I'm shipping these guys off. They suck, they do nothing other than create these stupid problems. They had plenty opportunities to move into bigger shells and didn't. I think they are just hungry.

I did not quartine the corals. I might have done a few dips a while ago but I haven't bought coral in about 6-8 months, so I don't remember. Would I see a parasite? Is this common? Any other possibilities??

The last 6 months, maybe more, my coral just dosen't seem healthy. My Zoas are disappearing, or dieing, shrooms are gone, my Wells is not opening as much, and my Blastos are not looking too hot. What is going on. My tank is 2 years old, I have PC's that I replace regulary and I test my...

they are not that big. But I have seen them eating the snails before. I am just wondering if they are killing and eating or are they dieing then the crabs are eating them.

15-20. Some are gonna die.

Well put. I would just like to add to something already said. MAKE SURE your rock is not up against the glass, it makes it impossible to clean the glass. Also make sure you have enough room to fit your hand anywhere near the glass. Otherwise just make sure you like the looks of it when you...

My Maroon used to do this. I kept pushing the sand back and eventually the maroon gave up. It only did it though when there was a anemone in the tank. That died and it hasn't done it since.

List what you use for your reef or Fish only tanks. Likes and don't likes. Pros and Cons.

I don't know what type, just thought they were "Turbos". Anyway, can't be starvation, PLENTY algae for them to eat. They do like hair algae right? Got some of that. Trust me.

All my Turbo shells are becoming empty. Are they dieing then the crabs (2) are eating them. Or are the Pep Shrimp eating them? Why are they dieing? All I find is their empty shells. So annoying. I am almost positive I do not have a Mantis, so you don't have to suggest that.

What do you guys test for?

Hello?

Just buy new pads and replace half of them. That is what I do for the fluval.

Now if Im not mistaken all you want to do is clean out your filter. If that is it you will be fine. Just replace half of the filter pads and keep the other half for the bio, if you have filter pads. I would just do it taking into consideration the amount of water you are emptying from the...

I have a Fluval 303 and I clean it every couple of months. I take it all out really. Sometimes I leave 2 of the 4 foams in just for the bio. I replace the media and fill it back up. It hasen't seem to be a problem for me. I really don't think this is going to cause a cycle. Why would it...
