I got a piece of Finger Leather from a friend but I can not figure out how to keep it stationary in my tank. Everywhere I try to put it, it ends up fall out or floating away. Any ideas on how I can put it in my tank? I also got a mushroom polyp that is not connected to anything. How do I get it...

I have a nanocube and already have a peppermint shrimp in it. My question is would it be ok to add a different kind of shrimp and how many could go in the tank peacefully? Would a coral bandit or cleaner shrimp be a good canidate? And a question about feeding mysis shrimp. How often should I...

I have two different kinds of food and I was wondering if it would be fine to switch back and forth between dry flakes and frozen mysis shrimp? Variety for the fish.:sfish:

I bought a plug of zoanthids from the LFS and they are doing great. Nice looking and very bright. The only problem I am having with them is that when the light goes off and I look at them in the morning the plug has been pushed off of the rock somehow. I don't know what could be doing this. I...

How often do I have to do water changes? How much do I have to change out? I have a 12g nano. Thanks

I got a feather duster and put him in my tank today. He has already came out of his tube. ALL of him. I have read that he will grow a new one, Is this true? Is there any action that I should take right now? Thank You!

I am thinking of ordering a clean up crew and came across some custom built ideas. One told me that I need to get 20 Dwarf ceriths - (I know it sounds like a lot, but they are small) 5 Nassarius Vibex 5 Florida ceriths for my 12g. How does this sound? I already have 4 hermits and 2 snails...

Any thoughts on ordering fish and inverts off of the internet? Do they arrive alive most of the time? Any popular sites that seem to work well? Thanks for the help!!!

Would it be fine to put a Goby into my 12g? I was thinking of putting 2 Gobys, a couple shrimp, a clean up crew, and some soft coral in the tank. Is this too much? Any thoughts? Thank you.

How long should I run the lights for one day in my 12g aquapod? My temperature is running at about 78. Is this too high? How can I get it to come down?

I got a small frag of Pulsating Xenia from a friend. I placed it in my tank and it seems to be "laying" down. Is this normal behavior? Can I expect it to perk up?

I am in my last weeks of cycling and I just got a hold of some more live rock. The live rock came from a friends tank who sold me my tank. So I made some switches in my tank. So I have a couple of questions. How should I store extra live rock? Now that I changed the live rock, does the cycle...

Im in the second week of my cycle process and I have a pink growth on my rocks. I assume this is good. Does this mean that my cycle is doing what it is suppose to do? ANd what exactly is the growth? Algae? Thanks in advance.

I have a 12 gal aquapod and I'm not sure how I should point my water pumps (im not sure what they are called but they return the water to the aquarium after being filtered). I had them pointed out straight but that caused some of the sand on the opposite side of the tank to be blown away. I now...

I am about a week into cycling and I have a damsel in my aquarium to help facilitate the process. I have a 12g aquapod. About how long does the cycle take before I can start to add more fish/invertebrates/coral? Is there anything in particular I should do during the wait? Thanks for the help.

Hello. I was just wondering how much coral can I put into my 12g aquapod? Is there no limit? Also, if I find a coral picture on the internet or find a type that I liked, could I ask the aquariums around me to order a specific type? Another thing, does anyone know what kind of coral usually has...
