I just installed a 48" ecoxotic magenta/blue stunner thinking it would be good for an actinic look at night, but unfortunately it is nothing like what I was expecting. Way too magenta, almost no visible blue. Does anyone know another color they make or led strip that would achieve what I'm...

I was a member here a while back, probably 5 or 6 years ago. I got rid of my tank after having a daughter and starting a business. While I haven't had a tank in half a decade, My company has been taking care of close to 200 other aquariums throughout NJ and NY. Anyway, after buying a house, I...

Anyone heading to Orlando?

Does anyone know any places hiring part time in Central NJ? It is tough to find a job these days!

Why does my KH always go down quickly when my Ca and Magnesium are constantly staying 420 ppm and 1350? Two weeks ago I brought my KH up to 10 dkh. I left it for a little bit to see what would happen in a week or so. I tested it today, the Ca and Magnesium are the same as 2 weeks ago, but the KH...

Is there a difference between bali green slimer and regular green slimer? Are they one in the same?

For anyone who doesn't know, a watershed is a body of water that your regions ground water drains to. For instance I live in Green Brook, and my water drains to the Raritan River. This water is the water that then goes to treatment facilities and then to my house. To check the quality of your...

I bought the 2 part mix from BRS. I'm adding 20 ml of Ca and 20 ml of alk daily. Everywhere I look I see that it should be added slowly and separately, however nowhere does it tell me how slowly or how separately. I pour each one in over the course of maybe 5 minutes, and I do one immediately...

Due to evaporation my salinity was way too high (2.035 ppm). Noticing this, I did two separate 5 gallon water changes adding fresh RO/DI water (10 gallons total). The water changes have brought the salinity down to 2.030, and I plan on changing more over the course of the week to get it down to...

I believe it was introduced about a month ago. I filled up a bucket for a water change, and I guess the bucket had a little water in it from a previous water change. I didn't realize this, but when I dumped the water in the tank, all of a sudden I saw that this type of algae, or whatever it is...

Feng just got a huge shipment of fish in. Angels, Wrasse (Lunar, Six Line, Bi Color). Clowns, and a bunch of others. REALLY BEAUTIFUL..you have to go and see. Also 2 octopus (one being a blue ring).

My Odysea lights caught on fire last night, thank god I was home. I need new lights asap. I'm going with all T5s rather than the hqi again. Based on previous advice, to a similar question, I've narrowed it down. However, I want to see which one you guys think I should go with. I'm looking at TEK...

Just upgraded to a 75 gallon. <img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs087.snc1/4611_1068388436020_1415351739_30148537_7710663_n.jpg">

I was thinking a section for monthly full tank shots would be a good idea. I love reading the tale of the tanks, but sometimes I just want to see long term progress in the form of photos. I find myself clicking page after page to do so, which is a pain in the neck, and the reason I'm bringing...

Ocean Gallery II sells cleanup crew packages. I'm looking at the 55 gallon package, and I'm wondering if it's a little over kill, both price wise as well as livestock wise. What do you guys think? http://www.oceangalleryii.com/livestock/index.php?cPath=5_26&osCsid=79ea69b60328f60e5fdf1f78574353cc

I think most of us know, or have at least heard of the toxins carried by zoas, but while searching for propagation techniques, I came across this very sad post. As an animal lover, I'm really going to have to start being much more caregul when handling them...

So I broke down my nano and filled up my new 56 gallon about two weeks ago. I also have a 20 gallon sump. To the display, I added live sand, a bunch of live rock from the nano as well as about 20 pounds of new rock. For light, I have 2 96 watt PC 50/50s, and a 250 watt hqi. The water flow...

The other day I bought the Odyssea lights, 2x96watt PC, and the 250 watt Hqi combo. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best combo of bulbs...I'm going to be doing sps, lps, and some softies..Please Help!!

So I'm a big fan of the fighting conch, and I've always wanted one, and I'm wondering if my 55 gallon tank is adequate? Should I wait a bit until my tanks a little more broken in?
