ok, i just went to CVS and bought the CVS Brand "Super Glue Gel". It doesn't say anywhere on it, for marine use. Is this the glue I want to use? How can I tell if it is dangerous for my tank?

Quick question: I have had one blue mushroom polyp growing on a piece of LR for a few months...I recently bought better lighting and the polyp started growing pretty fast.

i put a 10 gallon tank under my 29 gallon...i was planning on starting a syphon from the display tank down to the sump and then having a pump bring the water back up. I was going to use 5/8" tubing and use suction cups or silicone to stick the tubing inside my tank (only 1" deep in the water...

ok, it was really weird....this is what happened... last night, at about exactly 24 hours after i put them in the tank, they all started to wiggle slowly, they did this for like 10 minutes, i thought it was funny how it took the same exact amount of time for them all to get used to the water and...

they're starting to move!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!! thanks for the responses everyone!!

thank you for giving me hope! :D

i tried moving some of them with a turkey baster,,and they don't respond at all...i don't know but i feel like they are dead

were they partially out of their shells?? were the antennas moving?

so it doesn't necessarily mean they are dead if their "feet" are out of their shells and aren't attatched to anything? also, their antennas aren't moving much. honestly they look dead, but i want to be sure...i feel like they should live,,based on how i acclimated them and my water. but they...

yes they are right side up,,,but what worries me is that some of them are like half-way out of their shells and aren't attached to anything, is that a bad sign? my water is fine, 82 degrees, 1.022 salinity, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and around 40 nitratres...i also just put a phosphate pad in the...

Hey everyone,,,a few weeks ago, algae started to accumulate on the parts of LR that are exposed to the light. i started to rub it off with a toothbrush, and then i went away for a little and i came back and the tank was covered in green, brown, and some purple looking algae. I brushed it off as...

whats up people..i am going away for about 3 weeks and I was wondering if there is any equipment that can automatically drip water into my tank to replace evaporated water. it seems like there should be one,,,if anyone knows anything about this pleasse let me know..! thanks a lot!

hey,,i just got a new Piscasso Triggerfish and acclimated him in my tank. He got used to the new enviroment and started eating in about an hour. he was swimming all over and checking out the hiding spots in the LR. about after 3-4 hours, i realized i didn't see him anymore and i begin to think...
