Hey guys/gals What is the best way to remove a crocea clam that is attached to a rock? Thanks.

Purchased a few acans and a ring of fire brain This peice is going to be really nice when it grows out

My blue tang will not eat algae sheets off the clip. He is eating meaty foods like a champ but can't get him to eat algae. I have had him for about 3 weeks and I am getting worried about his health because the lack of algae.

I have this rather slow growing brown algae on my liverock. After doing some research it looks like brown wafer algae, but it hasn't "scrolled" yet. Here are some pics, what do you think? Also, what are your experiences with this algae? Sounds like some nasty stuff.

Do you guys/gals ever notice that your snails just randomly die? From time to time I have noticed a snail shell or two that is empty or a snail that has falling from the glass and was unable to upright itself and eventually gets eaten by the CUC. I am wondering if this is normal because I have...

It is inevitable that we will all encouter problems in this hobby. Some worse than others but it is bound to happen. The purpose of this thread is for everyone to share the problems that are going on in their tank and to share what you are doing to overcome those problems. This may be useful to...

Has anyone dosed thier make up water with calcium, alk, mag, before doing a water change? A local guy has been doing this with good results. He will mix up the saltwater and used 3-part to raise the levels to where he wants it. By doing this, he says it easier to maintain the levels between...

I believe this algae is called "Y" branching algae. It is taking over my overflow. I have to clean the grates every couple days. Right now, it is only on the overflow box but I am afraid of it spreading onto my rocks, taking over my SPS tank. I have fairly pristine water and this is the only...

Edit: Mods, would you please move this to the right section. Thanks. While cleaning my return pump I managed to break the impeller shaft. No one in town has a replacement. The quickest I can get a new impeller will probably be in 5 to 7 days. My dilema is, is that I might be skimmerless...

I am looking for a new fixture for my 10 gallon. I am leaning towards PC's because of them being the most popular for a 10 gallon. Any recomendations? Thanks.

I am having trouble with the coloration of my SPS. When I add a new peice to my tank they will retain their color but within two weeks they lighten in color, not necesarly bleach out. This not only happens to my SPS but any other LPS that I have. I have the Aquatinics TX5 (5 bulb individual...

It is whitish with red eyes. It's probably 1.5 inches. I didn't add it to the tank, it is a hitchiker.

Does anyone have experience with these auto top offs? Any good? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4680+13959&pcatid=13959 Thanks.

I just hooked up my new RO/DI. I got it from Buckeye Supply. It is the 75gpd Premium 4 stage. It produced Zero TDS right out of the box:bounce: I recommend this unit.

And the best part.... It was free:bounce:

Here is my latest addition. I love how vibrant the green polyps are.

My SS has stopped working. I pulled the pump out of the tank and cleaned it and re-installed the impeller. I pluged it back in and the impeller wouldn't budge. I took off the cover and pushed around the impellar and then it would spin, but when I put the cover back on the impellar didn't budge...

I finally got some new bulbs for my T5 fixture. I went with (3) ATI Blue Plus's (1) UVL 75/25 (1) ATI Aquablue special. Overall I am happy with this combo but it is going to take some time to get use to compared to my old bulbs. It's got an extreme 20,000k look. I may make some changes. We'll see.

Well, I HAD a case of planaria flatworms and I dosed my tank today with Flatworm Exit. There were only about 100 flatworms that were visable but I thought it would be best to take care of it now before it became a huge problem. Here is how I handled it: - Got 15 gallons of saltwater ready...
