What's the secret to keeping them in the clip in one piece? Mine keeps tearing off and floating around the tank.

I've been running a quarantine tank for a few months now. The last 6 weeks it's been empty. I mix new water it goes into my display and old water from display goes into QT and the old QT water gets pitched. I've noticed that I have alot of sediment building on the PVC pipe in the QT. It's not a...

Let's say a similar coral sells for $50 should what percentage should I expect to get back on the item? 50%? 75%? Thanks for...

Kenny Rogers really tore up the yanks tonight!

I've had it with my Red Sea Prism Deluxe skimmer (what a waste of money). I could adjust the thing 10 times a day and it would still either run dry, overflow, and spit a gazillion microbubbles into the tank. :mad: So I'm going to replace it. I could use a recommendation for something good...

Is it best to keep mushrooms in shady areas? Everytime I move a rock into an area with more light they shrivel up. I don't have alot of lighting. 440 watt VHO on an 85 gallon. 2 10K to super actnic. If you have great shrooms what's the secret. My water quality has been consistently good...

I've been purchasing RO water from my LFS but recently have been seeing alot of diatoms. They show up about 1 week after water changes. I use RO water from my home RO system for top offs. I decided to take a sample of my home RO water to the company I purchased my RO system from thinking that...

I have a new foxface rabbitfish that has been in quarantine for the past 3 weeks. It seems that he is always hiding. Is this common behavior for this fish. Nothing else seems odd. He eats fine. When out to eat he seems to behave normally. Breathing is fine. Just runs and hides whenever...

I've read through about every post I can fine on Quarantine tanks and would like to know if I'm understanding this correctly. I am currently cycling a 30 gallon tank for a QT. I have an Aquaclear 50 filter on it, a heater, an aquaclear 30 power head and a basic flourescent light. I'm going to...

I've had a finger leather for a couple weeks now and it looked great for the first week. It then went into a molt cycle? All the polyps retracted it "shrunk" and turned a purpleish white waxy color. This lasted for about four days then it extended again and looked great. For all of two days...

This is my first attempt at keeping a Saltwater Tank. I've been thinking about it for years but my daughters facination was the final inspiration to make this real. She was really excited by the rocks in cloudy water.

I'm probably making this process more difficult than needed and I'd appreciate any idea's to make this process easier. My tank doesn't have a sump yet so I'm starting off with a harder process to begin with but here goes. 1. The day before a water change I mix up my saltwater in an old 30 tall...
