I had a couple of quick questions about this brand of salt. First off, there is a list of ingredients listed on the side & one of them is copper. Any body have any problems, or is this something that I shouldn't be worried about? Second question, there doesn't seem to be any mixing instructions...

We're are thinking about making some changes to our tank & just wanted some quick opinions. I think I might be pushing it but...Whats the likely hood of keeping a trigger & a tang in a 75gal tank? I know that I wouldn't be able to keep huge species of these two fish, and im not even 100% sure...

I spotted something a little strange in the tank today. I tried to get a picture, but it was right up against the glass, and I couldn't manage anything that would help. It resembled a snail. It was about an inch long, with antenna on the 'head.' It also had a shell-lie structure on its...

Any suggestions for a fairly large, centerpiece, reef safe fish? Anything other than a tang, btw. Love them, but I'm not sure they are right for me. I know other people will use butterflies, angels, or triggers, but those aren't really reef safe, and I don't want to take the risk. I'm not...

I saw some at the LFS and was wondering if any one had any experiences or advice. Any suggestions on how to tell a heaelthy one from an unhealthy one? TIA.

Went to the LFS & purchased some new GSP (will post some pics when they open :) ). They LFS guy was absolutely amped on selling us some iodine. He insisted that polyps & mushrooms required it to thrive properly. We didn't buy it because everything is doing fine in our tank, but I just wanted...

I feed the tank today & noticed this guy sneaking out of the rock...Pretty sure its a peanut worm, but I just wanted to make sure. Then some type of macro that is only growing on one rock. Its in a medium flow area, but its growing in the light & the shadows. Seriously should have read the...

So when we first bought the snails, of course, they were all jumbled up in the bag on top of one another. Figured I'd put them in the tank & they would...well...disassemble. Well...some of them did and others didnt. Two weeks later they still continue to ride eachother around. Figured it was...

My LFS has in a fairly large shipment of what they are calling 'black chromis' They have a more elongated body than the regular green chromis, but are all black with a little bit of yellow on their tails. I BELIEVE the scientific name is chromis nigrura but I can't find any information...

I made a trip down to my LFS to improve my cleaning crew, and made some great purchases. One of which, though, was incorrectly labeled as a fighting conch. Once I got home & started looking at different pictures, and reading more about the species I realized I had received a queen conch...

Alright...where to start...theres a couple of factors going on here so I'll try to make it as clear as possible. Oh, btw, my info isnt current, so I'll updated that as soon as I'm done with this. I just remembered :) The lights are new though - that is vital information. And we are running them...

Why do hermits lose legs? Aside from a water quality issue, would there be any other reason?

two weeks ago, instead of just moving our 55gal tank, we decided to upgrade. the LFS was having a pretty good sale on black friday (75gal for $75 - we didnt need stand, lights, ect. but even if we did it was still $150), and we got sucked into it. anywhoo, after about 8 hours of work, we finally...

Earlier today, we had a little bit of a crisis. For some reason, the glass on the thermometer broke. Well, more like cracked. Not sure how it happened, but it shorted out the tank & some of the appliances in the house, but everything is back up & running again. We did a PWC (~10%), just in...

These little sponge-like things have been popping up all over our tank. They a beige in color, bulb shaped with little "tuffs of hair" at the top. They are all popping up in places that have low light, so I am assuming, also, that they do not care too much for light. Also, they are about 1/4"...

My boyfriend and I are interested in adding some anthias to our 55gal tank. We currently have two black perc. clowns & 2 yellowtailed damsels, 2 peppermint shrimp & 12 turbo snails. I just had a couple of questions before we made a purchase. 1- saltwaterfish.com says they need to be monitered...

A couple of my LFS have sets of clowns already hosting with anenomes. If I were to buy them already hosting together, would they continue to host in the new tank @ home? I wouldn't be making the purchase AT LEAST for another six months, but I was just wondering if anyone else had any experience...

i am starting a 55gal reef tank & added a few things yesterday. we added a xenia, two mushrooms & some polyps. they are all doing fine but i have since noticed a long, BLUE, worm like creature. he seems to be spending most his time around the mushrooms, but doesnt seem to bother them. i will...

so i sent my boyfriend to the store to pick up the live rock for the tank so we could begin cycling. i asked the store if they had uncured live rock, which they did, but the boyfriend got the cured live rock. so now we have 70 pounds of cured live rock in an uncycled tank. is this a problem? and...

so im starting a SW tank (55 gal, i havent gotten around to doin a profile, IM NEW =] ). ive got the water mixed & sand down & the salinity is correct & all the equipment i need. my question is does the type of live rock matter? or is it all just personal preference? what do you all recommend?
