Peanut worms are completely reef safe.
Gloves are a good idea. They protect the tank from you and you from the tank, so to speak. You should always have clean hands anyway but the gloves...
I have a DIY HOB u-tube overflow--works great and completely silent. I gotta go with everyone else here though and say drill it if you can. I am...
I have a 75g in my garage that isn't set up, but it is a nice acrylic reef-ready and it only has one corner overflow. I think it depends much more...
Ditto. If we all agreed about the details all the time, there would be no need for 3reef.;D
Yeah, the bigger and more well-established systems can often do well with less water changes as long as the micronutrient levels are monitored. I...
You can go to your local plastics store and pick up sheets of 1/4" ABS to use for your overflow weir. It is easy to work with, cheap, and they will...
LOL. Can we have a copy of the full FBI background check on your tank? :P
Perhaps your light bulbs are too old. I have noticed that corals tend to pick up or lose coloration in response to increases/decreases in adequate...

Great, thanks! I will post a better picture and see if that helps. Now I would like to know more in case there is a problem with the sponge....
Interesting. I have had it for two years and never noticed any die-off. It just grows in that pattern. I have it both tanks and in a bunch of...
I need help with the ID on that sponge also. It is a fluorescent yellow color under white light (slightly greenish hue)
I was told that the Euphyllia in the pic is a hammer coral (Euphyllia ancora) but it never makes those little scicle shapes with the end of its...
:cry: Yikes, that is not what you want to walk in to find in the morning. I guess the moral is keep sponges you paid for submerged just to be safe....
I use anything with the words superglue on it also--never had any probs. It all says that the only ingredient is cryanocyalate. What are the...
