I got a long tentacle anemone two days ago and it still hasn't attached to anything. It's the kind that likes having it's foot in the sand bed. His tentacles are sticky, but not his base. I surrounded him with small pieces of live rock so he wouldn't float around. When he floats around the tank...

I did test it and forgot to add it to the list. It's some where between 11dKH (196.9ppm) and 12dKH (214.8ppm). I decided it was closer to 11 though. All my other coral is fine, so I'm not sure whats up with this one.

I can't seem to figure out this coral. It's miserable, looking at him makes me want to just cry. This leather coral it practically white when he's suppose to be light brown and is always tipping to the side instead of straight up. I've try high light, low light, both with gentile and moderate...

This morning I found my feather duster with clear goo cloud around him with a black dust stuck to it near the head of his tube. I'm not sure if he's upset or maybe trying to get it on with my other duster. I just want to make sure what he's spitting out isn't bad for the other tank mates. He was...

I don't think the clowns are going to make it. They've gotten a lot worse. Their eyes are very cloudy now and their gills look frayed. One is swim at the surface and the other as close to the cave ceiling as possible. I think whatever is wrong with them is effecting the other creature too. Not...

I've got two 420gph powerheads on the bottom and the overflow and return at the top. Is mysis shrimp better nutritional wise?

The other three fish died from heat when I was switching tanks this past September. :'( It was a sad day. The pH is 8. The tank is 46 gallon with a 15 gallon sump and has live rock. There are crabs, snails, shrimp, cucumbers, feather dusters, and a bit of coral. Also if this tells you anything...

The larger one I've had for maybe four years and the smaller one two years. Tank readings: Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, Ammonia 0, Phosphates 0, Calcium 390, Salinity/SG 1.024, Temp 78F. I don't have a quarantine tank setup, but the clowns are currently the only fish I have in the tank, due to recent...

The pump is new so I doubt the impeller is damaged or maybe it came damaged and I cleaned the pump's pre filter, there wasn't much there. I'll try the vise grips, good idea.

My clownfish have been acting strange the past few days and today I noticed somethings up with their fins and eyes. Their fins have extra fin or/and the fins are decaying. Their eyes are clouded a bit and they're swimming very slowly and tipping from side to side. They've also been hanging out...

Here are some pictures. I've tested many times what happens when the pump is turned off since I live what the power goes out all the time. The return back siphons until it's out of the water. If the powerbeads are off the water looks like gel with all the bubbles suspended. I am running a...

Is there an easy way to restrict the flow? The return is only the pump with one line dropping back into the display tank. And how would I get rid of any air trapped in the pump?

There are millions of microbubbles in my tank constantly and I have no clue where they're coming from. I just added a skimmer and the bubble where there long before I did so it is not that. I have a bubble trap in my sump, but obviously it's not doing its job. The return pump is submerged in the...

I would like to get led lights to replace my metal halide light. I'm just not sure what light intensity or color I need to get. I'm also not find much online to buy thats not a expensive (less than $400). What type of led would be good for both soft and hard corals, plus anemones? What would the...

I was going to get some new fish for my new tank, but my shrimp is being a jerk. When I first got him I never saw him, he was a scaredy cat. Then maybe a year later he started running at my fish, claws raised, if they got too close to his side of the cave (all bark no bite). Now even the boss...

I had a similar out break a while back that would not go away, but I can't remember if it was brown or green algae. Anyway I did a few things to get rid of it, but what really got rid of it all in the end was a yellow tang and a flame angel. I fought that algae for half a year with no luck. I...

Just down sized my old tank about four months ago and the green algae is growing crazy on the glass, but not so much on the rock. Should I try to get rid of it? I do scrape it off the front glass when it really starts to get bad and it comes off in sheets. I'm sorely lacking in snails currently...

Why is it so much? All I want is the tank… 20 gallons are maybe $40, so wouldn't about that much?

Hey, so I'm having a lot of trouble finding a 15 gallon tall tank (20" x 10" x 18"). I've looked at all the obvious big places (*****, petsmart, walmart, ect…) and poked around at online stores that sell fish equipment, but no luck. Any help would be great or if you're selling one maybe I could...

Hello! I'm looking for a good skimmer for my new tank. I bought a coralreef one and it was horrible. It didn't bubble at all and leaked, getting the tank stand and floor soaking wet. I'm returning it. So all the skimmers I've found are way too big and I'm having trouble finding a small one for...
