    I just spent $18 so my fish can get fat

    Yes, they do eat shrimp. Mine decided one day a few weeks ago to turn on his buddy of over a year, a skunk cleaner shrimp. By the time I realized what was happening it was to late.

    Snail trouble

    About a week ago I noticed that one of my snails kept falling off the back glass. I would roll him over he would be on his way. Last night rolled him over, he slowly made his way to the front glass. He has what looks like a 1/2 cashew for the back half of his body. WHAT COULD THIS BE. It...

    Spots on mushrooms

    I noticed a few white specks on my green mushrooms a few weeks back. I tried to get a picture of them to help get an ID. The specks are somewhat small, 0.5mm-1mm around about the size of a flea. They are not smooth but seem to have a rough texture. I hope this is enough info for someone to...

    Brain Coral

    I have a CC base. Can I keep them directly on the CC or will that damage it? Will the feeder tentacles catch other fish I have in my tank?

    Brain Coral

    I was thinking of purchasing a brain coral. So it's research time. Are they difficult to keep? Is there any tricks to keeping them? Is an open Brain more difficult than a closed or are they the same? Anyone's experiences would be helpful. Thanks...

    xenia shrinkage

    Civickid thank you for starting this thread. I picked one up from my LFS at the begining of last week. I was dissappointed because it shrunk down to ¼ the size and released a cloud into the water column. I did not do the best job of acclimating it. (Very poor to be quite honest). I...

    COTW: Ricordia

    I purchased a colony rock from my LFS a few months back it has 5 different types of mushrooms on it. (5-6 Purple, 4-5 green, 3 red, 4-6green ricordea, and one large hairy brown mushroom). All the mushrooms are doing very good. They are growing like crazy but are starting to grow over each...

    Tensile strength of Poly reinforced Concrete Tanks

    Nicely explained Bridge Man. Fat Tony you don’t want to weld the rebar. It weakens the steel. You should bend each side around the corner lapping them each about 18''-24''. The reinforcement gets its strength from its contact with the concrete not the tie wire it’s held together with so...

    GSP taking over

    I tried to peel a little a few weeks back. It did not feel like it wanted to come off so I just left it alone. I thought that there might be some sort of trick to doing it. I don't want to have to change my aquascaping but I guess I might have to. Ags when you tried to peel it did you use...

    GSP taking over

    Is it possible to “peel” green star polyps off of live rock and let them attach somewhere else? They seem to be taking over my tank. I am not sure how to direct their growth to areas that I would like them to grow and away from areas I don’t want them. I was happy that they were spreading at...

    Corals dead, missing or going to be dead

    I did not see how long you are keeping you lights on for now. I don't know if this will help or not, but when I switched to t-5's HO from NO. I lost a large section of my GSP and my mushrooms stayed very small for about 2 weeks. Every thing is going great now but, when I first swiched to the...
