After seeing the thread started by @Mark_C on how his SPS started dying with increased tank temps....it got me thinking. I have seen many reefers have this issue when their tanks reach temps 80-84 degrees, but is it different then in nature? It seems that once our tanks reach anything over 80...

In all the years i have been doing this...I have never seen anything lile this. I'm in the middle of a water change. I mixed up the new water just like I always do...I emptied the tank and when I walked back over to the bucket of new water it has white speks floating on the surface of the water...

I'm not a huge fisherman, but I enjoy it. I inherited a cheap 2-piece rod from my mother-in-law. It was probably bought at Walmart haha. The pole is ok for fun lighter tackle fishing, but the spinning reel on it is toast. Looking for a suggestion on a cheaper replacement reel for use in...

I have a pair of mated Oscellaris Clowns. They have to go. They are killing my Maldivian Firefish. Pick up in 07850.

I know I asked this many many years ago when I first started, but I don't remember the answer. Should an RO Unit be setup before or after a water softener? I'm thinking after as the resin in the softener takes out most of the heavy metals and contaminants and then the RO will do the rest for...

This is a very interesting article on a new procedure to grow and transplant Elkhorn coral to the world's reefs. Instead of fragging and growing in a nursery, they collect the gametes and let them grow "naturally" which allows new DNA strains. Artificial Insemination for Coral Reefs • Scuba...

I need assistance....I'm replacing a broken light switch and the wires are not color coded. Both wires coming from the wall are black. The old switch also had 2 black wires. The new switch is red and black. I installed it one way and it worked. Then I installed it the other and it also worked...

I've been out of the game for a while and not keeping track of the ongoing developments with equipment. In the past I used 2 MP40's on a 180. Now I see a lot of people going to the Gyre. I probably see about a 50/50 split. So what are the pros and cons of each for a 180? Is one better than...

Looking to buy an MP10. Would love the new QD version, but trying to save some green. Thanks!

So I have ben having an algae issue for a couple months now. It all tarted when I added my CUC from a sponsor. I noticed this algae growing on their shells. I would remove them and scrape off the algae...rinse them and put them back. Then it started on the rocks and then the sand. I have...

Hey all.... I'm headed to LBI for a few days next weekend. I was thinking about renting a boat to do some crabbing and fishing in the bay. Anyone have any recommendations on locations in the bay for the best crabbing and fishing? I'd also be interested in hearing about spots that I don't...

Selling my 180 Gallon AGA Tank & Stand. The tank is brand new! It has never had water in it and still has the AGA sticker on it. I will include the AGA 3 door Stand I have for it. The stand was just completely reinforced by JCurry. Only thing with the stand is that the hinges on one door...

I'm looking to buy a used MP10es. I'm not looking to spend $150+ on it as they have dropped in price brand new to $175 with the introduction of the Quiet Drive pumps. Message me if you have one that you are looking to get rid of. Thanks!

I have the 5 stage Typhoon RODI from Air Water Ice. Do I have to use their replacement filters and DI Resin? Or are there others I can use?

I'm back! For those of you that know...I have been without a tank for over 2 years now. I had 2 tanks spring leaks, then all my fish died while setting up the 3rd tank. Since I don't live where my tank is any longer I decided not to set it up, but I have been going through withdrawals. Well...

I'm really tired of not having a tank! I saw the Ecoxotic Eco Pico LED tank http://www.ecoxotic.com/eco-pico-reef.html What can I keep in a 5 gallon tank?

Hey everyone...I just got back from paradise on Saturday afternoon! For those of you that don't know...I got married on October 24th. We then went to the Maldives for our honeymoon! When all of the resorts and advertisements say that the Maldives is the last real paradise on Earth....it is so...

Hey guys...does anyone have any info on the Coral Restoration Foundation? In lieu of favors at the wedding, we will be making a donation to 1 or 2 charities/non-profits. As most of you know...we are both avid divers so repairing coral reefs is a big thing for use in that regard as well as my...
