I have included a couple of pics. I need help identifying this thing in my pics. Don't know if it's good or bad. And if it is bad how do i get rid of it. The first one is a picture taken from the main tank, it's a black furry thing, which is only isolated in the area where the picture was...

Hey guys, I'm planning to set up a 55 gallon fish only tank- mostly predators fishes. My eel is getting to big for my reef tank and it's feeding habits are a big bio load on my reef tank. I want to set up this tank on my corner coffee table. I plan to have a good amount of live rock, dsb...

I think you're looking for a short cut, but in this hobby there are NO SHORTCUTS. Do a little research. It's not easy to advise you, because each individual has a different setup. Are you planning on having corals, if yes what type of corals. If you do plan to add corals, you'll need a lighting...

Check out nano tanks on the web- that should give you an idea. My brother has a 6 gallon nano tank with a pc lighting system. He has in it live rock, a deep sand bed, numerous mushrooms, a clown fish, a watchman goby, and a garden eel. After two months everything died, Nitrates and salinity was...

I want to rearrange all the rocks and change up all my corals. I am doing this to make my tank look better and to try to achieve the best structural design for proper water movement and coral placement considering lighting. I want to glue my corals to my rock, I've used epoxy in the past but...

Your problem seems very similar to what I had in the past. My advice would be to probably feed less, since you only do a 10% water change every other week. I usually do a 20 % water change weekly or 10 % water change twice a week. I also was using a wet/dry trickle filter- got rid of that crap...

thanks for the advice jhnrb- I will perform the swithchAroo today.

I just finished building a sump/ refuge ( 29 gallons- biggest size that fits under tank). I plan to replace it with an old refuge ( 20 gallons), because I want more water volume. My question is the following- my current refuge is partitioned in half- one part dsb and the other mud, it also...

A week ago I installed the corallife super skimmer 125 for my 90 gallon reef tank. The manual states in takes 48-72 hours to break in. It's been a week and no waste is visible in the collection cup. I have the dial set so the microbubbles are in the med level of the cone in the collection cup...

I'm looking to buy a new test kit for my water. With so many testing products out there it's hard to choose the right one for your tank. I recently bought a nitrate test becuase my last one ran out. It was horrible, the color patterns go from light pink to dark pink and the range in ppm is not...

Below is a drawing of my plumbing project. (did my best working with paint)Any suggestions to improve my small project would be appreciated. Thank you- djpj

Well I don't think it's poo because it hasn't decomposed yet. It's still looks intacted and hasn't moved from it's spot. I've just left it alone and wait to see what happens.

I believe they are filter feeders- I have three and they seem to be pretty hardy, mine have gone through 2 system over loads. I heard they release toxins when they die which can cause seroius problems, but not really sure

I think these are better pics- the yellow string is still entacted there are no breaks, and it's folded in a circular way. As far as I know none of the fishes have picked on it.

sorry the pic looks like crap it was taken with cell phone. hope this helps..
