New Fish on Milwaukee and Division has started getting some real nice corals in recently. I was in there last night and the owner said he was getting a real nice shipment in Friday. Just FYI to fellow reefers. I like his prices a lot too... I just picked up a huge zoa variety rock with like...

Just wondering. Has anyone had any luck with this system? It looks a hell of a lot faster than RO/DI. Kold Water Steril System Always looking for ways to speed up the water change ;-)

What are you guys thoughts on the astrea starfish? I have heard that they won't hurt anything but I have also heard that they could potentially eat zoas. I was wondering if anyone here has had any issues with them eating their zoas? I have seen about 20 or so in my 210 gal that I counted last...

I am absolutely awful at remembering the name of Zoas when I buy them. I was wondering if someone can help me ID a couple? I am sure they are all pretty common zoas as I do not typically spend a lot of money on them. There are a couple varieties on this rock. I don't know the names of any of...

I have been wanting an angler for like a year now and am seriously thinking about setting up an angler tank. Who here has an Angler and what is the recommended set up for one in your opinion? I haven't done any research thus far and am just now in the dreaming stage and starting to look into...

Do you have a Kalk Reactor? Why or why not? I am just trying to weigh in on if I should be using mine or not. I have one that has been in the box for 6 months...I know I know... Anyways, corals look great without it and levels are pretty much perfect. What do you guys think? Should I have this...

I thought this might be a fun thread! Post the name and picture (if you have one) of the creature in your tank that is the biggest bully and tell us why! :-) This is Bazooka, he is a squareback anthias and he terrorizes my chromis by chasing them back onto their side of the tank anytime they...

Question for fellow reefers, for an easy refugium without having to re-silicone a tank, in theory do you think a XL 12 inch plastic hamster ball (brand new of course, lol) would work for a refugium? I feel like if I got a clear one the light would penetrate fine, but what do you guys think flow...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui-r2oTfTog Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried making their own tank. It doesn't look that hard, but I am assuming it's harder than it looks? I would love to try to make something small at first, like a 5 gallon cube or something.

I was wondering if someone can tell me the pros vs cons of dosing with vodka and vitamin c? Do you dose with either or both of these? What are the benefits and what are the dangers of it? And lastly, what is the recommended dose per gallon ratio? I would really appreciate some feedback on...

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me ID this new coral I got. I forgot to ask the name when I bought it. I got it at Midwest Coral Farms. It's green and blueish purple with red/orange spots on it.

Hi Everyone, I have read on some other forums about some people who use UV Filters on their reef tanks. I thought you weren't supposed to use UV Sterilizers on a reef tank....but I am reading mixed information on it. Who here uses them on their reef tank and what are the benefits? Who doesn't...

Hey guys, I am kind of freaking out right now because I just noticed that the Oak stand that I have my 210 gallon tank on is starting to split up a little on the front left side near the corner. Currently I have a 4 inch split starting at the bottom of the stand (see photo) on a 37inch tall...

Back in August my husband and I picked up a 210 gallon tank for a REALLY great price. We have had it running for about 6 months now as a FOWLR tank but recently decided to convert it into a LPS and Softies Reef tank. We are very slowly updating some of the equipment that came with the tank and...
