This frogspawn has been doing great. Almost a week ago it pretty much stopped opening. All water parameters are fine. I even took water to the LFS to make sure my tests weren't off. There is not and has not been any brown gunk coming out of it. I noticed that one of the heads had a pretty big...

Thanks for the help guys. I'll agree it would be nice if it were Chaeto, but I'm much happier that the snails are not Sundials!

Hey guys. I have this algae growing in a very small patch at the top of my tank. It's really an eyesore and would like to get rid of it, but I do not know what it is. The second pic is of one of the many small snails I have in the tank. I would like to know what it is so I know if they need to...

Hehe thanks for the info! I had my wife get it while it was still on the glass.

Hey guys, my wife just sent me this picture. She said it is crawling on the glass and is moving pretty quick if it is a snail. It is small enough that it would fit on a pencil eraser. Do I need to get this out of my tank?

I feed my tank Rod's Food (original). My clowns love it so much they will actually eat from my hand!

Yeah, they are pods, not algae. Like I said, I grabbed a sample and looked at them under a scope. Definitely pods. I get at least 3-4 of them when i pull a water sample for testing. I was pretty shocked myself.

Cwolf, i have the exact same thing in my tank. Noticed little bugs on the side and all in the water. There were enough of them that the tank looked cloudy. I actually pulled out a microscope and verified that they were pods. I assume that they will not last very long tho

Not sure if my setup is any good as I'm a n00b myself, but this is what I have: Chamber 1: Sponge, live rock and carbon Chamber 2: Heater and more rock Chamber 3: Protein Skimmer

I need some help! All of my water parameters are good. There is a very happy BTA located in this tank that is doing great. he started out doing OK, but then he shrunk up. I assumed he was just getting rid of waste, but he never fully opened back up. I've only had him about a week and he was on...

Hey guys, I was wondering is someone can ID these more specifically than what I know. I know one is a mushroom, a leather, and the third i can't remember. Anybody have a better answer than just the type? This guy apparently fell down today while I'm at the office. Thanks in advance for your...

Thanks guys. I did some looking and am I correct in thinking these are all not a problem for a reef tank unless they become an eyesore?

They told me it was a tile star.

Yeah, the hippo may be a little much for the tank, but after talking with the owner of the LFS i decided to get him. I may just have to replace him if/when he gets too big.

I got this rock when i started my tank because i thought the dead stuff (zoos?) would look neat when covered with coraline because of the texture. Well, my wife noticed these little white stings coming out from a place on the front of the rock. I have kept an eye on it and they appear to be...
