Everyone on the MB was so helpful when I set up my 55 gal reef tank 2 years ago so I am hoping you will once again be generous with your suggestions and help. I am trying to set up my new Nano Cube 12g Deluxe. I went ahead and purchased a new Maxi Jet 900 for increased circulation, the surface...

I need a snail id. I found this guy hitchhiking with some items I received. I have him in a separate container at the moment but I am not sure what he is nor do I know if he is good or bad. He is oval shaped, blue "shell" with black body and does not like the light. I will post several pictures...

I purchased a nice RTA 2 days ago. When I placed him in the tank he attached immediately to a rock and seemed content. Next morning (yesterday) he ate a piece of shrimp. Today I noticed that he started to "let go" of the rock. 2 hours later he let go completely and is now upside down on...

My tank is being taken over by small fan worms - both brown and white casings. I realize these are considered good but I have too many and I want to get rid of them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a fish that likes to snack on them so they stay under check? Thanks in advance for...

Can someone ID this soft coral for me? I am thinking about purchasing it but would like to have a definite ID before buying. This way I can look up it's care information (feeding, lighting, location etc). Thanks

Yea - I know he does not look good. I have not seen anything coming from his mouth. His mouth is just a large bubble sometimes. I checked under and around him and he kept his food down. Thanks for your reply

I have had this Bubble Tip anemone for 1 month. For 2 weeks he was doing well. Then be moved to other side of the rock at the back of the tank - lighting is not as strong where he placed himself. Since then, all of his tentacles are shrinking - the longest ones are only a stringy 1/4 inch...

A tried dog is a good dog. Best thing you can do is wear your dog out. Like Bang stated - take him/her out for a jog, play ball - whatever makes him tired. Way back when my Golden Ret was young we were lucky enough to have a pool. Almost every afternoon I would trow a ball into the pool for...

I purchased a brittle starfish (black w/spikes) on Tuesday. Acclimated him slowly for 2+ hours. Placed him in the tank and he "ran" under a rock with a few arms hanging out. Yesterday morning he was in the same position. Under same rock and arms in same place - never moved. I slightly...

Thanks evreyone for your input! Bang - I can't take a picture but I can tell you that it looks like 99% of the pictures posted on the board. Just a run of the mill worm - pink with bristles. Thanks!

I have been debating this for some time........... Should I add a bristle worm to my tank? My LFS has a few small ones and he is willing to give one to me. After reading as much as I can I can't decide if I should add one on purpose. :notsure: Tank is 30 gallons and just over 2 months old...

You did get a great Christmas gift! Could have ended up using all your Christmas money to purchase new equipment. One of my fears is my sump runs dry while I am not around. Glad to hear that nothing was broken and nothing died. I ended up losing my shrimp the next afternoon. He was happy...

By far the worst smell to me was my dead feather duster! It has been a week since I removed him and I swear I can still smell it! Yuck!
