I am trying to get a good look at it but the fish doesn't wanna let me see that level of detail :(. If it is a cauliflower like spot what does that mean?

Yeh I understand that but right now he is a little under 3 inches and I plan on getting a bigger tank within a year.

Worm eggs? Is that something that I need to take care of?

Hey guys I would appreciate help with IDing these two things. Especially the swiggley white stuff on the glass.

1 year old, and I have a large copepod population for the Mandarin.

I think I can safely say that the algae had to do with my cleaning crew, I upped the number of snails I had by 8 and almost overnight there was a HUGE drop in the amount of algae on the glass. I am receiving a livestock order from liveaquaria on Wednesday and I got another 10 dwarf crabs, and 6...

Yes I still have the sponges in my fluval, I have no fish, and I corrected my info to reflect that is only an RO filter.

Ok so it sounds like I need to remove this coral, siphon off the jelly and then just dip it in a bucket of Lugol's Solution? How long do I dip it in for and do I rinse it in fresh saltwater after the dip before placing it back in my tank?

Nitrates and Phosphates come up as 0, it is only RO water.

Hi there guys With the exception of what I think is a sick elegance coral the rest of my corals are doing really well. If you want to help me solve the mystery of the sick elegance coral I have a post in the sick coral forum. However this post is about a few other things...mainly nuisance...

Hey guys my elegance coral was doing great until about a week ago, it was all big and healthy looking. Now it is for the most part shriveled up and has this mucous on the fleshy part. The first time I noticed this I picked the coral up by the skeleton and shook off the mucous, grabbed the mucous...

I have been feeding the tank some pellet food every 3 days or so, and when I do a weekly water change I use Cycle to toss in some beneficial bacteria. Anything else I should do to keep the bacteria alive?

Ok while I am waiting for the ich to cycle out of my display tank I wanted to toss out my ideas for stocking so I can get your feedback :). - Purple Firefish - 2 onyx clowns (mated pair hopefully) - Wrasse (Either a fairy wrasse or a harlequin tusk) I have read that harlequin tusk will not...

Alright I received my first few corals on Thursday, they are all doing well however this one ricordea mushroom which I placed on my LR got dragged into a hole within that LR by one of my crabs. I just tried getting it out with my finger and there was no luck the hole is just too small. I guess...

I use Coralife salt, gives me Ca readings that are at 420 and alk readings that are kinda on the low end but still tolerable 8 dKh.

Current 4 x 54W T-5 lights, and for ordering online isn't that the reason they have guarantees on the health of these corals? I would imagine if it wasn't healthy during shipping and couldn't start working its way back to full health it would kick the can within 14 days right?

My water conditions are good, just checked them. Mind if I ask how I should go about acclimating the corals to my light?

I am just curious, I know with fish you should only add a few at a time so as to not upset the balance of your tank. Does the same apply to corals? If so do you think this is too much to add at once? - Small Elegance Coral - Nano mushroom pack (from liveaquaria) - Nano polyp pack (from...

Ok if I am getting a Tek T5 lighting fixture with 4 x 54 watt bulbs will that be enough light for SPS and clams (my tank is 18" deep) or do I really need the 6 bulb model? As for MH I realize it is the best but I can't afford to put more than $400 into lighting, so that kind of leaves me unable...

Hey guys I am looking to do the switch and I would like to be able to keep clams, SPS, LPS, and maybe some zoos in my tank. I have been reading conflicting opinions on whether T5 can cut it for SPS and clams based on where you place it in the tank - so I am kind of confused and would appreciate...

Yes they do, they even refunded shipping since this was the only animal that I had on this order which was a very unexpected but pleasant suprise.

Well unfortunately he kicked the can while I was at class today, came back to find him dead :(.

Yeh I called them yesterday and told them right away what was up so it is on file with the order. I am also wondering if he has some kind of Fungus on his mouth - it looks like he has some kind of fuzzy stuff on his mouth and he is also kinda being harassed by my dwarf hermit crabs. Which I...

Hey guys, I ordered a beautiful Scott's Fairy Wrasse off liveaquaria's Diver's Den and it came today but it doesn't look like it is doing well at all. I acclimated him for an hour and a half - what struck me as bad about his packing is that there was a lot of feces in the bag with him. I am...

Ok ok I suppose I will toss a percula or o. clown into the tank too. I have two more questions. 1) Someone said they believe the basslet and firefish will fight with each other - does anyone else think that the firefish and the basslet will fight each other? 2) If on top of those 5 I added a...
