So pretty sure clownfish fry start with rotifers(live) then advance to brine shrimp(live) they need to be a bit bigger before they'll eat frozen food. You'll also need another tank because the parents can sometimes eat their young. Second tank can't have powerful filtration, just air stones and...

Where do you live? Once you get active on the boards or in Facebook groups, you can find almost any livestock w/in a couple hours drive or w/overnight shipping(typically pricey $35)

Noticed a worm on my glass today. Picked up some frags from my new super local LFS last, but don't want to automatically blame the new arrivals. Especially since I've seen similar tentacles in my sand for months. Don't seem to be causing too much harm, but let me know if I should be worried...

Picked up a cool frag at the LFS. Very pale green. Almost white under actinic. Anyone know what this is called?

Setting up nano tank. So far just live rock and live sand. Three of these guys crawled out onto sand and glass. Thoughts?

But when they're gone, are the corals the next target?

Any success stories of these guys in reef tanks?

Would this cut into my powerhead pressure? My return will basically generating all the flow for my tank(30 gallon)

So it just struck me, while it probably should've been obvious; if my return pump turns off. It turns into a siphon. Was adjusting the pump for my new sump system, and when I unplugged it my tank level dropped to three or 4 inches. What should I do to prevent my sump from over flowing in case of...

I'm in the process of setting up a dump for my 30 gallon reef tank. Simp is only 13 gallons but should help with removing som clutter from the display. Before the sump I was using a fluval 304 canister for most of my water flow(is rated for a 70 gallon tank). I have a 600gph return pump and was...

A)I have some dark red stuff growing off the pedestal that my star polyps came on. Not too unattractive so I'm not worried about removing it, but is it macroalgae? Another coral? B) white spiral growths on my tank glass and protein skimmer since I started dosing calcium. Thought they were...

Also, did a 20% water change a the end of the 5day treatment

Oh right, ammonia-nitrite-nitrates zero. Phos zero, but not using the super low range lol. 1.024-25. 30 gallon with 2 clowns, gramma a mandarin.

So I've had a sudden major improvement in the appearance of my coral, mostly soft over the last two weeks. Only thin different has been hat I treated for cyano(I know I caved, couldn't swing it managing my water quality) and I the mean time removed my carbon(to avoid removing the erythro). Is it...
