I bought a flame angel last night and he seemed perfectly healthy at the fish store. No signs of disease and swimming freely through the tank. I brought him home and acclimated him to the tank. Last night he seemed thrilled, going in and out of the rocks and swimming all about. I bought Pygmy...

Let me start by saying I purchased live rock approximately a week ago from a place in florida. The rock is incredible and is crawling with interesting animals and plants. At first I loved it but now that the water levels are becoming better more things are coming out of the rock and I don't know...

I was at my LFS last night and the guy I usually deal with told me that since I now have 25 pounds of Live Sand and 50 pounds of live rock I should remove the bio balls from my wet dry amiricle filter because it is actually counter productive and that they should all be removed. Should I remove...

I added 50 pounds of live rock last night and noticed that among around 5 extra starfish and a few little unidentifiable crabs there is a fish that just skims around the surface of the rock and darts in holes whenever i see it. Someone suggested its not a fish. But it definately is a fish - it...

I added 50 pounds of live rock to my tank today and tonight I'm looking around with a flash light to identify life forms. I noticed this thing that looks liek a lizard almost. It just hops between holes real quickly in the live rock. Im guessing it is actually a fish? It is about 1 inch and has...

Ok - I am making my tank into a coral tank with fish. I already have crushed coral on the floor of the tank yet at a certain website they offer packages with live sand/live rock/clean up crew. Is the live sand neccessary and is it alot better than crushed coral? Can I put live rock right on the...

Heres the problem: I just bought the Red Sea Prizm Skimmer. I followed all setup directions and went over them numerous times yet the skimmer won't work. Once plugged in the fan (pump/impeller) will blow what appears to be air into the water yet nothing will happen. Water never goes to the 2nd...

I have done a back search on all the Live rock posts on this website in the past year and read a majority of them. From everyones testimonials I now know that it is a great idea and a fun one to add the live rock. I currently have a 45 gallon tank and 5 damsels. Im running a amiracle wet dry...
