I am looking to start a saltwater tank in my life again (been tank free for 6 years) and I am looking for a tank with starfire glass, overflow, reef ready, ect... I also am looking for some leads for stand builders. I am not looking necessarily for something "custom" but a stand builder who...

So the other day I get home from work and my husband & daughter let me know that my tank had turned white. Not a pure white, but it was hazy, like when you stir things up a bit. By the time I was home, it looked fine to me. Told him next time to take a picture. I'm thinking it was...

I have had two different zoo frag colonies that have now disappeared. I have not introduced anything new into my tank that would be the culprit. I have 2 clown's, 2 green chromis, 1 yellow tang, banded shrimp, and some hermit crabs. One of the frags was from the DBTC, purple hearted zoas, the...

I was sooo excited! Finally got my Apex Controller. Had taken hours to set it up and programming the equipment. Finally called it a night as I was tired. I thought I was safe, and then the cat was released from my daughter’s room. All it took, one swift bite and the cord for the display was...

In my stand (under the tank) I added a small light because it can be hard to see things at times. The light has 3 small LED's and takes 3 AAA batteries. I have a tendency to forget to turn the light off and I drain the batteries and thus no more light. Because of that I tackled a small...

This will be my very first offering to the DBTC - GREEN STAR POLYP's Total Available - 3 Pick up at BAYMAC Lighting - Moderate to Bright lighting. Care - Easy to keep; good for reef tanks. Standard DBTC rules apply.

My Astraea sp. snails have been acting very strange (about the last month). If my snail falls from the glass, they can't flip themselves over. I have to manually flip them over. I even had one, creeping on the sand normally, flip onto its shell in front of my eyes! What in the world would...

I'm looking to purchase a media reactor and due to space limitations, I would like to stack two different types in one tube, carbon and one for phosphate. Is it possible to do it that way? Which one should go on top/bottom?

I am curious what some people use to measure phosphate. I initally used a Hagen brand and always had "trace" amounts of phosphate. I then switched to Salfert brand and with every test it has been undetectible. I am having an algae problem, mild, but annoying.

I am having issues tring to edit my information. I click on "My Account" and it just looks like I am viewing another member. It does not give me the ability to modify my info or add a new picture. How do I do this now?

I am looking for a good equation that I can use to calculate the amount of "stuff" I put in my tank like magnesium and calcium etc. I know where to find the calculator online, but thats really easy. I want to do the math. For instance. I want to raise my Magnesium by 130ppm and my system is...

Hi everyone, I have been meaning to add something about my tank for some time. Now that Christmas is over, I have a moment. My first tank I had gotten was a 12 gallon Nano cube. Absolutely loved it (at first), now I have it somewhat converted to a quarantine tank. I say somewhat because I...

I purchased a flame fish a few days ago. Quarantined, and now I see spots. I gave a fresh water dip, and clear/white small oval appearing things came off its sides (had one on each eye too) (around 25 altogether). I wish I had a microscope to see more detail, but I don’t. I have been...

So, whats up with the Reef Keeper Elite? ???

What is the best way to clean a sock filter? I had read somewhere (I dont remember where) that this person rinsed off the debris, then soaked it in bleach water for a period of time, then washed (in clothing washer) in hot water/(? with bleach) no detergent. What do you guys do? :-

I have set up a new tank around 10/25. I'm sure it is done cycling as Ammonia, & Nitrite is 0 and Nitrate is around 10. I (as expected) have an algae bloom. I believe it is Bryopsis as it has a feather like appearance. I just want to know how long it should take to go away and should I do...
