I have had some Green Star Polyps for a while and a little section of them died off because of my Bubble Tip Anemone insisting on being near the polyps. I am wondering how I can speed up the growth of them. I have had them for a while and they haven't really grown much if at all. Is there any...

I have a rather large population of Brittle Worms in my tank and I would like to kill them all. I have a trap but I am finding it rather time tedious and time consuming to capture them. I find that they embed themselves in my rock. So far in the last six months I have managed to capture one...

I have been using Tetra Micro Crabs for years to feed my fish because it is convenient and they seem to love it. I just discovered lately that they no longer produce it. I was wondering if anyone can recommend something comparable. Check out the following site for information on the product...

This is the best picture I can come up with. I suspect that it may be a Chocolate Chip Star. This little guy is probably in the area of about 3 to 4mm in diameter.

Can anyone tell me for sure if this is a Brittle Star or not? I have been stalking these little guys for quite some time and have been documenting what I have seen. I have for you two pictures of their tentacles that protrude out of the rock. I have what appears to be 10 or possibly countless...

Attached you should find photos of some stuff that I have in my tank. One of them is soft coral, the other an anemone and the last is something else that I have no idea what it is. I was hoping that someone could help me identify these creatures. Thanks

I have what I believe to be bristle worms. The one that I have seen is suspected to be quite large and embedded in a rock. I'd assume it's in the area of 12 inches but I am not sure because I have only seen part of it. I would like to get rid of it but I am not sure how. I have done some...

What would be the absolute best type of light to use for coral, anemones and fish? I am looking to buy a replacement lamp for my setup here and I have the following options: 6700K Daylight 6700K/10,000K Daylight 10,000K Daylight 460NM Actinic/10,000K Daylight 460NM Actinic 460NM Actinic/420NM...

I have a 55 gallon tank and I had a 100 gallon skimmer just go out on me and I am looking into getting another one. I was thinking of perhaps getting a 75 gallon skimmer instead. What would be the recommendation? I am looking to get an the best quality replacement skimmer for my tank.

I currently have a 55 gallon tank. I have a couple of fish as well as some mushrooms, green star polyps and a sea anemone. The lighting I have now is 2 dual-bulbs that are approximately 3 feet in length. One of the bulbs is solid white and the other is a white and blue bulb. I am looking to...

There appears to be an excessive amount of dendrite in not only my tank but also in my sump. It has accumulated over a period of time despite the water changes and protein skimmer that is in the tank. I have been unable to siphon it, especially in the sump since it is so low to the ground. Does...

Right now I am using a 16 ounce 2-part bottle of ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer to increase the Corraline Algae in my tank. So far it has been doing a fairly sufficient job. I am wondering if there is perhaps a better brand that I should be getting that would be doing the job better or not. Any...

I have a Fire Shrimp and Cleaner Shrimp in a 55 gallon tank. I have had both of these shrimp for quite a while. I have noticed lately that the antennas on the Cleaner Shrimp are trimmed off very short. I have been wondering if the Fire Shrimp has been picking on the Cleaner Shrimp. I have not...

Anyone happen to know where I can buy a Spotted Cleaner Shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus)? I live in California and I would be more then willing to purchase online. I have looked everywhere but I have been unable to find one.

I just purchased a sea slug and a scallop and I was told that they are filter feeders but I was never told specifically what they eat. Does anyone happen to know what I can feed these guys? I currently feed my fish frozen Mysis shrimp blocks, freeze dried crab granuals and Phyto Feast Phytoplankton.

Anyone happen to know what kind of anemone this is?

I have a huge problem with Red Slime Algae. From the last time I checked, I had a Phosphorus level of approximately 1 ppm. I have recently added Phosban to the water and it did very well at controlling the Green Algae but it did nothing for the Red Slime Algae. I was told that Red Slime Algae is...

Does anyone know of a way that I can remove scratches from an Acrylic fish tank?

I have a bit of a problem with algae so I was looking into a Phosban Reactor but I don't have the room nor do I really have the desire to spend the money on it along with the pump. I was wondering if I could perhaps buy the media, put it in a bag and float it in the sump? Anyone think this would...

Is there any other way of reducing phosphate levels in your tank besides increasing water changes and adding a phosphate reactor?
