    Okay, so I’m not keeping seahorses lol But I haven’t seen much online about folks using the Aqua FX Seahorse 4-inline RO/DI and I wanted to see if anyone on here has had experience with one.

    Is this aiptasia? Got some new zoas and noticed this..

    I had a friend that is getting a new tank, so had to get rid of a lot of his corals. Some of his zoas have feather dusters, which I’ve heard are healthy for a mature tank. These pink cat eyes are the only corals that have these. They’ve been in my tank for about a week and have now popped up...

    Build Thread New To Saltwater - 130 Tall Build

    I just picked up a 130 gallon tank today... 36w x 24d x 36h. I've never had a saltwater tank, so I'm diving in head first... no pun intended, as I'm sure I'll have to dive into this tank at some point with it being 3ft deep. I've watched the 52 weeks of reefing, the 5 minute guides, all of...
