hi all I've had my SW tank now for about 2 years. The other day i spotted something under the LR. It was a crab, a big one. It amazed me that I had never seen it before. Is it ok to have this crab in my tank. I can't get a picture of it but it's about 1.5" in diameter on it body. Brownish...

thanks for the response, Just one question though, why are someof my fish not affected if it's ick. I was told that it wouldkillmy wholetank in a week but three of my fish never show any signs of ick and the cowfish gets it and then is fineafter a few days. I just don't understand. Thishas...

Hey all, I have had a few fish in my tank for about 6 months now. It seems that my cowfish has spots that come and go all over him. They are little white spots. They will be on him for a week and then go away. When I added two new fish to the tank a month ago, they did fine for about 2...

thanks i'll keep an eye on it

I have something growing on my LR. I believe that it is Cyano. It is a very dark red carpet that started next to my featherduster. If it is cyanobacteria, will it do alot of harm to my tank. Also, on my other LR there is some more stuff growing. It's greenish and yellowish, kinda reminds me...

Hey I know that thiese are probably simple newbie questions but I have to ask them. Idon't have a d-camera I've suddenly got a large amount of brown sediment on my rocks and sand. And I know have hundreds of tiny little worms on my glass, the average is about 5 mm long and the thickness of a...

Yes, i'll do 10% every 3-4 days for about two weeks, then change to a new filter. The m-green should be gone by then from my experience. I'll leave them alone and see if they come out

Thanks I'm starting a quarintine tank as this seems to be the recommended choice by all. I just didn't want to have this tank running with nothing going on in it most of the time, is there anything else i can do with it when i don't need it? My tank is 55g. I cycled for 1 month by putting in...

SW tanks are a whole new experience. I just started mine not to long ago(4 months) and Iv already killed two fish, my others are not looking good(except 1), and my starfish looks like something out of a horror show. I got ich so I treated my tank with rid-ich(not a good move but I don't know...

I was told about other options that were to expensive for me right now. I looked around the net and found that the M-green would be ok to use and shouldn't hurt my tank too much so I thought that I would try it first before spending the money right up front(bad choice I guess). I tend not to...

I had ick in my tank so I added m-green. I knew that this would stress out my tank but I didn't think I had a choice. Since I added it my chocolate starfish's horns have turned white and fallen off and my featherdusters have dropped their tails. What I wanted to know is will my starfish and...
