    NANO questions

    What size tank do you mean by "nano"? A 5-gallon is a nano. Do you want bigger or smaller? My opinion is in saltwater the bigger is always better.

    NANO questions

    Bristle Worm(s)

    Thanks! I think I'll leave him alone. I don't have any corals now...well I have some unkown thing, either a polyp or bta that was a hitchiker on lr. But I don't really care if he eats it becuase I only have flourescents and I think it will die eventually...I did the test of putting a net near it...

    Help!!!!! new six line wrasse is dying

    I'm not an expert, my only guess would be that he is acclimating to the tank. How did you acclimate him to your qt? drip?? float?? how long? I wouldn't mess with him and just watch him for several days. You might want to return him if he isn't seeming better after a week. idk, that's my opinion.

    odd starfish? or hitchhiker?

    Hi. I was looking at my rock this morning and spotted something very odd moving along the bottom of a cliff sort of thing.. It looked like a starfish until I saw it was missing it's bottom two legs! Then I noticed it didn't look like a starfish in the way it moved. What would this be? It is...

    Bristle Worm(s)

    Hello, I was looking at my tank and I discovered a bristleworm. It is very small in diameter (don't know length yet). I turned off the light and left it off for about 10 minutes, came back and looked in the same place and the worm had stretched out of his hole about 1 inch..maybe, (sorry he went...

    ?Lighting Question?

    Hi. I am looking into buying a MH light and I had a few questions for you experts... 1. I have a glass cover on the aquarium and I was wondering if it would be fine just to mount the lights over the glass cover? 2. If not, what would I do to "cover" the tank? (don't want fish jumping out)

    Neon Dottyback

    Ugh...once again trying to find a great stocking list... ...It's pretty much impossible in this hobby, once you think you have a great one, you see one more fish you want to sneak in, but you know you can't. This time with me it is the Neon Dottyback. Reading about them it says that they are...

    Live Rock from this site...

    You could have no die-off, but I would play it safe. Maybe something died and just isn't smelling yet ? I would cure it in a tub and keep testing the water for a spike.

    Protein Skimmer

    Hey, I bought a SeaClone 100 skimmer, and am very dissapointed...luckily I got it from a well known site for $20 new, so not much of a loss. What skimmer brands are nice, but not overexpensive? I know Berlin is good, but I want some other options becuase of my budgets, any input would be great!
