I got this from a friend who took down his tank. Said it was a Goby. I'm talking about the snake like creature.

My reef tank of 75 gallons has been set up and running for about 7 years. At one time it was in great shape and beautiful with about 13 different corals. It has been moved twice. As time went on, the condition of the tank started to fall as it became increasingly more difficult to take care...

I bought an iodine test kit yesterday and got confused once I read the directions. It talked about testing for Iodide and Iodate and said that most supplements have one or the other or both while others have a different form which cannot be tested with the kit I bought. I also bought Kent...

Question - What EATS Hair Algae??? Thank you.

My tank has been cycling for about a month now. I used the fishless method by using raw shrimp to start the cycle. The ammonia climbed and is now at zero. Nitrites are also at zero but the nitrate level is still at 20 ppm and has been for several days now. Why is it still so high? Keep...

I set up my 75 gal tank recently and decided to do the cycling the tank with out the use of fish method as described in the article on this site. I used two jumbo sized shrimp which have been in the tank for about a week. I have 120lbs of aragonite sand bed and about 40 lbs base/live rock and...

I am in dire need to up grade my tank from a 29 gal to a 75gal because my tank is overstocked. I found someone selling a used tank in the area. It is a 75 gal Oceanic tank with a Trickle Filter model 75. It also comes with the stand and canopy. I don't know anything about this type of...

29gal Last night I noticed my Yellow Tang was acting strange. He seemed very hyper and was breathing fast. His swimming was very speratic. He would shoot forward quickly and stop suddenly. Also, he would shake his tail almost as if it seemed like he thought something was attached to it. I...

29 gal sw aquarium I tested my water today and have some concerns. My nitrate level is very high at 100ppm. I did a pwc about 2 weeks ago 1/3 of the water. Replaced the carbon filter cartridge, cleaned sand bed, a general routine cleaning. I have a protein skimmer thats rated for 75gal. My...

I have a 29gal sw tank with live rock. I bought a new Power Compact light with 2 65watt 10000k and acintic blue bulbs. I was wondering what may be some good corals to start with? I was thinking Yellow Fiji Leather. What do I feed corals? I know that many are filter feeding and Kent has a...

I bought a few pieces of colorful LR a few days ago and picked up several hitch hikers. One is an Emerald Crab which I'm not too concerned. I also found 2 snail like species. One blends in perfectly with the LR and can only be seen when it is moving (sorry no pic). The other one is a brown/green...

I've noticed that my yellow tang does not a have a deep rich color when compared to other yellow tangs I have seen. I'm thinking that my tang is not getting proper nutrition. I've been giving him dried seaweed pieces 3 times a week but I have recently increased this to everyday. He also gets...

Thinking about getting a protein skimmer for my 29 gallon tank. I plan to get a bigger tank in the future so I don't really want to spend too much now if I will need to get a bigger one later. I was considering either the Visi-Jet Ps 100 for tanks up to 70g or the SeaClone 100 for tanks up to...

I just bought my first piece of LR yesterday. Its a pretty nice 7 lbs piece. I would like to know what I need to do to improve my lighting. I have the original bulb that came with the tank, 20 watt 30in. I also have reason to believe that the tank gets some exposure to sunlight for a period...

I have had a 29 gal sw tank for 2 years and am wanting to add some LR. I currently have four fish: 3 perc clowns and a yellow tang. What would be the best way to add LR to this acquarium? I enentually want to add a corral beauty to the tank. Does anyone think that adding anouther fish would...
