All I have is my phone tonight, was having trouble trying to figure out if this was reef safe or not. Not much experience with slugs.

I have no experience with fish disease or parasites. My fish have always been fairly healthy and free of these sort of things. I just setup a new tank and I noticed that my clown fish has a parasite on his fin. Can anyone ID this and recommend a treatment? I have no idea what to do other than a...

I a looking for a pressurized tank to store my RO/DI water in as it comes out of the flter. I guess it has to be made out of some special material. Does anyone have any insight or recommendations on this?

Maybe I am just over reacting but today I noticed about 75 - 80% of my ricordea were very swollen. All water parameters are normal and have been stable for some time. I have seen one or two swell every now and then but I never really thought anything of it. Anyone know if this is common? Almost...

Some pictures of my nanocube.

Just got these today. I'm so excited about them, I had to share them somewhere!

I just got a firefish and a orchid dottyback and they are incredibly shy, especially the firefish. I know this is normal but how long does it take for them to calm down? He has been in there now for about 4 days and refuses to come out of the rock. I have not been able to feed him. Anyone have...

I believe this arrived in some florida live rock I purchased. I cannot be sure though. I could not get a good look at the other side as it was behind a rock. Any guesses as to what it is and if its dangerous to other critters or coral? Its difficult to tell but its about 3/4 of an inch long.

I purchased some yellow polyps a few months ago. I recently returned them. When I had them I noticed the rock they were on turned entirely yellow. Some of this yellow was left behind in my tank. Recent that yellow has spread. It's getting to the point where I'm kind of concerned about it. I am...

I believe on my my Florida Ricordea might be sick. It appears to be oozing a brown substance from the center. Does anyone have any experience with this? If it is sick, could my other Ricordeas catch it?

Hey, I have recently discovered an issue with my water source. I am guessing this is a typical problem but I am not really sure. I get my RO water from walmart and I store it in a 5 gallon jug. Usually I will mix the salt and change it out right away but recently I have not. Now I leave a heater...

I am getting very frustrated with my tank. Ever since I put in this live rock (which is now removed) I have had nitrate/ammonia issues. They have led to the growth of slime algae and I just cant seem to find the source of the problem. I barley have any fish or inverts in my tank, nothing is...

I have a mushroom that has just gotten way too large for its current position in my tank. I would like to deattach it from the rock so I can try to move it some place else. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to go about doing this?

If I was to cycle a live rock in an already established aquarium would it trigger the typical algae cycle? For example I have a 12 gallon aquarium and I did put in a new rock. About a month or so later I am now having a terrible red slime algae problem. I tested my levels and I do have...

Sharing my reef.

I hope its not, i think it looks rather cool. When I first got my rocks I had about 5 of these...4 of them were very small and this one was huge. All of the small ones disappeared except one. So now I have this large one and a small/medium sized one growing. I cannot see any more but they could...

Hello, I am setting up my first tank 12G and it has been going well for about a month. This morning I woke up and the water was all cloudy. After watching the tank for a few minutes I noticed my Astrea snail is emitting something into the water. I don't know, maybe it is trying to reproduce even...

Hello, I just got my first tank and it has completed its cycle. I had a brown algae bloom which has now subsided. I drastically reduced my lighting to about 4 hours a day to get rid of the algae. I then siphoned the remains of the brown algae off of the substrate and did about a 1 gallon water...

it came out at night if that helps. It is long, white, and worm like. It has an orange spot at one end with large hair like tentacles that are about the length of its body.

Hello, I am setting up my first saltwater tank. I bough about 5.5lbs of live rock from my LFS and put it into my 12G nano cube. I emmediatly saw an ammonia spike but I have yet to see a corresponding nitrate or nitrite spike. A about 5 days after I got my live rock the ammonia had dropped to...
