I've got this weird ballooning slug like thing. I've only found two of them so far, and they only seem to be out at night. The way they move is they balloon this appendage and use it to crawl around the glass. Any idea what it is? Pictures to follow.

Ok, so I just noticed these...tubey things on one of my coral frigs today. Any idea what they could be? My guess is a sponge but I'm not sure. There are two growths. One is sort of in the upper right of the coral, the other is on the bottom left.

I've had a hard time finding a good compatibility chart. All of the charts I find from a decent source (liveaquaria for instance) are terribly difficult to read. I recently found this one over at Petco; however, the 'compatible' stuff is different than several other charts I've seen (jawfish...

As a preface, I'm 99.9% sure I'm overreacting; however, i figure it's best to ask anyway. I just got my order in from ReefCleaners (yay!) I ordered most of my CUC and some Uvla, I followed his acclimation steps, but when I put the Macro in my tank little bugs just jumped out everywhere. It...

So, I have my new LEDs (yay!). Unfortunately, they put a lot of heat into my tank. With the biocube canopy, there isn't much opportunity to put a fan over it. Any ideas how to keep the temp down?

Anyone have one of these? I'm trying to figure out how many of the LED's I should get. Since the thing has a relatively high price point (but the difference between the lowest and highest is only $30), I'd rather buy one too big for my system and turn down the intensity rather than go out...

Does anyone have one of these with dimmable lights? I can't seem to figure out which wire color goes to which outlet (+, -, or ground).

Alright. Since I finally have my lights going and everything is working, it’s time to start thinking about stocking. I had my heart set on a Jawfish; however, with some of the improvements and small changes I've made to my tank, I'm not sure it's the best of ideas. I had a dusky jawfish...

(In interest of full disclosure, I had probably one of the worse incidents regarding shipping with the item in question, part that shouldn’t have broken broke for no apparent reason. However, I still would buy from Steve again.) I recently bought a LED retrofit from Steve’s LEDs. From the...

I need an ID and some possible help. I've got this pink algae growing on one of my frags. I'd like to know if i need to get it out before it spreads. (sorry for the blurry photo, it's hard to get a pic with this lighting) My tank has been running on low light for about a week and a...

I bought an LED Retrofit kit for my Biocube. It came in the mail today, but one of the parts was damaged (the fan inside the power supply had a blade broken off). I already contacted the guy who sold it to me, he's filing a claim with USPS since it was insured and they quality control...

I will be getting my LED retrofit kit for my Biocube in tomorrow! The kit I got has dimming knobs, but I was wondering if anyone here has experience wiring and programming a LED Controller and would like to share :D (Link to the kit: Here) The guy who built the kit has "Aquarium...

Love how this happens just before work. A quick rundown of the problem: Lights are set up on a timer, the LED's work, the fan works, the lights dont. I took the lid off the tank to see if the problem was the outlet and the lights look like they are lighting up, then they kick out while the...

I just picked up a few frags (pics in my tank section, don't want to be double posting) but I have a few questions about dealing with frags 1.) The frags I picked up are Zoas. I will not be putting any additional livestock in this tank for at least a week, probably closer to two or three...

Woo Hoo! So, the tank is up and running, no leaks or cracks! I have mostly base rock. I had issues with buying lots of LR off Craigslist last time that put lots of pests in my tank, I’m not going to risk it this time. Unfortunately, this will delay the time that I will add anything...

Reefstock is a little more than two weeks away and my tank won’t quite be ready yet, so I need to set up a temporary holding tank for corals. I’m not 100% sure I’ll be buying (or what I'll be buying), but it’s better to have a temporary holding tank set up to be safe than sorry. I am setting...

Hehe, after an interesting turn of events (craigslist is great, but not perfect :| ), it looks like I’m going back to my 29 G Biocube (Pardon the GIANT post, I got a little carried away). So, it’s time for MORE questions! My last tank was FOWLR, I’d like to do a reef tank, but I only have...

I'm looking at a tank on craigslist, it looks like a good deal. However, the lady wants to get rid of everything (fish, coral, rock, ect.) and I really don't wan't any of the other stuff except the tank and filter equipment. So my question is two fold. One, I don't want the fish/corals. I...

Hello! I’m Cody, I’m scoping things out while I decide whether or not to re-start my tank. I have a 30 gallon Biocube, it’s currently sitting in storage (has been for about a year) after a particularly disastrous total system wipeout. I had been running a FOWLR system for about a year...
