Anyone suggest a good sand cleaner? I have hermits and a huge mexican snail, but I really don't like the crabs, I'm tired of them killing off the turbo snails that I had and killing each other. I also have a brittle star but he doesn't clean the sand at all to be honest.

What do you think could have happened to my coral beauty angel? He started looking a little sick a few days ago so I put him in my quarantine tank. He was just lingering in one spot not swimming too much, he didn't have any white spots, but under his gills on his side looked like they were...

So I've been thinking about upgrading my tank recently and I went into my LFS and saw this beautiful tank. It's a Marineland 93 gallon glass cube tank. It comes with the top and wooden stand. They said it is Reef Ready (not sure what that means, but they said it doesn't need an extra skimmer or...

I want to add more LR to my tank, do I have to do anything special to the LR from the LFS? Or can I just add it in the tank? Is it safer to just use base rock? and if so, how long does it take to turn into LR?

So I have these 2 LFStores that I go to in my area. One of them is ultra huge with 100s of tanks and everytime I bought a fish from them it died. So I started going to this smaller one that is family owned and has maybe 30 tanks and I have never had any fish die from them. So the little LFS...
