So a couple of months ago I set up a 2.5 gallon tank at my office at work. I was looking through my 20 gallon reef setup for some coral anc inverts to drop in when I came across what looked like a head of my frogspawn that had come of the stalk. I figured if I left it in my big tank it would...

Hey everyone. I'm gonna start up a 2.5 gallon with a few small inverts and LPS's. I know, a tank that small is hard to handle because evaporation can cause huge swings in water quality and salinity. My question is about lighting. I have a balast for a 9 watt PC. Should that be enough light...

Question! So I got a pistol shrimp a while back and he's hanging out with my little goby. They're pretty cool together but they're not all that dynamic in my tank. I'd like to get a couple of pepperments or maybe a coral banded shrimp but I'm a little worried that thi pistol shrimp will...

Hey everyone. I have a 20 gallon tank that's been up and running for around 8 months now. It's got a small frog spawn, galaxia, combat coral, some kind of encrusting SPS, and some softies. For the most part, everything seems healthy, but they arn't as colorfull as they were when I first got...

Does anyone know what this is? I saw it on the sand in my tank and sucked it up in an eye dropper. The color scheme is the same as my frog spawn, bright green with purple-ish tips, but it's tiny and has no skeleton. Any ideas?

So I've got a 20 gallon thats been up and running for over six months. In the last month or so I've been getting this brown, stringy, slimey looking algea accumulating on surfaces with the highest flow. Any idea what kind of algea that is and what will get rid of it. My CUC is just snails...

So i got a pistol shrimp about three weeks ago. i aclimated it for about two hours'ish and then let it go into my ten gallon tank, at which point it burrowed and i havn't seen it sense, nore have i heard any snaps or whatever. I did see a random pile of sand that was a darker color than the...

Anyone ever cut their starfish in half to get two? I was saying how I had done it before to someone at an LSF and a guy said that he read that no ones ever documented cutting one in half and getting two. But that sounds wrong to me. Input?

So about two and a half months ago I bought a small chunk of rubble with about four species of zoanthids on it and some waving hand star polyps. Both seem to be thriving but the waving hands completely hide the zoas when they open. Anyway, the star polyps spread to a larger rock that the chunk...

Hey everyone. So I just bought a clown fish the other day and today I noticed he had a little white spot on the right side of his body above his pectoral fin. It's like a little white pin prick at the top of a raised area of skin. Amonia and nitrites are 0 Nitrate's < 20 ppm pH is 8.2 SG...

So I live near the beach and we have a bunch of nissarius snails and hermit crabs (these guys are greyish brown with white stripes running down their legs. I see them at ***** every now and then). Anyone have a recommendations for critter to gallon ratio?h

Hey Everyone. So I was at my LFS the other day and they had some GSP in one of their QT tanks because the rock had got infested with some kind of pest anemone. There was insufficient light and the water was way too cold apparently. Nothing was opening up and the purple mat was falling off the...
