I see some familiar names still here. I have been gone but everything has been going fairly well tank wise. Except for this I just read the previous algae thread. I don't know what bryopsis is, but I have a serious problem with green algae that looks like hair. I have pulled out good sized...

I was wondering what kind(brand) tests are considered most accurate. there are so many brands, with pretty wide price differences. Any suggestions?

Help! Everything has been going fairly well so far, but I now have a gross algae problem. This stuff started on the sand and is spreading to the rocks. It is basically reddish, and appears slightly opaque. as it grows, it is getting little strands and is getting thicker. What is this stuff and...

Is it normal for your fish to attack you? I bought a bi-color blenny last night, and decided to rearrange things, lights out, etc to help him get acclimated by throwing a wrench in to everyone's territories. My cinnamon clown and blue damsel were agitated and hit my hand a few times as I was...

has anyone removed a sally lightfoot crab from a tank without destroying the tank? I want to move it out before it causes a problem, but I'm thinking I need to trap it somehow. any suggestions?

Does anyone have some experience or insight here? I looked @ a couple fish last night while buying some snails. A flame and a coral beauty angel, also a flame hawkfish and a redspotted hawkfish. I have heard the coral beauty will lose some color or contrast. The flame is beautiful, but also...

another new kid question........has anyone ever bought any of the Dr.Foster & Smith cultured, fully cured live rock? The price ain't bad, $129 for 20#, and I pay $7 to $9 per pound around here, when it looks good enough to buy.

I have another question, different subject.... I am looking at 2 setups, a Satellite 4x65w pc (model 1016) and an Orbit with identical setup, 4x65w( model 1024). The only difference I see from specs is the Orbit is 6 lbs. heavier, 1" wider, has 4 moonlights vs. 2 for the Satellite and is $38...

last night I got a fish that was billed as a "scooter Blenny" but when at home, and comparing in my books, it is really a dragonet. The book rates it as hard to feed, and I don't want to have to baster feed a fish. It's just not going to happen. Any thoughts or experience on caring for this...

I'm new to this forum, I have a fairly new saltwater tank, have had freshwater for 25+years. problem: got a 6 line wrasse Sun. 2-10. Next day noticed a few spots. looked like Ich. Quarantined him, treated with Mardel Coppersafe. Within 36 hrs., it looked like he was in a see-through, very...
