I have attached a picture, but I just want to know what it is and if its ok for the tank!! I keep getting random new members and colors in my tank. I'm not sure where they come from, but every time so far I've been told they were great things for the tank! Heres to hoping that happens again...

Nope my snails didnt die and neither did my live rock. Thats good that the snails dont carry ich, so in like 6 weeks I should be good? Of course as long as all my levels are good? Thanks for the info:) Carmen

Hello! I had posted in the new hobbyist area and they reccomended I post here about ich. I had several fish in my tank and some snails and the fish all came down with really bad ich. I medicated and medicated, but slowly and surely they all died:( I however want to make sure my tank is in...

Thanks everyone! I was probably guilty of over feeding(since everyone was sick they probably werent eating what I was giving them and I was feeding like normal), so hopefully these suggestions will work! I tested my amonia, nitrites, nitrates, and ph and everything was great except my...

All the fish are dead, but I still have live turbo snails. Will they hold the bacteria? It does suck that the tank has to sit, but will the snails mess everything up? Thanks!

Sorry about that!

Hello! My husband recently bought two fish a Koran Angel(medium sized and changing) and a Longnose Butterfly. At the store they had info saying they were peaceful and reef safe, but on here it says the Koran can be bold and that neither are reef safe. We plan on setting up our reef tank more...

Just my experience with a mean yellow tang, but every fish we put in new he would beat up and he killed several before they could make it through the first night. Now that I have a new tank no yellow tangs for me! Good luck, they should be fine with many fish except similar tangs, unless you...

Hey! This may not help, but I just had a huge amount of copepods in my tank and they ended up making it cloudy. If you see little white things crawling everywhere it may be them and they are good. I just had so many it made my tank cloudy....they are thinning out now! Carmen

Thank you guys so much! Just cant wait for my tank to eventually clear up! Gonna buy a full cleaning crew in a couple of days!

Hi! I just had a hair algea problem also and some people on here and at the fish store recommended turbo snails and they have helped my problem considerably!!Hope that helps!

Yeah my tank was clear until I started to notice those tine copepods. Then within like a week my tank turned cloudy. I know they are good, but there are too many of them. Thank for your help!

Hello! I was told I have copepods, which I agree with, but if I have a lot will it make my tank cloudy? If not then what would? Thanks! Carmen

Thank you for your help. I am relieved. And the dirty sand that is a algea out break im trying to control. I need to clean the sand again....I dont know why but this time restarting my tank is being difficult! Thanks again!

Hello! I previously posted a question about moss growing in my tank! I have attached pictures this time. PLease let me know if you know what it is and if you know how to stop its growth! Thanks!

We just moved from the east to the west coast and had to re-establish our tank. This time however during the cycling there is a hairy looking moss growing all over my not quite back alive rock. I reduced the lighting to like 9 hours a day, but maybe i need to make it less....im not sure! Does...
