I know this isn't the right forum for this but at least everyone will see it here. First off I must vent for a moment. What is going on with the attitudes from some of the people on these boards lately. Is there something in the water? Is there to much testosterone or estrogen going around...

Those of you that have a pistol shrimp is it very active? I mean do you ever see it? I bought one today because he was pretty cool looking and hell I haven't seen it since I put it in the tank. I have a yellow watchman goby that I am hoping it will pair with.

hey guys, this might be a dumb question but I am really blonde when it comes to electricity and plumbing. Instead of plugging my grounding probe in the wall can I just attach it to the screw in the plate? I really need the extra plug in this jack. If so what do I do with the 3 prong plug...

My BTA attached its foot in the middle of my sun polyps....any ideas on how to get it to move? During the day it seems to be as happy as can be the minute the lights go out it is on the prowl. Can anyone help??? :mad:

hey guys I need some help here. I bought 3 R. mushrooms and each of them were attached to a piece of small rock. However one of them was huge and I layed it across a piece of LR in my tank. Well after a week or so its color started to fade, almost as it was bleaching. Is this possible with...

Okay guys I am ready to pull my hair out with this particular coral..... :mad: ... This makes the second brain for me in as many months...the first one came to me injured, no doubt it happened in shipping. So I ordered a red brain from this site and it was doing very well..colors were great...

My tomato clown is hosting my red brain. How can I keep her out of it as I am affraid she will damage it. It is so strange because I have had the clown for 3 yrs and just started adding corals. For some reason she choose this instead of the long tenticle plate or the frogspawn or the...

I posted this in the disease forum as well but here goes. I have noticed that a couple of my fish now have ich. Not sure what is going on because there is nothing in the tank that is new that could have caused the outbreak. Anyway I have a few new corals in my tank so therefore I can not do...

Ok Beth I am new to corals. In my display I have a yellow tang, 3 perculas, a tomato, bicolor blennie and a yellow watchman. All of the fish have been in there for awhile but I now have noticed I have an ICH outbreak. I lost my hospital tank to a leak...another problem. I do have a 30 gallon...

Okay guys this is a post in response to my other one titled " A Frog and a Toad". My toadstool has been in my tank now for 5 days. It has never fully opened up. Occasionally It will peck its stickers out....I know they are feeder! But that is it. Should I be concerned? The last post they...

Could it be that my Frogspawn or Hammer is irritating my Toadstool and that is why is feeders won't come out? Any suggestions would help!!! Water quality is fine as I just had everything tested today. :notsure:

I have had this frogspawn for a week now and it looked pretty good until today. There appears to be one of the five branches in trouble. If indeed it does die can I save the rest by fragging the half dead section off....I am going to wait until tomorrow and see if it is actually dying. All...

I am new at keeping corals so my question is should all corals be dipped before entering them into main tank? If yes, then what do you recommend? :thinking:

Hey guys...I need some help.. First of all my husband and I are helping to close a rest. that has a salt water tank. The tank and everything except for the fish and coral will be sold with the rest.

Hey guys i need some help here. I have been looking for articles on Hypo at treatment for ICH. I have a LFS owner who is interrested in this theory. I have explained to him why I use it per my information on this board from the two of you. This gentlemen happens to be a very reliable dealer...

Okay guys I need some info.........I set up a new tank over a week ago for some new seahorses..now the problem is the damn thing has not began to cycle. The ammonia has never spiked or anything. Now I did use LR and LS from the other cycled tank and took some filter floss to help establish the...
