    LRS Reef Frenzy

    Does anyone know where you can buy LRS food in Northern NJ? Sea Level Aquarium doesn't carry it (only Rod's Foods).

    Sand Sifting Starfish

    I was worried about the star having enough food as my tank isn't fully mature. Now that I'm going fallow, I'm really concerned. Let me know if anyone wants him. I'm in Northern NJ. Would hate to see him starve.

    Ich :( - Need Help with Treatment Plan

    So it seems my blue tang has ich. I posted pictures on reef 2 reef and that seems to be the feedback. I posted this there as well, but wanted to get your opinions on the treatment plan. Let me know your thoughts/feedback... :( I think the only thing I can do at this point is remove all the...

    Nitrate Testing - Salifert

    Frustrating... when I look from the top down, it seems that my nitrates are 25 ppm. But when I look sideways, it not nearly dark enough to be 10 ppm (100 is the darkest and you divide by 10 if looking sideways). What kits do you all use for nitrates?may end up getting a Hanna.

    Scratch or Ich?

    Sorry for the crappy picture. He’s eating fine but has been wedged between rocks the last couple days. Not sure if it’s just scratches or ich. He’s swimming around and behaving normally other than wedging sideways in the one rock from time to time.

    Acan Pics Please

    So Acans must not have been a popular thing 15 or so years ago. Somehow I'm just now realizing how beautiful these acan gardens can be. And best of all, my crappy lighting is probably more than enough for them. Let's show off your acan pics so I can drool over the them and get inspired to...

    Royal Gramma Finally Feeling at Home

    This fish is so beautiful. She hid for 4-5 days, but has been swimming all over the tank today.

    Sand Sifting Starfish

    So the more research I am doing on these guys, the more I think it may have been a bad purchase. I love the idea of keeping the sand bed clean with the CUC. But my tank is only a couple months old and I’m guessing it’s going to starve. Wanted some second opinions before I decide what to do with him.

    Fun trip to LFS

    Besides the huge snails, also picked up a few more hermit crabs and a sandsifting starfish. For fish, we got a small royal gramma and a small timor wrasse. Both are hiding in the rock work and I can actually only spot one of them. Once the are acclimated to the tank I’ll get some pictures. Also...

    Plumbing Help

    Ball valve came in the mail today and I'm just waiting for my Home Depot order to be ready for pickup. Going to convert my current flex tubing to hard plumbing so I can reduce the return flow to the tank and kill the noise my dorso makes. Question - You aren't supposed to use primer on the...

    Cryptic Zone

    Does anyone know of, or use, a cryptic zone? Been doing some research on it and it seems there was a lot of discussion about it about five years ago, but then around 2018 everything stopped. I did find one thread on another forum that was recently picked back up and saw that GEO sells a cryptic...

    Fish/Coral Food

    I’ve been doing a lot of research on fish food and it seems even the good brand frozen mysis and brine shrimp cubes aren’t that nutritious. Saw BSR and other videos on making homemade fish food. Also saw that Rods Food can be a good alternative. What do you guys and gals do in terms of ensuring...

    Lighting - HELP!!!

    So I really screwed up with the lighting.... Knowing how picky and analytical I get over things (and that it puts me way over budget), my wife and I agreed to give a LFS a set budget(ish) and have him work on getting the gear we needed for our tank. I have to say I'm quite happy with...
