I just bought this product online and was wondering if anyone had success using it. My tank had a faulty protein skimmer and more half of the water flooded onto my carpet. After replacing the water many clams died and polluted my water. I've done several water changes but still had a hair...

There is a snow delay over here in NYC and I have to leave for work in about an hour. I'm waiting for a fed ex shipment of fish and inverts and I'm worried I won't be able to acclimate them until I get back at 10:30 tonight. Will they survive? If I receive the animals in the last minute...

My latest addition to my reef has been a flame angel. A gorgeous and wonderful addition to my reef. Until it started picking on my blue/green welsyphilia brain(my favorite coral). I knew it was a hit or miss with this fish but I didn't think it would pick at my brain. I've tried moving it...

I see there are a few smokers on here and I know it's hard as hell to quit so I thought it would be easier with a little support. I'm going to quit on DEC 31 and will update my progress every day or two on this post. Anyone that wants to join in please do so. It's tough to do on your own so I...

I bought a flame angel from this site and I still haven't seen it eat anything. I've seen him pick at lr but not actually eat. So far I tried brine shimp, flakes, and an algae mix. Can someone help me out here? This fish is so beautiful I don't want to see it die. thanks.

This is my second time ordering and let me just say it was even better than the first. On Sunday my wife found my favorite fish(flame hawk)lying on the living room floor (rip)! Needless to say I was very upset. Since we're close to broke(Christmass gifts) it took some convincing to make an...

There is a website that boasts of a small shrimp that works better than hermits for cleaning deritus and algae. Scientific name is palaemonetes vulgaris and the shrimp is advertised as a cleaner and feeder. Has anyone heard of this or had them in their tank? The website is livebrineshrimp...

Since I've started feeding my button polyps silverslides the have reproduced at an incredible rate. Within a few days of feeding them I can already see them splitting and new ones sprouting up. I started with approximately 16 polyps but since feeding them directly (3 weeks)they've reproduced...

My tank has been doing good lately and there are some prolific corals but I want to try to help and speed the process. Just wondering what types of corals are the best and quickest for multiplying? What are some of the ways to quicken the process(love potions?). So far I've had success with...

I just bought these from a lfs in the frozen packs to give my fish a larger variety of foods. The problem is when I give it to the fish it disintigrates and made a mess in my tank. My fish barely got any pieces out of it, the rest just spread out all over. Is this how it's supposed to be or...

I have 2 black long spined urchins both healthy and beautiful. I decided to keep one of them to keep my reef diverse. Anyone who wants the other can email me at Godblesswtc@aol.com. I live in Astoria, New York, if anyone is close they can pick it up anytime. They both hitched on my lr months...

I was thinking of getting a flame angel or a blue spotted jawfish(which are currently onsale). Does anyone have other suggestions or comments? Would a flame angel be harrassed by my damsel and sebae clownfish.

I bought an acropora sps coral last week and just today I noticed 2 small crabs with black markings deep in it's branches. I've heard of crabs hitching on corals but wanted to know if these are detrimental to the corals' health or if they cohabit peacefully? If I need to get rid of them how...

Does anyone know if blue planet series is on today and what time? I've been hearing alot about these series and I've looking forward to seeing it. Any info let me know?

I have two black/blue long spined urchins in my tank that hitched on the lr. They've been doing great in my system but have grown at extremely fast rates. I have an extra one(free) if anybody's interested. If not I'll bag it up and take it to a lfs. I live in astoria, ny. Email me at...

When I first introduced this coral into my tank it was bright yellow but has since began turning tan. I've tried different spots to place it but was wondering whether it it will be happier closer to the lights on top or on the substrate? How about water current? thanks, frank.

This little heat wave in NY has raised my tank temps. to 84. I wasn't planning on getting a chiller but with over 1500 dollars invested in my reef I don't want any future problems. What is a good and reasonable priced chiller for a 29 gallon and where is the best place to get them. Please...

I have a 29 gallon reef 2-95watt vho. Is this enough lighting for some types of sps and which ones are easier to keep? I'm thinking of buying some in a month or two and wanted to get everyone's opinion.

Last week I lost a false percula. This week I've lost a true percula and a sixline wrasse. No remains of the last 2 were found. I think another inhabitant is doing away with my fish. I have a large brittle starfish and a small serpent star. I just hope that it isn't a mantis shrimp. Water...
