Hi everyone....it's been awhile since I have visited the forums :? Busy summer :) I am thinking about how to get my 9 foot tank water going ( http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91376 ). I still have to choose lights and get the sump pump, but thought I might be able to start tank...

I have had great success with putting 10 peppermint shrimp in my 30 gallon tank and seeing large aiptasia (glass anemones) DISAPPEAR. This is after taking advice in these forums on how to deal with this nuisance. I also have my large hermit crabs (the 3 that have taken over large mexican turbo...

This is the official :roll: thread for following the build of my 9 foot tank that arrived January 30, 2007. I will continue to post many pictures in the Members' Tank Specifications area in this thread: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91376 This thread will probably be used to draw...

I am wondering if anyone would be interested in having me post pictures and details about the 9'x2'x30" tank finally arrived here. I'll be setting it on its stand this week, and would be able to start a thread over in the Members Tank Specifications area. If I get enough interest here I'll keep...

I have heard that overfeeding can cause problems. Maybe I have experienced these problems and have not realized that they were caused by overfeeding. I have heard 1 flake per fish from the local fish store. I have seen "as much as the fish can devour in 3 minutes" on lots of perpared foods...

I noticed this growth under the part of my favites coral that suspended in open water like a coral shelf. Could it be two sponges growing there? Will they harm the favites coral growing on the top side?

I currently have a 50/50 bulb in my original All Glass aquarium hood as a replacement bulb (50% actinic). I would like to have something a little more like the metal halide lighting in my 120 gallon tank, so that when I move corals into the 30 gallon tank or even just live rock, growth will...

Now that the tank is ordered, they are about to build it and want final confirmation on any holes to be cut, so I have a second chance to make up my (darn?) mind. I don't think I want to go for the noise of a surge bucket (but could add it later if desired) so I am going for a second round on...

The company making a 9 foot (x 2' x 30" high) aquarium is getting ready to install the two overflows in the back corners. Since my sump location will be downstairs from the tank, they are recommending 1.5" return holes (one in each overflow) and 2" drain holes (one in each overflow) figuring I...

I caught the kitten pawing at the the fish in the tank, so I thought you might like the photo. :) I posted a larger image of this picture over here in the tank specifications forum in case you want to look more closely into my tank: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... 28#1109128

Alright, I am new here. But I just had to ask (didn't I) what the term {squat} describes under certain (typically venerable) reefs.org members' names. I won't try to guess.

Just curious. It is gone now. This tang is a good poser so it was easy to get a shot along with an extreme close up 8O Sorry for the large image, but I wanted to provide the greatest amount of detail in the photo I could.

LiveAquaria.com says "The Flame Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles". The only soft coral I have is: Pipe Organ polyp I mostly have Large Polyp Stony Corals in the tank: Candy Cane (Caulastrea furcata) Elegance (Catalaphyllia jardinei)...

Here is a picture of the Regal Blue Tang already in my 120 gallon reef tank: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=91717 There is a smaller (3 inch) yellow tang in there too, and they both get along fine. I would love to add a Powder Blue tang (there is a nice big one that would match...

8-16-2006 snapshot of my aquarium. It is a 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot tank All-Glass aquarium circa 1995 (only finally filled it in late 2002). All-Glass: http://www.all-glass.com/ Two 400W Metal Halides (Blueline pendants and bulbs, 10K Superwhite and 10+K (14K equivalent)) Blueline...

I was thinking about getting a drop in chiller instead of an inline chiller since you can scrub that drop in coil if you want to. I know the in line chillers are usually guaranteed for life, but I like to be able to get the cooling area cleaned off in case it gets a bit encrusted. Is inline...

I have heard that Oceanic tanks have low iron glass like Starphire glass so that it isn't as blue as regular glass. Is it Starphire glass that Oceanic uses and I have to order it with Starphire glass from them? Or is it some other kind? If so, is it as good as Starphire? These are hard...

I can save on the price of my tank if I order it by August 15th, hence the urgency. If they need to cut extra holes for circulation, I need to figure this out by the 15th 8O So if you have a moment (or two)... :D I would like to figure out the circulation options for a 9 foot tank given the...

Hello everyone. This is my first question I have posted to these forums, and I am very glad that you are all here. :D I have to make some decisions on what I am going to use for lighting to supplement my two 400W metal halide pendants I already own. I need to cover 5 more feet of a new 9 foot...

Here is what I am thinking about for a 9 foot tank so far. This is a RENDERING done in Photoshop starting with a photo of the actual location. The window on the left and the stone chimney on the right are real, but the tank and the mahogany cabinetry/wall are rendered.
