I'm looking to buy one new pump for my 28 gal nanocube. Any suggestions?? If it's on Amazon, even better. Also if you've got any tips on how to make this a smooth process...that would be appreciated too! Thanks :)

I put a camel shrimp in my tank yesterday. Saw my clownfish alive and well today, but when I got home he was NOWHERE to be found. Do camel shrimp typically attack fish?? Should I take him out??

I'm having an engineer friend of mine make me a new hood for my 28g jbj nanocube. Is there such a thing as having TOO strong of lights? We're looking at about 150 watts total. Let me know what you think! :)

I just looked at my sand sifting star and he's missing all of his little bristles and it looks like two chucks of him have been bitten out. I have NOTHING in the tank except for him, snails, a tiny hermit crab... everything died about a month or two ago in a heat wave. What's going on...

I found a bristleworm (tiny in width, but I believe he's probably about a foot long) in my FOWLR tank. I saw him creeping out when I put some mysis in the tank, so I grabbed the rock he was in and put it in a bucket of freshwater. Will this kill him? The tank will be for a pair of H...

Is this cyano? Some of the rock is red-ish. This is the new tank I'm cycling. No corals. Not sure what I'm putting in it yet, probably something evil. :evil!?!?:

(Couldn't decide where to put this, feel free to move it to a better location!) I had ONE aiptasia. Just one. I went to the LFS this morning after seeing it last night. I got a peppermint shrimp. I came home, turned on the lights, drip acclimated him for about an hour. I looked in the tank...

Okay to leave in the tank? Will it decompose or just sit there? It's in a tricky spot to get to but I can get it out if it's something I should do. Thanks guys.

I got a pair of nylon bath gloves at Big Lots for $1.50, and TA DA! Perfect for scrubbing film algae off my glass. :) Just thought I'd share the tip for those of you who like to keep your lights on for longer than necessary, but hate that green film algae on your glass. It worked 10...

One of the reef stores I go to has a great guy who's very helpful and always gives me sweet deals on corals and livestock. He's only open Fri/Sat and doesn't have a huge selection (he focuses more on tank installation) but I've gotten a torch coral, diamond goby, and (today!) a red linkia...

My water seems clear but the surface of the water has a film of what seems to be sand particles on it. Is this normal? I have sugar fine sand and a diamond goby who likes to stir it all up, could it be that just the finest particles of sand float to the top? Is there a way to fix this or...

Hey folks. My tank has been doing splendidly and I've decided it is time to take on a new challenge! I'd like to get an anemone for my false percula clown. My nitrates are steadily at zero, I have no problems with pests or bad algae, my corals are healthy, and my fish all get along...

I got one as an impulse buy, then I discovered how useful cleaner shrimp can be. :/ Does my coral branded shrimp do anything for the tank?? He appears to just hide in the back all day/night. Is it true that you can't have different kinds of shrimp in one tank? It's a 28 gal nano cube...

They are about the size of the fingernail on my pinky. They look like slugs, they have mouthes and little antennae, but they appear to have a soft shell that almost looks like a fingernail. Suddenly I just saw like five on my tank wall, and it's making me nervous... I also have like...

Good News: my clowns get along now. YAY! Bad News: My girl clown is trying to HOST the LR and has ended up with little black/brown marks all over her body. :( Called the LFS, they said that clowns are just dumb and to come in and get a coral she can host. Very annoyed with this. What are some...

I have a yellow-tail blue damsel currently in my tank and I'm going to add my new pair of percula clowns in a little while. The damsel is a scaredy-fish and hides behind the LR about 95% of the time. Is he likely to pick on my clowns, or leave them alone? Just curious. If he shows any sign of...

My tank! Just added another piece of rock. First one on the left. This time imported from Indonesia. Has some nice coralline algae on it. :) My crab. Not sure what he is. Another picture I took of my crab. He likes to hide, this is a rare occurrence.

Hi fishy friends. I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I found what seems to be a pretty good deal on a tank on craigslist. Salt Water Fish Tank He posted this a couple weeks ago and he still has the tank available and he said he needs it gone ASAP, so I figure I might be able to...

Hi there! My name is Laura, and I'm new to salt water aquariums. I've only ever had freshwater in the past, and I was always fascinated by the different kinds of species and corals you can have in a saltwater tank versus freshwater creatures/plants. So I'm finally on my way to having my own...

Does they need any kind of special food, or will they scavenge enough to get fed on their own? I bought some crab pellets that said hermit crabs/fiddler crabs and put a couple pellets in there, but I'm just curious if they needs those or not. I have one small blue/yellow damsel, one little...
