Hey guys, I teach middle school at a small private school in laurel. I got approval to setup a small tank in the classroom. The students are very interested in saltwater aquariums. One has even gotten her parents to setup one for her with my guidance. I'm looking for a smaller easy to keep tank for now. If anyone has anything lying around I would appreciate it! Thank you!

I got a Sailfin tang from a friend that rescued it but did not have room in his tank for it. So I agreed to take it and upon having it in my tank for a month it bullies the other fish around and pecks at my chalices and acros when I feed. The other fish barely get food also. He is to large for my tank and I have tried to catch him but I have to make acros and ended up knocking frags off and into pieces. So I have two dilemmas ...... 1. How do I catch this fish that is causing havoc in my tank without destroying my acros and rock work? 2. I also need to find someone to take him. Any input would be appreciated!

Hello I was wondering if I purchase some frags online could they be picked up at fragfest? If so how do I go about that process?

Yah the Miami hurricane had skeleton showing. it definitely looks alot better. It was just odd that the others started to do the same thing out of no where. It started with lightening in color and got worse. I guess I am going to just have to keep an eye on it.

When I got them they were bright and colorful. I have had them for over 2 months. I have moved them around from bottom of the tank to higher and now have them mid level

All sps are doing great including encrusting montis and monti caps, Lps including zoas, frogspawn torches, toadstool, ricordia, acan are all doing great. Favias and the chalices are the only ones showing signs. I have never seen them send out sweepers except the Miami hurricane but it isn't near anything. Nothing is within distance to sting them.

the Miami hurricane is the worst, but the goldmeister jsut started out of no where yesterday and the toxic pie looks like it is starting too. i couldnt get the favia but they are on the complete other side of the tank away from the chalices and are doing the same thing from the center then going out

There is the goldmeister Here is the Toxic Pie Here is the Miami Hurricane This is where they are sitting

i have about 10 pieces of SPS, most frags with 3 larger colonies. i try to feed them once or twice a week some mysis and cyclopeeze. i will try to take pictures when i get home from work.

i have no perching fish at all in my tank. I have strong flow all throughout my tank, so no settling detritus staying ontop of them. I have LEDs running at 60% so it is definitely not from the bulbs being to old. I had the toxic spill higher up and it started to bleach. It could be from the ultra clean water i guess. How should i go about trying to correct the issue? Make my water slightly dirtier?
