My new Singapore true perc has just recently showed interest in becomming a guest of my large frogspawn coral. However, He will not actually swim in the polps. Instead he skims the suface of the polyps. I can tell he really wants to swim in them because he will swim under the bottom heads and...

I purchased a Lobo Brain about two weeks ago and have yet to see it open up. The skeleton still has color to it and has shown no signs of bleaching. What could I be doing wrong? I have it placed at the bottom with direct light and strong moderate flow.

My false perc clown has been acting very strangely lately. I just got him almost two weeks ago. Recently he has dug out a trench in the sand at the bottom left side of the tank. Now he has been acting has if he is hosting in it, rubbing his side on it and nudging passing hermit crabs out of his...

I got this little guy a week ago. the LFS said that it was a true perc, but for some reason the more I look at him I start to doubt if he really is... So you guys tell me TRUE or FALSE...

i just recently purchased a tank raised true perc. I have a couple of clowns before this one, but have never seen one so picky with food. I have thrown everything I have got in my food arsenal and he still wont eat. I usually feed everything in my tank "Formula One" and "Prime Reef" frozen food...

I just got through plumbing. Can't wait to put some sea grasses and macro algae.

Well my 12g nano has now been running for nearly 1 year. I'm very proud of it. I must say after having different size aqauriums from a large (110g) to a small (10g), I really enjoy the smaller sizes and watching them fill up with coral. I my wallet does. Here are some pics of the progress from...

After battling a moderate nitrate problem for sometime now, I went out and picked up a 10g glass aquarium. I currently have a 12g nano cube Aquarium. The aquarium is completely enclosed.

Everytime im on here im awstruck at how clean everyones tank appears. Mine is...well...of little admiration. For some reason i can ever keep the sand white enough, and the bottom next to the sand seems to be an algae factory. I have plenty of snails and crabs, but i seem to be missing out on...

I noticed today that I have what appears to be small bug like crustaceans. I know they are not copepods. They are very small and seem to be all over the bottom of the glass.

Im wanting to know if it's normal for coral to go, not dormant, but closed up for a day. Im not even sure if it has been closed for the entire day. however, toward the end of the light cycle my polyps have not been fully opened. This could be due to my crazy crabs stampeding across the great...

Just out of curiosity, how much ammonia if any does snail/hermit crab fecal material have. Would they be more like a cow and actually cause more benifits then harm? Or am i just a overreactive nut talking about snail poop?

I just did a Ph and salinity test today and to my surprise found that my PH had dropped to 7.8; after checking this i immediatly tested the water with my hydrometer and found the salinity to be around 1.030. I just started cycling and have no idea if this is normal behavior on a 12g nano.

Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the three stage filtration in the nano cube deluxe. Im trying to decide if i even want to keep the foam/skimmer and the bioballs. please let me know.
