over a month ago we had our beloved, Laudie the Dispar Anthia die. I'm wondering if anyone could help me figure out why as I am going to get a new anthia tomorrow. I always saw him eating. His belly wasn't disfugured/shrank/skinny. He swam about all the time and was colorful. We have 2...

it's been a long time since I've been on here, but we are getting a new fish shipment for my hubby's bday this weekend. Our 90 is 9 months old now and we've been itching for new fish for months...it's finally the right time, too...since we'll be home and not dealing with holidays galore. So...

Does algae growth on the hydrometer effect the salinity reading? And how much? I have just a hang on the side type. I have tried to remove the hydrometer and wash the algae off, but now there is a teensy starfish that we found and I don't want it to die. I can't figure out a way to get...

I'm just wondering how fast some of the fish I have should grow. I have an anthia, clownfish, goby, 6line, 2 green chromis. The Nemo has grown a lot since we got him in April...I'd guess he has almost doubled. The 6line has gotten plumper, too. And both chromis were teeny when we bought...

I went and tried to find pictures of what I have in my tank as it is teeny tiny and I'll never get a pic as it is inside of a rock. I believe it to be a tiger tail cucumber of a hitchhiker. What about how it emits poison if bother. I understand it is excellent to have for DSBs as we do have...

I like the neon striped goby and wrasse? I like the look of the wrasse (right) a little more, but the only info on the website is that it's expert only. Anyone know why?

The picture isn't too clear: it's growing off of the live rock, branching, reddish. Is it some kind of coral or algae? nobody in there seems to eat it or even bother it...so is it good or bad?

We got our lights a few days ago...and I've been doing my research. & Decided to get some corals, and cross into the wacky world of being a coral reefer! I got these tiny frags for beginners...I'm a start small kind of gal, I guess. My new zoos... won't be stickin my hand on them any...

we bought a new test kit and levels were all at 0...so Joe aquascaped: and then I aquascaped, and then he aquascaped again. I don't really like his setup, and he didn't really like mine...but he already added our chromis to start the next mini cycle, as I understand should happen afterwards...

So, we have finally started adding Live Rock to our new 90. We got around 50 lbs. yesterday. Only one of the pieces is covered in the coraline algae that is so pretty...but the other rocks are really neat shapes. One big one makes a nice cave and two other ones look like skulls...I really...

so, we ordered live sand...should be in a few days. we ordered several kinds wanting to layer the sand so the pink is on top. currently we have freshwater running through our new 90 with sump and everything working. 1. do we make saltwater in the tank and then add the sand...or add the...

So, I am wanting to get a powder brown tang for our 90 gal...which is in the process of being setup. A LFS has them on sale for only $25 bucks...but it would have to live in our 30 gal for prob. 2 months or so. I don't know the current size of the fish....would a small tang be okay in our...

So, Joe went to a new LFS told the guy the we had a 90g. The guy said..."here's the one you want" and bought the MegaFlow sump. I'm setting it up this afternoon and see a big sticker: for tanks up to 75 g. He says questions the trouble of returning it for the proper size. Is he right?

Here's what I'm trying to do...find out what type of light is best for us. We are starting a 90g standard 48x 18x 24. We will have coral, fish, and other inverts. Is the Nova Extreme T5 fixture with Lunar the best choice for us? and is 216watts the right choice...

I'm pretty sure that our first fd is dead....haven't seen it in months and we rarely saw it when it was alive. So far we've left the tube in there...should we take it out b/c I don't really see any harm in it. We have another small feather duster that was always out and pink and pretty...

We have a blue linkia starfish in our tank. We had this current "Peggy" for 3 months now, which I'm very happy about since she is our 3rd attempt. The first one died and, the 2nd one was recieved with a gouge in her leg which slowly ate away all of her legs. So, Peggy seems to be doing very...

Hello Reefers! I registered awhile ago, but am just getting a chance to get into the site...sometimes being a mom to 3 kids, 3 fish, 1 starfish, 17 crabs, and 11 snails can be demanding. I've been reading saltwater books like crazy in my free time because I'm kind of taking over the hobby my...
