I'm going to start a build thread for this tank but since I'm in the final planning stages I have one big question. I'm changing from a 65 gallon with sump to 75 gallon with sump. When I moved from my Biocube 29 to the 65 gallon I experienced a big cycle and lost a few things (didn't expect...

Two nights ago I discovered a bristle worm sticking its head out of my rock. It took me by surprise, since I've never seen one before. After doing a lot of reading and seeing that they are mostly good, I calmed down and decided to leave it alone. Yesterday I picked up a Crested Oyster Goby...

After the trials I've had with my new set up (tank move), things have settled down and I finally picked up the RBTA that had been waiting for me. First, it's beautiful. It's settling in well (so far, but I guess I'll know tomorrow, eh?) and gradually filling out. One of my Clowns is very...

So, I moved everything over from my Biocube 29 to my 65 gallon. The parameters were the same (and a little better in the case of Calcium and Nitrates). I don't currently have a test kit for phosphates, which is the wild card here. What is different between the two tanks is the sand; I bought...

So, I finally got my 65g (mostly) set up but this has been a journey! I got some (what I now see is very fine) sand from someone and though I rinsed it thoroughly I had a sandstorm for 2.5 days (mainly because I mixed the saltwater in the tank, then added the sand). I've never liked my sand...

Hi all, I recently bought a piece of rock that has 2 plate corals and a colony of radioactive dragon eye zoas. They're all healthy and doing well so far, but I've only had them a week. I keep wondering if the plates should'nt be moved off of the rock and into their own spot on the sand. I'm...

I picked up a sump for my 65g that is already partitioned. I've never had a sump before but I'm questioning whether this is too high and won't allow for proper draining in case of power outage. The first compartment, where the red arrow is, is 12" tall, which is the lowest point. Would this...

The person I got these from couldn't remember the names. They're doing very well but I'd like to know more about them. Let me know if I should take another picture, please. Thanks!

Biocube 29 On Its Way... So... I set up my Biocube 29 last night after an 8 yr absence from the hobby. It hasn't started cycling yet, obviously. Right now, I have 20# of live sand, 29# of live rock (which appears to have a few interesting critters, including some I'm concerned about (asterina...

Hi all, After I dismantled my last tank (during a move) around 8 yrs ago, I toyed with the idea of starting a new one but never wanted to commit. Well, I'm going to do it this time. After MUCH thought I decided I will go with a Biocube 29 (which is curious because I've never been interested...
