    Need filter for 10g

    Looking for ideas for a good filter for a 10g Nano. I have an Aquatic Life 115 skimmer in there at the moment, but I need some sort of mechanical filtration. I currently have two damsels, a spot tailed blenny, a couple of peppermint shrimp and about 6 snails. Also I have about 8 lbs of live...

    He flushed a big Yellow Tang!

    One of my friends was moving this weekend and was offering me some of his fish since he was starting from scratch when he moved into his new house. I took a filefish and some live rock but was unable to take a big 5-6" Yellow Tang since I had one in my 125 already and didn't want to deal with...

    Coral ID please

    That's what I've been reading. I'm looking at a way to isolate them and frag them also.

    Coral ID please

    Upon further research, it looks like what they refer to as blue snowflake polyps https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Aquacultured-Blue-Snowflake-Polyps--Limit-1_p_3882.html

    Coral ID please

    A lfs tossed in a tiny frag a few months back when I made a purchase. It has grown considerably since and I've been trying to figure out what it is. It was smaller than the size of a dime. It looks like a small clump of purple "flowers". Anybody have an idea what this is? This is what it...

    I figured as much for the yellow tang. What about the file fish? Sent from my overpriced iPod Touch using Tapatalk

    What munches on spaghetti worms?

    I have spaghetti worms all over the tank and was wondering what kind of fish would get rid of the majority of them. I've been doing water changes and feeding less to try to lessen the amount but it seems that some extra help is needed.

    UV Sterilizers

    Would you consider it a good way to get rid of bubble algae?

    UV Sterilizers

    So would you say that it would be counterproductive to have one in a setup with a fuge?

    Female Anthias doesn't like new mate!

    Interesting. I can see this happening. Well the male didn't make it, he was too badly beat up. I guess the next one will have to be a female if this one has made the change. Thanks for all the input. Sent using Tapatalk mobile

    Female Anthias doesn't like new mate!

    I've had a female orange Anthias for about a month now. I purchased a red male on Thursday and ever since, she's been chasing him all over the tank and leaving him cowering in a corner all day long. Other than putting him in my quarantine tank, what can I do to alleviate this?

    Vacation Feeding Question

    I have been setting up a 20 gal brute can as an ATO when I leave out of town and it's worked just fine. From what I'm noticing, the amount of top off is no where as drastic as it was in the summer. I just want to make sure I have all my bases covered beforehand. I'll be doing a small water...

    Vacation Feeding Question

    I'll be going on vacation soon and was wondering if an automatic feeder would do the job while I'm gone. I usually feed my fish twice a day, frozen in the morning and flakes in the evening. Would they be alright with just flakes and pellets for two weeks? I have a neighbor who is willing to...

    To quarantine or not to quarantine

    Your best bet for QTing is to use your tank water to set up the QT and to do water changes (as long as that water is excellent). Changing out about a gal a day is a good practice. This way, when it comes time to transfer fish over to the display, the water is near the same, and you minimize...

    Now that had to hurt.

    Yesterday after acclimating my yellow tang, I reached in with my hand to pull him out and place him in my tank and remembered just in time about the spines.
