    DIY Long Distance Move

    Hey Y'all, In about 3 months I'll be moving across the country from Knoxville, TN to Denver, CO (1,300 – 1,400 miles). I've got a Red Sea Reefer 170 (43 gal). I feel like it’s going to be much too expensive to restart all of my corals and as a result am looking to move them with me. The idea...

    Gonipora?

    I got this picture from someone looking to trade for some zoas. Is this possibly a gonipora? If so how does one care for them. Never had one before and I need to know everything. Aggression level mainly. If it’s agressive I don’t have room to isolate. Can it go on a frag rack or will it murder...

    Montipora Placement

    So I posted this in SPS and butchered the title. But I am wondering if my new rainbow monti will grow ok on the back wall of my biocube 16 LED? I have it setting on my lower rocks right now so it can adjust to my lighting.

    Hello folks! Thank you in advance for any help! I currently own a 40 gallon breeder. I've had it for 4 months and everything is good, parameters are perfect, however, the tank is just not big enough for my livestock and coral. I purchased a 57 gallow shallow rimless Fiji Cube and just got...

    40 gal stocking

    Hey guys I have a 40 gallon reef tank set up and it’s almost out of the cycling stage. I plan on keeping hardy corals in there and adding them once the tank is about 3-6 months old, or at least after the algae bloom stage is over. I am thinking of adding the following fish: - 1x Clownfish: I...

    Torches touching

    So I am not new to SW. I AM new to torches. We have 1 torch so far in my biocube. It’s doing great. I found a new friend who is selling me a Todds torch. Can it touch my firefly torch without coral warfare? It has way longer tentacles than mine. I’m not sure about the indo/Aussie and all that...

    Bumblebee snails

    So I have a zillion vermitids in my tank. Not the ones with the webs but they shoot out a single little line to catch food. I run a biocube 32. I bought 1 single bumblebee snail thinking he’d do at least something to take care of this mess. (“Mess” being a misnomer because as far as I can tell...

I don’t like the style of many marine tanks and have came across the Juwel Vision 260 Marine Aquarium, I’m also considering the size up (450). I really love the curvature of it...

    Toadstool frags

    So I’m selling some toadstool frags and by necessity they’re small. Is 15$ too much to ask for a Tyree Green frag? I really want to be fair to my buyers. Also this is the first time I fragged it so I’m guaranteeing life for a week after they pickup from me. I feel like these are small but mine...

    Tank smells like a febreezd fruitcake

    So I added a toadstool to me tank a while ago. It’s not super huge. It’s maybe 10-12% of total coral biomass in the tank. Well I’ve noticed my tank has a kind of a rotten fruit+Ocean breeze smell. Like Febreze over a Christmas fruitcake. Is that what terpenes smell like? Nothing in my tank has...

    UV sterilizer help

    Does anyone know of a UV sterilizer that will work for a biocube 16? I have been using the coralife one and it’s a piece of ****. The one on my 32 gallon works fine. This one keeps blowing bulbs or just not lighting period. Coralife even sent me a new bulb and nothing.

    Red Planeria Question

    I found what I'm 99% sure is red Planeria on my soft coral. I'm experienced in the fish world but this is my first tank with Coral. I have some soft corals along with a bunch of fish. So how much do I need to worry about this? Is this something that may not cause any harm if left or do I need to...
