    Is my starfish dead?

    Some Stars will release their stomach out from this mouth to engulf their prey. It's a process called "prolapse", you can google it for further information. BTW, your tank looks awesome.

    convert freshwater tank to a saltwater?

    With a 20 gallon tank, the rule is a limit of 8 fish. They can be any size, just don't go over 8 total. That gives them about 2.5 gallons per fish which is more than enough. "Keep on Rock'n in the Free World."

    Need to remove from tank?

    Hello, my green eye has been in my tank for couple months now and for a month now some of the pollyps have died and some have gotten bigger. Do I need to clip out the dead ones? Will it effect my water quality like if a fish died? Thank You.

    bio cube or eclipse

    I wasted alot of time, money and effort on the eclipse 12, didn't know any better. Now I have a nano-cube and couldn't be happier. Unless you want to deal with hard to find add ons/ mods go with the cube imo.

    To glue or not to glue?

    Oh, I should say, the reason I ask if it's ok to glue it is because the LFS said it would move to where it wants and I don't want to make it stay somewhere it doesn't want to.

    To glue or not to glue?

    I have a green eye zoo that is shaped like a ball. When I place it on a rock all the polyps open, but over time it rolls to the cave part of my LR where there is not much rock and there it closes it's polyps and only opens the few big ones that have no color. I do not know if it's moving by its...

    Crystal clear slime water?

    U can't tell there is slime until the last of the water is driping of something or out of something, the consistancy of slime is only noticable when dripping from something.

    What is a sump/ refuge?

    OK, I understand that a refuge is like a secondary tank off of a main tank that can house things. Is a "sump" the same thing? Is the enclosed back area of my nano tank that has three tiers, one for sponge, next for carbon, then filter considered a refuge area?

    What does this mean?

    The saddleback I added today seems ok, but the white areas on him have a light pink shade. Is this normal, my two percs I used to have never had this.

    LR Rubble + Sponge Placement?

    Cycling my new 12g jbj nano dx. I removed one of the sponges in the first compartment. Should the sponge I leave in be at the bottom or should I bring it up to the top where the one I took out was sitting? I removed the bio balls and ceramic rings and have only the carbon bag left in second...

    Can I keep some of my crew?

    OK, i'll take them all back to the LFS. It's a 12 hour drive for her, so I am just going to have enough water in the tank to cover the LR/LS. Thanks for the help.

    is it just me???

    I think alot of new people such as myself have questions about common situations, but don't read specific answers to "our" questions" Such as my last post on feather dusters, I read all the archives on placing them, but it was specific enough for me to find out how deep to burry them. But a...

    Placing Feather Dusters?

    Oh, also, I have them in a spot where when i put food in the water. It cirulates by them, but as far as a better flow area for them, is near the part of filter that sucks up the water, considered a high flow area, or just where the water is comming into the tank?

    Placing Feather Dusters?

    I searched all the posts on feather dusters, but still trying to figure out if I burried them in the sand right. Am I even suposed to burry them, or just place them in tank and let them? If so, are the crowns suposed to be close to the sand bed? Right now, I have almost half of thier tubes in...
