is he doomed? He is damaged where it hit him...it fell on him after I put it in some aptaisia. I dont' know if he ate any or not, cause it's really close to the mouth...but he is burned. Think he will survive?

I acclimated 2 new percs today, and the larger of the 2 immediately went for my trumpet coral. I've never heard of them using the trumpet coral as a host. I've got 3 big green hairy mushrooms in the tank a little lower down that I thought they would take to. Is there any harm in letting him...

I found one in my tank this morning, nothing but the head. My son insists that it's a scavenger, and would only eat it if it was already dead. I think he needs to go back to the lfs. Any opinions? Or known owners of killers?

I just upgraded to a larger tank and I'm having trouble with my new setup...can someone help, please? I'm having a tough time getting my new system to run right. I built my own ecosystem, and I have a pump rated at 1000 gph for a one inch pvc into the ecosystem. I know this is too large of a...

I'm having a tough time getting my new system to run right. I built my own ecosystem, and I have a pump rated at 1000 gph for a one inch pvc into the ecosystem. I know this is too large of a pump for this size pvc, but I put a ball valve on the return line hoping to make it work. It's not...

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the help you've given me so far in moving my tank over to a larger size. I'm setting up my refugium, and I"m having a problem. My pump is rated for 1017 gallons per hour. I have a one inch flow from the overflow into the fuge. The pump pumps it out faster than...

Can I heat up new salt water to put into my new tank? I'm just setting it up. I'd like to put some live rock in it while it sits a few days.

My dh is swithcing our 55 into a new 75. My 55 is not in good shape at all. I have been neglecting it, but please note that there are no animals in it. Jusl live rock, and whatever animals it has inside. My question is, the water in my 55 is not in very good condition. There is ammonia, at...

I came home from vacation, and my precious clownfish had disappeared. This isn't the first fish that I suspect her of snatching in their sleep. Sally has gotten a taste for fish as well as a huge colony of Xenia. 2 KINDS! Has this happened to anyone else, and how can I get it OUT OF MY...

I bought a finger leather the other day, and it also had a small yellow fiji leather on the same rock. Well, I brought it home, put it up high in my tank in heavy current. The yellow fiji leather has gotten brown, and has snot looking stuff on it. One of my hubby's friends came over and told...

Mine kept disappearing. I had a pretty good colony of xenia going. It started dieing off, I thought it was something wrong with the water, but everything looks okay. I also noticed it looked like it was cut up where it was attached to the rock. Anyway, I just found my sally light foot with a...

I tried feeding my trumpet tonight like you suggested. I used mysis, and a turkey baster. Well, none of the shrimp get into the mouths. I have to beat the cleaner and clown off of it, and the shrimp just sort of washes away...what am I doing wrong? BTW, the trumpets bad places seem kinda...

okay, here's what I've got... 55 with 60 lbs. of live rock, dsb. Light bioload, just a clown, a scooter blenny, very small tang, ( quarter sized), and a goby. Various crabs and snails, brittle star, nudibranch, trumpet, flowerpot, xenia, galaxia, and yellow leather...which I just got, and am...

Having ANOTHER cyano problem...I think it may be too much lighting...not sure yet. I cut my lighting time in half. This is day 2. It's still there. Planning on a water change on or about Wednesday. Lights were new in March. Anyway, I'm thinking of putting an 802 in there for more...

Hi Everyone..haven't been around in awhile, but I was hoping I could still pick your brain. My reef tank is doing fairly well...cept I'm having a hair algae problem. I canNOT figure out where the phosphates are coming from. I'm using roi/di water...trying to do everything right...nothing is...

Long story, but to make it short, My ammonia is up. .25. I had one dead snail, Sammy said that wasn't it. I bought 2 new fish, fed them mysis, they didn't eat it. I took one side of my carbon filter out till I could get a new one, don't know if that may have contributed. My Sally lightfoot...

My Sally lightfoot is eating my friedmani right now. He's got it in his fat little claws, and won't let it go for anything. I didn't think they ate other fish. She usually eats Algae...Ever heard of this before? Anyway, I can't get it away from her. I'm starting a water change tonight. Is...

And would one dead snail send my ammonia to .25? I smelled one I thought was dead, and it smelled bad. I smelled another, and it smelled okay, but it was partially buried in the sand. The one that did smell bad hasn't moved since I put him in about 4 or 5 days ago. These are my first turbo...

Will my BTA sting my trumpet coral? And also, if I take my BTA back to the lfs, will my sweetheart of a clown be mortified? He likes it, and checks on it every now and then...usually sleeps near it, but doesn't feed it, or hang around in it too much. He's definately a swimmer, not a homebody...

Could I get some tips on the galaxia? I have 2 that I put into my tank about a week ago, and they just won't open up. I've tried every current and lighting level...nothing. I see their little tentacles down there...bright green...but boy are they stubborn. Any suggestions? Do they have some...
