I tried about 3 different kinds of scrapers from the LFS but none would work. This stuff was really hard. I was very careful to watch how I was using the razor blade.

I posted a similar thread. Take a look and mine looks like the same thing. It even looks like the same type of anemone? Green bubble tip.

I had this happen with a Condi anemone. I just turned the powerheada off and carefully took the anemone off. It really stretced the thing out though. It was fine for a couple months after that but got sucked up 2 more times. The third time really did it in though. It just shriveled up and died...

When I bought it the LFS said it was a green bubble tip anemone. Thanks for the info about this. Everyone talks about adding this and that stuff to their tanks and I do not add anything. I feed Formula One food. (2 cubes a day) and a couple times a week put in some Marine Snow. Water gets...

For anyone interested in long arm length plastic gloves and cheap. Find a local dairy farm and ask them for an UNUSED breeding glove. They are very inexpensive and would go up your whole arm.

And a close up. It used to cover the whole rock it is on .

Here is a current shot.

Has anyone had this happen ? Is it going to be ok or will it die due to this. It has been in my tank for about 9 months now and growing very well. It was only about 3 - 4 inches accross when I first got it and now it will stretch almost accross the width of my tank ( probably about 12 inches)...

Try messing with the amount of air bubbles that are coming out of the intake. Mine does this every once in a while and sometimes I have to take the hose off because there is some salt build up in there . good luck

I bought one about three weeks ago. I had algae probably 1/2 inch long all over the top of all my LR. I had the guy at the LFS put some plants ang algae in different tanks for me to watch what fish ate the best. My decision was the Foxface. Now I have hardly any algae left (besides on the glass)...

Are they coming from the LR or LS ?

I was just moving around some LR in my 1 week old tank and saw something that looked like a sand flea from the beach swimming around? Is this good or bad for a 1 week old tank? Do I need to do anything about it or them? I have only seen 1 swimming around. I will try and take a picture of it.

I was just moving some LR around in my tank. Only been going for 1 week now. I saw one of those amphopods? Are they ok or does this mean something bad or good for a new tank?

So I don't want to start my skimmer until after the cycle?

So don't do any water changes until everything is at a safe level ? Then wait again until that settles back down to add anything (anemones, inverts etc.) ?

I have had everything in place minus the protien skimmer for 1 week now. Should I do a water change and if so how much? If not now when should I? 55gal 70 lbs LR 40 sand 30 LS 2 powerheads 1 waterfall/ carbon

Not sure what type. They are on the ends of the LR that I got and it looks like the decorative stuff you can buy in novelty shops? There is some green grass like growth on some and some redish brown small leaf like looking stuff on some others. I got the LR from 2 different places on the web. 45...

I have been reading books and also looking at different sites on the web about clowns and the different types, and which anenomes go with different clowns. My total wattage will be 260W and everything I have read about says hard corals need the most intense lighting at 5W per gallon. The LR I...

Everything I have heard says that there will be a huge growth of algae if Lights are turned on with nothing to clean it all out.

I forgot to mention that part. I do want any advice on hard and soft corals. I am planning on getting a Custom Sealife Power Compact with 4 65W and 4 moonlights. I just have not gotten it because everything I have read says to not put any lights on when cycling. Is this correct?
