to those of you that have given me tons of advice in the past .. it's really helped I had to move my tank home from the office on Saturday. The fish handled the trip relatively well and I only lost 9 gallons in transport... totally amazing. However, the tank was filthy upon refilling & stirred...

My Koran angel is rather funny... When I put my algae sheet up in the clip, I cut the bottom into strips (since the fish usually end up tearing the whole sheet out of the clip at once). The Koran tears off the strip and eats it like a spaghetti noodle. This takes awhile though.. she swims...

This morning I noticed that my clown, tangs, and angel are covered in ich. They eat like pigs and are swimming normally. Thinking back to the weekend, they were breathing a little harder than normal on Sunday, but no signs of anything. I do not have a QT big enough for all 4 fish. Should I...

I got a good deal from someone parting out a 220gal on C List. I was 3rd in line so I missed out on a couple items I wanted, but was able to convince the guy ahead of me to split the candy cane coral colony and the frogspawn For $90 (good deal right?) I got 12 heads candy cane coral; 3 heads...

Anyone have any good suggestions for backup power sources? I'm looking into getting a Duracell Powerpack 600 or similar (preferably one that is solar rechargeable). I have found a few different models for anywhere from $140-$300. Just wanted to see what anyone else does. Generator is out of...

I received some star polyps on Thursday from a seller on a certain bidding site. How long should they take to open?

I got a very inexpensive chiller made by aquanetics. It has the controller with it. The coils get cold, but the controller apparently shorts out? I took it anyway, assuming I could find someone that would know how to fix it. I am not good with electrical/mechanical stuff, so any input on who...

My saddleback clown has been a little too aggressive with my sebae anemone - picking incesantly at it's mouth. Now after 2 weeks of this, the anemone looks like it is about to just die. This morning I came in to see the anemone's mouth open - about 3in diameter - with brown stuff and then the...

my featherduster dropped it's feather It then would come out of it's tube for a couple days and now it's not coming out. Not sure if it has died ?

Does anyone have one? The swf.com description says only 1 per tank, but the Sailfin tangs descriptions says you can keep more than one. I already have a Sailfin (very small) and wanted to get the Dresjardini for the color difference. Feedback would be appreciated Thanks!

for those of you who may be looking... for sale on craigslist (south florida) 6" Australian Harlequin Tusk The guy is asking $140 ..posted it on 7/20; located in Sunrise, FL

I got a new clown through an even trade with the LFS. My sebae was too large and too aggressive toward the other fish in the tank. I now have this guy. Does anyone know what he is? He looks like a black and white false percula. He was mislabeled as a saddleback. The photos are not great -...

I noticed I now have a "colony" of these short brown stems with feathery ends all over a piece of my live rock. They keep multiplying. They retract when the fish swim over them. What do I need to do about this?

Does anyone have a Koran Angel in their reef? I only have a few soft corals and ordered a juvi Koran from swf.com.. Just realized it is not coral safe - please let me know if I should change to another angel or tang.

ok - tang police .. please be kind I just got a Naso (only 3-4"). I'd really like to add a Purple (ones I saw are only 3-5"). Suggestions on how long to wait to add a Purple? Also I know aggression will be an issue and want to do my best to keep it to a minimum while they establish an "order."

I happened to venture into a LFS that I have heard about here in So FL. The place is much larger than what I'm used to .. but thought I'd share this "Bumblebee" grouper that I saw for sale. Found him pretty interesting

having a little bit of an issue with Calcium and kh. My calcium is now testing well over 500 and before it was a steady 400. The dkh on the kh test is coming out at 15. The pH was also holding steady at 8.2 before and now is at 7.7 and 8.0. I had a huge phosphate problem and fixed that...

Need to rehome my Orbi. If there are any takers in the S. FL area, please pm me. Started about the size of a quarter and is now in Juvenile state at approx 7" from top to bottom. Needs plenty of swimming room and sometimes will float on side like a leaf on top of water (juvenile behavior)...

I am probably going to pick up a Purple tang in the next couple of weeks. The person is breaking down their tank (a 125). The person also has a Blonde Naso Tang, Powder Blue tang, and Yellow tang in the same tank (with other fish). It's a very cool setup. I have always wanted a purple tang...

have tried to get photos, but am unsuccessful hitchhiker that seems to be living "inside" a rock that I got with mushrooms.. White tentacles/legs come from crevices in the rock in about 3-5 different areas. Some areas have 3 or more of these "tentacles." They are all white with small black...
