I'm only 16 and all of my friends think I'm such a loser for loving my reef. One of my sister's friends came over once and I was on the computer doing some research on potential fish. She asked me...

I just got 60lbs of fiji from J&L Aquatics. They're based in Vancouver so I'm not sure if they ship to the US or not, but you should check it out. We did a group order and got it for $3.99/lb. It's...

Tap water filters- any good? (brita, etc)

I'm currently curing 60lbs of LR and I've been going back and forth to and from the grocery store to get RO water, which is getting to be a pain in the butt. I heard somewhere that a regular water...

A bristleworm sounds like a good possibility. It isn't swollen and you can hardly see the little red mark, so it isn't the picture that Saltz Creep posted. It doesn't hurt as much today but it's...

does anyone NOT use a skimmer?

I'll finally have some live rock in my tank at the end of this month, and I'm having some issues finding a decent skimmer. Has anyone tried to run a reef without a skimmer? Is it actually hard to do?

Just a fun little question for everyone to ponder: How does a newbie graduate to the next stage of reefing?

Calcuim reactors and kalk dripping??

Thanks for your help guys, I'll get some of that aquamend. If you super glue (or gel) corals and such, what do you do when they die? Do you have to throw the rock out as well?

You could buy some pH-up solution and put that in, see if it helps. It's weird that all your corals and fish, etc are doing fine. Are you sure your pH meter is accurate?
