This is my little 5g "desk lamp". Had it up for a couple months now: Random Zoas Small frogspawn rescued from wife's tank Octospawn Cup coral Nice little torch coral And Duncans... That seem unhappy the last couple days for some reason Livestock 1 green clown goby 1 emerald crab 2 turbo snails...

I have had my little guy around a month (give or take a week) If I had to guess he is 8 inches and as far as I can tell he is healthy (he really likes to hide in the rocks occasional poking his head out (swims around a fair bit a night) Haven't gotten him to eat a silverside yet (only tried a...

So, I have a 55g, but unexpectedly I am going to have a 100g this afternoon (probably). This throws off my stocking idears... current livestock Small Snowflake Eel, Snails... My plan was some smaller aggressive fish like puffers and lionfish, but now I have more room... heck I can get my 1st...

So... where to start. Someone is giving me an older 100g tank that has a minor leak. I am going to attempt to reseal it because at the low cost of Free I dont mind a little work and from everything I read its pretty easy. Let me just jot this down to make sure I am correct 1 Razor off all the...

kinda funny, and I have since had my kids stick their hands in feeding time to get bitten (because it doesn't even come close to hurting feels funny actually) I will often stick my hand in with the baster while feeding to get food twards the animals that dwell lower in the tank, and for the...

is there a benefit to having a wave controller as opposed to just power heads circulating the water? My Koralia power heads say they support a controller... but do I really need/want one?

Quick question. Will any rock really work as live rock? I know dry rock will turn into live rock, but is there a type of rock that works best? am I looking for surface area? Porousness? starting a 3rd tank, and don't want to spend money on "rocks" anymore. May just take a trip down to the...

So, I have a 55g tank I setup in my daughters room and has cycled and has a couple gsp frags in it (snipped outa my 65, figured I would let her take some off my hands) She has a lid on hers.. so I can get some of the jumpers I have been afraid to put in mine (gobies and the like) Any...

YAY. Guess it was bound to happen, got 3 aiptasia growing in my tank, 2 in the sand, 1 in a rock. I think I was able to escavate the one out of the rock (was a small rock with a chunk of coral that I pulled out and knifed it out) the 2 in the substrate are killing me... Tried to suck them up...

I know certain fish like to jump outta the tank, Such as Gobies and Firefish. On average how high do they jump?... not trying to train them for competition or anything, but I am building a canopy for my 65, and I thought that might keep em in (it would be around an additional 8 inches over the...

So I have a butterfly fish that got a fungal issue, I have pulled him and he is in QT and seems to be doing much better. The fuzzy spots are gone, most of the "pinkness" is gone and he is active and eating (he was eating fine before but I pulled him so my other fish wouldn't get whatever he had...

is there a good how to on cleaning gravel? I am gonna get a siphon canister looking test tube thinggie.. is there danger of stiring stuff up and causing a bigger problem? tank has been setup for 3-4 months now and I figured I was spring cleaning the house.. why not the tank? opinions...

I like the concept of feather dusters.. but am afraid of what might eat it. Do most reef safe fish avoid them? I don't want to tempt my butterfly (my guess as the most likely to eat it) into learning to eat more than just what I feed it.. because currently it hasn't gone for any of my coral...

This guy is a beauty... around 2.5 inches long and very peaceful. Everything I read says I got a 50-50 chance of it being an evil Corral destroying monster. From what I have read, they tend to enjoy stoney... and will often leave softys alone. the only stoney I have is my Torch (which after...

I got a lawnmower blenny, and he eats algae sheets and what not, but I have very little algae groth in my tank.... just a little bit of purpleish hair algae. How do I get algae to grow in my tank?... do I need to "plant" it?

The last 2 fish I have added to my tank unfortunately haven't made it. Added a lawnmower blenny, he died 2 days later... checked the parameters and Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ph 8.2- 8.4 a couple weeks later added a Diamond Goby, 3 days later he died... Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ph...

Any preference? Does one clean the sand better than the other?

Have been thinking about this.... Fish seem happy... But I think it may be a bit much... Forgot the gph of my power heads. Will check tonight, about how much sounds right for a 65?

I got a few different frozen foods from my lfs mysis shrimp... Some frozen prepared thing (forgot name. Like Kens or Joes or some crap) question isn't really about type of food atm.. But amount /frequency. How do I tell how much is too little /too much? Currently I am feeding a small...
