Is there a way to remove a very light scratch from an acrylic tank?

Ok, so I had about 20 baby malawian cichlids, all really nice, very healthy, i didnt lose any for a month. The other day, we were feeding them as we usually do with spirulina, and they all had seizures, crashed into the sides of the tank, then sank to the bottom, then slowly came back to. Some...

has anyone ever bred plecos? if so what are the paramaters needed to do so? I was talking to a friend of mine, and he asked me about it, and I had absolutely no idea. Now I am curious.

As everyone who read my post about the 125 knows i purchased a fairly decent used 125 gallon aquarium. It had a tiny leak in it, so, I resiliconed it and found that I had fixed the wrong place, so I figured, what the heck, I'll just redo the entire front of the tank. So I stripped it clean of...

Does anyone know where I can order apistogrammas online for a decent price? I finally figured out what to do with my new 125.

does anyone have any MTS they are willing to part with? i could really use some!

Hey everyone! I'm getting myself another 125 gallon tank, but the thing is, its going to be in my basement living room, which means a low tempurature. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to some cold water fish, besides koi and goldfish, that could tolerate a temp around the low 60's...

Well, I have a friend who was going to sell me a 125 gallon tank. about a week ago, he called me about a 150 gallon tank. Naturally, I was interested, so I called the person who was selling it and asked to see it. When I did see it I was amazed! The amount of stuff I got is incredible. I Got: 6...

hi all! im looking into getting a 90 gallon for my oscar. would he be compatable with a silver arowana?

i put my hand in my tank with some tweesers to find out what this weird looking thing was, turns out, its a tiny hermit crab! in a shell! im totally stoked! not only that, but i left my hand in the tank, and my neon blenny came over and was swimming all over it and picking at it. if youve got a...

i finally got my other camera working!! anyways, here are a few pictures. my favorite rock so far damsel and the goby full tank shot, nice and lopsided fishies!

I just saw a fireworm in my tank. Doesnt look like ill be putting corals in there. :( http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/photocontests/l/blpicinvkekilfw.htm

So I read that they are supposed to be pretty peaceful, and I have one in my tank. The thing is, I just watched him face off with my goby, and attack a neon blenny. I really don't want any fights between my fish!

So, I just bought myself a cute little bi-colored blenny. The guy (who is a pretty awesome dude) couldn't get him out of the peice of rock in the display, so I got the chunk of rock and the blenny for the price of just the blenny. The problem now, however, is getting the blenny OUT of the rock...

about half an hour ago i smelled my tank water (i like how it smells, what can i say!) and i smelled the most peculiar smell; Wet Dog. I immediately did my chemical tests and found my ammonia to be at .25, my ph 7.9 and my nitrates at 10. Finding these, I immediately did a partial water change...

My mushroom coral looks quite strange. When i first got it, it looked great. Now, the base and the top are almost always the same size. I've read up and ive been putting phytoplankton into the tank, been doing my PWC, and it is near the bottom of the tank, with a power head blowing a little near...

Hey all, I was just curious if anyone knew of a website that would list corals and a description of them? I've been looking at pictures and reading about them and i want to find a site that has all the information in a nicely organized area. Thanks!

so far ive found one snail and one hermit crab totally ripped to peices! I think its my emerald crab cause hes the only thing besides a goby and a damsel in the tank. any ideas about the crab?

Out of curiosity, how much salt per gallon should I be putting in?

does anyone have any experience with these? I went and turned my light on this morning and found lobSTAR dead. no reasons for him being dead, every test checked out fine. I'm slightly perturbed. :x

a little while ago i was told that the purple mushroom in my tank was mushroom coral. its doing nicely! and now there are little sprouts all over the rock that it is on. im pretty excited. I also saw a tiny clam at my lfs, and they gave it to me for free. so now i have a little clam floating around!

alright, ive a few things im wicked curious about. one is a purple flower like thing that, at night closes up into a little tube, but in the light, opens up and looks just like a round flower. its pretty neat. the next thing is a white/gray half sphere with little tendrils all over it. The next...

Hi again everyone. I just had (another) question about something. I read today that mangroves are good for nitrate reduction and as they grow will render your protien skimmer obsolete. Does anyone have any experience with mangroves? Are they hard to take care of? im very new at this whole SW...

hi everyone! Im kinda curious about these little wormy like bugs all over my live rock. theyre pretty small, maybe no more than a quarter of an inch, they have a bunch of little legs and are light gray or white and move very fast. Can anyone tell me what they are? Thanks!

hi all, im curious as to what i should do about chloromines in the water, as the area i live in just changed to them from chlorine. I have stress coat/water conditioner which obliterates all that nasty stuff, and i know theres something called pulse for salt water tanks, but, would it hurt my...
