I figured, I have just never had fish this small and didnt want to work them into cardiac arrest ha thanks

I know this is going to sound dumb to most who read it but I am curious. I have never had a powerhead that pushes so much water for my corals. I am curious if everyone lets them run all day. I have been turning it off with the lights on the timer and letting the fish rest at night. They look...

Cool I dont know if I will ever see a whole worm but pretty neat how intricate tanks can be. Not until I started keeping coral did I notice all of these details. I guess staring at smaller immobile objects makes you notice things more. I cant believe how long I've been keeping tanks w/o corals...

Spot on! I googled it and that is definitely it, at least some variant. Says they are scavengers and do not pose threat to corals or fish would you confirm that to be true assuming thats what they are? It said there are many different subspecies but very few are a threat or concern. This is...

Seems to be just one per tube and they range from maybe 2-4 maybe 5 cm. Most just come out of the sand but I moved a rock and exposed some of the tube looking sand houses. Looks like a clear tube with pieces of sand glued around it.

I have these small thin whitish/clear tentacle things growing out of what looks like tubes made from my substrate. They are popping up all around the bases of my rocks. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks guys, the birdsnest has grown in fluffiness since as well. Seems like tons of polyps are growing out of the branches so I am excited. I am happy to be having some luck with my first corals.

I recently got a hamlet and was curious if anyone else has one or has any info they would like to share about experience etc. He seems to be doing good, eating flake and fresh krill right now. Just looking to get a little more knowledge then the typical paragraph description Ive found everywhere.

ok thanks for the tip and heads up, and all the help Flower! Do you recommend the JBJ/do you like it? acrylic51, Thanks for the info on the other thread but that was wayy over my head ha. All those wires, I wish I was that good but I could barely understand what I was reading. For 70 bucks I...

Is this worth it for if im on vacation to keep the reef healthier or would getting a glass top just for these occasions be wiser? I get the overall idea how they work, but are they sensitive enough for a 10g tank or will they make salinity too unstable? Also what are you referring to when you...

Can someone explain to me how these are made? I am thinking I need to make one of these for my new tank for when I go on vacation as it is a topless tank. Any help is appreciated

Here you can see white coming out of the fingers, the points I was referring to Here is the monti, the left side was almost as flat as the right but is now kinda curling up Thanks for looking, Im hoping that my tank starts to look better after a couple months, it looks so empty. Any tips of...

I just got a barred hamlet does anyone else have experience with these or have/had one?

I am new to corals as well and have only had mine for a few weeks, Id go with a frogspawn and mushrooms, they seem to be the quickest adjusting corals I bought. Of all the frags I have gotten they seem the most established in the least amount of time which i would assume equates to hardiness. My...

Ya I know they are harder to keep, but I do about 3/4g WC every 4 days. The monti has started to curl on the ends already and when I bought it it was flat. The Birdsnest arms were knubs and now they look pointy. Im not sure what this means but looking at more mature specimens seems like possible...

I have a 10g with a few new frags. I have a birdsnest, a few zoa, some GSPs, a frogspawn and a monti. I am new to corals and am curious if anything should be done to help make these guys reach maximum health such as marinesnow or any other supplement. Also any particular signs i should be...

I had a powerhead pushing 150gph but upon your suggestion I just bumped it up to 500gph model haha The flow has already seemed to make a difference. Obviously on the sand but even the rock has stopped progressing in darkness. Not to mention, the fish absolutely love it ha! And as far as a sump...

I think that some aquarium taboos are situational. My trigger lived with my lion for over two years until i sold the tank. Never picked at him. Same with the eel, my snowflake just happened to be real mean and dominate the tank. I was simply stating what I had going on for a while not saying it...

I use RO water and I have over 30x turn over in the tank so should the light acclimation be enough? thanks for all your help btw smallreef. I have always kinda done my aquariums half way in appearance and Im looking to really make this one special.

Go with a different eel, I was never a fan of my snowflake he was way to aggressive and never stopped trying to get out of the tank. I have had a brazilian dragon and a zebra and both were a lot more entertaining to tank inhabitants and me. I had a brazilian in with a antennata lion and a red...
