I have discovered a baby white starfish in my tank - may be a dumb question but how did it get there and anyone else ever have one?

Thanks.

Isn't the goal to have enough balance that your nitrates never get too high so that you only have to do water changes in theory so that the fish are not swimming around in the same old water? I do have a protein skimmer and I am not sure what you are getting at when you are saying a good...

So how do I get rid of nitrates that high? Doesn't adding live rock help with that? In your opinion, how many fish and what fish should I have?

Ok, excess nutrient. what does that mean? Why will I probably get algae bloom? My water tests at 8.0 ph, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate. I test my water everyday because I HAVE heard that things can go badly rather quickly, so I try to stay on top of things. I also understand that a bat...

I would like to know what qualifies my tank as unhealthy? I could see if I my fish were dying from disease and illness and I just couldn't figure out why. But that is just not the case. Jawfish are jumpers and I obviously underestimated the ability of my jawfish to jump through very small...

I would have to say that I am a bit offended that you keep saying my tank is stressful and overcrowded. I have about 4 inches of live sand substrate. I had 2 jump and just replaced them with 1. He immediately burrowed under my live rock just like my other ones did.

I HAVE done my research and I have yet to see anywhere that a jawfish is only recommended for a species only tank. Jawfish don't only jump when stressed, they are KNOWN for JUMPING. When my jawfish jumped, there was, IMO, no room for them to jump out. I was obviously wrong. My QUESTION is -...

I have a 55 gal tank. I have numerous questions. I am having trouble keeping my jawfish in the tank. I have lost 2. I have a top and when I first started, there was very little room for a jawfish to jump ship. Since then I have just added my protein skimmer, went a little crazy and have a...

Thanks much. I have got my skimmer working now. My jawfish were in my tank for like a month with no lid, then my big one went missing. Couldn't find it, figured the cats may have gotten it if it jumped out. Then, my little jawfish jumped out a week ago. I have a large orbic bat, he ate all...

I have it in my saltwater tank that I have had for about a 2 months. The air inlet silencer tubing it somewhat filled with water, is that normal? And shouldn't I see something happening in the large cannister?

I just purchased this skimmer today. I have set it up and I do believe that it is not working properly. Shouldn't I be seeing some sort of bubbles? :help:

:help: I was reading this message and I am actually in dire need of answers on my coralife super skimmer 65. I just bought one today and set it up. I do not see ANY bubbles! Shouldn't I be seeing some sort of swirling vortex in the actual cannister? Can anyone here help me. Sorry to bust in...

I have a top!!!!!!!!!! I'm not that clueless. I have had two jawfish disappear through the tiniest of cracks where my heater is and my filter. Now I have a huge jawfish, and I don't want to lose him. I don't know how to crack-proof it I guess. Oh, and I think that the valve is correct...

yeah, but I just bought it today. I'm not even sure what exactly it is supposed to do. I mean, I know the concept, but am I to see the bubbles right away, is it possible that it is just going to take a day or two, I don't know why it would, but I am clueless. Also, do you have any advice on...

I just bought my first skimmer, it is a coralife super skimmer 65 for a 55 gallon tank. It does not appear to be working correctly. Shouldn't it be making a whirling vortex of bubbles? Can someone help me out please? Also, I seem to have some sort of fuzzy moldy looking like stuff growing on...

So, you are definately saying that I can't have both? He will eat every anenome or is it possible that there are some particular ones that he won't? My goal is to have invertebrates and coral, I thought that orbic bats were reef safe?!

Hi, I don't know if I am doing this correctly, but I am having problems with my new tank and its inhabitants. I have a very large Orbic Bat that won't leave my anenomes alone. I have a tube anenome that it seems to not bother too much, but I just bought a purple tip anenome on Sunday and my...
