I got very lucky with my blue linkia. The guy at the LFS told me they were very hardy and acclimate just like a fish. I acclimated him for about an hour and he hid for like two weeks. I thought killed him after reading posts on here. That was 5 months ago. He's all over the place now after...

I have a 30g long tank. It is 18" tall and about 36" long. I currently have 2x95w VHO (Super actinic & Aquasun) and 20w NO Actinic. I would like to keep acropora SPS and colorful clams. I have a chance to upgrade to 250W metal halide for $95 if I act now. Would this lighting be okay or would...

My emerald crab was a dull green when I got him 4 months ago. Now he is crusty gray. What could be wrong?

I have a 30 long with a clarki clown, blue damsel, and a flame angel. They are all active, get along, and add brilliant color.

Mine just got through doing this. The "trunk" got lumpy and deformed and the next thing I knew I had 4 xenias instead of two.

I have 45lbs of lr, dsb, skilter 400. I know I can't put them in at once but how many total in the end?

I went to change my filter media in my Skilter and there were maybe a 100 of these little white bugs in there. They had two little feeler looking things protruding from the head. My system has been up and running for about 5 months now and I've never seen these things before. They are...

mattjtitus I bought my xenia and it was a little over an inch tall about 4 months ago. It has since grown 3 inches and split into 4 different stalks. The only thing I add is Kent Phytoplex and Kent Coral Accel. Thanks guys, I am definately thinking of the Scott's Multicolored Wrasse or a...

I know they have to be small and 3 may be even too many. What are the best and most beautiful fish I can put in here? I have a green open brain, red lobophylia brain, pulsing xenia, numerous mushrooms, red chili cactus coral, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, snails and hermits. I've got a...

I bought mine back in August and I was very happy with it. It came heavigly encrusted with coraline algae. It's been in my tank for a while now and I'm starting to get sponges, polyps,and other things growing all the time. Every time I look in the tank I see something new. Plus I saved a lot...

I got mine about a month and a half ago. I placed him in the tank for all to see only for him to hide behind a rock within a few hours. He stayed there for about 3 1/2 weeks even when the lights went out. Now when the lights go out he is all over the place. He is even starting to move a...

The sound could be coming from your lobster. This is from the description of a reef lobster on another website. "Be sure to listen for me to sing to you after I become established. I am capable of making a sound that is very similar to a cicada (locust). In addition to singing I may dance...

Marc Wiess actually sells a 175 and 250 Watt floodlight for about $50 and $80 respectively. They are designed for reefs and are called Wiesslites and fit in regular light bulb fittings with no special ballast. Has anyone else heard of these?

In my house my fiance reminds me weekly of how much I spent in the first place. I am then required to spend that amount each week on her at the mall. For I have made the devil.

Dockery07 I live over on Hulen Street right by the mall. I usually go to Fish Paradise on Alta Mesa and Aquarium Fish over at Ridgemar. I haven't been too happy with the selection and being that I'm new to the hobby I was wondering if there were any places better to go. Do you have any...

I tried Kent RxP yesterday and the popeye is already gone. Most of the spots are gone and the fish is swimming normally and eating. I'll continue the treatment for the suggested time and do a major water change at the end of medication. Thanks for the help!

If I set up a hospital tank, what do I treat them with? There is a ***** right across the street and they have just about everything.

30g, 45lb live rock, 1 Clark's clown, 1 percula clown, 2 scarlet crabs, 3 blue crabs, deep sand bed. When I added the liverock an ammo spike occured. This was about a week ago just before the problem started. Could that have something to do with it?

What is this? I've seen ICK in a freshwater tank and from what I remember the spots were very pronounced and close to the scales. This are almost like little bubbles and the are all over the dorsal area. The clown also has a large pop eye. I have noticed this over the past several days. The...
