Yeah I did a little research on fantasy reef and found out that they will feed on sleeping fish and like you said especially if they are on the bottom of the tank. I am thinking that I may have to get rid of it.

I mean a Brittle star. Im sorry I don't know what I was thinking about.

Hello all, I have a quick question about Serpent Starfish. I recently purchasd a pair of twnspotted Gobies. They were a little shy at first but then really came around and were cleaning the tank and playing around with each other. After a few days I was looking in the tank but I could only...

I ordered a Koralia one and should hopefully get it middle of next week. I definately think that I have a lack of water movement.

I have another quick question. Right now my aquarium does not have a powerhead in it. The only circulation in the tank is being provided by a hang on back filter and a hang on back protein skimmer. Would not having enough flow in the tank create a better opportunity for algae to grow? Thanks for...

I have been searching through numerous articles on the war on algae. I have had a problem with algae for a while now. It seems like I take two steps forward and five back. So I ended up following the advice of the fantasy reef article and I think I have it under control for the most part but I...

I recently just bought a new Sea Hare for my tank. Worked really well to get rid of some of the green hair algae. Last night it appeared that my nassarius snails were attacking him. I woke up this morning and looked into the tank and the hare was not moving and all scrunched up. he has what...

I am going to try and follow that checklist, thanks melosu. I think one of my biggest problems is my lighting. I do water changes once a week and feed once a day. My parameters are very good, don't have specifics by me. I have a 150watt metal halide for a twenty nine gallon tank. I think I need...

I have another question. I am looking to take care of some nusiance algae that I have tried scrubbing and getting rid of. I saw something called algae magic at my lfs and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this product or any product related to it? I am trying to find out if anyone...

So I just upgraded to a 29 gal and transfered everything without any problems :D . Now I need to add more live rock. I am looking for any suggestions on adding new live rock to an already established tank. Is this a dumb idea? Do I add small amounts at a time? Or do I add everything I need all...

Now one of the workers at my LFS told me that I should do basically a quick water change. He is the guy that I would trust the least there. But anyway, would you suggest using the water from my old tank? Thanks

Hello, So I went out and bought a new tank. Not beig quite ready to dive into getting a sump and that whole thing I went with a 29 gallon. A nice little upgrade from my twenty. I am now at the point where I want to getit set up and move everything over. I am looking for any advice or articles...

I am trying to get a bigger tank and I need some info. Right now I have a 20 gal. I have found a couple good deals on the internet for a 30 and a 37. Right now I have a hang on back skimmer and a 125 watt metal halide, that causes a lot of algae to grow by the way. Will these be good enough for...

Thanks for the great feedback. What I should have said about my light is that the bulb is only a month old. I have had the light as long as I have had the tank which has been about a year and a half. I do use frozen food so I will start rinsin before I feed. I will also inquire about the water...

I had my water tested at my LFS and I don't have them with me but I know everything there was good. I do use RO water from my LFS. My light is about a month old and I do PWC's once a week. Oh yeah and I feed once a day now.

So I have had a real problem with green hair algae growing in my tank. So I talked with the owner of my LFS and told him I had a 150 watt jbj k-2 viper over my 20gal tank. I also have my lights run from 8am to 8pm. So we came to the conclusion that the algae problem was probably from my lights...

The lights I have are brand new. I do have a metal halide 150 watt setup. I will get the specific water chemistry soon. I have about 8-10 crabs, 1 coral banded shrimp, 2 emerald crabs, 10 nassarius snails, 1 brittle sea star, down to about 5 assorted snails due to theire suicidal tendancy :roll: .

My tank has been setup for over a year now. I have had a problem with it for a coule of months now. It continues to grow in the same spots even after I brush it all off. Off he top of my head I don't know my exact water parameters but I did just have it tested and the numbers were all very good...

I have had a small problem with green hair algae. I have brushed and scraped it off of my rocks and it continues to return. I was wondering if there is a way to completely get rid of it or is there an animal out there that you have had good experience with getting rid of it. Thanks

Anything I can do about the temp or will it be ok until we can get a generator up and running?

yeah I know. We are working on that right now. My power has been out since 3pm yesterday. We are working on getting one installed soon once we find one. I just wanted to know if the tank will last 24-48 hours without anything running?

I have 175 gallon reef tank with 16 assorted fish. How long can they last if there is a power outage. I live in the midwest and they are saying our power may be out for days and I am worried that my fish are going to die. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the blue spotted puffer. If so what did you think and would you reccomend them for a reef tank. Thanks

Do you guys change your timers to go along with daylight savings?

Ell it took about a week but the clown finally went in. Now the question is will he ever come out :). Even when we feed he comes out just to grab a piece of food in his mouth and then he is right back in it. It is about time though.
