They keep your sand pretty clean, but they are notorious jumpers. I've had three Diamond Gobies and all of them have jump out of my tank, even with a lid and hood on my tank. There was only a one inch opening in the lid and all three of them decided to check the out the outside world and jump...

I have a CPR Bak-Pak and it starting collecting gunk ASAP. I haven't had a problem with it since I bought it. I would recommend it.

Kevin, I am praying for the people in your area every night. I cannot not even imagine going through something like that. I know you will be able to get through this uninmaginable catastrophe. Hopefully some more help will reach you guys down there. God Bless. I am sorry for the loss of your...

Mark's Fish Store is by far the cleanest LFS in the L.A. area. Their tanks are always spotless and fish are always healthy. Aquarium City has large coral selection. But there sales guys are kind of shady and cocky sometimes. Always trying to push [very pushy] you to buy something else because...

Are detrivoe sea cucumbers bad?

I have about 90-100 lbs of LR. The Coral beauty is always nipping at the LR. The droppings are an inch long and gray/ green in color. They don't look like nuggets. They break apart after a few hours. Just an eye sore.

I've had my SW tank for about 4 months. I started noticing what I believe are large droppings. I don't believe they are from any fish. They are too big! I always find them in the morning and in the same spot. They are bout an inch in length and about half an inch in diameter. I'm thinking it...

95lbs of LR

I am in the process of converting from FOWLR tank to a reef tank. I want to keep a couple of reef safe fish. I've read several books on reef aquariums, but I am more confuse now than when I started reading them. Now I know that nitrates in high concentrations are bad for invertebrates and...

I go to my local LFS every Thursday to check out its new shipment. I noticed that they had tons of new Tonga Branch LR. Normally the price for LR at the LFS is five bucks a pound. I was eyeing several pieces of LR and notice a very large piece of Tonga Branch (30 in. high x 13 in. width). Well I...

I just upgraded to a 70 gallon tank. I need a background for the tank (preferably blue). I have not been able to find the common blue background sheets for my tank due to its height. If I am not able to find any blue background sheets I might have to paint the back of my tank. I have already...

He's eating good. Hasn't lost its appetite. But I did notice a week ago he was swimming vertically and like crazy as if it was gasping for air. I took him out of the main tank and placed him in the QT. I am currently medicating it with Rally's Reef Safe medication. It was recommended by my LFS.
