So I was following another thread on another section of this forum and it got me thinking. Let me preface this. My tank is clean. There are no hair algae problems, the sand bed is clean, the water is clear. My tank is pretty much automated on my Apex and my maintenance routine is fairly...

So I bought a Trachyphllia when I started my tank several months ago. It was always "Fully" inflated, even when I had to Fallow my tank after a Marine Velvet outbreak. Over the past few weeks, the Trachyphllia seems to have drawn down tightly, which by the way makes the coloration intense...

Found this little guy wandering around on a colony of acropora. Anyone have an idea what this might be or if I should be concerned? Thanks in advance, Mike Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

O.K., I'm not new to the game, but my Riterri keeps moving. For months it stayed put in the center middle of the tank and is thriving. A couple of weeks ago it started moving higher and ended up in the upper left hand, highest point of the tank and stayed put for a few days. Now it's moving...

I have a spreadsheet outlining the fish I would like to add to my aquarium. I have columns for the fish of course, their sizes, reef compatibility and special considerations. That list has changed significantly throughout the last year and as I have recovered from a Marine Velvet Outbreak...

After a Velvet outbreak which rapidly killed off ALL of my fish, I left my tank fallow for almost six weeks. In the meantime, I've QT'd some new inhabitants which have gradually been added to the tank. I added two awesome "Phantom" clowns which have paired up and taken up residence in my...

I visited my local fish store the other day and noticed that there selection has dwindled down noticeaby. They still have some nice stuff, but as I was looking I noticed bubble algae all over the place in their coral tanks. It was on the egg crate, it was on plugs, it was visible on some of...

Hey there gents! So since my Marine Velvet Outbreak, my tank has been fallow for a few weeks. It has recovered from an algae outbreak, and currently looks pretty darn good. The inverts and few pieces of LPS that I have are all doing fine and showing growth. I decided to do a little...

Hey, I tried some RowaPhos and noticed something interesting over my last few water tests. When I test for phosphates I check my display tank and then the output of my GFO reactor, or in this case Rowa phos. Tonight's reading in the DT was .11 (USING A HANNA CHECKER) and at the output of the...

Hey Guys, So long story short, my tank was overrun with ICH. No survivors and I lost approximately 11 fish in my 120 gallon tank. I'll be leaving it fish-less for the next six weeks and am hoping to dial in my water in the meantime. Today's measurements after the last fish death. Salinity...

Anyone know of any local stores in the O.C. who sell 1/8" ID - 1/4" OD tubing for the GHL Doser. I have all the fixings to get my doser up and running, but unfortunately have the wrong tubing. It does not fit with my Aquamaxx Container. Thanks so much for any advice. I'd like to be able to run...

Hi Everyone. I'm looking for a new all in one GHL dosing pump with 3 heads. Was hoping that one of our great members might be able to help me out with a good deal. Have cash in hand. Thanks so much, Mike Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4

So I cleaned my tank and did my water change today. While I was rinsing out the filter sponge I got to thinking. The filter sponge is convenient and reusable but does it do as good as job as filter floss? I replaced the sponge with some floss to give it a try for a couple of days. What do you...

Hey everyone, I've successfully put together my 120 gallon build and am religiously testing my water. So far so good, but I know down the road I will want to have a doser to add needed elements slowly and spread out through the day. I've been absolutely fortunate to be able to purchase higher...

I recently participated in an online "Ebay" auction by Aqua SD. Beautiful pieces and even better prices. There was a minor issue with shipping my package, so I contacted them both through the forum and Ebay website. This was my first online purchase of frags, so I was a little worried. As...

Hey Everyone, When I had a smaller tank, I had a beautiful purple Riterri Anemone which grew too large for the small tank. I now have a 120 gallon DT and would like to find another purple Ritteri. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone have one for sale, or know of a...

Long Story Short! Water was spilled on one of my two, Radion Gen2 Transfomers and it stopped working. I've opened it up and dried it out. It wasn't horribly wet, and I don't see any obvious problems on the board. I'm hoping, wishing, begging that it will just be the fuse. The fuse does not...

Another Great Experience! I have not been shy about OCReefMadness and his great customer service... not to mention the several GREAT deals he has provided for me! I just wanted to say thank you again for his outstanding customer service. I ordered a 120 gallon rimless CAD Lights from Tony and...

I purchased some great live rock from a member of this site and have had it waiting in two trashcans continuing to cure until the arrival of my tank next week. Power heads, no heaters in the cans. No problems whatsoever with the rock. No signs of pests or algae, water is clear with no odor. No...
