I am selling my high end zoa collection, with another baby coming in next few weeks I could use the money. The number after name is polyp count a lot might have more now, then price after for entire zoa on disk. I priced them super cheap to move them. If you get multiple you get a better deal...

Hey all, I see folks ask about online ordering of livestock from places like liveaquaria, saltwaterfish, etc and just wanted to let anyone interested know how it went for me. I have only ordered from liveaquaria, but today was the second time I have ordered from them. The first time I...

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but how do you guys have your GFI's wired? Like what components on each one, lights, skimmer, exc. The reason I am asking is I recently when ton vacation, and had a tank sitter for just opening the glass top and dumping in the pre measured out...

Took a visit to a new store today, first time Ive looked at a store Ive never been to in at least 3 years. I have been hearing about Pet Connection alot over the years, but recently realised it was located in Livonia, less than 25 minutes away from home! Just so happened I was visiting a freind...

Hello, My name is John, my wife Kathie, and we are new to reef keeping ! Although we are now both retired, this is her first experience with aquaria of an kind! I kept them, both fresh, and salt from the late 60s thru the early 80s ! Then life got in the way, as it does with many hobbies, and i...

So, I recently bought some turbo snails and after floating them for a while i dropped them into my tank and they never moved again. So, i assume as usual my tank parameters are off but at testing im at 78 degrees 8.2 PH 0 Am 0 Nitrite 5ppm Nitrate .026 So i didnt think those were to bad so i...

I am using the BRS 2-part dosers hooked to a reefkeeper lite. As you know, the BRS 2-part system involves mixing 1 gallon of alkalinity, 1 gallon of calcium and 1 gallon of magnesium. I dose equal parts of alkalinity and calcium each night on staggered timers to prevent precipitation. It is my...

When the United States Fish and Wildlife first published the charges against me, I posted that much of it was heavily exaggerated or untrue and most of it would eventually "blow over." The Judge finally recognized an over ambitious prosecutor, and I didn't go to jail or pay $500,000.00 in...

Got about 20 of these around the tank. Wasn't initially concerned but noticed they are popping up in the middle of zoa patches and on live rock. Is it a Majano? Should I be concerned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone else absolutely LOATH stacking rock? I don't care how easy a rock is to stack, ultimately I end up getting "almost there" with a scape I like, move one or two things, and then have to start all over again. It always seems to end the same way, with me finally just being sick of...

Having a phosphate issue that I'm thinking is coming from my (still relatively) new dry rock. In the interest of keeping this relatively short, the crib notes on my tank would be that I tested for phosphate immediately after the cycle with a liquid test and got no reading, then again at...

I was thinking of switching to RC from Salinity. So I inquired what the levels were in the salt like Aquavitro has on the side of the bucket. I emailed IO and here was their response. Does anyone know or have tested this salt? Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I added 6 tsp of kalk to my water during a water change (8 gallons on a 30 gal tank). The water is very cloudy, is my tank done? I realize now I did this way wrong. I am going to do another water change in the morning, just terrified I will have a dead tank. Ph seems to be around 9, just...

I haven't paid much attention to my tank in a while. The pumps are on, the water is going into the sump, and I have been keeping up with the water. I recently started turning the lights back on. I have a retro fit MH set up. 2 ballasts in a metal box, cords leading out to 2 250 single end...

I was thinking of placing an order for some corals because finding the more colorful corals in our are is hard to do. But ordering online worries me I'm afraid of them being over stressed or D.O.A. What are some of your experiences with shipping corals in general?

today i put my hand into my tank and got a noticable shock for the first time since its been set up(6 months). After doing some research i decided to unplug and test all my equipment. unplugging everything one at a time does not stop the shock, but when i kill the power to the strip itself it...

Have a new question I posted at bottom. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes. I moved my tank to the living room and I had to plug into a regular two prong without a gfci. Ive already shocked myself due to a powerhead leaking voltage, and also a skimmer pump...
