    8 Gallon Nano w/halide - too much lighting???

    Hey all, My bigger tank is beautiful, growing like crazy & now I want to get a nano. SO, I found a great deal on CL for a 8 gallon nano with everything and the lighting is a 70watt metal halide for $100. I am used to having more lighting than I need as my 55 gallon has quite a bit more than I...

    Ordering Corals Online...

    Hey, I want to buy a bunch of live corals online and wanted some advice about where to buy, who has the best selection/prices and experiences people have had personally. I have never bought anything and had it shipped before. I am looking for unusual soft corals and some high end LPS. Not...

    What is this?

    I looked it up and that's exactly what they are. My water specs are all great, I don't think I'm over feeding but maybe... I feed every night switching back and forth from frozen to pellets. I feed a liquid reef food a couple times a week and I dose with c-balance daily. My tank is 55 gallons...

    What is this?

    OK, so I don't have a picture but I figure it is pretty common and someone can ID it based on my description. Tiny little pink & purple hard tube things coming off of my rock. These are fairly new but spreading fast. They are not in colonies, they are spread out in different areas. I squirted...

    Bright Colored Toadstool Leathers

    Thats the color it was when I got it... kinda peach/orange. It does not look as bright with the picture my cell phone took but it is really pretty. I'm really hoping it is not dyed! I would love for it to be healthy & stay this color even after fragging!

    Bright Colored Toadstool Leathers

    Still waiting for it to get happy and polyp up all the way so I can get a good pic. It started to open up yesterday and then one of my turbos came and knocked it into the sand and it shriveled up like a fist again. This morning it looks happy in it's new spot & starting to open again. Will post...

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    Oh, that is what I read, it takes care of bryopsis. I really should get my algae checked by someone to see what it is really. I know bryopsis is supposed to look like ferns up close but mine does not. I also know bryopsis can grow in mats which mine does. Anyways. I will pull a bit and bring it...

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    I have been battling hair algae for a while too (bought rock from a guys tank and never saw the stuff till later). I have a Tang that picks at it occasionally, turbo snails that mow through it (again occasionally) a lettuce slug that won't touch it, a urchin that won't touch it... I do a 10%...

    OMG Moments of Stupidity...

    LOL, I'm so glad I started this thread! I have not only laughed at the stories but learned a thing or two as well! I have another story that I forgot about... I had my first tank which was a 55 gallon and wanted to upgrade to a bigger tank so I got a tank double the size drilled with an...

    OMG Moments of Stupidity...

    So, since I started the thread, I'll be the first to start :) My moment of stupidity is as follows... A few weeks ago my 9yr old daughter woke up in the middle of the night sick and instead of heading for the bathroom she walked down the hallway into the living room, throwing up all over the...

    OMG Moments of Stupidity...

    Well, after reading some stories on King_Neptune's thread I thought it would be fun AND educational to have a thread that tells of all the stupid things we have done to either cause our tanks to crash or almost/could have crashed... Hopefully this will give us a chance to feel better about some...

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    Oooh, I'm so glad your tank was ok! I had a heater go out about a month after I set my tank up. At that point I was all over the tank checking levels daily. I caught it as soon as it dropped. Could have been a mess! I DID however make a BIG mistake the other night that could have cost me my...

    Bright Colored Toadstool Leathers

    Thanks! I feel better for now. I have to wait until it opens back up & is happy (it is closed up like a fist right now). I got a toadstool at the Barrier Reef Sale that took 2 weeks to "get happy". Hopefully this one one take quite as long... as soon as it does I will take some pics and put them...

    Bright Colored Toadstool Leathers

    Oh well crap, I paid $85 for a Dyed Toad Stool??? I feel so stupid! Does anyone have any experience with them & what will happen? Will it die? Will it live & just end up turning back to it's original color? It is a really nice big one, looked to be perfectly healthy... I will take pictures of it...

    Bright Colored Toadstool Leathers

    Hey everyone. I was shopping around today & ended up at King's Discus in Downtown Seattle (China Town) & saw some of the most amazing colored soft corals/leathers. Not only did they have some of the prettiest Elegance Corals & gonaporas I have ever seen but they had toad stool leathers in bright...
