    Old live rock...

    I have about 20lbs of old live rock from my old tank. It's been in a sealed plastic container for about 2 yrs. It doesn't smell bad at all. I've asked some people from different fish places if I can still use it in my reef tank. Some say yes bcuz it's already cured and others say no bcuz it...

    Very low Ca

    I've let my reef tank slide and basically I'm starting all over. For the past 2 mos. or so I've been using Tropic Marine Bio-calcium and Kent Marine Liquid Reactore. Did Tropic Marine first and then Kent Marine. Which is better? I've seen no difference. Is there something better? Today, I...

    out of control

    yllw tail tang (hippo)

    I've had this tang for about 2-3 wks. He barely eats, maybe one or two nibbles. He watches the food go by him and sometimes follows it but thats it. He is very thin yet he swims around the tank. Should I worry that he will eventually die? What else can I do? Also, he barely nibbles on...
