Hi, yesterday I noticed my sexy shrimp eating my xenia. He was sitting one of the stalks and picking off the fingers and eating them. Is this normal? He also enjoys hair algae and pieces of shrimp I supplement him with. I will try keeping him well fed, but any other suggestions to minimize his...

Was away for the past four days and came home to this guy sitting in the sand in my 4g nano. Must have came in on some live rock. Questions What type of crab is it, and is it reef safe. Also, I could not tell if it was dead, or simply a shed exoskeleton. When I picked it up it fell apart, and it...

My Maroon Clown

I realize this is a saltwater fish forum so I'm putting this in the off topic section. I Have a piece of drift wood in my freshwater tank that I recently bought at a LFS. The wood looks as tho it is decaying. While I will eventually replace it, is there any harm being done to my fish by...

Probably the biggest wast of money I have spent on fish supplies. It creates thousands of bubbles and it did'nt even work much at all. 1 to 2 week water changes are a much better option.

Yea if it works im deffiently trying to keep it. I just hope everything survives.

My 10g tank crashed...I took what was left and am trying to keep it alive. I found this small azoo container and a light. I went to the store and purchased a crystal sea technoflo filter which pumps up to 65 g/h. What I have left Alive is a pom-pom crab, a scarlet reef hermit, and a random...

I am going with a group of friends on a scuba diving trip for our senior project. We need to incorporate a research project into our trip, and need to take pictures of what we see. We want to buy a good underwater camera, but one that is not too expensive. We are lookin to pay up to 500$. We...

I unfortunately purchased one before reading all these negative responses. Right now it seems to be working as the cup is filling with some type of gunk. However it is mass producing an abundance of microbubbles. Is there anyway to get rid of them? If they dont go away I will prolly take the...

Are micro bubbles harmful to a tank, or just an annoyance. I know they can kill sponges, but do they harm corals such as leathers or other soft corals? Do they bother fish? Thanx

O no. I didnt paint the bottom. I didnt know i should have. Its to late to paint it now, but is thier something i can put under it like a black cloth? Also, what should I put in there for comfort? I keep the lights in the room off, and try to keep it as dark as possible. Is this a good idea?

I was browsing through a fish magazine I received in the mail, and noticed a new skimmer they had for sale for nano tanks. Its called a Fission nano-protein skimmer made by Current. Its for tanks up to 30 gallons and measures 6.5 inches by 2 inches. It says powered by a air injected...

Well I was finally able to set up a quarentine for my Maroon Clown. He seems to now have develped fin rot, and its pretty bad because each day his fins are getting smaller. I am worried they are just goin to disapear. I set up a quarentine with a wisper 20 and some carbon. I let it run for 2...

My temp is 79 My salt is 1.024 Not sure what my parameters are. I really need to get a test kit. I just did a 20% water change. My fish has been sick for about a month, with it getting better sometimes, but then getting worse. Right now is the worst I have seen him so far. I feed Kent...

The problem is I do not have the option to set up a quarantine tank, as my parents will not allow any more tanks. The tank is only a 10g tank, and it is not stocked very heavly. It only has my clown and a neon goby, some bluelegs, astrea snails, and a pompom crab. I also have a small leather...

My clown is getting sick. His fins seem to be rotting, and both his eyes are cloudy. I have two medicines at home right now. 1) Pima Fix, which says treats fungal infections on body and fins, and is reef safe 2) Saltwater Maracyne-Two, which treats fin and tail rot. Im not sure if its reef...

I used to have a real bad cyno problem, and I would treat it with chemi-clean. The chemi-clean would work great and almost all of the cyno would go away. Recently my cyno came back, and now is completly not effected by chemi-clean. Is it possible that a small portion of my orgional cyno had a...

When I bought my Topfin heater, it came with a rubber cap on the end. Is this cap suppost to stay on while in use, or was it only for protection while it was packaged. I've kept it on in the tank but it keeps poping off so im not sure if its suppost to be there. Here is a picture of it. The...

What are you feeding your flame scallop. They usually slowly starve in tanks as they need a highly specialized diet.
