I just witnessed a knock down dragout between my Midas Blenny and my female Maroon Clown. They were literally rolling around each other. I have never seen such a thing. I was screaming at the tank like they could hear me.... When they were done, the Midas then went chasing the male clown. I fed...

I came across this paragraph in an article that was linked a few years ago and wondered how you all feel about this or if you've even heard of it... "A second guideline for taking aquarium pictures deals specifically with taking pictures of fishes. When displaying a picture of a fish it is...

Here's my dilemma... After a year of seeing no nitrates at all, they are now steadily rising. I am up to about 10. Frustrating after it reading zero for so long. I've been doing water changes weekly of 10%. The last two I did were 15%. I only have four fish in a 60 gallon tank and I really don't...

Where is the best place to find a healthy BTA. I want one that is a nice shade of pink, not the ones that look more orange/red. Anyplace online that has a good selection? The online retailers I have found only have green ones or rust colored ones. Even better, anybody have one that likes to...

I can't get my kalk drip to remain constant or even stay running. I have researched and the only answer I can come up with is that the line is getting clogged. I have rinsed the line, taken the drip regulator valve apart, rinsed everything well, and still I have issues. My drip regulator is...

I think Venus, my Blue-Line Wrasse just went through the powerhead. I heard something, looked up and saw him freaking out swimming crazily, went to the bottom and drifted sideways for a bit. I can't find him now. *cries* Has anyone else ever had this happen?

One of the problems I have found in my cube tank is that low light corals are seeming to be getting too much light, even on the bottom of my 24" deep tank. I keep having to put things under the big cave. I have a DIY hood with a 250W dual ended MH in a reflector and a piece of glass sitting on...

Alright everyone, I need as much input and advice as you will give me. Some of you know I have been worried about my Midas Blenny, Sasha. She is skinny and scratching on the rocks. I have been feeding her twice daily with Rod's Food for a few weeks. I found some Prazipro today to treat for IP...

How many of you with a Midas are feeding every day compared to every other day? I have been feeding every other day, but I feel like the blenny is getting thinner. I am going to start feeding every day, at least in that tank to see if I can fatten her up a bit. I was just wondering if they are...

I decided to test the tank water that I thawed my mysis shrimp in for nitrates and phosphates. I got a reading of 0 nitrates(my tank measures the same). The phophate reading was off the chart high. I knew rinsing frozen food was a good idea, but I will definitely be doing it every time after...

First off, just a thought but we need a section for reef pests. Putting this in the invertibrate section just seems too good for these guys... I posted back in March about having these and similar to what I've found online, I got mixed messages. For those who don't know, Digitate Hydroids look...

After dosing the ten gallon with Flatworm exit twice(first round I did eight drops, second round I did twelve), I still have these tiny flatworms. I only see them on the glass, and I think they are pod eaters after watching them closely. Should I just let them be? They are now in both of my...

My fuzzy mushroom has been unhappy for weeks! I have seen some of the polyps detach. At first I was like, Cool! It's reproducing! Now I think not :( I am about to take parameters again. Will post in a few minutes. Every other coral looks great. Any clues? I had some tiny red flatworms (not sure...

Does anyone know the difference in Midas Blennies from different locations? Here is the listing from live aquaria.http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+23+83&pcatid=83 I am ready to order one for my first fish in the 60 cube this week! :bounce: My searches about them have...

Today I joined my local saltwater enthusiasts group :D They have a meeting om the first Saturday of every month. Yay! :bounce: I happened to win this month's drawing for a $25 gift certificate to the LFS. I also bought an acan frag pack. Five different acan frags for $50. Here is a link to what...

I think, in a matter of like two months I have dealt with about every nuisance in our systems...:grumble: Now I am seeing tiny red specks on my glass. Upon searching this site have learned they are probably flatworms. Does this variety stay small like this? It will be hard to see them to siphon...

As some of you know, I was all excited about getting my old liverock back and how much money I was saving, etc.... Well, my sister had been keeping the liverock in a 75 gallon tank in her basement and wasn't really doing much if any water changes for the rock. When I got it the nitrates were...

I need to know what thickness of tempered glass to put under my halides for UV protection. My plan is to set the glass on the inner lip of the aquarium, leaving a one inch gap in the back for cords and feeding the tank. Is this lip enough to support the glass? Thanks all!

Didn't know this was alive until I saw it move a few days ago. Pic of it open Closed My searches haven't come up with anything yet. Any clues, fellow reefers?
