I've found these hanging out on the glass, back wall and on top of the sand. Can anybody confirm if they are nassarius snail babies? You can see them in the corner and around the return. Thanks

Lately I have been plucking these little green things out of my sand. They have 5 or so long arms that stick out of the sand, They anchor themselves about a quarter inch under the sand. I cant tell if they are just algae or actual creatures. I would like some help identifying them and if I need...

If I put dry rock rubble in the second chamber will it become live after a while or does it need to be live before it goes back there? Thanks

I would like to get something blue for my tank. Someting small (stays small) and easy to care for of course. I guess any bright color would do. Or do you think the tank is stocked enough allready. Any suggestions? I have the 14 gallon BC with two clowns and the normal cuc. Here is a vid of the...

Does anybody re-use their water after water changes. I've been watering a planter full of Vincas with my dirty tank water for the last 4 months and the plants dont seem to mind at all (vincas are pretty hardcore though) . Granted my water changes are pretty minuscule compared to most here, just...

Hey all I changed my sand from white to black. Also figured I would show the progression of my tank from the point I took ownership of it till now. I've had the tank about 8 months now. The aquascape is still a work in progress. I plan on adding some dry rock in the next month or so. Please feel...

Hi all. my tank and fish have been pretty healthy. But I've been in a battle with diatomes on my sand and green film on my glass. I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that the brown sand issue is diatomes and the green glass is just normal stuff but it shows up really fast. I can...

The coraline algae in my tank goes about 3/4 of the way up the back wall of my biocube then just stops. I'm assuming its the angle of the lighting. Does that sound right? Does any body have any suggestions on how to get it to cover the wall completely?

Hey all I am looking for a small heater to fit in the back chamber of my biocube 14. The current heater (Petco 50w) is to big to fit back there. I'm trying to keep it out of the display area. Any suggestion would be appreciated. TIA

So I took the bio balls out of my bio cube. It seems that since then i have developed this redish/brown stuff that sits on the top of the sand. I just kind of put 2 & 2 together and realized that the redish/brown stuff started showing up the same time i removed the last of the bio balls. Do you...

Hey all I got some video of another critter coming out of the live rock. There are quite a few of these. I thought they might be brittle star tentacles but now I'm not sure after watching some other vids on yourtube. I never see the whole critter just the arms/tentacles. As allways TIA. Critter...

So I finally got a little video of a white/pinkish tentacle stretching out to get a treat. Please let me know if you know what it is. TIA Tank Critters - YouTube

Heres a little video of my Biocube. This is the first video I shot of the tank. I used a FLip video device. I think it works pretty good and way better than taking pics, at least with my camera and photo skills. Can anyone tell me what the reddish brown staining is on the sand?

I've decided to get a Peppermint shrimp to battle my growing Aiptasia problem. My local Petco has them in stock. I'm just wondering what i should look out for if anything? TIA

Hey all, can a tank be to clean? My tank seems to be pretty clean and algea free these days. Will the crabs and snails ever run out of stuff to eat? TIA

So I was doing some work around the house today and had my volt meter in my hand which also has a temp probe on it. Well I clean it off and stick the probe in and it reads 88*. The color gauge that is stuck on the side of the tank reads 80*. I tested the probe out to make sure its reading right...

Hey all I'm really starting to enjoy this hobby. I think I've got my tank stabilized and running pretty good. I feel that I need some more color, maybe something yellow. I dont think I want another fish but I would be open to any suggestions. It needs to be inexpesive and hardy maybe even...

Hey all I have a chunk of rock in my tank with some vermatid snails and aptasia. I'm not a fan of the snails and the Aptasia just wont go away. I've dosed it 4 times now with AptasiaX and it comes back every time and gets pretty big in about 4 days. I'm seeing several little aptasia around the...

I noticed a small flowery red growth on the tip of some live rock. Can anyone let me know what it might it be? TIA

Hi all back with more questions. I am getting more comfortable and confident with the tank thanks to all of your help. So I really appreciate it. I did a water change today and also cleaned the sponge filter, cartridge filter and had a look around where the bio balls are. There is a lot of gunk...
