Thank you! It took a transcontinental move for me to quit the hobby. Now I'm back for more punishment! :ROFLMAO:

Thank you! I added some ammonia, and it looks like it is working! Just waiting for the ugly phase now.

I'm waiting for my ugly phase to start just to get it over with! :-) THank you!

So, I just started a new tank. In the past, I have used live rock. This time, I am using dry rock, live sand and using a commercial bacterial product to seed the tank. My question is, where is the algae coming from given that probably only the live sand can contribute it? What about in tanks...

Hi. I'm just getting back into the hobby after several years (and two country moves) away. I just started cycling my IM Nuvo Fusion 20 (info below) with Ocean Direct Live sand and Fauna Marin's Bacto Blend. Has anyone used Bacto Blend before? Am I supposed to add an ammonia source? I can't...

how do you deal with water evaporating? awesome tank! I want one just like it, but before that, I want to know how this is maintained! :-) Thanks.

Is it possible that you might have an increased sensitivity to salt/sea water?

Nikki, I love Thailand! Was in Thailand last December and loved it! Where in Thailand are you going? Good luck and have fun travelling!

These are awesome! I actually utilize the fluorescence properties at work almost every day. A lot of the fluorochromes (the colors) from organisms (corals, etc) have been isolated and are now being used in the life sciences, and in my case, flow cytometry for cancer research. One of the...

So, i moved (again) to Germany and I want to start a new reef aquarium. A nano this time, as I only have a studio. I went to K?lle Zoo today to check out what they had in store. I was amazed at what they had. They had a whole floor dedicated to aquaria, and this room is pretty much the...

I am interested in something like this too. However, I am in Germany, so, recommendations for brands would work. Sorry for piggybacking on your thread.

Wow Kris. Congratulations!

more photos taken with a camera in a case... 2 This is a partial FTS. lol.

more photos taken with a camera in a case... it was a PhP 400 (about $8) case from one of the sports shops here, it kinda worked. The previous pics I posted were taken with an Olympus uTough-8000. I wasn't satisfied with the case. lol. The parts where coral cover is sparse is closer to...
