I have a toadstool that I purchased about a month ago and I am seeing some really great growth. It's base is about the diameter of a roll of quarters. My concern is that it is attached to a small piece of rock rubble. Its not nearly large enough to weigh it down anymore. I have picked a perfect...

I am looking at adding a few new additions to my tank. First off I should mention I already have an algae blenny. The two fish I am thinking of adding consist of 1 diamond watchman goby (with pistol shrimp eventually) and the second is an engineer goby. I know two gobys shouldnt be together but...

My main question is what exactly does an algae scrubber help with. I understand that it grows algae but does that also mean it prevents it from forming in th DT? Personally I would think that it just developed a new place for it to group rather than eliminate it from the display tank. Any help...

I am looking at building my own LED fixture however I am curious how much wattage it should have. Its a standard 55 gallon tank and I am thinking I'll be adding corals later. Currently I have a T5 fixture that houses 4 54 watt bulbs (2 actinic and 2 10k) for a total of 216 watts witch seems...

Ok, So my tank is aproxamately 6 months running and I have been fighting diatoms. A lot of diatoms! I was told that it may be due to high phosphates so, as recomended, I started using distilled water for my water changes. It seems as though the diatoms have not reduced in the slightest bit. I...

I have a condy anemone that I've had for about a month. He has been doing great! Just today however, he seemed to have died (I think). He let go of the rock he latched onto and seems to be just drifting around. His tentacles aren't as full as usual. I feed him a silver feeder (minnow) about once...

I have a 55gal FOWLER and I'm considering going to reef in the future. I understand lighting, calcium, and many factors play a part in a successful reef aquarium. My question is in regards to lighting. I know some corals require more/better lighting while some aren't quite as "picky". However, I...

Well, I have been cycling my tank for about 3 weeks now and was getting some good progress. Now, this morning I wake up to find a small puddle of water next to my tank. I clean it up just hoping something spilt the night before. About 20 minutes later, another small puddle. About the size of...
