I am doing a small DIY project for a sump. I bought all the stuff a while back, and then read on here that I bought the wrong silicone. So I went out and bought the new stuff and put it with the stuff that I had already bought. Now I can't remember which stuff was the wrong and which was the...

So I noticed a strange creature in my tank last night. It looked like some kinda of worm. It was approx. 1-1.25 inches in length. white. probably as thick as a toothpick. I wanted to get a pic but this thing was flying around the tank. It would shoot out of the liverock swim very fast around...

We just added a sixline wrasse to our tank. He seems to be pretty aggressive toward the inverts. not so much the shrimp but he has picked at several of the hermits. He isnt doing anything toward the clown. I thought they were supposed to be pretty calm. anyone else have this issue?

Has anyone ever used one of these? We just put ours in and it doesnt really seem to be doing anything. Seems like maybe the aerartor isnt big enough or something(but why would they give you something that didnt work?) I dont know, if anyone has used one and could give some tips or opinions I...

I believe i have a preg. peppermint shrimp. Seems like she is holding something under her tail. Is it ok to just leave her in the tank with everything. I assume most of the babies will just end up as fish food. Or should i take her out for some reason that I am not thinking of?

We just got our first fish, black ocellaris and he is looking way sad or something. just swims around the top of the tanks at the very edge, lap after lap. We dont really have anything for him to host as we have limited corals since we just started. Do you think i should get him a...

We just got out first fish in our 29 gal biocube. WE got a black ocellaris, cute little guy probably only about 1.25 inches long. Seems like he is doing ok so far, but he just keeps doing laps around the top of the tank. He is literally just going in a perfect square at the top, stopping...

I have a feather duster and the thing seems to keep getting dug up by my snails. How fragile is the tube they are in, i want to bury it deeper, but i dont want to hurt it trying to get it down there. What do you guys do with yours?

My first tank is going really well, all done with the cycle. ready to do some additions. I was thinking all this time that this was my first experience with saltwater fish, but then i remembered. I have long time knowledge with these species. So it was approx. 1989 when I did my first water...

What are some of your favorite brains? I have seen alot of different ones that people have on here. ALOT of really nice looking ones i should say. We are going to get one, just trying to narrow it down.

What do you all think about putting a copper banded butterfly in a 29 gal biocube? Starting to make our fish list, and I am really wanting to put a small one in there. I am thinking if i waited till i could find a smaller one, he woudl be alright for a while. Other fish would be a yellow...

I am trying to do a water change on my cube and have been mixing the salt with the ro for about an hour now and the salt will not mix. i am using instant ocean. any help/advise. thanks everyone.

My new tank is getting way to hot(still in the cycle phase). So before I spend the money on a chiller I was going to try to raise the hood. I dont want to have to get a different hood, since mine already has the MH upgrade. So does anyone know what i should be searching for to just buy a...

I am a total newbie, just picked up our first load of live rock and got a couple of these guys in there with them. good for the tank, or get them out now. Have them seperated right now.
