a very good selection of dry goods. The prices...

I will get in touch with toromp. but appearantly I cannot send a private message until after I have 5 posts.

I don't have a canopy so any lights I get need to be some sort of fixture.
