The only thing I would suggest would be to contact FWC or a local university extension to see if they have conducted any water tests lately. I would hate to see what would happen if you introduced red tide into your tank. I would say that if you can find recent water test results to show...

Mine still does it all the time. I just completed a water change on Saturday and smoothed everything out (again!!!) No sooner did I get done cleaning the tank and there were already holes started. My flow rate is not high enough to cause as big a problems as some others. Just a pain in the *#$.

If you really want to keep your sandbed messed up, get a maroon clown. I have one that continuously stirs my sandbed.

I feel your pain...I have one that does the same thing, although not as bad as yours. The bottom of my tank always looks like it has recently suffered a mortar attack. I too well recognize the pile of sand up next to the glass. You want to make them really mad???? Flatten the sand back...

I suffered with an outbreak of Aptasia and purchased some Peppermint shrimp for the same reason, I was worried about other things in the tank having an adverse reaction to the chemical method. It has taken the shimp a little while to realize what they were missing, but now I only have 2 Aptasia...

I've gone diving in Hood Canal several times. Octopus like that are very common there and supposedly they grow larger there than anywhere else. I have seen a couple that could grab a person if they wanted to. They are very curious animals and will come right up and feel you with their legs if...

If it's Ich, I must have a miracle worker for a cleaner shrimp as it was all gone within 5 minutes.

I have attached another picture that I took today, it's a lot clearer, hope it helps. I currently have a Maroon Clown, and a Coral Beauty Angel, along with the normal cleaner crew. I have a 70g tank, wet/dry sump and protein skimmer. Approx. 20 lbs of l/r. I am trying to accumulate l/r a...

Yes, my wife and daughter picked it out. Apparently the guy at the LFS, who hasn't steered us much wrong in the past, advised that he would do alright in our tank and wouldn't be all that difficult to care for. I see by some research that I have done that this doesn't appear to be true. I am...

Please help my identify this fish. My LFS said it was a Clown Tang. But I don't think they know what they are talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I was at a lfs today and they just received a bunch of these on their shipment. What are they? and what are they good for? They look cool. Are they reef safe? How difficult are they to care for? Thanks in advance...

I have a 72g tank FOWLR. It has been running for almost 1 year. I currently have a Maroon Clown and a Coral Beauty Angel, along w/ the normal cleaning crew items. Any suggestions on what a NewB could put in with these fish and not kill in the next week?

Thanks, I think I am going to try to find the Salifert test today. I just can't figure out the difference between the two results. We are talking a difference of almost 200 ppm

I just bought some more lr and have noticed an outbreak of Aptasia. I have a few Peppermint Shrimp, but all they ever do is hide on the bottom of the LR. I haven't noticed them eating at the Ap. at all. I have a reputable LFS that advised I could get a Copper Banded Bfly. My question is how...

I tested my params the other day, all were good except Nitrate. It was off the chart. I was using the Saltwater Master Test Kit. I went to a reputable LFS and purchased a new Nitrate test kit from Red Sea. When I test with this kit, I receive results of approx. 5ppm. The advised I purchase...
