Ive had fireworms for a bit. The nasty red bristly ones. Now i picked up this two pepermints a bit ago jsut so i could have some shrimp. I liked these guys. Just today i saw one reaching into a hole and "fighting" with something... the i see him pull his arm out holding a nice sized chunk of...

So my Pagoda was taken over by what some of you have identified as a flesh eating bacteria. It's rather sad really, not only was it costly but it was also a larger display part of my small 20g tank. Im not going to just chunk it though. Im going to allow this thing to come back to life as it...

Im currently using a 130w (2x65) PC lighting for my 20g. I want to add a MH to it and am thinking another 175w would be a good number. that would give me 15.25w per gallon!!! Im guessing that should be enough for even hard corals such as the Pagoda Ive got my eye on. Now right now the bulbs im...

I have a rock, super pourus just a jumble ofjegged protrussions and holes. Well there have been twosmall pink blobs growingon it. One of em has a bubble looking hole and now im seeing more and more bubbles in it. Almost exactly like the ectoplasm under NYC in ghostbusters movie. you remember...

So ive got a reef in the building, mainly soft corals but some hard as well. Xenia, galaxea, bunch of zoas. Ive got a 5" BTA with a juvi maroon, hosting. my question is, will the maroon accept a tank mate now that hes established? if so, which fish will be allowed? Lawnmower blenny? Firefish...

So I bought an acrylic kit on that big [hr] site, thinking it was a built item. I got a bunch of parts in a box and some cement. They had it all cut out but it was up to me to build it. It was advertized as a refugium but it very slim and i thought would act better as a sump/filtration unit...

my bta opened its mouth WIDE and had this mucus stuff just trailing out of its mouth. the tips were deflated and the mouth was really really open. Hes twodays old inmy tank, and my clown has been hosting him kinda hard. he was fed a half piece of shrimp, is this just anemone poop or a sign of...

It was amazing. BY THE BOOK type stuff. Its a 4 mo old tank and ive been ON TOP of allmy stuff. Got clams for trates, hang on back fuge and tons of rock for bio filtration, chemi pure for the chemical, floss.. etc..... ANY WAYS to the awsome story. Had this hatian pink tip in there for 3 weeks...

So I read up a bit on these guys and then got a nice 4" sized one.Beautiful. It "swam" around for a while and upon lights out grabed onto the heater with its "arm?" Now i see it building suspension cables and such. Can I leave it on the heater? or should I not allow this. Im guessing if it gets...

ive got a flat coraline covered rock with green neon/pink majanos on it, 2 of em. I dont mind if they multiply on this rock where i can control their boundary. BUT, do they ever detach and float to a new spot, or will they stay put if the light is good and the current is good.... anyone ever...

So i thought this was a ricordia at first but im looking at other's pics of ricordias and its not anything like it. These things are no more that 1/3 inch in diameter. it was one, then it split now i have two. They are freakin gorgeous. what are they?

I just bought my second maroon clown. It is a bit smaller than the one already established. What is the protocol? I am floating the bag for now, ill do drip when i get back from the gym in about an hour. The established clown is already hitting the bag. should i float the bag and let him get it...

So i had a problem. My heater jambed in the ALWAYS on position and water got to 87* killing my singapore behind all the rock. I couldnt get him out and the levels spiked BAD. Corals closed and all that nasty stuff. I took emergency action and the levels are back to temp 79.5-80.9 night-day ph...

Ive got a maroon clown in a 20g. Some may go ahead and say the tank is too small. for now its an ok size, ill upgrade later. Anyways, whats going on is that he LOVES this one corner of the tank, rear middle left. Its like hes hostin it, Ive got tones of rock works, with some nice cavern and...

Today I recieved my power compact. Odysea 24" 65w with a 50/50. Im running a 20 gallon mini reef. Before the PC arived I was using a 24" flaourecent 50/50 but that was only 15w. No bueno. My question is, can I still keep running the 15w 50/50 in conjunction with the new 65wPC. Is there such...

Last night My featherduster started crawling out of its tube. just wigling around like it was on fire. This morning he was wiggling on the sandbed with a tiny portion of his wormbody "cut" or bit off. the duster is fully opened. I picked it up and placed it on some pourus live rock hoping maybe...

I started a salt tank and was using a reptiglow 15w until i learned about light requirements. I was going for fish only tank so i bought a 50/50 coralife bulb. I now have mushroom and bubletip polyps so I though i could add another 15 whats by adding the reptiglow back. So curently its a 50/50...

I introduced a Singapore Angel and a Maroon into my cycled 20gl about a week ago. Ive got live sand and live rock, and the tank was "guarded" by 3 domino damsels and a yellow dams. The dominos are now back at the LFS, but i kept the yellow since he was super chill and just kinda "hangs out". The...
