    Starry Eyed Hermit Crab?

    Hi, I just bought 2 starry eyed hermit crabs and noticed that they weren't listed in the inverts section on this website. I was just wondering if I should be feeding them shrimp or just let them scavenge through the sand? Their shells are about 2 inches in length.

    Yellow Tang Ick

    I have 2 percula clownfish in with the tang. I think I'm going to try my luck with one of the medications. I can't afford another tank, and I don't really have any inverts so if there was a casualty I wouldn't care. I'd rather lose 2 brittle stars and 2 turbo snails than my fish.

    Yellow Tang Ick

    yes as I said I have about 50 lbs of LR. I also have 2 brittle stars and some turbo snails, as well as some zooanthids that hitchiked on the LR. I heard that feeding the fish garlic can sometimes make the ick go away, is this true? Other than that I think the only choice I have is to use a...

    Yellow Tang Ick

    it appears that my yellow tang has some ick on his fins. This morning he didn;t have any but after I cleaned my tank glass it was there. I think he might have been stressed while I cleaned the glass and that's why he has ick. I just recently added him to my tank. Do you think it will go away if...

    55 gal fish list

    I already have the blue damsel and the domino damsel. I find that the blue damsel is not aggressive at all and keeps to himself while the domino is the meaner one. Do you suggest I return the domino?

    One leak is right at the bottom of the collection cup, and one is on the tube connecting to the output. I think I may just need to seal it with silicon or something. but my real problem is the bubble. soo soo soo many bubbles. I'm going to try putting my powerhead on the other side of where the...

    Stupid Protein Skimmer

    I have a Coralife Super Skimmer that I bought off the internet a while back. I recently plugged it in and have discovered 2 leaks and it's filling my tank with millions of bubbles. I'm starting to regret buying this thing. The worst part is that I can't even return it because it was on the...

    New Tank and Protein Skimmer

    ok, I set up the protein skimmer and it's running now, but for some reason my tank is filled with tinny bubbles. Is it supposed to do this or do I have to do something to stop the bubbles? It's a Coralife Super Skimmer rated for 125 gal.

    New Tank and Protein Skimmer

    When is the right time to hook up my protein skimmer? I have had my tank running for 3 weeks, it has 35lbs of live rock and about a 1" sandbed. Do I have to wait till the cycle is over or can I hook it up now? Also I want to add that I lucked out big time when buying live rock, there was about...

    a walk on the beach

    When I was down in Florida I found 4 separate puffers alive and well washed up on shore. I also found an eel of some sort. Can't remember what kind but it was pretty interesting.

    Skimmer and Fluval 304?

    But do I absolutely have to run it with my skimmer, or will it just end upo being more work for me? Also if I do run won't I have to change the filter media in it quite frequently?

    Skimmer and Fluval 304?

    I had a Fluval 304 filter for my freshwater tank and now I'm getting into saltwater. I recently just purchases the coralife supper skimmer 125 for my 55 gal tank. Should I be running the skimmer and the fluval 304 for filtration? I've heard before that running my old filter may cause problems.

    I am currently in the process of setting up a FOWLR saltwater tank. I have a 55 gal tank with a Fluval 304, heater, powerhead, and a protein skimmer.
