Some of you may know who Charlie (lowcoaster) is. I got this email from him today: Hi Everyone, This is just a note to say goodbye----the economy and several customs seizures due to parasites have put me out of business---I have sold my tanks and am moving on. Thanks for all your...

Not actually aquaria I know... You may need a towel! New to the Site, Diving in the Red Sea - Reef 2 Reef

I have this duster that is attached to the middle of a rock. I would like to relocate him, but there seems to be a fleshy attachment that is quite interwoven in this porous rock. Have any of you tried this? Any idea if it will cause damage to the duster if I just try to scrape it's "foot" off of...

I have some kind of goby. It was a freebie but I don't know exactly what kind it is. I notice that it bumps into the walls and corals a lot. Food sometimes floats right past it before it notices. Tonight as I fed mysis the goby darted out and grabbed a mouth full of rock anemone. That had to be...

I'm finding that I enjoy the building and developing process at least as much or maybe even more than just looking at the tank, so I thought I would start another build thread and see where it goes. So after playing with my 29 gallon reef for a little over a year, I decided to move up a bit...

Who am I?

I have a mushroom leather that is on a rock in a qt tank. I do not want to put this rock in my tank because of other things that are growing on the rock. Do any of you know if there is a way of removing or persuading this leather off of the current rock?

When I got home late last night I checked on my frag tank. Everything looked normal. I come home today from work and almost all of the SPS corals have massive white sections. It's as if the tissue has just disappeared! All water parameters, temperature, and salinity seem to at typical levels...

I stumbled across this collection of SeaScope articles by accident. They are full of interesting reading and seem to shed some light on topics we often see discussed here. The most current one offers some insight on the much talked about Deep Sand Bed Enjoy

I'm attempting to get a few of my planted tanks back to a ratio where there is more water than plants. The first thing I have to do is get rid of some anubius. I have no idea what type it is but it's on the larger side. This was first given to me from an AA member a couple of years ago. There...

I have spent some time looking for any information/threads on this algae that seems to have made a permanent home in my fuge. So far I have been ubable to id it or find a cause for it. I'm hitting a few boards to see what I can learn... Any thoughts?

I have enjoyed using AA for about a year now. Over the past few months the site has become almost unusable for me. You all know the issues.... I would like to suggest that if the admins can't figure the problem out, they should consider seeking help. I think that there are enough contributors to...

OK, I think I'm ready to get started with my reef tank. For the last two months or so I have been reading and asking questions. It feels like every answer just creates two more questions but in spite of that it's just time to start. For better or worse, this will serve as a log of how things...

I'm in the first stages of starting a 29 gallon reef tank with a 20 gallon sump. My LR is to arrive next week and I'm in the process of mixing SW to cure the rock in. After mixing Reef Crystals in a Rubbermaid tub with a power head/venturi for aeration and a heater I find that the water is...

I have noticed that some of my more mature female cherry shrimp have a pronounced white stripe on their back that runs from head to tail. Has anybody had this occur?

I have a 10 gallon tank with red cherry shrimp. There is also a herd of MTS as well as a hand full of spixi snails too. I have been wanting to rid that tank of the MTS and was wondering if a yoyo will eat MTS? Also, will a loach eat my shrimp? I can round up the spixi snails easy enough and...

I have an old well in my house that I really do not use since I converted to city water a year ago. I got the idea to run some tests on the water today and see what it looked like, here are my results: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 dKH - 35! dGH - 46!! pH - 6.7 One problem that I can see...

Can anybody identify this plant?

Have you ever looked under your tank? I thought it was a pretty cool looking pic.

Have any of you had any luck with a trap for catching cherry shrimp? I have quite a number of shrimp that I want to remove from a tank and would like to avoid chasing them around with a net.

I have two nice bunches of this. I'm always looking for the unusual or odd plant, still looking for some christmas moss too if you are looking for a trade. If not, then just pay for shipping.

This confirms it, I talk too much.

I have 3-4 healthy bunches of L. Repens 2 nice sized bunches of Myriophyllum matogrossense "Green" You pay shipping and I send plants. Hurry, their heads are on the chopping block!

I'm looking for christmas moss. Willing to buy, or trade. Please PM me if you are interested. Thank You.

Got a new 3-way and added the original counter to make it a 4 way. Look out plants!
