well im not so good either. lots of books and looking on computer and asking ?

ya, could be, there is about 10 thousand different ones out there. just keep an eye on it til you know for sure. sometimes its hard to tell what stuff is until its big enough to do harm to stuff you really want

kind of looks like a nem but i dont think its aptasia. they usually have a stem. but it also looks like it encrusting the rock. any way you could break it off the main piece and let it grow.

i have upgraded 3 or 4 times over the yrs. started with a forty, currently on a 265 if you are careful about the move and swish everything around before you move it, have your new water ready, and give your sand a good rinse in the old water before you put it in the new tank, it shouldn't be to...

take out the rock he hides in. put it in clean fresh water. it will come out or die. usually comes out

hey' you belong to the LEARN THE HARD WAY club. i belong to that one too

the bristletooth tangs are very good. i have a kole's tang that never stops. but nothing is going to do a perfect job on the sides of the glass. best bet for thee sides of your tank is a magnet scruber. you can get them for acrylic

green is some kind of algae, the other stuff looks like some kind of sponge

do you know what kind of nem you have. be careful about feeding her. that is a small tank and they can get real big if they are fed well. i have a rose bubbletip that is now the about 16 inches across when she is fully open and she has split 3 times. she and her brood now take up 1/4 of my tank...

yes i think they will. you dont have to get all or any of them. the mandarins are beautiful but i dont think your tank is big enough. in my experiences with them i have managed to kill a few. aparently you can buy them eating fish food and i have done that. but what i have found is once they...

tank looks nice. why are you doseing the tank. you have live rock, live sand, and you have changed 1/2 the water. just let it run. you have to be careful adding chem's. it can cause your algae problem to explode- you are feeding the stuff. do your water testing and let the results tell you if...

buddy, buddy,buddy. you are suffering from saltwater disease already. you have to research what you are going to put in there. that grouper gets to be 3 or 4 feet long and eats whatever fits in her mouth. take it back. unless you are planing on being like me. start with a 40, move to a 75, then...

go get yourself a good book that gives you the basics to get started. THE NEW MARINE AQUARIUM-by Micheal Paletta is a really good starter. any good fish store that sells marine fish supplies test kits and chemicals. if you want online- MARINE DEPOT or BULK REEF SUPPLY are good places for...

go buy yourself a good " how to book". "the new aquarium aquarium-step by step setup and stocking guide" by micheal paletta is really good. it will give you somewhere to start and you can refer back to it as many times as you want. as for the green scum, clean water, good lighting, and being...
