    Found a hitchhiker brittle star

    I'm a noob so boy did this sucker freak me out until I found out what he was. I almost squished him because I couldn't catch him and didn't want him to be predatory. He was grey and a half an inch in length. Whew I am relieved now that I know what it is. Tonight I am moving a bunch of corals and...

    Can anyone ID this hitchiker snail?

    He seems to be eating algae of the rock, he is very fast. I just don't want this sucker to eat my corals at all.

    Tang Police!!!!

    "did you guys see the tank that was over populated" Yes, I did, those poor guys were just staring at each other with no place to go. The tank was clean but extremely crowded.

    I don't like it either, but I thought I'd mention that we have been docking tails off of dogs for hundreds of years. But for the record, my Min Pin still has his big, huge ears that he was born with. Alot of vets won't clip them anymore. In fact just this morining I noticed that one of them was...

    Making your own LR ?!?

    If you are using rock that you have used peviously in a freshwater system, make sure that you have not treated with a copper based med at any time with it. Lace rock can be found at almost all LFS or even at the landscape supply. You just will have to sift through it for a while. Your LFS will...

    Difficult fish that you've had luck keeping?

    In my hayday of freshwater I had two 22 inch silver arawanas and a 14 inch australian arawana coexisting in the same tank. I also had a blue arawana in a different tank. For some people they can be sensitive, but the trick was the fact that they didn't kill each other. Eventually I did have to...

    Hippo with Ick, Q on a QT tank

    Update... there was maybe one spot left the following day, and there are currently no spots of ick on her. My cleaner shrimp is awesome, and it's cool to see her go in the cleaning station and get*R*done. Now I am dealing with an algae problem. I got some timers for my light so that I cane lower...

    Well, this is my first post... I have already read up on some of this, but I wanted to chime in a bit. I have a 150 gallon that I have recently converted from fresh to a reef. I have a few fish and a few LPS. I have the 4x 96 watt 6 foot light with moonlights, 90 pounds of live rock, 80 pounds...
