    What are these, eggs?

    Hi there everyone, long time no talk. Since my husband has been barred from posting here, I have to do this. Our tank is in flux with algea growth and cyno. We are trying to battle it as best we can with water changes and a GFO reactor. All our fish are doing fine and all inverts are fine...

    disappointed

    I have to say I am really disappointed with our last fish order experience. We had ordered previously and a good protion of the order arrived deceased or almost deceased. This time hubby wanted to surprise me with a green mandarin. He also ordered peppermint shrimp and an emerald crab. One...

    fat blenny

    My one spot blenny has what looks like a beer gut. He has quite a belly on him. Is this normal? He acts fine, does it mean he's eating too much? Should I be concerned?

    Sugar cookie water

    OK, I didn't see a forum specifically about water, but since that's where the fish live I figured I would put it here. Soooo, hypothetically speaking mind you. What would be the ramifications of, say, a 4 year old boy eating a sugar cookie over the open tub of mixed salt water and getting...

    Gotta start them early!

    Our daughter wants to be a groomer like her dear ol'mom so tonight when I decided to give our dog Sully a bath she wanted to help. Hubby couldn't resist taking some photos of her helping give Sully a bath and dry. He's a big guy, supposedly Standard Poodle. He even came with papers LOL. I...

    Lion Wrasse?

    There was a really cool looking fish at the LFS when I went to get my one spot blenny. I asked the girl what kind he was and she told me a lion wrasse. I've tried to google it to learn more about them, but can't find a single thing under "lion wrasse". Has anyone heard of them? Had fins that...

    OMG! SOS! HELP!

    Deep breathe, deep breathe. hubby, if you are on, don't read this! OK, I've been in charge of the tank while hubby is gone. He's supposed to be home sometime tomorrow, finally. So I thought I would surprise him and get him a new frag of zoas since he loves them so much. So when I went to the...

    Queen Angelfish

    At my visit to the LFS today I saw a tiny Queen Angelfish. I of course thought it was gorgeous, came home, googled it and of course, not a fish we can have in our tank. What I found really interesting though is when I googled the images they all looked SO different. I mean, body the same and...

    One Spot Blenny

    Well I picked up my one spot blenny today at the LFS. I am acclimating him right now and this is the first time I've ever done it by myself. A little nervous about it. I can't seem to get the drip as slow as hubby does but I think it's okay. Also got hubby a surprise for when he comes home...

    anyone have pics?

    I'd like to see what sympodium and clove polyps look like in an actual tank. I haven't really seen any pics of that here that I can recall. Thanks.

    Good thing daddy isn't home!

    Our son just broke one of the jugs we use to get RO water from the store. he's been told before not to touch the jugs and of course it had water in it, so I got to clean up all the water off the floor. He swung the jug and dropped it on the ceramic tile. I turn my back for 2 seconds, I swear...

    New Mushroom

    Well we added a new mushroom to the tank yesterday. Hubby got it from a local guy he's in the reef club with so it wasn't attached to anything. We took Flowers advice and placed some rubble in a place with low flow. Today it's open big and beautiful. This is the corner the brown stuff is...

    Mushroom coral

    Hubby just brought home a blue mushroom. How do we attach it to a rock? Hubby said something about a toothpick? Also he said something about putting it in a bowl with a rock and hoping that the mushroom would attach itself to that rock. Well, I want it on the top of the seal rock so that the...

    All alone with the tank

    Hubby leaves tomorrow for GA and won't be home until at least midnight Friday, which means I am in charge of the tank. He has already given me specific instructions about what to do, how he does it, times to feed, what to feed, how to feed, water top offs etc. So if you see any desperate SOS...

    Good filter

    What is a good filter for a ten gallon tank? I think hubby would like to change the QT to a DT. Since it was just a QT tank set up, we were using a cheapo filter. Would like to replace it with a decent one, then add lighting and a powerhead. Already has the heater in there and has been set...

    Christmas Tree Worms

    Does anyone have any? I came acorss pictures of them while looking up Christmas tree coral and I am intrigued. What little info I could find on them said they are difficult to keep, but it doesn't say why. They are filter feeders, prefer shady spots and need phytoplankton, but I don't see any...

    Fish frustration

    About a month ago we asked out LFS to order a one spot blenny. They have had one in there before, which is how I came to really like this particular fish. They said they would order it and it would be in the next week. Now, I know there have been a few snow storms, but it has been a month...
