I have had this tang for about three weeks now. He is in my reef tank with two other "yellow" tangs. They all get along just fine. I must say that I have never actually seen him eat though. When I put in the seaweed selects on the clip the two "yellow" tangs come right up to it and the kole just...

Thanks!! The porcupine is doing just fine, he does just "take a break" in one corner every now and again?! He is eating because I almost hand feed him!! What type of food do you give yours? I just got what the pet store suggested! Just lookin for other types of food.

I recently went through a HUGE bloom and it turned out I had introduce my new PC lights wrong. I put them on a timer and go myself a "lawnmower" blenny! Man does that fish eat it up!! Don't know if that fish will help your current problem, but I know it helped mine clear the tank once I got my...

From months and months of amazement of this fish at my local pet store I finally bought one! The first night I brought him home he was doing great, I had put him in a tank with four other fish, niger trigger, rectangular trigger, dragon wrasse, and a foxface. Both triggers tried to nip at him...

I recently upgraded my light and filtration system on my 55 gallon fish only tank in hopes of transforming it into a reef. I bought more live rock and cleaning crew. But it seems to have become nothing but a nightmare. I read wonderful articles and confessions on the ecosystem using the...

Well that is a good question! I have never seen until tonight and well I saw it when I only had the atinic lights on, I was introducing a greek goddess slug into my tank and while I was moving the rock around I found it. I was looking through one if my books about marine problem solving and it...

I am in the mist of transferring my tank into a reef and I have bought my lights and started the wet* dry. Tonight I was arranging my base rock and underneath a piece of rock was a creature, something I haven't seen before. I didn't buy him or I haven't purchased any new rock in well over six...

I just added a wet dry filter and decided to use the miracle mud method within my wet* dry. well after adding the mud to the sump and letting it it settle in the next day I had a whole bunch of tiny bubbles all over my live rock and throughout my tank. This was never a problem before. Also...

I have been thinking about switching out my crushed coral and either putting nothing in its place or sand. I like the appearance of sand and would like to get some organisms that live within it, but that would mean a whole new filtration system. I currently have the crushed coral with the two...

I have heard that you can splice or cut your mushroom? I did a test on one of my smaller mushrooms and it disappeared for a week. I thought I had killed it, but to my surprise it came back out and there was a smaller piece of mushroom on the bottom of the tank. The original mushroom appeared...
