I meant "GPS vs zoas". Once upon a time I had zoas downstream of GPS and the zoanthids all died. The zoas had been thriving for over a year until the GPS came near. Maybe the zoas died for some other reason. Can they live together?

Got two clowns from Dr Mac's about 3 or 4 years ago (for $25) and they always got along until about 6 months ago. Now they constantly fight with each other, nipping and bullying each other. Have they been married too long? The smaller one stands his ground against the larger. They also rub...

Bought a very small maxima clam and the LFS guy ( a very good LFS) said the baby clams can't live completely off light yet so feed them something like phyto-feast. Now I got gold/brown cyano on the sand? Connected? Can the baby clam live without phyto-feast? I baste the heck out of my tank and...

My cheato used to grow thick and I would cut it back big time but in the last month or so it has shrunk to almost nothing. I have a 20G long with a HOB 3G fuge. I have advised others that they need strong light and flow to make cheato grow. I have 2 lights on my fuge. One bulb did in fact get...

My green mushrooms are shriveled all day. My purple, red and candy stripe shrooms are fine as is everything else in my tank. Why? Could the GPS be causing this? New lighting?

What eats green hair algae the best?

I put a small bag of phosban in my fuge in an area of good flow and it seems to help. I change it every 3 weeks. Got a 3G fuge filled with mostly cheato and strong light and flow. Cheato grows like crazy. Even with the bag in, I never saw the green hair algae die back completely. I took a...

who wins? Should I keep'em separated? I once saw a GPS kill a Favia. They can sting!

My local reef club had a swap meet at a school yesterday and it was awesome. Many vendors, including Pacific East Aquaculture (Dr Mac) and individuals were there with those wide, low lying plexiglass tanks with rows and rows of frags, clams & stuff and at cheap prices. Never seen anything like...

Every bit of rock in my tank was coated with pink coralline and after I put a MH over it much of it died back. Same exact thing happened with my BC29. When coralline dies, it turns white of course but now a few months later the white is turning to a grayish blue color in some places. What are...

I know people have ridiculed the knowledge of petco employees on marine tanks BUT I may just give them a try. They have good prices and hard to find corals like purple deaths and bright red mushrooms. It appears their supplier is A&M aquatics.

My Coral banded Shrimp crawled into a fan type powerhead about a month ago and it clipped off all his antennae and one of his claws. Its amazing how fast he grew the claw back. Do all shrimps grow limbs back so fast

This is the hairiest Snail I ever saw. How can I get it off him?

Got way too many green mushrooms. Want to trade 3 to 6 for another color.

For a long time my clowns have been nipping at my hands and I've tried flicking my fingers at them with limited success, I finally figured out a way to keep them from coming near my hand. Put a net between them and my hands --duh.

Maroon clown peacefully hosting a nice Maxima clam for over a year. $10 Pajama Cardinal that won't die. $10 Big Blue Maxima clam attached to big rock weighing at least 5 pounds. $80. From Dr Mac's and been in my tank since March 2010. I think its quadrupuled in size in that time. This must...

I have a beautiful maxima clam (its grown 5 fold since I got it for $25) , corals, fish and feather dusters and a ton of smaller livestock. With the rta and colonial hydroids, I don't if anybody would want it and I am not the kind of person that could flush it all. Although I have killed just...

I've had three tanks now and each time I saw anemic growth of my cheato. I tried many different lights (CPL 40 watts, 5000K 15 watts, LEDs, etc.) but these seem to cause very rapid growth. There is a halogen and a xenon version. I had three lights on my cheato but the moment I put one of these...
