salt water

When there's not enough water left in the brute can to do a water change what do you do? I don't want to waste the the salt water at the bottom of the can, but I need to start making more so that I have enough to complete a water change. Do you just add more RO/DI water and salt mix to the water...

Hi everyone, I posted recently and a lot of you had great answers so I’m asking more questions. I’ve only ever had beta fish before and that was an extremely long time ago. I was going to get back into the hobby and get another beta when I found myself in the position of inheriting someone’s...

Hey fellow reefers. Newish to the hobby and loving every minute of it. Even the challenges. Now I have a challenge I can’t seem to get a grasp on so I’ll explain in vivid detail. I have a 75 gal salt water aquarium that has been up and running for about 9ish months. I did the cycling process...

Hi there, Reefers! I am moving and my new place does not allow tanks - any idea if there are any forums where you can sell/give live sand/rock and equipment? I inherited these tanks and I am not sure how to get rid of it without throwing it out and that fewla wrong! thank you!

Hey everyone. I'm located in South Jersey. Setting up a 125g with a 40g sump. I don't have enough cans to hold that much water and I only have a small RO/DI unit that does about 50g a day. So does anyone know of a place that would deliver about 150 gallons of pre mixed saltwater?

This is probably a silly question but I’m going to ask anyway. I have a tank that I’ve had up for a few weeks of fresh water fish and a snail. I kept going back and forth if I wanted to do salt or fresh started with fresh now I’m gonna go to salt since that’s what I really want. My question is...

One of zoanthids frag seems to be dying. I am new on this and kind of lost on what I should do. I had it for 2 months no issues, but last week started to look weird and it is getting worst by day. the only change I did was adding new corals, they seems to be doing fine. Please advice!! Thanks

Hi people, I'm new to saltwater aquariums but have kept tropical fish for about 10 years and finally took the leap This might be a stupid question but when mixing salt is it common for the salt to contain shards of crystallised salt? I have bought Tropic Marin REEF-Salt and just about to...

I just saw the article in the news and saw it on fox news that a family and their dogs were poisoned by coral from their fish tank. Has anyone had this problem and if so to what degree? they seem to think it was from zoanthids... The CDC stated: According to Centers for Disease Control and...

so I stated my tank with BRS reef saver dry rock. I miss the diversity of having all kinds of cool critters. I was thinking about ordering 20 pounds of live sand and 30 pounds of live rock from Tampa bay salt water. I would use the 30 pounds of LIVE rock and remove 90% of the rock I have now. My...
