    Sargassum Angler compatability?

    Just found a Sargassum Angler at my LFS for a lot less than I've seen them go for online. I'm really tempted to go snag it. Would it be ok in my 65 gallon FOWLR with a small eel? Or would I be better off with it in its own tank? I've got a 20 long and a 29 in the garage I could have set up by...

    Free floating acan heads... What do do?

    Tonight I changed the angle on my return outlet to stir up some of the junk that has collected behind my rock., and much to my surprise, 3 or 4 heads of acan come floating up with the detritus and algae. No skeleton, just the fleshy polyps stuck to each other. Sort of a ball of acan. So what...

    Time for new bulbs... 2x150w MH and T5 actinics... Suggestions?

    It's time for me to replace my bulbs. I'd love to go Phoenix, but that's not in the budget right now... What do you guys recommend for MH bulbs that have that balance of growth and color pop, but won't break the bank? Also, any suggestions for T5 actinic bulbs?

    High nitrates... at my wit's end...

    My 72 bowfront has been up and running for about a year or so, and it's pissing me off... My nitrates consistently test at 80 ppm or above, using salifert nitrate test, confirmed my tests at my LFS. The tank is lightly stocked, I feed very lightly, I'm skimming aggressively (skimmer is rated for...

    Stocking suggestions for 65 gallon FOWLR with eel

    I'm starting a 65 gallon FOWLR tank, and so far the only fish I'm adding for sure is a "freshwater" snowflake eel that has been acclimated to full marine conditions. It's most like a Gymnothorax tile or similar species. So here's my question... What can I keep with this guy? I know my tank is...

    Inheriting 20+ lbs of live rock... suggestions?

    So, my buddy who got me into the hobby has realized that he doesn't have time for a reef tank right now. He's going to do lake Malawi cichlids for now, until he has the time to devote to the hobby again. He's breaking down his tank and giving me his live rock and what few softies he has left...

    Interest feeler: 65 half hex and 60 breeder

    Just trying to get a feel for interest, and maybe get some offers... I have a 65 gallon half hex acrylic tank with stand and hood, no lights or filtration, and a 60 gallin breeder, glass, with pre-drilled corner overflow... Anyone interested? What would be a fair asking price for these tanks?

    Just scored a free tank... what to do with it?

    A friend of mine called me today to see if I wanted a tank... He was helping someone move, and they were going to throw out a 65 gallon acrylic half hex aquarium with stand, lights, canister filter, and UV sterlizer. He thought I would want it, and naturally I said heck yes. So my question is...

    LPS IDs (faviidae?)

    Hi all, I've had these two corals for about a year. Both came in on a piece of live rock I paid way too much for, but I bought it for the corals, so in that sense it was a good deal. Both came in as single polyps, and both were about the size of a pencil eraser when I bought the rock. The two...

    Low budget/ghetto sump/fuge idea... Thoughts?

    My existing sump, an Aqua Clear wet/dry/trickle filter, is kinda small for my tank and what I want to do with it, and my flood tests leave me nervous... Water comes to within an inch of the top lip on the low side. I had an idea to remedy both these issues without spending a dime, but I wanted...

    Couple of questions... Tank move and zoanthids

    My first question has to do with my existing tank (20 long with 150w MH)and its current inhabitants. The tank is absolutely packed with corals... I can't add anything else shading a coral I already have. I have several colonies of zoanthids, some mushrooms, a xenia frag,several LPS, and I've...

    Hi all.

    I just stumbled across this site last night, and I'm impressed. Much more positive and friendly than some other reef forums I've found. My name is Sean, I'm 26 years old, married, and I've been in the hobby for about 2 years. My tank is a 20 gallon long, and I have a mix of zoanthids and LPS...
