Hi all,
I refilled my 60G for one last rinse after cleaning it to remove the oily dried smelly film from everything after my stealth pro broke, and noticed these little hairline cracks in the silicone where the corners meet. They are very tiny but clumped together but stretch up the height of...
Over the weekend my Marineland Stealth Pro cracked (see the thread under "emergencies"). Ultimately killed my entire setup. Called Marineland and they told me the heater contains; copper, nickle, magnesium oxide, and some type of epoxy. I pulled all my rock and rinsing it multiple times in R/O...

Starting to think about how I will paint the background on my new 60G. I have looked at past postings on the subject but none really answer my question. Best application; Spray, Roll, Brush? Best kind of paint for each application? And where to get it?
Thanks for responses in advance!
I got a new 60 gallon tank for Christmas to my surprise since I didn't even put it on my list and I am starting to mull over different ideas on how I will set this one up. There will be fish, live rock, and some soft corals to start off with. Right now I have a basic HOB filter that works fine...
I got a new 60 gallon tank for Christmas to my surprise since I didn't even put it on my list and I am starting to mull over different ideas on how I will set this one up. One big decision is substrate. Right now I have crushed coral in my 30 G. I like it, but it turns the color of coraline...
Anyone have any feelings on this type of hang on back canister filter? It also comes with a BIO wheel attachment (optional). I have a 30g reef with a few fish. Good, bad? Does anyone have it now? How big is it?
Old Salty -
30 gallon. I have 1 Clown and 1 Halfblack Angel and whenever I put in a new fish, the clown attacks first and then the Angel joins in, eventually ending in death (within 12 hours) for any new addition. What do I do? I want to add more fish but cannot. I was thinking about getting rid of the...
I have 2 kinds of xenia, 1 green star polyp, 1 leather finger coral, 8 colt corals, and 1 mushroom. All seem to be doing great but the xenia. For months my one xenia would fully open and the stalks were nice and plump. Now it seems most of the stalks on one of bunches is always looking shrunk...
HI,
I was looking for an all in one coral supplement so I didn't have to buy 20 different bottles of stuff and I came across MICROBE LIFT's ALL-IN-ONE. I followed the directions for my tank (29 gallon / halved the dosage) 2-4 capfulls per 50 gallons, 1-2 times per week. After about a week and a...
Hi All,
Looking for the best pygmy angel for a 30 gallon, 25lbs live rock, colt coral, leather finger coral, xenia, mushroom, 2 clowns. I have my picks = Bi-Color, halfblack, Bluefin/Whitetail, Multi-Color, Flameback, Woodhead. Also take into account a price range between $30 to $50 bucks.
29 gallon FOWLR - 1 more fish - What should it be?
I have about 20+ lbs of live rock, 4 small Blue/Green Chromis and 2 False Clowns. All are doing well. I am looking to add 1 more fish but it's got to be beginner friendly. This fish will be the centerpiece of the tank. Something nicely colored...
I need answers! 4 month old 29 gallon FOWLR (4 chromis), PH 8.4, Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, Ammonia 0, Phosphates 0. Why do I have this red slime, feathery, fast multiplying algae? I do weekly water changes with R/O water and a monthly big water change. Changed out light to a 9360k, rearranged my...
Ok, OK, I think I made a mistake. I started a saltwater tank in late september and all is well. 29 gallon, 2 blue/green chromis, some turbo snails, and some blue legged hermit crabs. HOB and Undergravel filter. Tests all good. I do water changes and clean the gravel but now I think I want to...
