More than anything in the world she wants a Cow Fish. She also wants a green banded goby, firefish, yellowhead jawfish, royal gramma and yellow tang. I am sure there are many more on her list, but can only think of those at the moment. I really want a mandarin, but will probably wait until we...

I love to go with a aggressive/semi-aggressive tank. However, most of the fish my fiance likes are neither. We have sort of made a deal that she chooses the fish and get to handle coral.

It was a free fish with aquarium purchase. I did things a little backwards. I bought the tank and then spent every free minute after getting it researching. Had I done my research beforehand I would have realized that they are impossible to catch and can get pretty territorial and probably...

The cured live rock and water are both from a large tank at the LFS. LFS installed and set everything up with us at our place and stated that he does not expect to see anything cycle because everything came from a long standing tank. He has lots of installs he has done throughout town and said...

Got my new LEDs in today. The LFS ripped the guts out of my stock florescent hood and installed 3W Cree LEDs. The install looks great, I love the shimmer and I got to put in my 1st Coral today, a Kenya Tree. Tank is still a bit new so there isn't much in it at the moment. Next weekend we should...

I have read that fan noise from LED lighting can be somewhat noisy and I am concerned. My tank is in my living room so I do not want much noise if possible. I am going to the LFS next Saturday to discuss him building a an LED setup into my stock hood (ripping out the florescent ballast). Are...

I am under the assumption that a 425gph powerhead is plenty for a 29 gallon tank, but should I have another one on the opposite side of the tank or do I have more than enough?

My fiance has been doing freshwater for 15 years and as a present for her getting an A in Calculus I bought us a 29g tank. Neither of us have been so excited in a while. We have ~30lb of Caribbean live rock, a 425gph Koralia circulation pump, Marine Land Power Filter 200. We will probable get...

The rock is on the sand, not on the bottom of the tank. I would have thought that all of that weight sitting on small area of glass would have been bad for the glass vs distributed weight via putting on sand. I would say my heaviest piece of rock is 9lbs. What are the odds of an avalanche with a...

I am worried about my rockscaping collapsing. It seems pretty stable, but I have read horror stories of them taking out a tank.They are not precariously perched or anything, but it isn't like they are perfectly stuck together like legos.

I could see what was in that video. I knew I did not want to hear it. I clicked it anyway. No willpower.

I purchased my 1st 29 gallon saltwater tank yesterday. My boss has a 75 gallon and has lent me all of his books and am making my way through them. It seems that forums are much "quicker" at finding information vs reading pages upon pages of the author's thoughts until they get to the one...
