When my clean up crew order came the other day it included a coral banded shrimp. Looking it up it said it was reef safe but am starting to have my doubts. Came home last night to find him sitting there on a rock with something small and glowing in his mouth area. When I got a closer look it...

I ordered some fish from this site a few days ago. They arrived this evening. 4/7 fish were dead, the other 3 were barely breathing and on the verge of kicking the bucket themselves. I'll start at the beginning though. Knew my fish order was shipped yesterday, to arrive today, so I checked with...

I've been battling a bout of hair algae for the last 2 months give or take. I check my water 3x per week and as per other thread things seem fine on that front. So today I went to pick up some r/o from my somewhat LFS. But beforehand stopped at the other LFS down the street from them and...

Thanks for looking. Am looking to buy a DSLR camera for my wife for x-mas this year but really have no clue what I am looking for. I hope to spend under $1000 for a great setup if that is possible and was looking for a few names and model numbers to look at. Then from there I guess I would...

So in my new 92 gal corner build I was thinking about my chiller. I currently have a 1/4 hp polar bear on my 54corner and I am not too impressed with its cooling capacity. Its okay but just doesnt have the temp pull down capacity I am looking for and am sure it is not capable of handling a...

I was cleaning out the tank I just got and noticed that when I was draining the tank the water level partitioned off by the corner overflow was not draining. The front removable black faceplate has a grate like opening at the top and another grate like opening at the bottom. However the part...

I just got a set of power compact lighting in a tank setup i purchased. I wasnt planning on using the light myself but was gonna offload it to recoup some of my purchase price. It looked good when I got it but when i got it home I found out it had a few issues that would prevent me from selling...

The previous owner said she had killed about $1000 worth of coral and livestock in the tank...

How much live sand would you use in a 65gal tank. I am in the process of upgrading from a 54 corner to a 65 gal reef ready(3ft long version) It will start out as a fish only setup. May eventually add a few corals.
