I have one of the $15 floating type. I love it, my kids REALLY love it, but my fish and polyps don;t seem to care for it too much. It vibrates inside the tank and sends everyone inside the tank for cover, and everyone outside the tank running to help clean. I have stopped using it every day...

hope this isn't too late. Your local Dunkin Donuts may sell their 5g buckets for $1 they are used for filling and icing. Not sure if there would be any harm in that.

I have one in my 55g reef. The only time I have seen it eating anything other than flake was when it ate a scarlet reef hermit that got yoinked out of its shell by an agressive blueleg. It picks up whatever the fish don't get to and seems kinda shy. I did catch it munching an amphipod during one...

can copper do this to inverts also? I am new so I may be wrong Erik

cruzan, I didn't see your email address anywhere, maybe I am :cool: blind please email me info about the aquacultured coral, I don;t my LFS takes that into consideration. I had to explain what a skimmer was to them yesterday.

What does everyone do with the water from your water changes? I used to dump my fresh water in the garden. Is there enough salt in the water to harm plants and grass?

I tried asking this before. Maybe this time without the friendly anicdote. I have a small piece of what I believe to be bubble coral. It has 3 white apendages coverd in white bubbles. They are connected in the middle of the three. It deflates at night. Is my guess correct? How can I keep it from...

the fish now has two smaller spots in place of the first. What is HLLE? Tests of the water .05 ammonia, 0 nitrate, 0 nitrite, pH is 8. I think the ammonia is from a red aglae problem that is dying off. There was copper in the tank about 3 years ago when it was fresh water but it has since been...

I guess it looks like a wound, but I don't know where it would have come from. His tankmates are a blue damsel and a threadfin butterfly. There is also an arrow crab, but it hardly come out from his spot. thanks for replying :) Erik

Hi. I recently got some yellow pollups and I was surprised by what looked like bubble coral in the bag with it. it is about the size of a quarter and appears to have three appendages connected in the center to each other. When the lights are on it blows up about 2x. My question is, how can I...

between the eyes and a little above is a small whole. The fish seems healthy otherwise. Would this be the same as the parasite that afflicts oscars so often? Is it treatable? This is such a perfect fish when we got it. I have had the fish for about 2 weeks. thanks in advance Erik

thanks for the reply I don;t have much of a cleanup crew. I have maybe 8 hermits some of both red reef and blueleg verities. I also have an arrow crab if that can be concidered a "cleanup crew member" Maybe someone could suggest some others I can get. Are the packages I see ok? Would I really...

Hello all, I have added a new light to my 55g tank about 3 weeks ago. It has 2 compact 50/50. I have had alot of changes in my tank since then. The coraline algae, that was shrinking fast off my approx. 40lbs of LR has really started taking off. It is red, purple, green, orange, and some black...
