Well, thank you all so far... I will let you know how the tank looks after this weekend! I haven't heard that only certain species of peppermint shrimp will eat the aptasia... does anyone know the exact name so that I can look for a couple? Thanks again

Hello! My husband broke the bottoms of 2- 55 gallon glass tanks by putting them on an unlevel surface... one is shattered, the other just cracked... Is there a way to repair these or replace the bottom pane of glass or will this create a problem w/ the strength of the tank? Any advice or...

I recently found out that those ugly creatures that have spread throughout my tank are aptasia, and I have read on this forum how to remove them.... So my plan was to treat them with a needle and chemicals, and some peppermint shrimp........ but no, I got home last night and my husband had...

The store was feeding him dried shrimp, which I bought tons of and have been offering to him daily. I also put some guppies in for my puffer, but have since learned that eels wont chase for food in the tank (which is ok w/ me)... the pet store told me that he actually was taking the shrimp out...

Thanks Jim, I don't want to get into corals that are too difficult. I was planning on just some basic feather dusters, and lots of mushrooms! I just want some color and happy fish! I have a canopy, with 4 bulbs, 2 are blueish color. I am very handy, especially with my husbands help, but I...

I was hoping to cover the rocks with mushroom corals, a few anemones, soft corals. I do have a canopy, I bought the tank used, there are 4 bulbs, the man I bought it from bragged that they were great, and he had soft corals. But I want to update my system before subjecting any animals to...

Hello, we are building a reef tank. We have had our system running for 1 1/2 years. We only have fish now, 3 damsels, 1 royal gramma, and 1 brackish puffer, (along with hermits and a coral banded shrimp). We really want to start adding some corals or plants to our tank. We have 70 lbs of live...
