How do you feed your Mysis? I have the cubes of frozen pe mysis. I only have a few fish, so I only use a small portion. When I slice pieces, they come off real small & break up in the water. The fish don't even register the smaller pieces. I feel like I'm wasting it. Is there a trick to this?

I will be moving my tank next month. I currently have caribsea special grade reef sand aragonite, but I'm open to new sand.

Purchased a Yasha a few weeks ago. He paired with the pistol shrimp but they kinda did there own thing. The other fish didn't bother him or anything. Last 2 days he was out of his hole laying in the back corner of the tank. Still alert & feeding like normal. Well, I came home from work today &...

I've been reading about it lately. Some say don't use it if you don't need it. Others say they use it all the time. I don't have much going on in my 50g yet. 5 fish, couple zoo's, leather, & frogspawn. I have some red slime/cyano, but nothing crazy. Water isn't the clearest. I don't have a...

I started looking through the WYSIWYG & I was drooling. I was talking to another member & he was down to place the order with me. I ordered online Thursday & Becky called me 5 minutes later. She verified everything & we set a ship date of Monday. We got 40% off, $25 off for over $150, & $15.99...

Little back story: I'm getting married in May & we're currently living in an apartment/condo. Our rent is basically a mortgage & our lease is up in June. We have the opportunity to live at my mothers for a few years to save money for a house. I just cycled my tank in December. 55g w/ 20g...

Do you have your refugium light on 24/7 or opposite schedule of your lights?

I had a tiny case of nudibranches(i saw two) & I wanted to dip a zoa just to be safe. The only thing is it's REALLY glued on. I tried to pry it off the rock with my hands but i broke a portion that it was on in half. Now that piece that I broke off is still be held together by the other half of...

Me & my fiance moved into a condo/apartment complex last May on the 2nd floor. A lady in her late 30's-40's lives below us. She leaves her TV on the WHOLE night. We wouldn't mind, but it's right above our bedroom. You can clearly hear the voices because it is that loud. We even sleep with a...

Nudibranches? I woke up early this morning when the lights came on & noticed these 2 guys. They glow bright orange under the blue LED's. All I have is 1 Zoa & 1 leather.

(I'm waiting for the new pump to come in, should be here by tomorrow or Monday) Back story: I bought this as my first skimmer back on 11/4/2011 from pacificeastaquaculture. I didn't run it until January of this year when I had my tank cycled. I was having problems with start up. The impeller...

He's been breathing pretty heavy for the last few days. It seems when he eats he looks like hes going to implode. (he got his lip cut by the pistol shrimp when I first introduced them on 1/23) He's been in my tank since 1/09 I also have 2 baby clowns & a melenarus wrasse that are doing fine...

When I turn my return off I'm getting a siphon. It doesn't fill my sump, but it does overflow my skimmer & I have to put the return nozzle down so it doesn't shoot water everywhere. I've read about check valves, but some are against it. Any simple solution so it doesn't siphon. Their is no pvc...

Hopefully I can make this somewhat interesting! (you can surely skip the introduction & go right to the pictures, lol) Last few years I've been to quite a few aquariums. I always wanted a saltwater tank, but never had the time, money, or place to have it. Last summer I was at the jenkinson's...

I excitedly picked up my Radion from Johnathan(Howze) yesterday afternoon(Thanks for picking it up!). I hung it up & plugged it into my APEX. My Apex is hooked up to an Out of Wall GFCI. The Radion kept tripping the GFCI. I unhooked the Apex and plugged the Radion by itself into the GFCI and it...
