Anybody have any info on trumpetfishes? I saw one at the LFS today and it was cool looking. Is it hard to keep? What does it feed on? Can it be kept it a reef tank? Any info would help. Thanks

Have you had one before or know of somebody to have one in a reef tank? I feed my fish either Formula 1, Formula 2, or Angelfish frozen cubes. How do I make sure certain fish get their fair share? What makes me mad is that my clownfish always gets it first and once in awhile he'll drop the...

I had an impulse purchase today. I saw a long-nosed butterfly fish and it was on sale and so i bought it. The only questions I asked the LFS guy was compatibility issues with other fish. Never bothered asking him if it was compatible with a reef setup. I went home and did some research on it...

I have a 75g acrylic aquarium that has a decent amount of scratches on the front of it. I was given this removal kit to try and get rid of these annoying scratches. I followed the directions to a "T" and it didn't help at all. Anybody have this kit and has had success? Any tips for me...

I got this mandarin by mistake. I asked my parents to go out and buy me a golden head goby and the LFS didn't have one. The LFS guy somehow talked my mother into this mandarin even though its not truly a goby. He said it was. He also said it was a beginner fish and only requires a little bit...

Just seemed like he was trying to find a mate or something and was expelling sperm or something. Just odd to see it happen i guess. I've never noticed it before.

Like usual, I was admiring my tank. I was watching my mandarin swim around and then all of a sudden he stopped and sprayed white stuff from two little holes in his head. What the heck did he do? It definately came from him and the white spray lasted about 3 seconds.

Well, after about 30 minutes the brain went back to normal. Not really sure what happened but I'm glad he's ok.

I was moving some rock around and accidently hit my open brain. I barely touched it. All of a sudden it spewed out some gunk and shrank a little. Am I screwed? Did I just start the death clock on my open brain? I don't see any visible wounds. Is this a defense mechanism maybe? Does it do...

I've heard of people putting live rock in their sump to help prevent unwanted algae grow in your main tank. Does this work? How much rock should I put in my sump?

My Berlin skimmer doesn't seem to work anymore. Not really sure why. I've cleaned it many times and then it works for a day or two and stops working. Can somebody tell me what they would suggest for my 75 gallon reef tank. I have a sump too so I don't want a hangon.

Actually I did try replacing the starter with the other one and it still had problems firing. I then tried some other bulbs and it still wouldn't fire completely. Almost though. Any ideas what the problem could be? I'm just gonna go replace both of the starters. So i could go to Sears...

I have a 48" hood with 2 NO bulbs. One of the bulbs doesn't seem to want to turn on completely. It just blinks and blinks and tries to fire. I think I have a bad starter. I think thats what they are called. It's the little cylinder that twists into the center of the hood. Where can I buy...

Argh...another problem has occured. One of my feather dusters decided to reposition himself or the current moved his tube so i tried pulling him out and I guess he attached himself to a piece of rock. I pulled the tube out and the feather stuck to the rock. It's in full bloom and looks happy...

I just purchased 3 feather dusters the other day and today I noticed one has died. I know this because a gel-like blob has formed on the tip of his tube. I purchased a feather duster about 2 months ago and it died within a week also. Back then I had terrible water conditions so i wasn't...

Now i feel like an idiot. I didnt catch the joke in that one until now.

What magnet is that rickt4du?

i'm used to buying $10 magnets also but its time to get a real magnet. The magnet I'm looking into right now is about $75 and is made from a rare earth magnet. They are just very very strong magnets. They even have warnings on them about getting them too close to each other when holding them...

yeah, under $100. I've seen magnets advertised for $250. Supposedly they are rare earth magnets and can handle like 2 inches of aquarium thickness. Where did you get your $25 model Mr Salty?

I think i'm gonna ask for a new algae magnet for christmas. Yeah, kinda sad but its something I need and i know they can get costly. Does anybody know which magnet will give me the most bang for my buck? I have a 75 gallon acrylic and a 55 gallon glass tank that I would need it for. If it...
