What are some recommendations for RO water filters that some of you use for your tanks... Are their any favorite cheap and easy to use filters that any of you recommed?

As much as I use Joe's juice and remove aiptasia it comes back in a couple weeks, any ideas on how to combat this issue? Is there some kind of change I can make to my water chemistry or anything else to be proactive?

Just fund this under a rock, it has a oval shaped hard shell on top, 2 eyes and two feelers/tenticals... It is about an inch long. Any clue as to what it is and if I should put it back in the tank?

So in the past few weeks I have lost: 2 Emerald Crabs 3 Scarlet Hermits 1 Blue Tip Hermit Is there a predator associated with these deaths maybe? I haven't see or heard any Mantis shrimp, I did see a 3 inch yellow worm awhile back, could that be the issue? Any ideas...?

So my Cannon Powershot is horrible at close up focus pictures so this is the best I could do. These green things appeared out of nowhere on the LR and move around allot, I count about 10 of them throughout the tank. I am wondering what they are and if they are harmful to anything in general...

I ordered my new 90 gallon tank today and when it gets made and I set it up I am wondering is I should use sand or crushed coral. My current tank has crushed coral and I remember the guy at my LFS saying it was better because bacteria and micro organisms can attach to the substrate better...

So I moved about 3-4 weeks ago and everything in my tank is doing fine except the leather coral. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions "if any" about something I could do to help it. It used to be 3 times the size it is now and sometimes gets bigger but no where close to the size it...

Does anyone know the specific name for this species of Sweet Lip?

I am moving in 2 weeks, I have the following: 1 reef tank w/: leather coral, star polyps, button polyps, live rock, mushrooms, watchman goby, flame hawk fish, 2 clowns, cleaner shrimp, emerald crabs, red tips, blue leg, fan worms... The other 2 tanks are not that hard, one is a fresh water and...

I recently added a watchman goby to my reef tank, first couple of days he is doing well, and then he disappeared for a few days and when he came out again his whole lower jaw was missing. I noticed after a couple of days he had some marks on his lower jaw and then he disappeared and it was...

on on the subject of clowns, can you have 2 pairs in one tank, I am assuming you can if it is large enough, thoughts? I am think clarki and ocellaris...

I have my mantis shrimp in a nano tank, what can I put in there to keep it clean without having the mantis shrimp kill it?

Just curious, never really seen a topic about them, I assume they are just too hard to take care of?

I have a Green Start Polyp in my reef tank and in my research I have heard conflicting reports about food, light and water flow. Here are some of the things I have found in my research: Food: Fish poop, leftover flake food, plankton Water Flow: Low to moderate, high if you want them to...

If I move to a larger tank and I start with a brand new canister filter not using any of the substrates from the old, will the cycle start over or will the organisms from the base, water and live rock attach to the new filter? If so how long will this take? Or should I just plan on starting...

Mantis Shrimp? This is not related to my other shrimp topic in here.... I think he is responsble for some new deaths in my tank, 2 snails and one fish, the fish I an not sure about though. I know where he lives, this one rock and he comes out when I feed shrimp to my hawk, should I just take...

My friend bought me a Coral Banded Shrimp, "or closly resembling one" for my birthday, since then I have seen it dead in my tank about 4 times. Then I look closer and it seems that it's and exoskelton that has been sheed. This common behavior I assume, as the invertbrate grows they shed there...

Does anyone know what kind of crab this is or any information about it...? I know it comes from the Central America region...

That you find it really hard to let a fish go? It is too much work and money for me to keep 2 tanks and I am taking down my fish only tank and I really don't want to part with my trigger and my puffer. Has anyone else had the same issue? Is there a support group for this, would a shrink laugh...

I live in the city and I have a beautiful Niger Trigger about 3 inches long and I would like to part with him, he is very nice and not really agressive at all. He actually turns on his side when I have my hand in the tank and lets me pet him... Message me if you are intrested...

I am seeing all kinds of new creatures in my live rock, I have a question about one... I think it is a snail without a shell, has 2 feelers and is gray and looks like a snail. My question is, do snail's hatch from pods? I have seen to white cocoon like shells/pods emerge from my rock and I have...

My canister filter is about 3 months old and started to leak the other day, I cleaned it about 2 weeks ago and it was fine, all of a sudden I came home to wet carpet. It seems like it is not sealing right, can the o-ring go bad in 3 months, do you think I just need to get a new o-ring?

I got a full 30 gallon tank setup from a co-worker fro $50 and I wanted to start a small reef tank so my question is will the filters still have the right bacteria to cycle the tank even though they have been dry and in storage? Should I just count on starting a cycle from scratch?

A co-worker gave me his full setup, tanks, filters, protien skimmer, powerheads, etc... it's a 30 gallon tank, I am going to put about 20lbs of live rock on top of 3 inches of sand, this is what I have in mind for the tank, please comment: 1 Mandarin, Green Goby (Pterosynchiropus splendidus)...
