    LR Gunk

    I did the same as Steve40. I was too afraid to scrub it off, but now that I have researched it is probably a dead sponge, it will go away or like Steve said the hermits will clean it up.

    lawnmower blenny

    Sorry about the delay, I left town for the weekend. I wouldn't worry about the sinking algea pellets. Do you have other fish in the tank? What food do you feed them? Your blenny will not come up and eat at feeding, he will graze all day and night. If you feed you other fish with algea...

    coral beauty

    Don't get too concerned about him being finicky, mine was at first as well. I finally saw him activly eat at feeding tonight, a week after purchase. I feed Formula one and two in the day and at night I soak brine and reef plus with vita chem, garlic, and fatty acid supplements. He still could...

    lawnmower blenny

    My blenny is a pig. He is always munching pods off the LR. He also likes the plants I have in the tank. Although he watches when I feed, he never goes for the food but rather waits till it settles then picks the stuff he wants. (lazyMo) I do feed with Ocean Nutrition green food and add a clip...

    Please, I Need Help!!

    Hi there, Well from my readings I have learned it takes an anarobic bacteria to change nitrites to nitrates. It seems you have some in your tank b/c you do have nitrates. However, you may need to be patient and let it grow and colonize in the rock more. Do you have LR in? Whatever you do try...

    what is that

    OK my sons posted this so let me clarify and give more info. On my LR there are these animals with multiple long extendable white almot transparent tenecles. If you look in the LR to the source of the tenacles you can see a white body that opens up to reveal tenacles. Above the thicker white...

    Did this ever happen to you?

    OK try this one on for size. I cylced my tank to all 0 levels except Nitrates at 20 ppm. Then I did a H2O change of 20% all good. Then I added snails, crabe, GARF grunge and moved some LR around in anticipation of fish. Oh yeah and I fresh water sprayed one rock to get out a mantis (when I...

    need some info

    I had a 20 long in college with a whisper, but for added circulation I stuck in a power head as well. SWF need more water movement than fresh. I kept only damsels and they did fine, but then damsels generally would survive everything. It is a fun and expensive hobby in the beginning, but...

    How come?

    Hi there, From my reading on the net it seems these buggers will lacerate human flesh fairly easily. Tales of toes and fingers having to be taken off after an attack are prevelent, however I know only what I have read. Supposidly they can shoot thier claw out with the force of a .22, and have...

    aquarium & Noisy Room

    YES YES YES sound will stress the fish and stress can kill your fish. Don't crank that baby up if you will have the tank in the same room. We have two BOSE waves, and they can put out some sound, please be kind to your fish. You will invest a lot of $ in this hobby, a little advice would be to...
