This guy finally came out when I had my camera around. I think he came in on some rock I added about a year ago. I believe he is a keyhole limpet, but any verificaiton or other ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance for any input. (and thanks to everyone for the help withe...

Agh...I cannot get a pic to show up for an ID...any thoughts? I am an idiot. I can email it to someone if they know how to do it?

So I have been rebuilding my reef for just over a year now...it crashed last time I moved apartments. While it was a horrible thing to go through, it did give me a chance to rectify some of the mistakes I had made up until that point (ie - having a 2 1/2 foot SFE in my reef knocking everything...

No idea what is going on, I keep finding things in my tank that I have not noticed before, although I have not added anythign for months...maybe I am just learning to see better or something! Also, I promise, this is the last time I will forget that I now have a digital camera...pics from now...

OK, so yestersday I escaped from work at a decent hour and was getting ready to do a water change, when all of a sudden this thing appears...I was too enthralled to get a pic, so here is the best description I can muster: It had the body of a snail...long at seemingly one large "muscle", about 2...

HI, I recently got my first digital camera for a gift: a Casio, exelim z-55. 5 megapixel (lucky me!) Anyways, while I understand it is not a professional grade camera by any means, it is plenty powerful enough for my inexperienced self, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on using it...

Anyone currently use one of the Phosban reactor tubes in a closed loop system? I have a 55 gallon, but it is not reef ready. So I am using a HOB filter (Prism Pro Deluxe - ps - do NOT buy this), but i was looking to run some form of media filter, rather than just running carbon on the outflow...

OK, well maybe not an idiot, but definately not the smartest... I bought what I thought was a nice colony of Clove Polyps, but once I got home, I realized that they have a calcium-like structure underneath the polyps. (at the LFS the polyps were open and so dense that I could not see the...

Thanks in advance for any help, and I understand that an ID of a nudibranch without a picture is virtually impossible...but any help/advice would be great. I have searched the site to try and do my own ID, but I could not find anything that looked similar. I noticed some thing strange on a...

In advance, thanks for any help (the help from this board has made my tank what it is today). I have a nice colony of Zoanthids doing great, growing and starting to spread to the surrounding rocks...and then...of course, something goes terribly wrong! All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, this...

no idea what happened...woke up this morning and one of my wee guys was sucked against the intake screen of a power head...weird because they have been in there for six months, and never had a problem? Wonder what happened to him...the mystery of fish I guess. Anyways, my question is if I...

So, I currently have a 55 gallon, with a hang-on skimmer (Prizm Pro Deluxe), running a jbl 240 watt lighting system. (very basic, I know, but also, very nice and simple!) I have in the past had a phosphate problem, although it has not yet seemed ot have a negative impact on my tank (no algae...

Quick (probably stupid) question...can I put nassarius (sp) snails in with a CC bed, or do they need a live sand bed? Thanks for any thoughts.

OK I found this coral I would like to buy, a beautiful red Goniopora...but after reading about it I am a little nervous about keeping it. My water parameters are pretty much perfect. I have a 55 gallon, with 260 watts of PC lighting, skim about half the time, and run a phosphate sponge whenever...

So I bought this shroom rock of a local reefer who was breaking down his tank (pretty cool rock), and he threw in a container of "Black Powder" and one other similar thing (although I forgot the name of the second one). The container says it is specifically for reefs and includes rotifiers etc...

OK, just wondering if they are worth the money and/or the trouble? Noticeable difference in the quality of the tank? I currently dose with b-ionic, and was wondering if I would see a huge difference if I added a calcium reactor? thanks for any thoughts, Stewart

Just a general question. I am currently runnning a prizm pro deluxe hang-on skimmer on my 55gallon, with a ton of LR. I also have a Eheim pro cannister, but I do not use it as I read it can actually add nitrates back into the system. My question is, with the LR, is it enough to run only a...

Hi, I have a 55, great water conditions with the exception of a lingering phosphate problem (its just never all going to be perfect!). Lighting is 4 x65 PC, two actinic. After researching the coral here, I bought some branching hammer coral. Two main pieces, each with two living heads and...

I have a few small pieces of Ricordia i bought here, and it is doign great. I have been feeding it some brine shrimpe through a turkey baster to give it a little somthin' extra. The problem is that I have three cleaner shrimp, and when I feed the ric, the cleaner shrimp jump all over it and...

Last night I was doing a 40% water change (in an ongoing battle with a slight phosphate problem), and I decided to take my skimmer off and clean it out inside, as there had been a buildup of some gunk in there. The skimmer is a Red Sea Prizm Pro (hang-on type). Anyways, I cleaned it out, put it...
