    Dead snails/hermit crabs

    Hi everyone, I couldn't help but ask about this. If a snail or hermit crab dies in the tank in a place that's difficult to reach should I be worried about trying to remove the body? I'm pretty confident that the bodies are getting eaten up by the other hermit crabs though...they're feisty.

    Just got a feather duster...did it die on the way home?

    So I bought a feather duster today and just got him home. I took him out of the bag and noticed that he didn't react...strange. I placed him in the tank and hes just there looking pretty. The fact that he doesn't react is alarming me a little. His crown didn't pop off either which I would...

    Looking for advice on a new addition

    Right now I'm running a 20gal FOWLR system with hopes of coral later on. I have a firefish and a clown and would love to add another fish but I feel that might crowd the tank too much. That being said, I need some advice on a great invert addition. Correct me if I'm wrong but I read that you...

    Am I dampening my lighting?

    I recently bought a 2 T5HO hood for my 20 gallon with hopes to keep some simple corals. I'm pretty sure that should be enough...but I did put a black mesh over the top of the tank to make sure they can't jump out. Could that mesh dampen my light due to the color reflection? If it does do you...

    How do I get the most from my skimmer?

    Hi everyone, I just bought my first skimmer and I've had it running for a little over 24 hours. All I have noticed it doing is just bringing water into the waste cup. The water is a bit discolored so I think it's doing something but it's nothing near what I've seen pictures to be. The directions...

    How much noise is too much?

    I'm in the process of upgrading all of my equipment and I just got a really nice Koralia 450 for my 20gal. It's creating a great flow and I'm buying another one soon. I'm just a little concerned about the humming noise it makes. Could this stress the fish out? Or does it need to be an...

    What is this? I'm a bit nervous

    I have this growth on one of my live rocks. It looks like a caterpillar cocoon. Has anyone seen something like this before? Should I be concerned?

    South of Boston, MA - Looking to buy a 23" hood

    As the title says, I need a hood fixture to fit the lengeth of the tank (23 inches). The hood also needs to be fit for keeping healthy corals. If you're not within driving distance I'll include shipping within the price of course. Thanks in advance if anyone has this =)

    Live rock turning white

    I've been noticing my LR turning white recently on the top where the light hits it the most. Picture included. I looked it up and it seems like there is a list of things that could be wrong...or nothing is wrong and it's just new LR. Possibilities: Lack of calcium or phosphates? Too much...
