Alright guys, I have been racking my brain and can't come up with anything super creative. I just finished cycling a 12 gallon eclipse, with 12 lbs. live rock and some clowns. I am thinking of using this tank as a little reef, or a fo with corals kind of thing. I am trying to come up with...

Last night, one of the sockets in my lighting hood stopped working, leaving one light. This morning none of the lights in the hood work, but the lights are still good. Obviously I don't have enough light to support my bubble tip, mushrooms and two flower corals. How long can they last with out...

I know from polls about where everyone is from, that there are otehr hobbyists that live in the D/FW area in Texas. I would appriecate it if you guys could send me an e-mail because I would like to know if any of you could help me out, but I don't want to post it here, because it is not fish...

I believe that my baby Koran Angel might be in the begining stage of Lateral Line, but I can not remember the exact syptoms or cures for her. Since she is soo little I feel terrible for not taking care of my "baby" better, since if I remember right Lateral line is caused by poor nutrition. As...

Since I was little I was always told not to throw coins into fish ponds because the copper in the coins would kill the fish. I know in the past people would throw a coin into their tank so that the copper would treat their fish, but I thought that it was just an old wives tale, and wouldn't...

I am wanting to find a little something better to feed my Blenny, so someone that has one, could you please tell me what you feed yours. Thanks alot, I just want to find what is best. ~~Megan

Well after a nice long month, I decided that it would be best to find a better home for my baby Mandrian, Merlin. I had rescued him from the Petstore that had no live rock for him to feast on, thinking that I might just have what it takes. But he was starting to get a little skinny after...

I was getting so worried that this site was never going to be up again! I really appreciate all the help I have gotten here, and I was begining to worry that they had closed this site, so I am very happy to be back and see all of you again!!! ~~Megan

I am starting to look very heavily into what I want to do with my future, and of course with my new found love of marine aqurium's, I was starting to look into Marine Biology. It would really help me out if you all who are already in this field gave me alittle into what they do as a marine...

I have been looking at a Koran angel recently, and I know that it will grow quite large, but right now it is very small, about the size of my baby clown. Now, this website says that koran's could become aggressive, and pick at inverts, but if I keep it with docile tankmates and inverts from...

Alright, so this isn't a matter of life or death, so you can breath, its more of just something that I find is very important. I have a 25 gl tank, with a little less than 20 lbs of LR, (I stacked it really cool, so its doesn't even take up a fourth of the tank, and looks awesome with lots of...

I was always told that fish don't have memories that last more than five mintures. I can definetly bust that theory. I took my puffer out and put her in the QT tank so that I could try and reintroduce some inverts and a percula. She stayed in the Qt for over two weeks. When I put her back...

My cute little clown fish that was brutually attacked, now has what my lfs says is a cyst. It is just this little bump on his side behind the first white stripe that has kinda faded color. The fs said that it would be okay and to leave it alone as long as it didn't turn into something else or...

What are the requirements of keeping a Flower Pot anemone healthy? I am wanting to get one for my f/o 25 gl tank. Thanks for the info in advance! ~~Megan

I can never seem to have happiness in my f/o tank. I have a 25 gl with about 25 lb. of lr. Inhabitants: 1 spotted/sharpnosed puffer 1 False gramma 1 cleaner shrimp 1 Camel Shrimp The fish attacked my sweet clown, so I put him in the qt tank after buying the last 13 lb of lr that didn't help...

I saw a picture of an adult Domino damsel that had turned a blackish, yellowy purple, which was supposed to happen with age. Do they automatically change, or do you have to add something to the water, and about how long would it take for them to be an "adult"? I just thought that was the...

I was just wondering if this is true or not, or if anyone has heard this, but one of my friends who works at a petstore told me that if you keep you tank at 80 or higher, your fish won't get ick. She told me that ick breeds at 79 or lower, so higher would keep it away. What do you all think...

I have gotten varying opions on this topic, I was just wondering if maybe I could get a better idea. I have had my tank up for over two months, since I dumped all the water out and started over, before my levels were always perfect, but with my new fish and water I can never get my ammonia and...

I went to the fish store to buy a clearner shrimp, but instead I ended up getting a horseshoe crab. They employee told all kinds of things about it, but when I got on this web site, the inverts section didn't have anything about it, and said to watch out for anything that wasn't on the list...

I know that there has been a post about this before, but none of the replies seemed to really answer the question very much. I just started my tank over after a total wipeout, making srue that everything was in working order. I just got my new fish, but I hadn't gotten any cleaner type stuff...
