I had a tank set up for a year and I didn't get any coraline until I got compact fluorescent lights for my coral. Before that I was using a 29w fluorescent light. I think light helps coraline growth.

My Sun Polp doesn't open up either. I have had it for over 3 weeks and the only time it opens up is if I use Selcon. Marine Snow doesn't seem to get it open. I have to force it to open by using Selcon every 3 days, otherwise it will stay closed? Does this mean it is not hungry?

I have 3 mexican trubo snails, 7 hermit crabs and 40 nassarius snails. Is that enough? Any recommendations is appreciated.

I am using a 192w compact fluorescent light. It is a 46 gallon tank.

I didn't think it was normal for the sand to turn green and red. I have to clean my glass every week to keep the green algae from getting out of control. The tank is 13 months old.

I have my candycane for over 2 weeks now. I have read in this forum that it is suppose to have tenticles stretching out at night. I have never seen it on mine and I have noticed yesterday that the branches are turning from dark red to white. Can anyone tell me if it is dying?

I currenlty have a clown goby and it hasn't grown at all since I had him for 12 months now. I am thinking of adding a diamond goby to clean up my sand. Can anyone tell me if they will be compatible in the same tank?

I want to get some feedback about this retailer. Their prices seems reasonable, but it looks like the site might not be updated too often.

Do you know of any place that might make custom covers?

I just bought a compact fluorescent light for my 46 Gallon Oceanic bow shape tank. The instructions says not to put the light directly over the tank. My current cover is not transpareant except for like 4 inches where my regular florecent lights goes on. I will need to remove the entire cover...

If I should not do a water change, should I scrub the black spots on the rock in the current water that is in the tank or scrub them in tap water?

I bought 9 lbs of live rock to add to my current tank which has been running for 11 months now. I placed the rocks in a 6 gallon eclipse tank that I had lying around with the filer running. 2 days later when I check the ammonia level, it was at 8.0. Should I change the water or leave it and...

What is the guideline for coral (watts / gallon)?
