is melamine a good panel to put on fish tank stands?

hey everybody, long time no post! I am going to be rescaping my tank with rods and making it a really great aquascape. In doing so I want to remove all the rocks and I want to siphon out all the sand, put my new aquascaped rock back in place and then put the rinsed out sand back around the...

I have not seen my longfin fairy wrasse at all tonight, even when I fed the fish. This is really unusual. Could he be hiding or could he have died and is stuck in the rocks? I have a screen on the top of my tank.

Just got a flame angelfish and a yellowhead jawfish. The flame angelfish is very active, moving inside and out of the rocks and all over the tank. The jawfish swam straight into the rockwork and I haven't seen him at all, even when I fed the fish. How long to you think it will take until I see...

I found my longfin fairy wrasse in the sump just a little while ago. Lucky for him I didn't have my filter sock in. I put him back in the MT and he seams a bit tromatized. He is hiding underneath my donut coral. Will he be ok? I have a screened top on my tank and he must have tried to jump and...

Hey all, The past month has been kind of upsetting in my tank. At one point I had the following in my tank: 2 ocelleros clownfish 1 royal gramma 1 yellowtail damsel 1 multicolor angelfish This was also the order in which I stocked my tank over 5 months. I took my time in adding all of them...

I got a new yellow watchmen goby today and after acclimating him for an hour and being in my tank for 2 hours now he is swimming high in my tank and just resting on the fins of my overflow. I have moved him 2 times away from it but he eventually swims back up to it. Now he is going back and...

My leather toadstool is not getting big when my lights come on anymore. It used to shrivel up at night and during the day get big but now it is just staying small. What is wrong?

I have 2 ocelleros clownfish right now. 1 of them is aggressive towards everything and the other is peaceful. If I were to remove the aggressive one and leave the peaceful one in there by itself will it's temperament change?

Do emerald crabs nip at fish if they get to close?

I heard a loud noise a couple of nights ago and am thinking it is a pistol shrimp. How often do they normally do that? I am not even sure if I have one.

My multicolor angelfish died. It was my favorite fish. I had it for about 1 month, was doing great with all the other tankmates, swimming around constantly and never nibbled at any of my corals. Just within the past couple of days one of my clownfishes was bullying it whenever it saw it. I got...

My clownfish is bulling my multicolor angel for the first time ever and I have seen him do it now about 10 times. My angelfish is almost outside of the rocks but now when he comes out the clownfish goes right over and tries to attack him. Also, my angelfish has a white dot on it's eye and it...

About 5 days ago I noticed that my small yellowtail damsel was missing. I haven't seen him since. Just last night I heard a loud snapping noise and it freaked me out, I thought maybe the glass cracked or my stand broke. I have 2 ocelleros clowns, 1 royal gramma, and 1 multicolor angelfish. They...

What are these things? Also, is that just regular hair algae, and if so should I just pull it out of the sand?

I also just found a long arm, maybe 1 inch in length and as skinny as a needle, it has what looks like brown stripes (not sure) on it. it is coming out of a little cave about the size of a pencil and there might be other arms, it is hard to see. I cannot take a picture because it is right...

I have found about 10 very small anemonie looking things. Their base is about the size of a tip of a needle, they have about 10 arms and when fully extended it has a diameter of about 1/4 inch. They are clear in color.

my astrea snails are getting spikes on their shells and I do not know why, also a couple of them are growing their shells but it looks unbalanced, like the growth is not even. Anybody know why? and is this good or bad?

I have the Reef Octopus NWB 110 skimmer and on the side it says minimum water level and maximum water level, only thing is, is that there are bubbles everywhere and I'm not exactly sure where the actually water level is. Is there a way to know for sure, lol?

I just saw what I thought was a big worm coming out of a live rock with the lights off. It was probably 2-3 inches long! When I shined a flashlight at it it went back into the rock pretty quickly. What the heck is this and is it bad?
