I've been trying to bring my alkalinity levels up using Seachem's Reef Builder but it's been slow going. What product do you use?

My bristletail does a good job keeping the aiptasia population in check. Unfortunately he also picks on a lot of other things, sometimes unwantedly so, like my sea-urchin. Here's a shot of him(?) grabbing a bristle worm although the lurking hawkfish snatched it from him a second later.  I was...

I've got two 1 quart bags of chaetomorpha algae that are free to the first persons to come get them which means no, I won't hold them for you. The only restrictions are 1 bag per person and you can't resell them. Also I'm an extreme night owl so you can call/come by as late as midnight but if...

After losing my yellow tang and foxface to a power outage I now have a serious hair algae problem. Does anyone know an lfs with pincushion Sea urchins in stock? TIA

Any recommendations on the best type of bio-blocks or similar filter media to use in my sump? I've always just used reef-rubble in the past.

My new pair of Bangai cardinals doesn't seem to want to eat. I've tried flake, frozen mysis and brine shrimp but so far they've turned up their noses at everything. Does anyone know where I can buy some live brine? Or have any tips on getting them to eat?

It's time to fire up my new 'fuge and after the caulerpa taxifolia in my little tank just went sexual on me, I thought I'd give chaeto a try. I'm willing to beg, borrow, buy, trade or steal and I'm in the Irving area. Thanks in advance.I'd also like to add some biodiversity to my sandbed. I use...

Thanks to Steve & Mary & Billy & Mike & Ben & Marc & all of the BOD my 110 is back on its stand.

My tank just failed catastrophically - a lower edge gave way and dumped 100+ gallons on the floor. I'm in a wheelchair and am unable to do much physically. What are my options for cleanup? My LFS isn't open yet. A few corals may be saveable still (an hour later). Any advice? My address is 1902...

Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by the trend to post pictures of corals/reef tanks with just the blue lights on? I only run my blues alone for a couple of hours a day so most of the time the whites predominate and that's what I want to see before I buy. But online and at recent frag...

What do you all feed your clowns? I've had a pair of false percula for about 12 years (well one of them anyway). And while they laid eggs and all when their anemone was available, I always feel like I'm being kind of negligent in what I feed them - TetraMarin Saltwater Flakes. Lately it seems...

Thanks to George, I've got a new rbta for my clowns. They've been a bit freaked out since their old host died so I'm hoping this will settle them down and maybe they'll even go back to spawning. They haven't found the new guy yet but that's okay since he's still pretty small.

I just read this depressing article from attendees at a meeting of the NOAA's U.S. Coral Reef Task Force. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/10/25/coral.threat.ap/index.html But when I went to the NOAA's website to read more, I found their coral reef picture page, which cheered me up a...

I found this cool picture of a clam and acro on a reef in Bali and thought I'd share. There are a bunch more pictures on the site but this one really made me drool. alt=""> http://www.waterworxbali.com/under-water-photos.shtml

[Has anyone found a site with some good, natural reef shots? Here's one I found on http://www.reefbase.org You may have to register to search their database but it's free. alt="">]

[My green bta finally split. When I looked in this morning I had two little btas instead of 1 big one. It had looked like it would split a few times before but never did so this caught me by surprise. My clowns were all confused as to which one to use. They've both been in both anemones now...

[Just a picture I thought I'd share:]

[Any guesses? I 've read Eric Borneman's class on the subject but I'm waaaay too lazy to do all that. So instead I'll just ask for opinions and go with the majority. It started as a small frag from a club raffle and is now one of my better corals. It's a lot thicker than other montipora...

[My bta did something he never has before - he got real tall and expelled a milky tan fluid. Was he trying to breed or just cleaning out the pipes? Has anyone else seen or read about this behavior? http://www.dfwmas.org/gallery2/My-little-mess-30-gal-reef/bta02...
