    Saltwater feeder fish

    I don't have anything that needs feeder fish, so this isn't a dire question, but I know there are obviously feeder goldfish and guppies for freshwater, but are there any live saltwater feeder fish that someone can buy? I have never seen any in a LFS, but I was wondering maybe online or...

    Serpent Star Question

    I got my first serpent star yesterday, and it is the coolest thing ever, despite only catching fleeting glimpses of it. I just have a question about it. Obviously, its nocturnal, only coming out at night to feed, but how in the world does this thing with no eyes know if its night or not?

    Slightly cloudy water

    I just set up my first saltwater tank about a month ago. I haven't done a water change yet, and the water is still slightly cloudy. I have live sand, so obviously I wasn't supposed to rinse it.

I was thinking that maybe because my LFS had him on a sandbed, he got accustomed to it? Does...

    Fusi Goby?

    Hi everyone. The fish store I work at has had a fusi goby for sale for several months now. I finally brought home the little thing yesterday, but I can't seem to find any specific info on it online. We've had it for months, like I said, so I know what it eats and how it behaves, but I just can't...

    New tank setup questions

    Hey everybody, I started a thread in the reef section earlier without realizing this section was here for new hobbyists. Forgive me. But I have some questions. I inherited a 70G aquarium from a friend of mine. He gave me the tank, stand, canopy, sump and protein skimmer. Because the protein...

    New to the hobby; lighting question

    Hello everyone, I am new to saltwater but have had many years experience with freshwater aquariums. I recently got a new job at my lfs, and a coworker gave me a tank so that I could start learning. I have read many books about the subject of saltwater aquariums already, but in my experience...
