I just did a search and all the pictures I can find of aptiasa are ugly. These are quite beautiful. I wish I had a better camera....

Okay, here is the thing that looks like an anemone, it has a stoney base and the tips are more white that clear. I hope it is a little better

This is a new tank. The parameters have been great, I am going to test again tonight. My lights are running about 8 hours. I have my cleaner package coming in tomarrow. I am hoping they will much down most of the algea. I am in love with this rock. I will never buy any from anyone else again...

okay here are some of the things growing in my tank. can anyone help me out on what they are so I can look up their care requirements. I also put a picture of a little fish on there. It came with part of my cleaner package. I think it is some kind of goby.

Yeah, I know that, however they are coming out of the rocks that I bought.....

Okay, I have started a 125 gallon tank and the live rock I bought has tons of different corals and plant life and who knows what else. I have not been able to find anything remotely close to what I have going on in my tank. What is the best way to go about identifying them. I need to find out...

okay, that gives me some ideas. The problem with them being right on top like they are is the tank seems to heat up. I have noticed my temp has gone up about 3-4 degrees.

Anyone?

Hopefully that will give you an idea. If not I can try again. Thanks

Okay, I have been looking on the net and cannot find what I am looking for. I just got my 72" PC and the mounting brackets that come with it will not work with my top. I have an all glass top that only has small openings for my filters and heaters and such. I have a eel so I dont want him...

That was kind of what I was thinking. I can always try it and if it doesn't work we wil know not to do that again. Thanks

I have purchased a zebra eel and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could put my flame hawk from my other tank in with him. I found a compatibility chart and it saws hawkfish and eels are not compatible, however I read that the zebras do not really bother fish. Any ideas would be appreciated...

I got some peppermint shrimp that took care of mine.

I have a very interesting question. My friend has a 45 gallon tank that at one point was mine. She has had it for about a year now. About two months ago her diamond goby died, then about 2 weeks later her exquist wrasse died. I check all of her perameters and all came back at 0. Ph is 8.2 temp...

My friend had a crab that had the flattened back legs for swimming. She has been looking for a couple years to figure out what it was. The LFS told her it was a boxing crab. The crab was white and about 2" and he had black spots on his back. He would actually swim to the top of the tank. Does...

The skimmer is like a CPR Backpack, but it is an off brand. I have a CPR on my other tank that has the biobale in it. I found this skimmer that was half the price for my other tank except it didn't have the biobale like the CPR but came with bio balls instead. So could this be my problem? I can...

They are in my skimmer because that is how it came. The only difference between this tank that I have problems with and my other tank is the bio balls. I rinse the balls every other water change. I guess I will just try scrubbing them off with a toothbrush just like with my rock.
