  2. Got a gift card for the holidays and want a new fish! Ideas?

    As the subject says, I received a nice gift card for the holidays and I am thinking about getting another fish or two for my tank. A little bit about the tank to help suggestions. I currently have a 29g with a HOB filter with 3 koralia nano powerheads. Stock list fish - Banded Goby -...
  3. why is liverock so expensive

    Thanks everyone - I know why its expensive it just sucks. ha I am trying to add 15 or so lbs to my already running tank, so dry rock and curing it isnt really an option. Just saw that manhattan aquarium is having a nice 25% off sale this whole weekend as well. thanks everyone
  4. why is liverock so expensive

    I am looking for like 15lbs of cured live rock and have called like 3-4 stores and they all want $9/lb or more. Is this normal? I live in NYC where do you all get your live rock? Ill be in North New Jersey on Friday/Sat if there are any stores out that way. Looking for suggestions. Thanks
  5. Looking for live rock - Upper East Side NYC

    Hey Everyone - I am looking for about 10-15lbs of live rock to help build my rockscape more vertical and give some of my corals a better lit home and also more secure so the crabs and snails quit knocking them over! Anyone live nearby and willing to sell/trade/give away some of their rock...
  6. Re stocking deals...

    Thinking about swinging by tomorrow morning/afternoon. How does the smaller/cheaper frag inventory look? I am also in the market for an emerald crab or something that will eat bubble algae and also clean my substrate. Hope there are some good things left from the big sale
  7. Torch Coral

    Just a quick update... i moved it up about 5 inches and over to the right... on the original picture its basically above the candy cane with the base perched between two rocks.... great news was gold color that was not there prior to the move. Excited to get home from work tonight and see what...
  8. Torch Coral

    Awi is that just regular instant ocean (purple branding) or reef crystals (orange branding). just curious as i use reef crystals... i have never checked mag or calcium in a new bucket of water. I just make sure temp, salinity, nitrates, phosphate and ammonia are good to go
  9. Torch Coral

    Hey E.intheC - thanks for the response. I do not think its getting too much flow... id say if anything not getting enough. my 3 fish certainly do laps and that helps move the torch around but other then when theya re doing laps, its just calmly blowing in the water
  10. Torch Coral

    thanks for the insight guys. really do appreciate and will be upgrading test kits in about a month when my LFS has there big end of year sale. I personally like the reef crystals as the salt, its been steady and ok for the most part. My dad uses the red sea and has been having some issues with...
  11. Torch Coral

    Yup i am thinking about making a small change to see if it gets better, if its the same ill see how i like the look, if it gets worse ill put it back where it was... pretty simple stuff and an easy test. I did read that and did some serious research on it. My dad has a 75g tank and he will...
  12. Torch Coral

    yup - been dosing Mg every night and I am not putting any calcium in the tank whatsoever. I used instant ocean reef crystals. I use API test kits for everything but Mg. Phos is as close to yellow as it can be on that test kit. Its prob not 0, but its barely readable. I agree Kh needs to...
  13. Torch Coral

    there is probaly 35ish lbs of live rock in there... needing to get more but everytime im at the store, its not cured. I can move it up a bit over to the right above the xenia on the substrate. that would give it a bit more light. I am running a t5 4 bulb params last week when tested were...
  14. Torch Coral
