99 percent alcohol works well in conjunction with vinegar, and it evaporates cleanly. You just pour some into a clean microfiber cloth, and start scrubbing the tank with this and another vinegar cloth. Then using a sponge and a clean squeegee, remove the wet dust, and blow dry on high heat at a...

UUhhh... Yeah...I see... About that.. hmmmm. I'm actually not sure why I posted that. I'm sorry.

Repetitive exposure to one's own image can cause a fish to remember not to attack itself...

You can just buy a bottle of spray-on low E, a silver salt that is water resistant, but reflects light. Buy an acrylic sheet, and coat the back with low E, then spread gray silicon on the back. Now you can position it in the back of your tank. Low E is to be applied in coats, and the typical...

P.S. Do all of you want to kill her? She could die of poisoning coupled with palytoxins! And don't ruin your tank. Zoa fragging should always be done out of the water.

+1. I'm always warning people about palytoxin, which is an an organic compound released in the stress slime of zoas. That is why you always frag zoas out of the water. If you don't take my word for it, go ask reefkprz. Palytoxin is the most dangerous organic toxin know to science, and is host to...

I use a large wooden spoon to mix in just the right amount of salt. You must mix it in quickly, or the calcium will precipitate away from the salt water, creating a major deficiency in calcium. Then I use a power head pointed on the side of the bottom with a high output air pad (creates billions...

I do an iodine dip, then use a sponge filter in the QT with a mini tank light.

Yes. Two blennies with similar habitats in such a small tank is not a good idea. But at the same time, you shouldn't have a 5'' fish in a 29 gal biocube. You can have 5'' of fish, but not 5'' in one fish. I would personally take the lawnmower blenny back to the lfs and get the bicolor, even...

I don't care where your from, but we reefers don't take well to being sworn at, and then laughed at. Open your eyes! Has any other noob cussed? There is etiquette, and taboo in every forum. Don't you want t make a good impression?

Hey! Welcome! I was new to the hobby at 11, and at 13 I am almost an expert, though I try not to give advice unless I have actually tried it out myself. You know, I don't have much money either, and it has been tough. My advice: try a fish only with a ton of live rock ( you will regret how...

P.S. Your "Big Hermit" will eat your snails and take their shells, even if they are too small. The only reef safe hermits are reef hermit crabs, which look like red leg hermits, but are much smaller, and have proportionately tiny claws.

Get rid of the star, it won't do. But first things first. You aren't ever going to get another fish if you don't remove ALL of your damsels. Maybe one? No! Damsels are cute, charming, and extremely cheap. Never mind goldfish, you could buy feeder fish for less money! Yes, but they have a...

Do you have a mature and stable set up? Sea stars have extremely sensitive vascular systems, as they are echinoderms supported by water in the inside.

P.P.S. You know, human blood , well my own, does not taste too bad at all! Just a slight metallic tang to it, probably from the hemoglobin in it.

P.S. Once a fellow fish person fed her newly born mandarins human blood. They did fine at first, but then they all died.

You know, marine fish are constantly peeing very concentrated urine that contains PRIMARILY ammonia, as they absorb almost everything else (except for toxins), so it is different. I didn't get your joke, but now that you point it out, it is too hilarious to exist (ha ha ha). No, seriously. I was...

Yes, a clown goby would be a wonderful addition to your three gallon pico! they look like this https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4 This image is a ginormous representation! They are really just bout the size of this fish's anal fin. They also come in these colors...

People! Should we be ashamed of our posts of pee and cat cloacae? Really, I must, must, must agree with meowzer that urinating into an aquarium, which I must say many people put their hands and arms in to modify, is gross! Think about it! Do you pee into a urinal or toilet, and then plunge your...
