    Would you buy a leaking tank?

    My first reef tank was a 46G bowfront I got for free and it was basically garbage. No prior experience with silicone or really any DIY stuff like that, and first try I got it just fine and no leaks until I shut it down over a year later since I got a bigger tank. I would say go for it. Even if...

    Looking for some cheap rock

    I live in Tinton Falls if the above deal doesn’t work out. Have around 25 pounds of dry rock that was previously used on my old tank so I’d recommend you cure it in a separate container for a bit before it goes in the main tank so that if any phosphates got stuck behind they don’t leech out...

    I got one in the chamber

    Turn off your return pump, drop a siphon for water changes into it, get the water as low as you can get it and then use a net to scoop him out. My chromis and cleaner shrimp like to take trips over the waterfall during the night when they’re asleep so I’ve done this quite a few times and...

    Foxface and blue throat trigger

    It’s the same thing as Fiji, just different name. Like blue tang, hippo tang, regal tang, pacific blue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Foxface and blue throat trigger

    I have a bicolor foxface in my home tank and have never had a problem with my pretty good variety of corals. No experience but from what I hear, blue jaw triggers are one of the best for reef tanks and like said above usually are okay with snails but shrimp, especially decorative ones, not so...

    How to get a Tang to eat from a veggie clip

    See if it goes after the nori when you drop a small piece in during feeding time. I also agree the best way is for them to watch another fish eat from the clip first, or else it’s pretty much up to chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    UV Sterilizer DEAL!!! Still available if posted

    Can you hold the MP10 for me though? I can wait until the tank is empty but would like to claim it now if possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think I’ll take the MP10 as of now but obviously has to wait until tank is shut down. Please keep me updated :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    pH Spike (8.5)

    Had a tiny alk spike but nothing major.. I was a little low anyway so the slight overdose was probably good, got me back to 8.1 which is just where I like it at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    pH Spike (8.5)

    I knew it would, but was worried that the temporary spike that high could be problematic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    pH Spike (8.5)

    I made a mistake while pouring out my alk dose and my pH jumped up from 8.2 to just under 8.5. I would assume my alk jumped as well but I am about to leave and just saw my controller ph monitor showing the high reading, but I will check with my hanna kit once I come back home. All of my corals...

    what to add next?

    Why not do a trio of anthias? Bartletts or carberryi are beautiful and some of the easier anthias. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nobody else showed signs of this and he finished prazi treatment about a week earlier for flukes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    For sure... I really don’t know how he’s doing it and has shown no improvement in terms of swimming properly and still has no interest in food. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Calcium, alkalinity, Confused??

    You may not be dosing as a regular routine. If you have a lot of stony corals you may have to in order to keep up with their growth and the best way to do so is measure your levels each day before you dose in order to keep them in the proper ranges. However if your tank isn’t full of lots of SPS...

    Dying Lineatus Wrasse

    Didn’t update when it happened, but a while ago he slipped under a crack in the sump into a pitch black section wit nothing there. Yesterday I use a waterproof flexible camera the width of a pen to see in there and make sure he didn’t die. After his disappearance the other day, a few minutes he...

    Dying Lineatus Wrasse

    He’s hanging in there still. I have a delayed opening for school today so had some extra time to watch him this morning. The pictures are less than ideal since it’s very hard to get a good shot in the sump, especially since I don’t clean the glass. He still won’t eat, but I’m glad to see he’s...
