my blood shrimp molted last night and i caught my emerald crab eating the molted shell!!

pegasus, my 8 year old son said the same thing to me when i got home from work:)

couldn't get a picture of the back but it's grayish white and kind of bumpy.

just curious if anyone knows what this thing is on my glass?? must have come out of my live rock last night? tank is about 2 months old.

looking to purchase a LED light for my tank. it's 60 gallons (23 inches high) and i'm trying to make sure the light i buy will be able to grow corals on the sandbed. i was looking at this one current USA orbit marine LED light. anyone have any experience with this? i'm looking to keep it...

did several water changes over a few days and my remaining fish are doing good. thanks for all the insight :)

thanks. i don't have any corals. i don't recall a smell at all but i wasn't there long after. i still have my 2 cardinals and the blue green chromis. seems like none of my inverts are effected. if it's hydrogen sulfate will it dissipate and will the remaining fish get better?

i have 2 JBJ 500 GPH powerheads and a HOB Reef octopus 100 skimmer. 1 powerhead i have pointed up on one side and the other on the opposite side pointed down towards the rock. both are about 2 inches below the water surface. the only other thing i can think i did differently was i stirred up...

thanks for the info and appreciate the help! i do have my own test kits. was using strips for PH. bought the liquid test. i test nitrite, nitrate, ammonia and PH every Saturday. maybe the test strips are not good? my hydrometer reads 1.023 and it was the same at the LFS. just tested my...

i used a rubbermaid container to do my change. i checked everything. no bad odor, no electrical issues. just got back from the LFS and had him test my water and he said it's because my PH is too low. he said it was 7.6 and that's why they died?? i added a marine buffer sea chem. not sure...

bucket wasn't used by anyone else. i don't think anything would splash into it. i do it in my basement and rinse the hell out of it with hot water before any changes. it must have something to do with my water change? should i do another water change (buy a new container) ?

i mix with RO water with instant reef crystals in a rubbermaid container. let it sit for 24 hours with a powerhead and heater in it. temp was 1 degree lower(78 vs 79 in tank) and salinity was the same?

My tank had been running great (60 gallons, 45 lbs live rock, 45 lbs live sand). Have had it about 2 months now. Woke up this morning and 3 of my fish were dead. A great barrier reef chromis, a sunshine chromis and a midas blenny. my 2 cardinals, blue green chromis, emerald crab and blood...

They seem to be growing on my glass (mostly the back). 60 gallon tank is about 5 weeks old. seems like there good for the tank. should i scrape them off before it gets out of control. right now i have a blue/green chromis, sunshine chromis, 2 cardinal fish, emerald crab and 15 snails.

Here's my setup. Just curious what else I need with a FOWLR. looking for recommendations on lighting and a heater. I read that with live rock and the skimmer i won't need any additional filtration from what i have below? marineland 60 gallon, reef octopus classic 100 HOB skimmer, 2 hydor...

thanks for all the info. it's much appreciated!

Setting up a saltwater tank and I'm curious what I need. Looking at a 50 gallon tank and a guy told me I will need to drill holes to mount bulkheads to and run PVC pipe and he kind of lost me there... Is that necessary to maintain a solid tank? Thanks in advance!
