I don't have a problem with phosphates but do have about a lb of gfo to share

Anyone looking for a small amount of chaeto- amount that would fit in a normal envelope? When I bought mine ( half cup ) it came in an envelope in wet newspaper, most of it turned gray, but I did get enough to seed my sump- just pm me- I'll pay postage mine may have pods but nothing else Chris

I know clowns and cardinals breed in home tanks, but has anyone been able to breed and raise anything else in home tanks? Excluding snails LOL

Maybe I'm out of place, just a newbie, but I've met some of you and heard that you used to have great get togethers- now that most of us are vaxed and things are opening up- isn't it time that I get to meet more of you- maybe you don't want to lol- so I'll stay home- but I'm sure you all miss...

All are beautiful fish- Have had the firefish for 8 months- just hides most of the time ( it's in a 13 gal ) The midas and falco are in a 30gal are in a 30 ga- had both for 3 monthsl- have different plans for that tank- Firefish $30 or trade, Midas, $60 or trade, Falco $30 or trade- pics if...

I never thought much about them, other then that they were a sign of a healthy tank. Lately I've found that they are big with introducing new fish to a tank- especially picky eaters. Some only eat pods- mandarins, my rainford gobys, but the yellow watchman and the clown goby's haven't taken to...

6? I bought this frag about a month ago with 3 heads- stayed open for a day or so and then closed up- I thought it was the flow or lighting- moved it around the tank every other or 3rd day- finally found a spot with less flow- and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but now there are...

Does anyone else have 'problems' finding the right place for your corals. I know where they are supposed to go- but I have very good flow throughout my tank. So finding the right place is sometimes a challenge- I often move my new frags 3, 4 or more time just to find the right place- I also have...

I found out that my tailspot blenny has a taste for blood- killed a springer damsel I added to the tank- am going to move it to the 40b- plan on just having Springer damsels in the 13g- I'll probably also move the firefish as well, since I'll most likely have to take most/all the rock out of the...

I have a 13gal Fluval Evo AIO. The design doesn't allow for growing chaeto. I set up a chamber in my 40b and like what it's doing ( along with all the pods ). I came up with an idea that seems to work. I bought a Aqua Masters hob filter ( 95gph ) $15, and a 7.5 submersible led light $ 12- took...

I'm a romantic at heart and keep trying to 'hook up' fish. Thought I could add a second Springer to my nano- also has a tailspot blenny, a firefish and a sharknose goby- all get along fine- the 2 Springers hit it off right away, but the new guy had to face off with the tailspot at it's cave- i...

I had a chamber set up for chaeto in my sump ( second in line) flow up after media. I guess I didn't have enough 'junk' at first- my 1/2 cup of chaeto became a nickel size piece and was getting sucked into the return - I moved it to the overflow chamber and the chaeto is now growing- I have a...

After jumping back in with a 13 gal aio and falling back in love with reefing I resurrected a 30 gal hex and did my own aio- using my own rock along with live and a bare bottom- things were good at first- flow was hard to direct and lighting was also was a problem. But what made me finally...

I bought this 12 watt light on amazon for under $30 for growing Chaeto and then came across this other one on aliexpress for under $2- the chinese one is 120v- the other converts to to 12v- I'll have to be careful mounting the 120v one, and I had to to solder it myself- there are 10/20/50w...

Although I'm not crazy about the look of his tanks, I've had good luck and decent prices on much at Adam's Pet Safari in Chester- he has a marine betta in a tank for almost 6 months if someone is looking for one

I got a small yellow watchman and decided not to pair it with a pistol shrimp- what are the odds that if I add another to my 40B that they'll pair up.

I'm sure many of you know this, but I thought I'd post anyway. You don't need any special equipment to hatch brine shrimp. I hang a plastic cup on my tank with water at .019- tank water is 87- overhead lights are enough- no aeration needed- mine hatch in 24-30 hrs- I then put the cup close to a...

There's so much, wrong fish, wrong lights, going cheap on important stuff. I'll start with my first tank- a 13 gal AiO- after spending months waiting and researching about corals/fish I let a guy at the LFS -( someplace in Pinebrook) talk me into a neon dottyback and a Springer damsel as great...

I'm sure nobody views their tanks with all blue lights- I only do it for a bit in the morning and just before lights out. Is it the camera or one just wanting to show how great a piece looks under all blue. But most pics I see are saturated with blue light. If I'm going to put something in my...

I love the depth that a 40b has- my 30g is frustrating- I'm working on filling out the scape with corals- I have a vivaspectra 165w ( not really- the black box equivalent ) I have all the usual suspects- some assorted zoas, kenya tree, shrooms ( ricordia )and I've been placing them mostly on...
