    my poor starts and stripes!

    okay, unfortunately I can't post a pic. I'm not on my computer, mine is currently down, and I don't know how to upload on this one. But, I really need some advice. My tank has been perfect for a few years now, until I bought a porcupine. The poor fish got really sick and died. Now, my stars...

    Bad luck with clowns?

    My new 180 gallon!

    I sold my 4 foot tesselatta eel over the weekend, and so was able to move the SFE that was his buddy and the 180 into my livingroom. I had a 55 gallon in there already, and tore it down to put everything into the 180....what a job that was! ANyway, now it's up and running and thought I'd show...

    Hard water stains?

    Anyone ever had any luck with removing hard water stains? I have a 180 I bought from a guy and come to find out, he let the water level in the tank get low and therefore hard water stains appear so far to be permanent around the tank. It's very annoying. I called my LFS and he said that...

    Those darned leeches are back on my SNE!

    Okay, so maybe I am going to have to treat the tank a few times before they're ALL the way gone, but I figured it's worth a shot to post a pic of one of these nasty things to see if anyone has any better ideas as to what it is just in case I am wrong...

    I finally figured out I can take better pictures with my phone than with my camera cuz I am having some serious buildup issues on my glass from the previous owner. Anyway, look at my two love birds, newly cured from leeches in my tank....Aren't they cute? It's Max and Anastasia....and they're...

    stinkin' cloudy glass!

    Is there a way to clean off buildup from a setup aquarium? I have tried razors, scrubbing, scratching, and nothing is getting off these cloudy marks. It makes the tank look dirty compared to my other tank that's spotless! Is there a way I can use that tank cleaner without hurting my two eels?

    cloudy glass

    Anyone ever had issues with their tank looking dirty, but doesn't wipe off? I got a tank a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed it looked on the inside like there were salt marks, like when you drip saltwater down the front of your tank and it leaves a white cloudy line on it. I figured, no big...

    Brown stringy things are growing on my snowflake! Getting worse!!

    Hi! I'm hoping someone can give me some idea of what's going on with my eel. I got a 175 that had a tessellata eel about 3 1/2 feet long in it. I added a snowflake eel to it and slowly the eel has been covered with brown strings hanging from all over him. His entire mouth is almost completely...

    getting marks off my glass

    Hi! I got a 180 over the weekend, and noticed the glass was cloudy looking, kinda like when you drip saltwater on the outside of your tank and it leaves that whitish, cloudy mark. Didn't think anything of it, just figured I would scrape it off with my mag. Well, I'm so used to my glass being...

    What's wrong with my snowflake?

    I bought a new snowflake for my 175 on Sunday. I currently have a 3 foot tessellata in there, don't worry, they're friends now! My snowflake eel has started twitching her head from side to side every few seconds or so. Also, I've noticed some brown colored stringy looking things hanging from...

    A new eel with the shakes!

    I have a new 175 gallon with a tessalata eel in it about 3 1/2 feet long. Yesterday I decided to take the chance and bought a snowflake eel about 14 inches long to see if Ol Max, my tessa, would let it live. So, after a few skipped heartbeats, I realized that they like each other! They lay...

    compatibility with my tessalata?

    My tessalata is almost 3 feet long. What do you guys think of putting a 12" snowflake in there with him? Or should I put him in my 55 fowlr? If you say 55, will eat my fish? I have any size from chromis to yellow tang

    A baby starfish!

    My sister was here a few days ago and found a little baby starfish in my tank! I had never seen it before. I just wondered if someone could enlighten me a little bit about it because I don't know much about the reproduction of starfish. I have a sand sifting starfish, and the baby is...

    Blue Torch Coral

    Hi! So, I have a blue torch, and it was thriving for the first few weeks or so. There were three different heads on it. About a week ago or so, one of the heads' tentacles went completely back inside of it, and at the same time, the second one's tentacles were just barely out still. About a...
