ORA Announces Captive Bred Mandarins For many years marine aquarium hobbyists have been captivated by the exquisite beauty of Mandarin Gobies (actually Dragonettes). Their popularity, however, is tempered by the fact that they are difficult to feed in captivity and are subject to questionable...

I recently (a week ago) got some new rock. Put the new rock in the tank .. all is well. My tank looks great! Thanks Shaggy! However, since I put the new rock in the tank .. I can't get this damn skimmer to dial in for the life of me. I am not quite sure why either. Figuring it was because...

So, I took some advice from folks over at the other thread that I started and made some changes. I like it quite a bit, but thought I'd throw it out there for some opinions :). Now please ignore all the frags and where all of them are for the most part, some of them are not in their final...

I have had this stuff forming in my tank for I don't know how long. I blow it off, it comes back ... I blow it off and it comes back. It literally attaches to everything. It has long stringie stuff .. and has a brown coat that looks like film. Now, if I stop all my water circulation, this...

I have some sand particles that are in my water column that are being kicked by the flow and etc. It's not super bad at all, but enough to annoy the hell out of me. I know a filter sock will help, if I put it on my return drain. So, my question is .. what micron would be recommended? Thanks!

As everyone knows, I sold my 100gal system due to us relocating to a much smaller house. I traded my skimmer with FPerkins to get the 30gal DSA rimless tank. However, it's been a slow movement to getting that system up and going. Then, I just had to go and break my ankle! Which was a huge a...

Ok, so I am getting a new ATI Light Fixture for the new tank. I talked to Greg at Reefgeek on bulb selection, he recommended two light set ups. So, I thought I'd ask you fellow folks and see what you guys would recommend. R This will give you a nice crisp color with a touch of blue and...

I couldn't just tear down my old system and not have anything left. So, I have decided to keep trucking on. Yes, this means that I am getting another tank! I have myself a 30gal rimless RR tank, with the overflow in the middle of the tank. This is one of the DSA tanks. Tank Dimensions ...
