    BTA acting strange.

    First to start off, I have a 29 gallon biocube with ~20 pounds of live rock, a saddle clown, a flame hawk, and a lawnmower blenny (along with various snails and hermits). In February, I decided to get a Bubble tip anenome. It was big and colorful - a green and pinkish color, and about 5 inches...

    every fish that goes into my tank dies.

    Thanks for all the replies guys :) Actually, after all the crabs, snails, and shrimp were added, all of my algae problems have disappeared. The lawnmower blenny (RIP) took care of every single bit of hair algae/green algae growing on the rocks, and I haven't seen anymore since he passed -- a...

    Red bubble algae?

    Just noticed a pretty large patch of this stuff in my tank this morning. It looks a lot like bubble algae, only it's red. It's growing all over the rock.. I pulled a piece off, and sure enough it feels like bubble algae as well. But I have never seen red bubble algae, only green. Is there such...

    best pygmy angel

    Can anyone tell me what kind of pygmy angels would be best to keep in a 29 gallon reef tank? I don't currently have any coral, and am not sure what kind will be in there yet... Current residents are just a couple oscellaris clowns, an alleni damsel, and various hermits and snails. Thanks in...
