hi, i just recently brought home a sebae anenome and i am already having a problem. it is rather large, maybe a 5 inch diameter, and very clumsy... i originally put it on the sandbed, but it just drifted and crashed (slowly) into the rock and some of my polyp rocks. then it just hung out for a...

hi, I am just starting a new refugium and I want to have a superior macroalgae collection! the only problem is, I dont really know which kinds are the best... I did a search and so far found that "Chaetomorpha" is a rather decent kind, but I need some more input on this... do any of you...

hi, i just got a feather duster today and one of my emerald crabs was trying to eat the end of its tube (opposite end of feathers). i managed to scare the crab away, but i was wondering if i should worry about the duster and the crab getting into further confrontations... has anyone else had a...

what kind of corals would you recommend for a 20g (standard, not long) with a coralife 130w pc flor? I just bought the light on ---- and set it up yesterday. my lr isnt that high, only about half the back of the tank, so there isnt much by the surface where I could put anything on. Also, do you...

Yesterday when I was browsing the ***** in our mall I saw a horrible sight. I wandered into the sw fish section to see their fish and my jaw dropped. In about a 30gal long tank they had about 100+ clownfish. They could barely swim around without bumping into each other. There were probably 50+...

Where do you think the best placement for a small powerhead in a 20g nano? One of the sides? The back? High, in the middle? Also, how strong should the water flow be? I want to make sure I dont annoy any corals or anenomes when I get them. Thanks! :)
