RIP Streak.... My fish is gone. My very first salt fish(green chromis) disappeared in the last day. He was in my tanks 2 and a half years.... He was not sick. He was always up in the top of the tank with the other green chromis searching for food. He always fed. Never once did he miss a...

This guy has quadrupled in size since i set up my 50 gallon tank and i think i saw why this morning. He was sitting on top of my astrea snail like a hermit crab would if it was trying to get at its shell. I thought he might be a conch since i had a crap load of algae in the tank but this...

I've never been able to keep any invert, particularly snails, attached to the mexican region alive for very long. I used to think my mexican turbos starved to death but there is PLENTY for them to eat in my tank and they are still dying off slowly. I've also noticed that the ceriths i have are...

4 Sale are the pics shown below. I live in Champaign, IL. and will be in Chicago for Thanksgiving next Wednesday day/night. I would like to have homes lined up for these two pieces by then. Meeting would take place in Skokie. Please email me with your interests and more descriptive details...

I recently purchased a 50 gallon breeder(pretty tank :)) and will be combining tanks. In my 20 I have the dreaded red bubble algae growing in patches all over. Aside from physically removing them, my local LFS owner has said that a longspine urchin will eat them. He's been in the fish biz and...

I have a green montipora capricornus that needs a new home. Its becoming entirely too large in my 20 gallon and I do not want to frag the plate that its grown. Im going to be in Chicago in 2 weekends 11th and 12th. I can meet with you on Dempster Street with the coral on the 11th about mid...

This first one is in my 12 gallon. He's been in there for well over a year now. I haven't noticed anything missing. He only shows his face when I feed and sometimes at night ill catch him wandering around. Im not really worried about him even though he looks like a rock crab but it'd be nice...

Yay, my 2 blue and yellow tails have mated. They laid eggs under a piece of over hanging rock and there's tons of eggs now. The female im presuming is the larger and the mail is much smaller. I knew they were acting weird with their little swimming ritual every day. what to look for? the...

Here's my hider...

As you can see from the pictures i have an acropora species growing in my 20 gallon tank. I moved it to its current spot about 3 weeks ago and ever since then it has been slowly deteriorating. It looks like its bleaching but i am not certain. I am certain its getting worse whatever is...

How and where? I just posted a bunch of pics but don't want them entered. Is there some submit link? Thanks for the info.

First 12 pack from my new toy. Olypus C-50 Zoom. These pictures are from my 20 gallon tank. I'm very happy with my initial attempts and i'll eventually learn everything about the camera.

Semi test, so bere with me. Have a couple good ones.

Just wanted some ideas on how to do this. I have fish, live rock, sps, lps, softies, and shrooms. I have ideas on what to do but wanted some input. Its got to be bullet proof for 24-48 hours is the only stipulation. Thanks.

Is there an online source out there on everything pods? Im interested in knowing more beyond they are good and help clean the tank. Can't seem to find one though and would prefer a site with pictures of course... Thanks.

I'm aware of the recent message board issues. I guess last week the server died or something. Here's my issue. Months ago i noticed that in my user cp i couldn't "show threads from" the past 2 days, 5 days, etc. etc. It would always give me a search of no items found, even if i did the last...

Just curious if there is anything good or bad to this. I have a half dead bubble im trying to save and the only thing i can get in its mouth are the sinking general saltfish food pellets i have. He responded to them but i wonder if they are good for him or not... I have seen my other corals...

Well bought a $5 dollar mostly dead bubble today. Has a yellow/green tint to it. I need some tips on bringing it back to health. I know bubbles don't need super amounts of light and low water flow. Anything else would be helpful. LFS where i bought him questioned my logic but i know better...

Just thought i'd let everyone know there are initial plans for a new aquarium here in Raleigh. No idea how on earth we can afford it since our states budget is in the red. I see more taxes on the horizon. Either way i guess it would be nice.... It would certainly bring noteriety to the...

Well i have a variety of genuses of corals. Soft,lps,sps, and corralinomorphs(which some will say are inverts and i think they are personally). I've been using kents phytoplankton but recently was reading through Bornemans, Aquarium Corals and read the section on the three types of micro foods...
