:eek: How stupid could I have been, I should of realized the saltwasnt evaporating too! I hope i havent hurt any of my critters. Thanks

Yea, I.m losing about 3gal a week to evaporationand getting alot of salt build up on the outside parts of filter. I have not added any water to replace this just during my regular water change which is with salt. Should I just add water without the salt each time I loose it because of...

What would cause my sallnity level to spike above 1.030 specific gravity? I do a 10% change in my 45gal corner around 1 time per week with water that has a specific gravity between 1.021 and 1.024. how can I get it back in line without hurting my system?

I've heard that fire worms will eat holes in the anemones stem and bore holes in the lr. Is this true or will the anemones be safe?

This has been in my tank for a while now and has really gotten big. What is it and is it safe for my tank? I have 2 perc clowns, a blue hippo tang, 2 damsels, lr, shrimp, crabs, snails, feather dusters, and will soon be getting some anemonies for the clowns.

A little over a week.

It's been up about 8 months now, damsels, clowns, hippo tang, crabs, snails, condies, are all just fine. The sebae was doing great until last night when the worm was inside. I'm not sure if its dead yet but some areas look torn and its shrunk some and detached itself from the lr. Some of its...

About the size of a #2 pencil and about 3 inches long, I think my sebae is dead this morning.

I just added a Sebae Anemonie to my tank and tonite I saw a bristle worm in the middle of it trying to get the piece of shrimp I fed it. Will the bristle harm my sebae,what should I do? Thanks

Actually to my suprise the damsels stayed away from him and hid in the LR. They have not even gotten close to him maybe because he's ashade bigger than them.

I just added a Perc Clown to my tank and he's acting funny(no pun intended). He was swimming throughout the tank when I first put him in, in the live rock alot. Now he has started just hanging out just above one of my powerheads right under the water surface. I took my time putting him in adding...

Here's a shot of the opening to the shell as you can see it didnt want to let loose of some cc.

Maybe you can tell by this picture what kind it is.

Sorry, it was a flamed scallop.

I just added a small clam, about the size of a silver dollar, with little red hairs coming out from the shell. Well during the night my queen conch found it and ate the clam. I thought they only ate alge and waste? Would it have ate the clam while it was alive or could it have died during the...

I was just wondering, my tanks been set up for a couple of months with 2 Yellow tail damsels, LR, 2 anenomies, 2 hermits, and snails. Is it possible to add a couple of clown fishes with the damsels or will I need to take the damsels out?

I have had the 45 gal tank up over 3 weeks now with no known amonia spike,still reads 0. Now tonite I tested and the nitrates are at 10ppm, should I be concerned about this level? I have read that the nitrate levels should be at 0. Thanks 30lbs of Cured LR CC Base Hanging wet/dry filter...

I have 2 powerheads in my 45gal corner tank placed on opposite sides one high and one low with lr in the center portion of the tank. I am also running a wet/dry hanging filter on the back, which with all 3 running gives me alot of water movement. should I place the powerheads on timers to give...

Thanks everyone, I just added 2 new ones, a peppermint shrimp, and a couple of crabs slowing things down a little and so far so good. By the way when I moved the other "dead ones" guess what, the were still alive! Maybe they are just being still until they completly adjust to their new home...
