I've had these acans for a while now, and until now they have been doing great. Now, however, the adult heads aren't opening, but the babies look fine. Has this ever happened to anyone? They are under 250w halides, towards the bottom of the tank, and as far as I know, nothing has picked at them...

Next week, I'm going on vacation for a week, and the only person who we can find that will take care of our pets has no idea what to do for my tank...the tank is automated other than water changes and feeding, and it can definitely go a week without a water change, but as for feeding, the last...

I'm setting up a 5.5 AIO, and the piece of acrylic I'm using for the divider is clear. It's not the end of the world if it stays like this, I'll probably end up stacking rock against it anyways, but is there any paint that would be safe to use, so that it would be black?

So yesterday, this acro looked the same as usual, then I wake up this morning to find it like this: I'm assuming it's dead? All my other acros look fine, but is it contagious/could it happen to my other acros? It's under a 250w halide, water params are: nitrate: 0 pH: 8.2 calc: 425 mag: 1400...

Well, right now I only have 4 fish in my 90. They are a falco hawk, kole tang, and a pair of maroon clowns. Previously I had a school of 5 chromis, but they all died within a couple days of eachother after being in the tank for months. Obviously, not the nicest group of fishes, and I can't think...

This acro has been closed up for days, and just now I'm noticing these little orange dots on my acro. When magnified they look like little tiny amphipods, but bright orange. Thanks in advance!

I've had this crocea for a couple months now, and until now its been doing great, great mantle extension and some growth, but now he has jumped from where he was, and it looks like the threads that he used to attach himself with are lying on the sand next to him. I'm not aware of anything that...

I have 6 blue/green chromis in my tank...All of them were eating well and acting totally normal yesterday, but today one of them is in the corner of the tank not moving a whole lot. He looks totally normal, other than a tiny little cut in his dorsal fin, though I doubt that has anything to do...

I'm going to be needing new bulbs for my metal halides...They're 250w double ended, Tell me what you recommend and why. For color temperature, I'm stuck between 14000k and 20000k, I'm fine going either way. The cost isn't a huge factor

I do believe I've gone nuts...I'm gonna try and make something similar to the reef flat of a big barrier reef...in a 10 gallon tank. The thing about the reef flat is it's super harsh, the waves crashing over, all that sun...and the tides...which makes the tops of corals stick out of the water...

There are little tiny tufts of purple/pink fuzz on one of the cords to a power head. It's kinda hard to describe, but it looks like the polyps of a mille, with the flow off...as said it's bright purple/pink...will post some pics later, but wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Anyone have any experience with these? they had a nice looking one at my LFS, but I know literally nothing about them, and I can't find anything about them online.

My tang has been doing this all day...never done it before. Is he trying to attack his reflection?

So I'm a freshman in high school, and I had to give up my paper route, so I'm not gonna have much time or cash, but I'll give it a shot anyways :^: Hopefully ordering the tank soon :mrgreen:

So, I've got this little zoa colony, and this thing has been to hell and back. Right now may be the worst though. It's got about 3-4 tiny (size of my monti's polyps) aiptasia growing on it. They're so small, I probably couldn't stab them with a syringe, and obviously a sautering iron would just...

So, a couple weeks ago, I got my first SPS...a montipora digi. All was going honky dory until now...it seems that the base of the coral has no polyp extension, and my only guess why would be that the rest of the coral is shading it? Also, on the base of it, there is a little black stub that I...

Simple as that, there are amphipods eating my zoas...the polyps almost look hollow, every night I look with a red flashlight, and they were swarming this one colony...I have to go now, but will get a pic later. Any experience with this?

none of my research said whether or not they do, and I don't like the look of the eggcrate on my reef, so I was wondering if I needed it, as I just picked one up today.

Well, they're so tiny that I can't get a pic, but on the fleshy part of my hammer, just below the head itself, there are these little studs that are really really small, like just barely bigger than the tip of a pencil, that have what looks to be the same skeleton as a dead LPS, but it is...

These have been growing all over my weir, couldn't get a pic of those though. This one is in my sump. What is it, and is it good, bad, or is it just one of those things?
