when i first went and got everything to set my tank up the LR that i bought had a brittle star hidden somewhere in it, i did not know this till i was looking the rocks over a few hours later(it was just in a plastic bag, no water) and seen one of its legs move, ya i jumped. but any way in it...

you mean slowly as in weeks days or slowly as in hours? SA

ill keep ya posted as to how it goes, thanx for the help

the tank is only a 6gal, i think its about 13"X9" not sure how deep i would like the sand to be, what ever is the best i will use, wether its 4" or 1" but im not going to go bare bottomed, for looks mainly. But being as it such a small system i want the sand to help keep my water clean(i do...

what method would you suggest for cycling the ls? How much would i need? I seen that the LFS has a tank with a bunch of LS in it and nothing else but it has alot of green algea on top of it, should i shop else where or would it be ok to start with it? thanx again SA

i started my tank in jan, its an eclipse 6. I added about 6 lbs of crushed coral when i started it not knowing about all of the probs with it, now i want to swich to LS, is it possible now? how would i go about swapping one for the other? I have clown as well as the usual clean up crew, and 6...

ive only been putting it in every 3 days or so, the tank is only a 6gal so ive only been using 2ml at a time as well. The prob is going to be that i dont have enough lighting, but am in the process of trying to find one that will fit, but thats a topic for a nother post and off topic for here SA

So yesterday at the LFS i was looking at the LR in the tank there and was surprised to find a small piece in the back that had a big blue mushroom coral growing on it that no one had noticed. So then i did the proper thing and bought it for $6.00. Now that i have it home and it is open and...

the LR that had the aiptasia on it

ok, so the LFS traded my camel shrimp for a peppermint shrimp yesterday. This morning when i got up and looked in the tank the peppermint shrimp is no where to be found. I even went as far as to use a maglight to look in the caves, but cant find it. Then i seen my cleaner shrimp with the peps...

thanx for the good luck, but no help with the question? SA

great, so i went and got myself a peppermint shrimp to get rid of my aips and i was just looking at the invert section here and I think the fish store sold me camelback shrimp as peppermint shrimp!!!! Is there any easy way to tell the 2 apart? what would you do? dont suppose the camelbacks...

would 32w(current USA sunpaq) be enough light in a 6gal to sustain some soft corals and mushrooms and such? should i try and fit in the 56(hamilton reef light hood) or 64w(sunsaq) instead? Id like to use the 32 it im able due to heat and space issues. Id love to hear your opinions thanx SA

so now that ive read all sort of tips on how to get rid of aips, what do you think is the best way? I will get a peppermint shrimp if it wont harm my other inhabitants( anemone shrimp, cleaner shrimp, perc clown, 4 crabs 3 snails, brittle star). So far I can only see 3 of the aiptasias in...

ok i think i might have figured it out......aiptasia(sp?)...i think....on my LR today, well a while ago i first seen it i guess, I saw this white worm looking little tubey thing kinda curled on the rock, but then today i see 2 and there are these small(like1/4") little cup shaped ends on them...

yes i have LR, about 6 lbs, its a 6 galon eclipse. why do you think that there is something on the rock doing it to him?

it looks exactly like the second from bottom pic, the bright one. but i dont have anything that would sting in my tank. SA

My clown that i have had for about 3 weeks is starting to get black "spots" coming out in his orange, any ideas? SA
