live sand: yes. A fuge is a good place for a DSB, and the sand/mud is common for a place to grow certain macroalgaes. Chaetomorphia is the only...
Welcome to 3reef Joe! I think most of your questions about the fish and starfish have been answered... I would only add that I added a sand sifter...
I guess we're under the assumption that the rock from your FO tank was never treated with copper medications? I know you said it's live rock... but...
For every one you see there's THOUSANDS crawling in your walls.
it's best to not let mixed salt water sit for more than a few days without a power head, air stone, heater, etc in it. It can go bad pretty quick...
Keep an eye on Craigslist, I just got a 1/5th HP JBJ Arctica for $300 brand new (but sitting in a garage for a year or so)... they're out there and...
FWIW, I'm all for wild collection as long as it's done within the laws of your region, in a sustainable / nonpolluting manner (i.e. nets vs cyanide),...
All those 3" fish today will be 12" or more in a year or two, and in the wild can get to 18-24 inches and bigger.
what, if anything, are you dosing in the tank? Need full water parameters including alk, calcium, ph, temp, salinity, nitrates, nitites, ammonia,...
First things first, is it legal to collect for a private aquarium in Florida? (I don't know, that's why I am asking) Second: I bet the first batch...
ok so I don't know if anyone else does this... but I got bored tonight and made a long scrolling image of all my full tank shots I could find. I know...
It's the only valid answer tho. Value is entirely subjective. $9.99/lb is more than I would pay for live rock, but without pictures it's hard to...
I got a decent cyano outbreak about 3 months into my 58g reef as well, I think it's just part of a cycle we all experience. Nothing about what we do...
Man that blows... my nightmares usually start with dripping sounds. What brand tank is it, how old, etc? I just shelled out an extra $300 for a...
I use RC ($0.42/gal) now, but the LFS I get stuff from is switching to Salinity ($0.43/gal) and the D-D stuff($0.52/gal). So I will probably use...
I'm not sure the tigers and the polar bear would be compatible...
Yeah, over driving a T5 is possible, but not generally advisable. Better to add 2 more bulbs - more light and cheaper in the long run.
you could probably fit the polar bear and kangaroo in a 20g, a baby whale needs a 55g tho. The walrus is small, just part of the clean up crew.
Generally speaking, tropical marine tangs do not do well in a tank full of Orange TANG® ... I speak from experience people! -Doug
I'm just gonna put it out here.... I have never seen a walrus, kangaroo, polar bear OR baby whale eat coral, I consider them reef safe. If you...
