Bang guy, thank you the technique worked.

Ok I am trying this technique right now. Wish me luck

About 4 mos. ago I started my first coral reef. I bought 2 pencil urchins for my tank and for the last 2 mos. they have been slowly destroying my corals. My problem, other than them decimating my corals is that I cannot get them out of my tank. I have tried waiting for them to come off of the...

I bought a fresh unopened clam that was on ice from the kroger seafood department. I did however, have them crack it open for me. i drove right home, and It was in my tank in less than a 1/2 hr. after it was purchased. Thanks everyone for your valued input. Although, I am no closer to figuring...

No, nothing else has been different. Someone even asked me if I had used a different cleaning agent for the house. I keep the same routine from day to day. The only dif. was adding the clam. I did wash the clam in cold water before adding to tank. I tested my water the week before and all...

I have a 46 gallon fowlr tank that has been up and running for about a year. I keep mainly invertebrates with a school of green chromis and damsels. A lady at the local fish shop advised me that I could buy fresh clams at Kroger to feed to my inverts. This morning I bought a cracked open cherry...

Ok did some research on this little star, got so many mixed reviews. After looking closely at my tank for about 20mins. I noticed that I have Many small feather dusters,4 baby hermit crabs, some kind of green stalk like, possibly plankton growing, some purple algae, and a 4inch bristle worm that...

I am going to assume that this little guy is a hitchiker of some sort? Where did it come from? I bought some rubble rock a couple weeks ago. The guy told me that it was small pieces of live rock. If so, have not seen anything growing on it but algae. Is this where this star care from? Its on the...

thanks so much. For us older folks acronyms are hard to keep up with. lol. Hey i know that one. took me awhile but I got it. thanks again.

No, noone came across wrong. I have always enjoyed the Damsel fish. and I find it to be the hardiest, colorful, and least expensive of the trade. And for me that is all that counts. I have a hard time parting with my hard earned money when it comes to making aquarium purchases. I refuse to spend...

Is it possible to post a listing of commonly used acronyms that people use on your forums when referring to different types of aquariums, equipment, and livestock?

All because of watching the show Tanked, i got the idea to do a damsel only tank. To me the damsel fish is like the ciclid of the ocean. they are active, and colorful, and are considered by most to be the bullies of the water world. I now have seven damsels in with each other with no...

Diatome issue under control now. did a partial water change and used coffee filters to skim the gunk off the top. have been free from brown stuff now for about 2 weeks. Had the experts check out my tank and water again, got an all clear from them. Thanks to everyone whom replied to the post. i...

ok, i took some of the brown stuff to the Saltwater Warehouse located here in Dayton Ohio and they said that it is caused from leaving the lights on too long. They did mention that sometimes it happens to their nanos that they have for sale. I was advised to do a 15 gal. water change and only...

I have been in the hobby for many years now, but have mainly done fish only tanks. This time I want to do an invert tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be good to start out with for my tank? I need inverts that are hardy, and easy to feed. I will take fish suggestions also. I...

yep two fluval canisters running. was first thing i thought of. check them this morning and tonight. both running fine.

I just started a new tank about a month ago. in the middle of cycling, all counts are great. cycling . This morning when I went to feed the fish i noticed some brown stuff covering the top of the water. cant figure out what it is. I do notice some brown algae growth on the glass. Is this algae...

I have been ordering from this site for several years and have only recently encountered an issue. My last order had two fish that had no water in the bags, and was dead. i immediately took pictures, and put in for a refund, and was granted a refund on my credit card with no issue.

3 years ago, i bought some red leg crabs for cycling my tank. I thought that they all had died. Recently i had a tank crash, and all fish perished. Now i am seeing crabs all over the place. Where have they been? do you think they procreated? were they hiding from the fish? If anyone has any...
