    Is this enough lighting?

    I've been using the SmartPaq 40w PC for about four years in which time I've kept a healthy bubble tip anemone for three of those years. Just recently gave it away. I keep the lights on 8.25 hours per day. I want to add some zoos and shrooms and I'm wondering if my existing bulbs are sufficient...

    Porcupine Puffer Question

    Everything I've read says that cleanup crews don't last long with a porcupine puffer. So do you just add a new cleanup crew every once in a while or is there some other kind of tankmate that can keep the aquarium clean and not get eaten? Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance!

    3-year-old BTA question

    I've kept a healthy BTA in my 25g vertically-oriented tank for 3+ years now. Everything has remained the same -- two gsm clowns to host, an abundance of live rock, & water changes as necessary to maintain water params. Lighting is a 40 watt 50/50 10,000k/460nm Actinic & that has been...

    pistol shrimp cavitation wave?

    someone was talking about a pistol shrimp being able to break glass in another thread so it piqued my curiosity. i found this article on wiki but the part under "Snapping Effect" seems so strange and implausible that i am suspicious that it's a prank wiki article. if it's true, it would mean...

    new lighting system made of led?

    this might be a dumb question but has anyone heard of a new lighting system that consists mostly of lots and lots of leds? i was talking to my lfs owner and he was all excited about going to a show this weekend because they were going to have this new type of lighting. i could be way off but...

    what's a good price for this setup?

    adventurous hermit crab

    this hermit crab of mine likes to climb straight up the corner of my tank. i haven't seen this on the boards yet so i'm posting a picture. maybe it's a common thing? when it gets about halfway up, it starts slowing down and eventually just falls off. it's so funny to watch.

    transporting anemone down the road

    i know it's best to ship an anemone dry but is this true if i am just taking it down the road (fifteen minutes)? would it be best to bag it under water in this case?

    why not mix wild false perc?

    is there some specific reason other than temperament that the wild false perc info emphasizes not mixing them with other clowns? if it's just the general "not smart to mix clown species", i understand. just want to know why it's on this one and not on the wild gold stripe maroon too, for...

    spider-like creature in live rock

    i just noticed a small creature that has been hiding in a crevice of my live rock. i haven't added any live rock in months so it's obviously been in there a while. i'm 98% sure it's a spider of some sort. it's fuzzy and beige to light yellow in color. it either rarely comes out or only comes...
