Two weeks ago I purchased a gold striped maroon clown and a GBTA. The LFS told me to put the GBTA right into my tank and I have the clown in QT. The GBTA immediately moved to the deepest darkest spot in my tank and I hadn't seen him until two days ago when he started moving out. He looked...

I'm looking for anyone who owns these or has seen them in person? are they as pretty as the pictures show? I'm thinking of a small school of them for my 150.

Help! what could be killing my snails and why won't my tiger cucumber clean my sand! My sand looks horrible. It's not clean white - it's got a brownish algae on it - it's not slimy algae or red cyano - it just looks dirty. I added two queen conchs in my tank 2 months ago - never saw them again...

I added a tiger cucumber to my tank 4 weeks ago. He immediately climbed up onto a small mushroom rock and stayed there for three days. I never saw him again, until today. BTW, my sand still looks horrible, so he's obviously not doing his job. Today, I found him about 8 inches up from the sand...

I have a beautiful flame hawk that has been in my QT for four weeks. He needs a new home desperately - he's not getting along with the fish in my display, so he needs to find himself another home. Any takers in New Jersey or the tri-state area? $35?

I have ended up with two flame hawks and now need to know if they can exist in the same display tank? We thought we'd lost my flame hawk when we went on vacation a few months ago, so I bought a replacement. Two days later, I found my original flame hawk hanging out in my overflow!! - he'd been...

I've got a new, beautiful bicolor angel. Had him for three days! He's doing well, so far. I haven't been able to get him to eat flake or frozen yet. He nips at it and then spits it out, so I'm hoping I can find the right thing. He has, however, totally eaten a few pieces of macro algae that...

I just set up a refugium and received a bag of chaeto and caulerpa. So, what do I do with it? Do I just place it in the refugium? bury it in the sand? I'm not sure what to do next?

How does one know if a tiger tail is dead? I put one in my tank on Wednesday afternoon after a 3-1/2 hour drip acclimation. He moved to the base of a mushroom rock, curled around it and hasn't moved. I just moved the rock a bit and he's still curled/attached to the rock?? I don't want to bother...

My husband just bought a retail cellular store and he's thinking that a saltwater tank would be a great addition (something to entertain customers who are waiting - kinda like a doctor's office). He'd really like an eel, but I know nothing about eels (I have a 150 reef at home with very docile...

I am so at a loss as to what to do with my phosphate problems. My tank has been up and running since October and everything was looking wonderful until about 6 weeks ago when I started getting a brownish yuch on my sand. I thought it was diatomes, but now I believe it's dinoflaggetlates, so I...

This is a fantastic pump. I used it on my tank for one month and then decided to buy a bigger pump for more flow. It's in perfect condition. It's priced new at $165 plus shipping. My price: $135 plus shipping. About the pump: Pan World Magnetic Water Pumps (PX & PS) Pan World Magnetic Water...

I wish I could post a picture of this, but I've tried and can't get one that shows what I'm seeing. I have a 5" DSB and along the front of the glass in at least three spots I have patches of mint green "something" growing. It's really a very pretty green, but what is it? It's below the sand and...

I purchased a rock with 13 beautiful blue mushrooms on it the other day. In my tank they look a little reddish/purple instead of the blue they were. I was looking at the tank with the lights off the other night using a flashlight and they showed up a beautiful blue. So, (on to the question) --...

I came home tonight to find what looks like a huge (silver dollar size) piece of the outer layer of my colt ripped off and he seems to be coming off of the rock that he's on! I've never seen anyone in my tank bother him and he seemed fine last night. I've been testing my water daily to monitor...

I've been consistently testing pH at 8.0, alk at 2.5 and Ca at 490. So I've decided to try buffering with washing soda to bring the pH and alk up. Yesterday morning I added 1.5 tsp of washing soda to my 150. I tested the water around 6 pm (which is when I normally test) and the pH was 78.2, alk...

Pan World Magnet Pump NH-100PX-X Only used it for two months and now it can be yours! - I upgraded to a larger pump for more flow. It's still bright and shiny new. $160 shipped (firm)

Do watchman eat snails? I don't see it in their 'bio' but, I noticed over the past few days that there are lot of snail shells piling up near my watchman's home and just now I saw him carrying a snail in it's mouth from one end of the tank back to his home. I can't tell if it's an empty shell...

My flame hawk went missing yesterday - without a trace. Not even a fish bone. What's in my tank that made it disappear so completely? He seemed very healthy and active when I went to bed on Sunday night, but have not seen him since!!! two ocellaris 5 small blue/green chromis banggai cardinal...

I purchased this goby as a yellow-banded watchman, but now that I've seen pictures on other sides of a yellow-banded watchman, I'm not so sure..... He's a really cool fish with tons of personality- I love him! (and so does my dog, -check out the second picture below.
