I have a 44 gallon tank in my living room. It has been doing fine up until I brought in our Christmas tree, now the tank has a rapidly growing bright green algae growing on the glass and my substrate looks like a carpet of moss. Anyone ever experienced this? As soon as I clean the glass, the...

I woke up this morning to find my starfish on top of my green ricordia mushroom polyp. He only attempted to eat half of it, but the half that he did kill has turned to brown slime and its stringing out into the water. Is this toxic? Should I get it out? The other half of the polyp looks fine...

I have NEVER had any luck with clowns. Every percula/ocellaris I get dies. EVERY ONE!!! I don't understand it. About two weeks ago I bought two (wild) percula clowns, they were very active even when I brought them home and put them in my tank. Last week, I found one laying on the bottom of...

I just read that I should be wearing gloves when I am in my tank. Is this true? I am just beginning with corals and I have ordered a zoo polyp and I read they sting. I have a few mushrooms too. Is this good advice? I really don't want to get stung, OUCH! Thanks in advance for any advice...

I purchased some stuff from saltwaterfish.com in April. My cleaner shrimp was DOA and my yellow angel died in less than 24 hours. I returned the items exactly as explained but have yet to hear from anyone. Has anyone else had this problem? I emailed them from the contact us screen but they...

Ok, I've had my yellow tang, my seabae clown and my coral banded shrimp for about a year now. I have never seen the shrimp clean anything in the tank until now. For the last 3 day's I have seen my tang and clown stopping by my shrimp's hangout to get a good cleaning. Does this mean they have...

I don't know if I am the only one experiencing this, but why is it everytime I do a search on this site, none of the pictures that people have posted show up? It's frustrating. Do I not have something enabled? Help please. Thanks!

Hello my fellow hobbyists. I sure could use some of your expert thoughts on my lighting delimma. I have a 44 gallon pentagon tank that has 40lbs live sand, approx. 30lbs live rock, hermits, astrea snails, one cardinal, one large green chromis, and one picture wrasse. I am running one light...

I have two fish with tiny white specks all over them. I think this is ick. I can set up a 10 gallon QT tank today. What's the best way to treat them? Medicine or hypo? What is the salt measurement for hypo. Could someone tell me exactly how to do the hypo method? Please. Thanks! :confused:

I have an empty 10 gallon tank and was wondering if it would be worth it to set it up as a quarantine tank. Other than treating ick, what would be a benefit of having this setup? Just asking because I hate to have the tank and not use it. I have a 75 gallon and a 44 pentagon, so it would...

I have a Marineland powerhead and the suction cups won't suction to the glass anymore. I keep coming home to a sand storm in my tank. :mad: Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried to reshape them by putting them in hot water for a few minutes, it works for about a day then it falls off...

I just bought some new live rock for my 1 month old 44 gallon pentagon. I plan to keep live rock and fish only in this tank. I have a saltwater blue 10k bulb and the flourescent light that came with the tank when shipped. I didn't buy another flourescent tube becase my lfs store said it would...

Ok, I've had a saltwater tank now for about a year and 1/2. I keep reading different strategies on performing water changes. I just add salt to a bucket of water, let the salt disolve, then pour into tank. I don't let it set for 24-48 hours with a heater or airstone. I have never had a...

Help! I was cleaning out my tank to get all of the crushed coral out and replace it with live sand. I tried to scoop my coral banded shrimp out of the tank with a net and I don't know if I pulled its claw off or if it released it somehow as a defense mechanism. He was in the net then all of a...

Has anyone ever bought live copepods to help feed their mandarin dragonet? I have one and he looks like he's wasting away. I know now that I my tank doesn't have enough to keep him alive. He's a really cool fish and I don't want him to die. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have a 75 gallon tank. I went to my lfs to buy a coralife power compact lighting system because I would love to have corals. He talks me into a metal halide system with actinics and lunar lights. I have had the lights on my tank for 2 weeks and my tank is GROSE to put it lightly. I...

Does anyone have one of these? My lfs has a baby and he is so cute. Anyone? :joy:

I have a couple pieces of fiji live rock that have been in my 75g for over a year now. It had beautiful coraline algae on it but I noticed most of the purple algae is now gone and the rock looks grey and dead. Has this happened to anyone? Is it dying? Why would the coraline come off? Help...
