I am sure it is not aptasia, unless it is some rare breed that I have not seen before. Most of the ones that I have seen are semi-brown in color, multiply semi-rapidly, and do not react to light. I am not sure what I am going to do. He came in with the rock in November of 08 and has not been a...

I recently purchased a Yellow Watchman Goby and would like to know what type of pistol shrimp would be the best choice to try and pair the two. I have a 10 gal nano with a purple pseudo and the watchman. Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks!

The color and behavior is not right for aiptasia. I will have to look into this peanut worm thing. Whatever it is, it is not harmful to anything else at the moment. Will it ever be harmful? Anymore replies are appreciated! Thanks!

This guy came in on a rock. He only comes out at night, when we shine a light on him he shrivels up in roughly 10-15 seconds. If the pictures are not good enough let me know and I will try and take some better ones, but they probably wont get any better as our camera is old. For scale... he is...

Thanks!!! I have been reading some of the pages you sent and they are very informational. I look on here but I sometimes find it cumbersome to find exactly what I need to know. This is in no way a negative comment, I am new and some of the stuff is way over my head. I usually find myself...

thanks... the site was useful and interesting. So there is nothing to worry about with anything that they sale in the lfs? Well, in regards to poisoning me? Im not going to start out propagating corals. Also, any other sites that you, or anyone else, think would be helpful to a newby would be...

I just read that Zoa's are toxic and should be handled with care... What does it mean by toxic? I of course have nothing but LR and snails in the tank at this point, but am curious to know what is meant by toxic. Will it harm me or the inhabitants of the tank? I know this sounds cheesy but I...

Thank you all.

Sweet good to know that it will not hurt anything. Thanks for the help.

My salt turned to stone!! haha Can I still use it? Or has it become unsafe for the tank? New to the saltwater and curious what most people do with their salt. I mixed my first batch of water ever and just rolled the top over, obviously it turned solid. Do most purchase premixed? Is it safe to...

I am in College Station and frequent Houston to shop for fish. I have a few stores that I usually go to, but would like to know of more. If you are in the Houston area and know some that you think I need to check out please let me know... Thanks

Thanks for the input. I don't have my mind made up on the fish just yet. I am not really worried about the burden they would put on the tank, just having fish that would be living in such small confines its whole life. I would like to have more than two, but we will see after I start adding...

That sounds cool. I am going to check out the thread. Thanks for the info and help!!! I am sure I will be back for more.

Ok t5's it is. Ummm how are you going to build a sump/refugium for such a small tank?

Two HOB's enough for a 30gal... My intentions are to use live rock in them with the sponges that you had previously told me about and culerpa. The rio nano skimmer which is rated for a twenty gallon. So if two fish are out of the question, are there any other creatures that you would recommend...

Oh man you are breaking my heart.... not really. Oh well, that is why I am on here. Any other options that you have in mind for such a small tank? I think I remember seeing a dartfish??? that was pretty cool. Looked like it maintained a compact size, but I might be wrong. I have not researched...

Lawnmower Blenny and a Clown... Or that is what I am thinking at this moment.. I guess that would look nicer with an anemone. So I guess you can add that to the inhabitants of the tank.

I have a 10g tank that has been running for about a month. I am looking at lighting options, as Christmas is around the corner, and I am curious as to what type would be better for my 10gal tank. I intend on keeping polyps, two fish and some of the easier stony corals that will do fine with...

Originally Posted by Keebler The more you research the cheaper the hobby. Sounds stupid but believe me...it's true. Carbon is okay, but not needed. Some people take a hob filter and instead of putting filterfloss and carbon in it, put live rock and cheato in it. Yeah I have heard of putting...

Originally Posted by locoyo386 Hi Aaron, I have a 10g tank, but I am not an expert. I have the pinguin 150 as it came out of the box, and I have a heater that is for that size tank. I added 20 lbs of LS and I currently have about 7 lbs of LR. Nothing more nothing less. I do hope you realize...
