My tank was loaded with pods and mysis shrimp. I got a green/target mandarin about a month ago and I can not find anymore pods in my tank or HOB refigum. I am not sure if they are all gone. My mandarin does eat frozen food so I am not that worried. I am just amazed on how much this little guy...

Just got it two days ago. I will post better pics once I get my hands on a good camera. I will post a review after a few weeks of using it.

A few pics of my new fish before he went into hiding for the day. They are not the best, new ones will be posted soon.

Pics were taken with my crappy Nintendo DSi, sorry about the poor quality. Just got my metal halide 150W 15000K with 2 T5HO actinic, one is not working now. It is ok, aquatraders.com is sending me a whole new fixture. A few pictures of my tank and the new light.

Hello, I was moving a rock in my tank today and when I picked it up I saw this..the thing in the red circle in the 3 pictures below. It is like a leech, or a slug, or something very flat that moves with rhythmic waves along its. It is like a purplish gray with small spots. Is it friend or foe...

What is this? The pinkish colored thing. Here are two pictures. Thanks!

I was looking in my tank this morning and saw about 20 very small, maybe a 1/4 inch long creatures. They have, what seems to be, many legs like a centipede, two small antennas and the body has very small segments, They move (crawl) around very quickly. They are on my live rocks, corals, and...

Just like the title says how long and what medicine do you use to dip or quarintine new fish before you put them into your DT? Just asking so I can get a good idea, be ready and educated before I get new fish since all of mine either died or are dying from ick and being put into a QT tank. I am...

Hello, I have an ick problem. I purchased Super Ick Cure made by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals (API) from something fishy in Northampton, PA. They recommended this over the copper they were selling, they said they use it in their store, it is cheaper then the copper so I do not think it was...

Hello, I have a 29 gallon Biocube with the stock hood and PC lights. I am going to upgrade to a metal halide system from aquatraders.com. I was wondering which I should choose, the Odyssea MH 24" 250W DE HQI 15000K bulb with 4x dual blue moon LEDs, or Odyssea MH 24" 250W DE HQI 15000K bulb...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this algae. I bought a piece of live rock a few months ago from my LFS. (who I recently found out is a jerk liar and only cares about making a buck) When I bought the LR this algae was barely present and the LFS told me it was some type of...

Like the title says how do I get rid of ich if I do not have enough money to set up a quarantine tank? Can anything else get ich like corals and inverts? How do I even set up a quarantine tank? Another light, protein skimmer, heater, power head, live rock, and sand? Thank you for your replies...

Hello everyone, I am still getting in the groove of saltwater. The owner of a LFS who has been in the saltwater business for over 35 years told me it would be ok to keep a black percula and a pink skunk clown together in my 29 gallon Biocube. He said they may fight but since they are both...

Hello everyone, I have a question, how can my nitrites be 0 ppm (mg/L) and my nitrates be around 40 ppm (mg/L) Does that make any sense? I have had my tank for close to a month now. Is this normal or harmful? Thank you in advance for any input.

Im wondering how long can soft corals stay in the bag he fish store?

Hello everyone my name is Steven. I am planning on setting up a 29 gallon saltwater tank asap. I had a tank years ago, but I am rusty and have been out of the game for a while. I found this forum and it seemed very informational and the people seemed very nice. I decided to join and get as much...
