    Help Lr Arrived Early -urgent!!!

    That's sad about your rock. I would add some powerheads to the tubs to keep the water circulating and check for die off for at least three days before putting into your main tank. Good Luck

    Talk about being scared of a power outage, check these pics out!

    Try home depot or harbor freight for a 5000-6500 watt generator. They usually run around $500.00 and are great for short time usuage.

    Covered with algae

    I will cut the lighting in half. I probably need to add the snails as I do not have near as many as recommended. Don't know if a lawnmower blenie would fight with my diamond goby? Thanks for the advice. I rechecked phospate and it is around 1.5 so I will add the phosban. Have a good...

    why? blue mushrooom turned purple?

    Hey, I too have blue mushrooms that are about 2/3 up in my tank using power compacts. Befor the lights come on in the afternoon the shrooms are very blue, but the longer the light is on they turn more purple. Guess this is a reaction to the light. You may expose them to less light. I also...

    Red Ball Sponges

    I have fed this sponge phytoplankton once a week by directing it from a squeeze bottle. Also there is twice weekly feedings for the other corals in the tank. I don't believe it was exposed to air as the color was good at first. Thanks for the reply Wayne :thinking:

    Red Ball Sponges

    I need a little advice. I purchased a red ball sponge two weeks ago and when I got it the color was a nice red. Since putting into my tank the color has changed to a tan. The pores have opened up and you can see red down in the pores, about 1/4" into them. The coral is on the bottom of a 125...

    what are these? gnats???

    If you have houseplants in the same room or close to your tank these could be gnats from the soil in the plants. They come in store bought soil and seem to hatch whenever you tend to overwater the plants. They are harmless but do make kind of a mess. Try cutting back on watering of plants or...

    reef tank white threads in sand and rocks

    Originally posted by Bang Guy If there are a pair of threads then it's a type of sessile Snail. If there's a whole bunch of threads sprouting from the same hole then it's either a Terebellid or Cirratulid Worm. Typically, white threads would be from a Terebellid Worm. I looked at these...
