As of right now I can't get a picture, but there is something new in our tank. it almost looks like a centipede. It is a long worm like creature, with tons of small legs on it. It hasn't fully come out of the rock, but has been out around 4 or 5 in, so it is pretty big. I am keeping an eye out...

I have a brittle starfish, a couple peppermint shrimp, and some emerald/ruby crabs. I was wondering if regular shrimp like what people eat is ok to feed them, or if i need to get something else. I am also getting a long tentacle plate coral and a bubble coral in a couple days, and was wondering...

I was wondering when the best time to put damsels in a tank. I am just getting a 75 gallon set up and was wondering do I need to wait til most of the fish I want are already in. I know if you put them in first they can cause trouble. The ones I want are yellow tail damsels. I will have some...

I know that the basic rule is 1in for every 10 gallons, but that just seems so little. One tang would be it following those rules. Eventually I want to get a couple clownfish, either a blue or yellow tang, and some other fish. They only big one would be the tang. I will get a small tang since...

I have a new 75 gallon tank that I am now setting up. I have all of the equipment needed, and have a couple questions.

I had a fish store test my water, before i go and fill up my tank. I am going to use filtered tap water, because i can't afford to fill a 75 gallon tank with RO water. I am just wondering how the results are, i think everything is fine, but am worried about hardness and alkalinity. Ammonia is...

I am setting up a new 75 gallon tank, and have a question about the live rock. I have about 95lbs of dried out live rock, and over the last couple weeks have been cleaning it up. I am going to get some actual live rock to seed it, but am not sure what the required amount is. I read that...

I got a 75 gallon tank today from someone. It was the entire setup for saltwater fish, so I am guessing it has everything needed, but I honestly don't know. My problem is, I don't like freshwater fish. Just something about them seems so dull and ugly. I do love the looks over saltwater fish, but...
