Check out fijisandman on ebay. He has dry and "live" carribean reef sand and usually tosses in some live sand and like a half pound of culture rock...
Is there anything I can do above and beyond the every other day formalin baths? She got a formalin bath on Sunday and looked better, but by last...
No, I bought beach sand on ebay, but I am concerned that maybe the person just took HD play sand and was reselling it, I don't think there's any way...
Should I bother doing anything to remove them, like siphoning them off or anything. I'm just worried the sand I bought was like the 99% silica sand...
Here is a current picture. Its really bad, do they make silica remover? My phostphates are 0 and I'm using RO water to make salt, not one drop of...
When it gets hot here I've been tossing those "ice gel packs" in my sump. I think hooking a few of these peltiers together and popping the cold side...
Just to report back I removed mine and went over the joints that were outside of the water with some silicone as there were some minor air leaks, and...

Okay so I have 2 pieces in question. First I have a simple pink zoo frag about 8-10 polyps. Since moving from my 5 gallon with a 20w coralife 50/50...
Title says it all. I know NONE of the skimmers in that price range are "good" but I'm sure one of them or another is better than the rest. I know...
I was doing a 55 before and my local reef club members suggested a kole would be the only tang possible as a yellow would have trouble with the 12"...
The tank is about 7 weeks old, I used mostly rocks from an old tank I had going hence the fact that I have fish (engineer, yellow tail damsel, and...
Okay, pretty sure I have a diatom problem, brownish/yellow algae on the lower rocks and on the sand. I've adjusted flow to try and get more water...
