So, I've had a tank set up for a while bow with LR/LS, corals and fish. It has gotten what I would call out of control. It started with a coral dying and the others got sickly looking because of it. I've been able to keep them alive and start to thrive again, but during that process, my water...

If the LFS uses copper in their fish tanks, would I still have to QT a fish for ich?

What's the difference between an R. florida and an R. yuma? How can we tell the difference when buying from the LFS?

I used to have Xenia in my old tank, I LOVED to watch them pulse! But in a very short amount of time, they were taking over my 55 gallon tank. I'd love to have a coral that is similar to xenia, but not as 'fast' growing. My tank now is only a 29 gallon, and I can only imagine how fast it could...

I finally decided that my tank looks decent enough to show some pictures. I guess it's time to start a diary of my progress, for me and for all. It's a 29 gallon biocube, stock lighting, with modified filtration including a refugium in back. This tank was started this year in May. Fish: 1 Clown...

So, my clown fish has been in QT for over a month now. (Added him to QT on the 8th of June for ich, and today was his first day in the DT after hypo treatment). I was wondering...what am I supposed to do with the QT when it's not in use? I do plan on using it for any new additions including...

Was really liking the LFS's jawfish...didn't buy though cause I was certain that they needed a DSB. But is it a MUST? Or can they do without it?

Was noticing some spots on it what look white. Then I saw a spot that is white and blackish. Then on the stock of it, there is what looks like a rip or tear...? Here are some pictures. Anyone know what's wrong with it? Why does it look like that? Is this normal for leathers? Is it dying?

I am almost ready to find another addition to my 29 biocube and I'm trying to find a list/thread of fish species that are good for nano tanks. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd like to read up on fish compatibility, requirements, etc...all for small tanks. I currently only have...

And finds a new home. So, I have wondered how those things get around. And, I was actually able to record it and share I think he got spooked when my emerald crab came poking around where he used to reside. The first video is of the current taking him along, and the second is of him crawling...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXOPVb-jikM I was feeding my clown today, just mysis. well, it looks like there was a long peice that was a good size chuck of food that didn't get 'chopped' up small. my clown went for it and had a hard time trying to swallow it. the result is that half is in his...

Pics are hard to get...but I'll try. Did some research and found this on these forums: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/vb/s...ght=Hitchhiker The thing I have in my tank is what Tizzo posted in post #70. I wasn't able to find any other information about them. Are they good/bad? Also, I have...

What are these and are they good or bad? Couldn't get a pic because they are so tiny, but I got a video. The first vid is blurry at first, about half way through (25 seconds in), it clears up and you can see how small it is. The second vid is just a bunch of them all moving around crazy like. It...

I'm having a hard time keeping the ammonia levels below 0.50 in my 10 gallon hospital tank. I feed once a day, he's eating all of it. I have changed the filter on it once already (so it's being changed once a week). How often should I be doing a water change on a 10 gallon tank? Right now I only...

Ok, do I have a bully cleaner shrimp, or is this normal? First off, he is a pig! I feed him with a turkey baster and he just sits at the tip of it and pulls out all the food. Which that's fine...but after he is fed, I will turn off my powerheads to feed the corals...and I'll blow a little food...

Ok, I saw a clear looking worm looking thing...it was pretty 'flat'...it had a roundish head, the body had something a little darker in the middle...like where the belly is...and then the end of it had two points. Is that a flatworm? I have read that flatworms are bad! What should I do???

Is my Acan Lord getting too much flow? You can kinda see it move up when it gets a blast of flow. Would this flow be considered low to medium or medium to high? I'm still a little uncertain about water flow and corals. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mft1nRYZpTE

I have three different looking things in my tank. I know one is a hair algae but I'm posting it just incase. What do I do to get rid of these? And...will a crab or something eat any of it? Thanks Brown hair? More.. Green plant looking thing.. another.. A stiff green stick looking plant...

Looked in the back of the tank today and found this guy floating on top. It has a worm like body with lots! of long 'legs' that move in and out and around. (looked like it was using them to get food...because it wasn't really moving from the spot it was in...so I don't think it was moving them...

Hello, I decided to dive into the world of corals today. Finally. I got frogspawn, which I have wanted for a while and he finally had some small enough...and not as expensive as the ones he had from Australia. I also got what he called an Acan. I'm a little confused...he had some there that he...
