    Aiptasia, how to prevent rapid growth

    Personally I am going to go with either a racoon butterfly or a banded butterfly, I have read and heard they will eat them as well.

    I agree with jw there, My brother in law bought a boulder lookin thing, although it has alot of nice hiding spots in it, it can't be used as effectivly, not to mention look at that tank and think what do you want it to look like?....A giant rock? or a nice scenery? Dan

    5gal. tank..what to do?

    I gave thought to the micro reef, but I'm not very sure how they work, as far as the water movement goes. Seahorses, well in my book that would be hard, I know nothing about them except they are slow, eat hatched brine and need to cling to stuff. I have also thought about something like a refug...

    Dying Anenome

    mlm, If by some chance your anenome does die one day, it will turn into (best description) a pile of jelly. I had my purple hatian die on me and all I found was the jelly looking stuff sitting on the floor of the tank. I have a bubble tip now and it was acting the same way. Basically what are...

    5gal. tank..what to do?

    I was thinking something along the lines of snails and/or crabs. Didn't think it could possibly hold a shrimp. What about an anenome or something?

    5gal. tank..what to do?

It has 2.5in. of aragonite sub. hang on filter with built in skimmer. Water tests are perfect in it so...

    ID please?

    ok here we go, it looks similar to this but without the shell. Is this possible? and is it good or bad? I have read that certain coneshell snails will [hr] fish, so how would I get rid of it if it is a bad one?

    ID please?

    nope, it did this kind-of straightened up then pushed something from inside the tube out. Whatever was pushed out fell and the tube retracted. The stuff that fell out pretty much dissentigrated on its way down.

    Black Polyps?

    NM, So far they haven't opened or anything, and I am concerned that they aren't eating. Am I being neurotic, or are they opened but just don't look like the other polyps when they open? Dan

    Protien Skimmer working in reverse?

    The skimmer is a VisaJet-PS with built in power head rated for a 90Gal. I did a 6gal water change 2 days ago, just finished doing a head count and everyone is accounted for including snails and hermits.
