    Does Salt Go Bad?

    Back in the spring I bought a 48lb bucket of Instant Ocean Sea Salt. Since then it has become hard and clumpy. When I first bought the container the salt was similar to sugar. I had to take a screwdriver and hammer to chip it apart. It will disolve in a bucket and reads correctly, however...

    My Maroon Clown is intent on hosting in my Haitian Anemone. The anemone has gone all over the tank from front to back and now attached to the glass side. I know this type of anemone do not normally host clowns but my clown chases it where ever it goes. Should I be concerned?

    I have a 55 gallon tank with a Coralife Super Skimmer (33000 65G). I recently added fish, water, and cleaned my collection cup. Now the bubble production diffuser is putting a lot of bubbles back in my tank. Any ideas as to why or how to make it stop? Also will it hurt my fish?

    Box Damaged Upon Arrival

    When my box arrived today it was damaged. The Fed Ex man said I could fill out a damage report at Fed Ex. The box was very wet at the bottom and was busted. When I opened the white foam one of the bags had apparently either not been sealed correctly or tore because water was on everything and...
