My red leg hermits are eating my Margarita Snails. The snails keep falling off of the glass and rocks. They always land upside down and the red legs start picking at them right away. Any ideas why this happens? Tanks has been up since September and all I have in it is one damsel and one goby...

These photos are terrible but I think you will be able to see what I am talking about. The first one is maybe aiptasia. I don't want to get rid of it unless that is in fact what it is. I would like to know what the second one is as well. Thanks.

I have two power strips plugged in behind my tank stand. The power strips are each in their own tupperware container. I cut out small holes along the top edge of each container to run cords into them and then put the lids back on. This way I can run the cords down to the floor and back up to...

I just ordered my Ca and Mg test kits. Would some of you suggest the best (best in your opinion) additives to use to boost Ca and Mg levels. I was going to go with Aragmilk since it seems like that would do the trick. Should I add Iodine too? Just wondering what others use and what you all...

Anyone have 96W PC lights or something better that'll work on a 36" tank? I have a 2 x 55W PC Retrofit and a triple tube NO fixture (both are like new, used a couple of months) to trade or sell if anyone wants them. email me if interested: kline@al.umces.edu

I just got a shipment of : 20 Red Leg Hermits 20 Turbo Snails 2 Peppermint Shrimp 2 Emerald Crabs I have a 46 gallon tank with one damsel in it. I have a fish trap ordered to get rid of it. It is very aggressive. LFS was nice enough to tell me that they will take it back and sell it again...

I just got a used PC light fixture. There are two bulbs in it and I am not sure what Wattage they are. There is a combination of numbers and letters on the bulb and in the middle of this there is a 55. Do you think the bulbs are 55W? I would also like to know what is the difference between a...

Got a shipment of live rock (Florida Rock) today. Stuff really looks good. Has a decent amount of Coraline on it and I believe I got more than I ordered by a pound or two. I figured I would post this just in case anyone was thinking about ordering from them.

I have some Halameda (I think that is the right spelling) on one chunk of live rock and would like to put in a couple of other places. Is it rooted? How would I go about moving it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bededog

Anyone ever got it? They say 20-25 pounds? Well, if you get 25 then great. If you get 20 then you are out 20%. Just wondering if anyone has weighed or has an estimate of how much they actually got. Thanks.

My fluval canister (404) came with a lot of carbon and ceramic thingies. I set up the thing with two chambers with carbon and two chambers with the ceramic thingies. It also has a big foam filter that the water goes through first. Anyone want to suggest the best/most efficient use of this...

Does anyone know of any companies that make reef ready nano tanks that come with everything you need for a reef tank? I am talking a small tank with PC or better lighting, maybe a refugium off of the back or an overflow. Just wondering. I have a great place in my office for one someday. Thanks.

Tank set up for 7 weeks now. Tried to cycle with Damsels and two of them died. I left them in there and they are gone now. The other one has lived for 5 weeks. I put a cocktail shrimp in there last week for 36 hours and took it out when I put in 2 nice big pieces of uncured live rock. I...

This might be tough but here goes: The first thing has many clear/transparent tentacles, it is only out at night when the lights are out (viewed via light from flashlight) and they go and hide as soon as you turn the light on. They almost look like how you would draw the sun, round with the...

I currently have a triple tube normal fluorescent light fixture and I have a 96W PC light coming sometime next week. Should I lose the triple tube or maybe put some actinic or other bulb in it. I am really only planning on a coral or two that don't need MH lighting or intense lighting. Any...

I set up my tank with carbon in two of the trays in my canister filter. Mostly because that is what the LFS told me I needed. Will all that carbon keep my tank from cycling? I have had the tank up for nearly 6 weeks. I started with three damsels as per the LFS recommendation without any...

Anyone have any suggestions for what to look for as far as unwanted or bad organisms that might come on this uncured live rock? The rock itself is beautiful. I is coved with purple and pink coraline algae. Would I be correct in assuming that the orange stuff is coraline as well? Anyone want...

does anyone have one and do they work? could someone tell me how much room is needed behind the tank to hang one of these off of the back? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have one of these? Like it? Does it work? How much room would one need to get it behind the tank?
