My Gold Head Sleeper goby acts exactly as he always has, is constantly taking up mouthfuls of substrate searching for food, eats like a pig when I put food in the tank, but in the past few months has lost a drastic amount of weight. At first I thought I was imagining it but I just pulled up some...

My Blue Face suddenly runs for his life every time he sees me. But more troubling is, when I put food in the tank he dives into the rocks and hides. He comes out when it's just about all gone and picks at whatever he can find. He's eating, he'll eat pellets floating at the top of the tank, but...

I tried to google this but all I get is that ridiculously difficult to read wetwebmedia site. Hey, guys, it's not 1995 anymore!!! Anyway, my Queen Angel, which I've had for over 3 months now, is in perfect health, no marks or scratches and was eating up until yesterday's second feeding when it...

Here's probably my last video of the tank for a long time. It's pretty much done so unless they come up with a song and dance routine, there's no point in shooting more video.

There's a free app for Android (probably for iPhones too) that let's you shoot footage of anything (in our cases, our tanks) and turn the video into live wallpaper. It's called LWP Maker (for Live Wall Paper). Just thought some of you would like to know.

Just picked up a Hydor Smart Level Control, used, from my good ol' pals at my favorite LFS. If this thing is no good and they refuse to give me my money back it will be a dark day in the aquarium biz. OK, with that out of the way, when does this thing turn on the pump to top off my sump? When...

What, I gotta repeat the question!?! I figured fish would instinctively stay away from the deadly green carpet anemone. Not only do my fish not stay away, but when I feed Ol' Greenie they actually dive into him to steal his food. Even when there's no food they go practically inside his mouth to...

Right now my tank is on it's longest winning streak since I set it up. Everybody is eating, swimming, happy and getting along. Water clarity is crystal clear and mushrooms doing great. I haven't bothered bringing my water to the LFS for testing because they always claim my nitrates are through...

That's what my LFS says. I have these things in my tank that look exactly like fuzzy mushrooms, only they're a translucent white. I'll try to take a picture. Any idea what they are? Bleached mushrooms? Sponge babies?

I've always wondered about this but never occurred to me to ask hundreds of other people at once in a saltwater fish forum. Do your fish all act the same from one day to the next? In other words, some days my tank is a delight, everybody is swimming around in different parts of the tank...

I just got this guy a week or so ago. Up until recently I've fed him with whatever mysis shrimp falls on him when feeding my other fish, but for the past 3 days I've been placing a sizeable chunk of shrimp on him, which he eats. However now he always looks like he does in the included pic. Does...

I've always used Auto mode when shooting video of my tank, but whenever I move my camera it changes the white balance, hence my Hippo Tang will go from correct blue to washed out blue to purple, etc. Also my black background appears blue. I tried taking a measurement reference photo of my...

I've read that your classic green bubbletip anemone like moderate water flow and bright lights. But mine constantly moves itself into one of my caves, so he's hardly getting any light, and the rock he's stuck to blocks what little waterflow actually goes through that cave. He's perfectly happy...

Sorry, I'm not a reefer so I have no idea what category mushrooms fall under, so I'm putting this here. The guy from my LFS came by this morning and removed a particularly aggressive Queen Angel from my tank. In the process he did quite a number on my aquascaping. He put most of it back in place...

I keep reading where filter socks, or sock filters, whatever it is, should be cleaned once a week, or at the very least once every two weeks. But mine clog up and overflow every 3 days. It's a major pain to get the back one off. I don't have a major bio load and there's almost nothing in them...

Every day a fine film, whitish rather than brown or green, appears on the inside of my tank. When you view the tank from the front it's really hardly noticeable, although I do clean it off daily. After a week I imagine it might cloud the tank's appearance. I thought from my previous experience...

I picked up an absolutely gorgeous Moorish Idol specimen today. He acclimated beautifully and already is eating whatever I put in the tank, plus I've got plenty of live sponges in the tank for him. They had another Moorish Idol in a different tank that was kind of beat up so I didn't get him as...

I just got a 5" Blue Face Angel today. I acclimated him for an hour, much more than I have my other fish. I put him in the tank, he swam calmly to the bottom of the tank, looked around, then went to the back of the tank and has stayed there for over 3 hours and does this violent shake thing. But...

After suffering a major catastrophe (closed covers trapping carbon dioxide in my tank. Who knew!?!) I've slowly restocked, with a couple of survivors still hanging in.

I almost put the entire post into my title. Anyway, I have had a Queen Angel in my tank for 3 months. He hasn't changed much in appearance so I was wondering if a Queen Angel in captivity will eventually get its adult coloration. This isn't it but it looks like this Angel: Will it ever look...
