I have a LTA that has been in my tank for about 1 month. My LFS store sold me frozen Krill for him, but I do not think I am having too much luck getting him to eat it....I think. I can get him to hold it in his tenacles, but the clown always seems to pull it around until it floats away. I try...

I put this LT anenome in my tank a week ago. It looked like a good specimen, good coloration, planted his foot in sand, opened up within a day. LFS said they fed him a day prior. After a few days he picked up and moved...has not planted his foot and only opened up once about 2 days ago. His...

I have three 55W PC Half/Half-- They are three months old. I have a berlin airlift skimmer that collects a half canister of coffee colored water with NO foul smell every other day. I do 10% water change every month. I NEVER feed the fish...as I do not want to add to nutrient content. I do not...

I set my tank up about 4 months ago. Have 55# live rock and 3-4 inch live sand. I have only a damsel and a brittle star,,,had them for about 2-1/2 months. After about 2 months, I started getting a lot of green algae-style plant balls that were definitely not hair algae, but they took over every...

Should I remove the exoskeleton from the tank?

I bought a clean up crew last friday. I looked in my tank today and noticed my CB Shrimp had shed his outer layer. I am not sure exactly what this means. Please help. I also noticed that my blue let hermit already left his shell for a larger one. Are my inverts OK? Thanks

I have the Red Sea Phosphate Test Kit. I live near the Washington/Canada boarder in a small town so my water comes from a glacier run off river. We do have a county water plant that processes the water...little bit of chlorine and some other things are added; however, the phosphates register as...

Some sort of measurement for people that use an artificial ozone maker on their system.

Ok, I understand about the water change issue...I kinda figuerd that. As far as the temp issue goes...I was getting temps into the 85-88 degree range w/o the fan. I do not have an air conditioner because I live in a relatively cool climate near Canada. I have 165 watts of PC under an Eclipse...

I have a fan blowing across the top of my water to keep it cool. I maintain an even 75-76 degrees;however, I loose about 1 gallon of water a day to evaporation. As I replace the water with dechlorinated fresh water, can I consider this the same as a water change? Or, do the nitrates remain in...

Thanks again for your help. I will try with the no feeding for a week or so. I think there is plenty of turf algae for them to scourge on. I also have been adding DT's live phytoplankton. I hope this has not been contributing to my algae. Thanks again.

What is the best way to acclimate inverts? I am getting some snails, hermits, brittle star fish, some varities of shrimp and a clam. Any help would be appreciated.

Two more questions. I am ultimately trying to eliminate unwanted algae by adding desirable algae. Will adding this Halimeda Calcareous Algae help with my goal? And because Halimeda Calcareous Algae does not reproduce sexually, does this mean that it needs to be replenished from time to time...

Wow, I would really appreciate that. Explain shipping, and how much it would cost. Please give me some details, or direct me to a site that gives instructions on how to keep this algae. You mentioned that is is the best for refugiums...does that mean that I cannot keep it in my main tank? I...

Does anyone know where one can buy Halimeda Calcareous Algae online? I am looking into the benifits of adding any macro algea EXCEPT Calurpa. I have heard Calurpa can overgrow ones tank. I cannot really set up a separate refug for now so I heard Halimeda Calcareous Algae, or other Calcareous...

I have heard that some cleaner inverts love to feast on coralline algae...such as hermit crabs. I have no inverts in my 2 month old tank and I have an explosion of purple, maroon, red, and orange coralline aglae. I LOVE IT! I am noticing patches of bright green hair-like growth on the rocks as...

I want to put a clear piece of acrylic between my PC lights. I have heard that acrylic is very brittle. Can another clear plastic like Lexan work? I would appreciate any suggestions. Also, what is the best product to use for a reflector....aluminum sheeting? Is there a way to polish this up and...

Hey Ren! The funniest thing just happened. I clicked on your link to your photos and as I was looking at your Firebird?...or Camero?, I said to myself, "That street and neighborhood looks like Bakersfield, CA", even though I had not seen where you were from yet! You see, I just moved away from...
