    Unknown Visitor????

    Worst case is you have a mantis shrimp especially if you start to see fish come up missing. If you can take a look in the hole or go the the tank when the lights are out and see if you can see what it is.

If you allow the rock and sand to do there job you will save yourself some water and time. The fuge only...

    help please with anemone

    You just answered your question. Who sold you that anenome. I really hope it wasnt from an LFS. Anenomes are very very sesative to water quality, you tank is probably still cycling and killed it. Most people wont recomend putting an anenome in a tank less than 6 mos old and that is for well...
