I finally hooked up the controller. I went into custom map function and set lighting and timing. Past two weeks I assumed the lighting was cycling. But I realized today it’s not. It doesn’t change at all. Is there a trick to having the lights cycle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all Looks like the date to move the tank is next weekend. Saturday or Sunday. I'm hoping I can get a few of you to help me. The move should not be too bad. I have a plan for the water but could use advice with the live stock. As to the tank , after emptying the water, rock and fish...

So last weekend I picked up a 16" long snowflake eel from fellow club member. At the time my biggest issue at the time was I had no lid. I solved that by making a few glass lids. In went the eel. Two days in a row the eel seemed well acclimated but was not eating Day three (Tuesday) I went to...

Hi all. Picked up food this morning at ACC. They have a bunch of Hawaii fish including 2 Achilles Tangs. It's one of the fish on my list. And now with Hawaii closing down for ,at best, a few years, may be my only shot at having the fish. I was told the Powder blue and the Achilles will...

One of them has gotten itself stuck in my main drain pipe I tried grabbing his shell with pliers. But all I did was brake a piece off. The pvc is glued at the elbow and at the bulkhead. Thoughts??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered from reef cleaners. A bunch of snails and hermits. Included were 3 fighting chonchs. Huge snails. But the real surprise was three gigantic hermit crabs. Theses things are scary creepy things. I'm not sure my tank is big enough for these things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all I've had this fish for 4 months. Is happy and eats well I noticed a few weeks ago that his mouth looked funny with a prominent whiteness on inside top lip Any thoughts? Do they all look like this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. Wanted to get your thoughts. I've had this guy for ~4 months. In this time I've not seen him eat. But he's still alive I'd be less concerned if I thought he was move social / active in the tank but his behavior has him on one end of the tank facing the same way swimming against the...

Hi all. It's been ~ 6 months since I started the set up of my tank. Happy to say everything is ruining well. I lost a few fish, but only one notable, that angel that had ich and flukes. Everyone else including my first fish, the clown are all happy healthy and growing. Water changes are...

Hi all. I've been good and have not added any fish and have slowed water changes to once a week All fish have been health and eating. Today I noticed my angel has cloudy puffy eyes. Thoughts. No other fish have the condition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I am looking at my lighting solution this week. I have a long shallow tank. right now I am FOWLR but do plan on adding some corals short term with a lot of corals long term. I like the look of mini pendant lights. I figure 5 will suffice. I have been unable to find a mini...

Hi all, Thought I would start a thread to document my tank. A bit of back ground. I started saltwater 4 years ago with a 14g Biocube. I wasn't the best with maintenance. But managed to keep up enough. Last January I was up late, as sometimes happens, and decided my nano was not large...
