I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I have only done three water changes in the past year. (Something must be right.) I just bought my first test kit today since it looks like everything is going to live. I have heard so many horror stories about how tough salt water tanks can be, but this...

Yes, they look just like that, although they are usually hiding in or under shells or in the live rock - GROSS!!! But then, I don't like worms!

Oh, and two really strange looking creatures. They're flatish, oval shaped & schmuck to the glass similar to a snail, but usually just under the sand. They are whitish in color.

That sounds exactly like what I have. Should I just leave them alone? I scrap them off the glass once in a while just so I can see clearly. I also seem to have acquired some type of fairly long worm, reddish brown in color, with a million legs. Are these dangerous? They must have hitched a...

They are very small. The tank is only a 25 gallon tank. These things don't really look like worms, but who knows. They don't seem to be creating any problems. I was just curious at this point.

I set up a very basic tank a little over a year ago because I was stupid enough to bring back a couple of small hermits and fiddler crabs from the ocean. I thought it would be a good learning experience for our boys. It was and however over a period of just a few months the hermits grew so...

I'm not at home, but my gues would be that it is at least 24 inches. What is a "pc" fixture? My husband is an electrician so I'm sure he knows. The crabs seem to be quite happy in their separate tank (and growing larger every day). I just read online that you shouldn't keep them, that I...

Very small - 20 gal. It started out because my husband and I brought home some small hermit crabs from North Carolina thinking . . . well, they won't live. HAH! The suckers won't die and continue to get larger, so we've moved them to a tank of their own because I think they were killing the...

Teresa, Thanks for the info on the sea hare. This site doesn't seem to have any, but I'll keep seaching. I obviously don't know the correct terminology for some of these creatures and what they are made up of, but my polyp is attached to a small rock and the "flowers" seem to hide in small...

Thanks! I will get the book. The kids (3 boys) and I are having a ball with this tank. You're right about this site being good for info. I had a Lettuce Slug who accidently got sucked into the filter. I just read about someone else on this site who had the same problem. It sounds like you...

I believe they are just two 25 watt bulbs (standard aquarium bulbs). Turning off my light isn't going to hurt the fish? They just seem so sluggish - is that normal? Please excuse my stupidity. Still have alot to learn!

Hi, I'm new to the marine aquarium world. So far, no problems and we've had the tank about 6 months. However, about 2 months ago we purchase a hunk of live rock. Now, all of a sudden I've notice some creatures that I KNOW I didn't buy. They look like long worms that somewhat resemble a...
