My bubble tip anenome was bouncing around the tank as usual and apparently was caught in the intake for one of my jets. I have unplugged the pump is there any more I can do to help it free itself?

Well my trip to the beach had its high points and its low points. on the high side I brought back some new hermits (fairly large and I have yet to id them) which after a time in the hospital tank seem to enjoy their new surroundings. As a matter of fact the largest moved into a new shell...

The other day I added some cured Live Rock to my tank. It is doing well and all my tank readings are normal. amonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrates 0 ph/alk 8.2-8.4 / low/normal salinity 1.025 The other day my outwardly healthy arrow crab died...

My post about Live Rock apparently has been removed. I would like to know why. I kept any mention of the name of the company out of the post as other posts have done. I think if you decide that a topic warrants removal then you owe it to the person posting to know why so they can ask the...

Has anyone ever made thier own tank. Way back in the '70's plexiglass was very popular and I remember helping my dad create tables and such. Is it cost effective to try and make your own tank out of glass or acrylic? :rolleyes:

I have seen the term DSB used a great deal in reference to the bed of a tank but I have been unable to find out exactly what it is. I have argonite as my base, approximately 2-3 inches, the critters keep sculpting it. Should I look to make a change? I have a Semireef tank at the moment but...

My new arrow crab molted and I found his old shell in a corner. My question is should I fish it out of the tank or leave it in?

a few of my snails have green bubbles on thier shells. I have read that blue leg hermits eat green bubble algea but if the snails stay on the glass how would the hermits get to eat the algea? Any other ideas?

I was told that I should get an arrow crab, that they help control the bristle worm population by hunting and eating them. Yesterday evening I witnessed the Arrow crab in the area that the bristle worm comes out to feed in.....(they usually only come out at night). All of a sudden out comes...

I am fairly new to aquariums but have taken the plunge anyway. My tanks seems to be progressing very nicely. I discovered about a month into it that I had something living and boring through the live rock. I have seen it now and it is about 6" long fully stretched out. Flesh colored with...
