Was wondering if a blur spotted puffer and a Valentini puffer could live in the same tank. 75 gal. saltwater noob

Wondering what this is saltwater noob

having little saltwater experience but newly learned patience I decided to experiment a bit. 1 bulb is a 65w double blue bulb, the other 65w 50/50. Wanted to see the difference it makes growing algae on rock. Haven't decided which way to go. In the week and a half, the 50/50 is starting to grow...

on a different site I seen a Guy ask if you had live sand already in your tank and wanted to add more sand, could you add a silica based sand? Would it "seed" like rock does? I think no, but am far from experienced enough to answer the question. Think it was asked because with live stock in the...

I picked up this old school skimmer at a garage sale. I looked it up online and I believe they were made in 92'. Any of you long time reefers ever own one of these and if so, did you like it, did it work well? saltwater noob

This past weekend I bought a salt set up at a garage sale for super cheap. It had about 50# of this rock. I've never seen it before and need help if I should/could use it in a tank and if so do I cure it the same way? It's fairly light weight and seems to be very porous. Having a lot of holes...

Seems near impossible to find a used 55 tall. Any ideas where a guy could find a used 1 for cheap? I went to buy 1 and the guy dropped it coming out of his garage. He did give me everything else free, which doesnt help without the tank. If I can't find 1, the stand will most likely find its way...

I was cleaning the glass on my tank and bumped the thermometer and it broke!!!!!! I used the net to scoop the contents out immediately. I just added a snail and 2 hermits as the tank has cycled almost 8 weeks. Only others in the tank are yellow tail damsels (2) and a blue/green chromis. Should...

I recently decided to give saltwater a try. Owner of a few freshwater tanks. I bought my tank as a complete set up. Cycling beautifully. Today I noticed white almost shell like objects growing on my rock. Should I be nervous? Is this common? Please educate a noob on what I have going on. Thank...
