I got a new blenny last weekend. They said it was a midas blenny but upon further research i cant find another fish that looks like this. its definitely a blenny of some type but does anyone have any more info than that. its body is mostly black with some blue markings on its face.

I got some new live rock in hopes of turning the bioball nitrate factory in the second chamber of my biocube 29 into a refugeum. The guy i got the rock from is a good friend of mine that actually has a really nice reef setup but thats not what im here for. lol after inspecting his tank closely...

I had questioned the accuracy of my liquid test kit because of the fact it was a couple years old so finally today i went out and bought a new one. I had noticed a few issues in my tank that signaled that there was a problem. First my zoa frags that i got one of them has not been opened in about...

OK OK i know i have been posting alot of basically useless ID threads lately but this one is kinda odd and when i see something in my tank i didnt put there it kinda scares me. lol so anyway i have been mysteriously been finding what i am pretty sure are dead hermit crabs in my tank. but heres...

Ok so seems how my new frags are finally opening far enough to actually see and i happen to love taking pics of them i would like to see if anyone can identify the type they are. im not really not knowledgeable of all the zoa names so heres a few pics. for those who have not seen my last thread...

i just got a new conch from my LFS and when i pulled the bag out i found this little guy in there with it. im not really sure if its a SW bug or not it kinda looks like a general beetle but it wasnt actually in the water. the LFS double bags everything and it was in between the two bags. so it...

so after taking my plunge back into the SW world i have purchased my first coral frag its a zoa. some of you may have seen my other post in the coral section. it has been about 4-5 days since i bought it and the polyps have still not fully opened but everyday they keep opening further and...

so a couple of days ago i decided to take the next step with my sw tank and get a coral. I went down to a trusted LFS and bought a little zoa frag with two types of zoas on it and about 5-10 polyps on it. i drip acclimated them for about 30min and set them high in the tank. despite what my...

someone on the local craigslist ads just posted a 165 for free! i am looking to upgrade but does anyone know the dimensions of the tank? all the calculators i found are for volume not the actual dimensions of the tank.

what are these things? the biggest ones are about 1/8th in but i have alot of them. when i use scotch brite on them they come off kinda powdery and i can also use a razorblade to get them off easily but what should i do to get rid of them?

im not really sure what type of algae this is it looks dark purple in my dt and this is the only rock it is on and there are only the three spots shown. i have not tried to touch it but it looks rather poofy. (kinda thick) should i try to get rid of it or will it be fine?

i have a true perc and an onyx perc that i was hoping would pair. i purchased them when the were both juvinile and had been kept together when purchased. for the first months there was some chasing done and would usually end in the onyx submitting to the true. however lately i have noticed they...

i figured i should make a thread about my aquarium because of recent confusion. my tank is supplied by red lobster (dont ask how i got it, LONG story) and it is made for lobster breeding. i drew up a sketch of how the tank is laid out. originally it had a undergravel filter and there is three...

how much flow would be recommended for shrooms and anemones? and maybe a green polyp leather? i have my tank with the poverheads circulating about 7 times an hour with three power heads and my filter is about 900gph

what is this thing? it looks like some sort of snail but not really sure if i should keep it or throw it out. i have a fighting conch that looks similar and has been buried in the sand for about a month now. (i have heard they bury themselves when they lay eggs) but they also bury themselves to...
