Am I missing something? Do feather dusters spread that easy? Are you sure it's not Aptasia? they look like feather dusters and they can really spread. matt

I suggest you post the question before you buy it next time. matt

glad to here it. matt:)

everything I have read say batfish are hard to keep and are for experienced aquarist only. I don't know if it was for certain types or all batfish in general. matt

I'm not trying to scare you but your sounding like me a week ago. I would try to flush him out to see if he is stuck. even if it means moving a rock to free him. Or use some food to coax himout. you need to see if he is stuck or just shy. mine wasn't between 2 rocks, rather a hole inside a...

Going into a hole to sleep is normal, but not all day. I bought a hum-hum trigger 2 weeks ago, and he died in 4 days. The whole 4 days he had been swimming and eating and his color was fine. Every night when the white lights went out, he immediately slipped into his hole. On the 5th day, I...

I thought the bubbles were from the sand. during set up. I kept stirring it and they never went away, then the hair algea got out of control, so last weekend i gutted the whole thing cleaned it and put new sand in it. the bubbles are back, so I guess this time I'll just wait and see. matt

why are there so many bubbles in my fuge? If the caulerpa is producing oxygen, I wouldn't expect it to be actual bubbles. They are on the plants, on the sand, even on the crab. Plus I get a lot of green hair in the fuge, but not in the main tank. I did a search here and everyones fuge was so...

let me clarify. I just recently set up a fuge. I have a 20g, with a 180 pump going up to it. Then a syphon going out. Its hard explain without seeing it, but as long as the syphon tube is larger than the incoming, the syphon will match it flow,(the syphon cannot suck more than the incoming...

They must be slow because I bought a 1 inch hum-hum yesterday, and this morning he was still one inch. hope this helps matt

finally done cycling. Here is my 110g fowlr and 20g sump.:)

:) After a 4 month cycle, I finally have clean water. So the other day I bought my first fish. I bought 1 domino damsel and 6 turbo snails and 6 scarlet hermits. 1 of my snails isn't moving around very much. I don't know if he's sick. Other than that it's great. Thanks to all on this forum...

I had mine drilled last year, I did the 2 in the corners. But I have to say, I like the one in the center better. I have 2 stacks of rock to cover them with the center of the tank wide open. I would rather have 1 stack of rock in the center of the tank and have the ends clear. Matt

I just bought that light last week. I took an old power strip, cut the cord off. Then, just connect the white to white and the black to the black. The green is a ground, just screw that in to any extra srew on the light. Usually red or white is the hot. Hope it helps. Matt

cool thanks, I'll let it keep going.

hello everyone, Are clean-up crews as sensitive to trItes as fish are? my 5 month cycle is finally nearing it's end. my nitrites aren't quite at zero yet, I know its too early for fish, but is it too early for a clean up crew? I'm starting to collect a lot of brown algea. If so, what is the...

Quick Questions, I bought some red gracilaria and within a day it started turning pale green. Is it dying? Will it come back? There weren't any roots on it either. Maybe it needs more lighting? Any Ideas would be great. thanks matt

Thomas, Could it have spiked and gone down within the 2 weeks? Yes my next step was a fish store test.

I recently went through the same thing. I turned everything off to let it settle faster. The problem was, after it all settled, I had a fine layer of silt on top of my sand. Every little movement in the tank(i.e. powerheads, cleaning, setting up LR) all caused huge clouds of the silt. I...

hello everyone, I have had my LR in the tank for 2 months now. The whole time I had 0 ammonia and NitrAtes of 4.0. So I finally bought 3 shrimp and through them in 2 weeks ago. I just tested the water and realized I was doing the AMM test wrong. I corrected it and it is still Ammonia 0...
