    Crazy Myth's Lets hear them

    I will, from this day forward, never complain about my little grandson Andrew... AKA the fish tank terrorist ever again. I will always remember that picture, and be able to say, he is normal. Other children are just like him, he is not alone. OMG!!!

    Is regular marine epoxy safe?

    I can't find aquarium epoxy in any Pet stores by me. I don't want nor can I afford at the moment to order $100.00 worth of stuff on the internet to put it with another order. Just for epoxy I would pay more for shipping than the money for the putty. Marine putty that I found in the hardware...

    ID please on Starfish

    Hi, I know the books say a bumpy star isn't reef safe. I had one in my 75g for a long time, and it never hurt a thing.

    UV sterilizers - Your Opinions Please

    I have four feather dusters, 2 are coco worms. I know this sounds odd but they are my favorites. If I were to get a UV sterilizer, could I turn it off for a few hours to allow my feather dusters to feed, if I feed the tank with the UV off? How long does it take a feather duster to feed?

    Aquarium snow?

    Hi, That's the snow! You got it. However I must agree with Florida Joe, even though coral likes to feed on marine snow, there are better things to feed them. The good news is, it's not bad! I use 2 canister filters, and I never put it together that it might have something to do with why I had...

    Aquarium snow?

    You must have kept lots of fish from the start. I have no snow now because i have a stocked tank. I used to add fish sooo slow. My rock had lots of cycles. Now my fishies get them and there is nothing to die. I don't have a refugium. I wonder if snow could be in a refugium and not be noticed.

    Aquarium snow?

    I don't get it much now, but when I first set up my tank I had it real regular. My guru guy said that rock gets so picked over by the fish that eventually the snow stops because there are not that meny critters dying off.

    Fight or flight

    I thought I would pass it on. I asked a while back about coral being too close. I see all these really nice tanks loaded with coral touching even. They said charcole in the filter will clear out the poison they shoot at each other.

    What happened to my xenia!

    Hi, Xenia loves cooler water. Also light. This happened to me. How old are your lights? My Xenia went down to a little pool of goo. The babies were the last. They didn't need as much light to keep the colony alive. I thought my xenia was gone, I changed my bulbs and now they grew out of the...

    Aquarium snow?

    Hi, Marine snow is not in a bottle. LOL There is a product called marine snow, but that is not what the author meant when talking about what zoos and mushrooms eat. Has anybody noticed their aquarium water is all clear one day and every once in a while it looks like, well...snow. If you run the...

So whats...

    ID Please

    Awesome! Do you have a ledge to keep it under? They don't like the light. Whatever you do, don't let any air get to it, so don't remove the rock from the water no matter what. I added the last just in case you didn't already know.

    Coming out of a piece of rock

    I don't know what to call them. They are worms that send out a little string to try and catch food. If you get rid of the little string it comes right back in a few hours. They are harmless, but I didn't like them. They get on everything and just look bad. I save the skeletons of coral for the...
