  1. Moving Aquarium

    Hey everyone.

    So I will be moving my 40 gal tank soon enough. It is about a 30 min drive away so not tooo too bad.
    My plan was just to unplug everything.. remove the light, pumps, heater and then about 20 % of the water in the tank. Il just leave everything in there cause its time consuming to take the rock out and livestock.. I have a trailer for my motorcycle that should fit the tank on perfectly. That way it will be in the open and get some breeze on the top of the water so ...
  2. Ich in your Display Tank Sucks!!!

    So its been about 4 weeks now with no fish, and its getting pretty long.. lol
    But it seems that its just getting worse.. things just look ugly.. the algae is getting out of control. I dont have enough flow I think but still..
    The day lights are only on 5 hours a day.. my button polyps look real crappy.. gotta get rid of that aiptasia.. the only things that look good are the mushrooms..

    Anyone ever gone through this sort of thing?

  4. Button polyps not liking me..

    Hey everyone.... just thought I would post this as I don't have too many reefing friends I can share information with. I bought my new lights about a month ago (6x T5's).. basically went from about 40 to 234 watts..

    I have tried moving them down and too the side, and now i am using something to shade some of the light ...

  5. Why did I do that?!?!

    Can we post stuff about something going wrong here? lol

    My yellow tang today has quite a few white spots on him... I have never had ich in that tank that I know of, and I know ...
