When my cleaner shrimp molts, he still has all his antenna. First time I saw the molt I was trippin cause I didn't know that is what I was looking at, I could clearly see the red striped shell and 4 looooong white antenna on one side of the tank, behind a rock, then I also saw my cleaner out...

I have a 55g and maybe 30 lbs of live rock in my tank. I also use a millenium 2000 with area for filter pads that I like for their ability to help keep the tank clean. I recently got a skimmer, but am still tweaking it. Question of the day is.... #1 If rinse them each week with my water...

Holy Cow, She can't be on here 24/7 at any one persons beck and call. You waited a whole minute to insist she answer you.. Search button is amazing, tons of info at your finger tips. Disease forum has tons too.....I bet if you start reading, some of your questions will be answered as fast as...

I have been having this same exact problem last 4 months or so. Several different types of fish dying before a week is out, including many chromis. Three different sources... Soooo I bought a tupperware tub and set up a QT with water from current tank, and live rock and rubble and still...

What is the differences of the blue hippo fish that come from these three different places? Or any other fish for that matter? They sell for different amounts...is there plus and minus to them?

I just got a AquaC Remora Pro with a Mag 3 skimmer. I was so worried about micro bubbles today, I didn't realize it made my tank go up to 84 degrees!!!! I have my air conditioner on and unplugged it 4 hours ago and still 84. How high before it hurts my fish. I am FOWLR.

So where is this at in the courts so far? You say she is court ordered to pay for it...did they give her a time limit? Our adopted daughter (who has some serious mental health issues from birth), got a restraining order to make a guy she was staying with leave his own apartment (his name only...

I recently had something very similar. I was told if you put a bit of food on its crown and it closes around it, it is more than likely aptasia. Also heard that feather dusters will suck the crown in and leave the tube, but my little thingy sucked the whole tube thing into the rock... I was...

Won't the Lionfish and Puffers EAT the shrimp and Royal Gramma??? :notsure:

I have this nice piece I paid $25 bucks for, Iwill sell it for that and ship free. email me at lillibirdy@wbcable.net Wow, sorry pic so big.......

Yea, I have that same problem, and I don't even have that much rock in my tank.....I finally got it so the mag float doesn't bump anything, so that helps. I hate it when I get it just right, cave and swim thrus... and just can't reproduce it again. On the other hand sometimes I do it better...

OMG I just went into the garge for something and thought...hmmmm, it is a few degrees chillier in here, and so I put a thermometer in there and it was RIGHT ON 68!!! Can't believe it, must be my lucky day! So I calibrated it with my distilled water, and checked it against my TWO diff...

I just got my new refractometer w/ automatic temp control. It says it MUST be calibrated in a room with a temp of 68 degrees. Well hmmmmm, am I sposed to just watch the thermometer all morning and eve trying to catch it when the room is just exactly 68? It seems to rush past that point quite...

I very much like the looks of CC, and when I earlier had the same question, I asked many people on several forums. The new way of running tanks is sand, and so folks will always tell you sand. But, CC is still alive and well out there and working fine for many people. And critters grow in it...

Little update. Got busy last night and left the rock in the tank water on the counter. This morning the little bugger had left the safety of the rock crevice, and was hanging on the side of the bowl & seems to be dead now. Maybe from all the tentacle tickling I did, but I thought they where...

OK then Aptasia it must be, because tube is way stretched out now, longer easier to see, looks just like feather duster...BUT,... entire thing disappears into the crevise if I touch it, so Joe's juice it is... Thanks everyone!

Since it has tucked itself into the rock crevise, it completely disappears when it is disturbed. So I can't see the tube at all anymore. I put some frozen mysys in the bowl with it and it didn't grab at it just ignored it. How long is it safe to wait before it spreads, (if it is aptasia)?

Well the rock is in a bowl right now with tank water, still can't get a pic. The tentacles did seem to wave in the current in the tank, but in the bowl they are rather still. I am not sure what you mean by more defined in one section...

I did a big google image search and they sometimes the two look very much alike, the feather dusters and Aiptasia. I was so excited to see this little thing, UNTIL it occured to me it might not be a teensy weensy baby feather duster. It has a teensy white tube, and tentacles coming out the top...

Why with Tangs inparticular?
