    Porites (pink sand dollar Porites) - Encrusting or Plating or...?

    I have kept my first Porites for a bit over a year now and am a little surprised by its growth pattern. I was under the impression that it was an encrusting coral but mine seems to be platting (with some upward cupping) rather than encrusting. I really like the how it is currently growing but it...

    What eats foot long hair algae?

    These two all stars! Down to the glass. I am excited to track their feeding, should be easy :D Regretfully, It took me 20 years before giving urchins a try at hair algae removal. To be honest, mostly because I kept smaller tanks previously. I put these two in on Saturday around 2pm. This...

    How do you acclimate fish that have been shipped to you?

    I have never received a fish in the mail before however I am expecting my first to deliver early next week. Is there anything different about receiving a fish in the mail, as opposed to picking one up form LFS, that I should consider? Appreciate any helpful advice!

    Plumbing RODI help - Self-Piercing Saddle valve?

    Should I use a saddle valve or look for a different solution. I purchased a new RODI unit a few weeks ago but have been lagging to set it up because it is a lot less straight forward than my previous house where I just connected it to my utility sink. In our current house, we have a really old...

    MP10 shaft damage, should I be worried?

    You can see at the base of the shaft that some metal has been exposed. Is this something to be worried about? I went ahead and purchased a new quiet drive mp10 to replace this but was hoping this is something that can be repaired? The quiet drive is considerably quieter but it would be cool if...

    Hannah is currently out of stock (back ordered). Are there any other options I could purchase? Or suggestions as to where to look? I see plenty of options in the well over $20 range but I don't really need it bad enough to justify the higher cost.

    Considering adding an molly to the reef tank

    Are there any glaring (or not glaring) reasons why I should not add a Molly (after properly acclimating) to my reef tank? I have more to learn before making this decision. I am interested in hearing why or why not add a molly to a 20g display dimensions (40g total volume including sump)? The...
