There is no way for me to get a pic of this tiny white nocturnal crab that I found in my lr. It is just white , has claws but small. He is about 1/2 inch across. He picked up my blue ricordia that is not attached yet and tried to use it as a door to his hole in lr. He does not wander far...

I will start adding some coral, all the fish are happy so why mess up a good thing right? I have quite a supply of pods and I think the dragonet is eating them. I also turn off the pump for a minute to allow brine or cyclops to get on rock and bottom for him. He has grown since I got him (such...

Semper Fi! My granddad was a Marine in nam. The Brotherhood has taken good care of my mom when she was young. I saw a rose bubble tip anemone in the lfs. It was 3.5" diameter but on its left side it had 3-4 forked tentacles and a crease on that same side that ran all the way down its foot...

I tested the well water 6 ways to Sunday and all readings were good but thanks for your personal experience. Since someone has tried it and found it no good and since algae was creeping I gave in and got ro/di from Wally world and it has improved tank. Thanks for all your help this thread is...

I am new to this site too but if you do a search for nano pics or go to the fish photography section on this site you will find alot of info it really helped me. Stay on the nano part of the site and nearly everone with an established tank has posted a pic. Don't just look at 24gal check out...

I am new to SW and have a 24gal nano. I was posting ? on the newbie board and was getting conflicting advice from the 175 gal people and then nano cubers. I have seen pics of some of your gorgeous tanks, I hope that mine can be like that in the future. I have a standard JBJ nano 24 gal dx...

I have searched this board and archives and I know the discussions on RO/DI water versus tap .....but I have well water that comes up from 350 feet below the surface it is cold clear and tastes great! It has PH of 7.8 no chlorine, phospates, nitrates, nitrites or ammonia. It is as natural as...

I want to thank everyone for their helpful advice. :jumping: Between a great lfs, this site and books I am off to a great start. 2months into it brown algae gone calcarous alge growing as planned and fish are happy :happyfish . Just visiting lfs too much to drool over their corals and...

I did find the photo section and like the reefylooks that I do not have yet but someone told me not to fill the tank with live rock. Wait then as I add zoanthids, soft coral and mushrooms add rock to place them then because they come on rock. So now waiting is the key fish are happy, I am happy...

Thanks for the coral suggestions I will read up on them. I know that I can get them at a reputable lfs and they may cost more but only 10 min from store to quarantine is a plus it has to be. Are there any recommended ways to arrange the rock when the coral is added? I know they need space for...

My tank cycled and came back to 0 and is still. fish are fed one time per day taking pellets (just a bit) and crushing them (all my fish have small mouths) I have 2 24 watt 50/50 dual spectrum bulbs with 2 cooling fans as lighting any suggestions about rock? thanks for replying
