    Blueberry Gorgonian

    Sooo I've been itching to take the dive and give one of these a shot. I've been asking and reading as much as I can, and I've probably read everything there is to keep one (which it seems that only a few people recorded to have had theirs for about a year or so with plenty of growth). I just...

    So I got my 40 breeder filled..

    And plumbed to my current system, I'm planning to run it as a large display refugium! It's going to have 3-4 inch deep sand bed, a various array of macroalgaes lit by two PAR38 bulbs. But as far as inhabitants go what would you guys put in there that you wouldn't keep in a reef styled tank...

    8 weeks running fallow, treated all my fish with copper

    And yet I still have ich showing up on my Kole Tang a week and a half after putting the fish back into the display tank... Sooner or later it's probably going to show up on the rest of my fish but what other options do I have aside from removing them and treating with copper again? Building up...

    QUESTION: How to get rid of shaded spots

    I finally was able to get a decent FTS yesterday, clearly you can see I got shading in some spots on the spires themselves. I'm just wondering what options do I have to help relieve this problem? I'm running a Reef Breeders Photon 16(16 inches long) directly in the middle of the tank, would the...

    "L" Brackets for hanging light fixtures

    Does anyone know where I can find those L shaped brackets (the ones that go on the wall and holds up a shelf) longer than 16 inches? I need one roughly maybe between 18-21 inches since my light currently is dead centered on my tank but due to space the rock work is not totally centered giving me...

    Is this Bryopsis or hair algae?

    So I started my tank up on 6/15/14 and it is completely cycled, I have zero traces of ammonia nitrite and nitrite plus no phosphate since I started the tank up with biopellets. As soon as the cycle was finish this stuff started growing on my rock and has been growing everywhere. I decided to...

    Dry rock cycling

    Okay so this is my first time cycling a tank with dry rock so bare with me lol. I finally had filled the tank up yesterday, had both dry rock and live sand put in together. The next day I put in a piece of live rock from my currently running tank as my seed rock with two cups of sand from the...

    Plumbing question

    So let me just start off with the fact that I'm completely new to plumbing my own system and I'm sort of lost trying to find the right pieces for my tank. The bulkheads on my corner-flo 60 cube are both 1 1/4 inches MPT I think, I'm looking to use flexible vinyl tubing for my return and drain...

    Deciding to go with BioPellet Reactor

    As title says, I'm planning to go with an Aquamaxx Biomaxx Biopellet Reactor with ecoBAK Biopellets as the media and a Mag 3 to power it. I've been doing a lot of reading about BP reactors and that it's a hit or miss if you decide to run a refugium with macro algae as well. I wanted to go ahead...

    Water temp dropping?

    So unfortunately my clumsy self forgot to turn the heaters back on after doing a water change yesterday before work and had left the tank to sit without any heaters on for a full 24 hours, I didn't notice today until I realized my torch was probably 80% retracted and other corals in the tank...

    Making a bigger opening on Ventura stand?

    So I got the standard Ventura Stand that is usually sold with a Marineland 60 gallon cube. My problem is that with the small opening (it's about 13in by 25in) I'm so limited on the amount of space I can see and access especially when it comes to the sump. Now my question is, would it be a bad...

Was hoping to find a forum specifically for reef keepers in the Chicago land area and viola, I stumbled upon CR! Well, I've been into the reef keeping hobby for about a year or so now but have...
