    Im moving in a week and 1/2 what is the best way....

    Hi, Moving is a pain but it can be done. This is what I did and I lost nothing in the move. Sand will take about two hours of not disturbing it at all for it to settle. Putting in water, moving rock, anything at all, and it stirs it up all over again. The best thing you can do is set up your...

    Hi, I have a 12" pink tube anemone. It shrinks down to a little sac on the rock, if I didn't know where to look I would never see it. It shrinks to about the size of a dime. One time I saw the sally lightfoot digging at the sac and I thought my anemone was a goner. Two days later it was out and...

    Anemones do this. It is how they "clear" themselves. He will come back out just relax. When an anemone bites the dust they look like snot.

    Sand or Crushed Coral

    Hi, I also started out with crushed coral. It was a big job but I do really like the sand much better. I have a sand sifter goby now and he keeps it real clean and white. The crushed coral always looked bad.

    tube anemone

    Hi, An anemone is a living creature that moves where it wants to go. Unlike coral that you have to place or bury. If your anemone detached itself it isnt happy. Leave it alone to find its own place. It sounds really stressed. Just leave it alone.

    Pink Tube Anemone

    Hi, Here is a picture of mine. He tried to kill himself about four times. They like to get all tangled into the powerheads when moving. So be sure to cover them. Mine likes the very center of the tank. My fish know to leave him alone.

    did I kill my live rock?

    Hi, Fresh RO water did kill everything living on the rock. The good news is that if you purchase more rock, even just a little, it will reseed the rocks you already have. Those little critters that live in the rocks all get eaten by the fish eventually anyhow. If you don't have a way to...
