I have been fortunate enough to see these guys in the wild, they are truely amazing.

I haven't purchased one yet, but I'm leaning towards the Korallin reactor myself. As far as clams go, I have 2 and several hard corals. So far I have had great success with the calcium drip.

I just looked them up on the web, they seem to be fairly rare.

Seems high to me even for a LFS. It might be good for your area though.

It's possible to set a tank up and never have to wait a day if you have a good source of live rock and sand. I did it myself while I was living in the tropics and never had a problem. I also never had to worry about losing fish or expensive invertabrates because I could just go to the beach and...

Wet dry filters work fine, in fact they had a big part in helping the hobby evolve to where it is today (that and understanding lighting needs). A lot of people still use them with great results. One of the problems with wet dry filters is channeling of the water. In order for it to work at...

I've kept octopus a coupel of times. They do have short life spans, I don't know about 12 months, my last one lived for about 2 years. I kept mine in a 20 gallon tank. It was one of the coolest animals that I have ever had. Extreamly smart. One word of caution, aside from being able to get out...

Ask the LFS to plug one in so that you can see if you like the color. The spectrum is fine for corals.

Anytime you add new fish to an established aquarium there's always a chance that it will be picked on.

I use that much wattage on my 20 gallon tank. This particular aquarium I have had for 34 years now, so it has seen a lot of changes...lighting being the main one. I started with one standard florescent tube, then 4 then, then 2 day bulbs and 2 atenics, then 2 55watt compact 50/50's, then 4 55...

Looks like planaria (flat worms), I have seen a few tanks completely infested with these. They reproduce asexually and sexually, so they can multiply quickly. From what I have read most are non-parasitic and feed on algae, ditrius and small copepods. The parasitic forms however feed on corals...

Turbo snails will help with the diatoms along with a good protein skimmer. I had problems with green algae until I increased my calcium.

Is there really a best SW fish or coral? My favorit is always the one that is alive and doing well. I have a purple tang that was in poor condition when I got him, he still bears the scares of his neglect, but is doing very well. Research your fish and make a choice based on what conditions you...

The book "Giant Clams" by Daniel Knop is a great source of imformation.

Mine usually looks like that just before the lights come on. After a short period of time it will expand from abour 5" to well over 12". Check your parameters too just to make sure everything is in order.

Under google type key word; sea slugs, there's a forum there that might help you identify yours along with it's specific needs.

I'll start with the easy one. Even though you didn't indicate what type eel you have, most are easy to care for. A good diet of a varity meaty foods, shrimp, clams, fish (not gold fish), squid, etc. I usually buy these at the grocery store and prepair (clean, chop and freeze, not cook) them...

I'm with Kitty, I've caught hundreds puffers, sharp nose, dog face and porcupine, I probably even had cuts on my hands as I often did while diving. I'll admit, I never put my hands inadvertantly in my mouth, but I probably have eaten without washing after catching fish. I also have a porcupine...

Molusks make the shells...sorry couldn't resist.

First off, I would put the angle in the QT. Any sick fish is fair game. it's the nature of the beast. Most puffers are sold when they are small, 2-4". I purchased mine at about 3" a year ago and he is now 7" with a voracious appetite. He will eat everything including small fish, as yours get...
