Thanks for the website :) . My crab is the hairy one on page 2 of the rock surfaces page.

Well, I have finally found out what was attacking my finger leather!!! A CRAB!!!!! :evil: Tonight about an hour after the lights went of in my tank, I peeped in to find a hairy looking crab about the size of my emerald crab wrapped around one of the 2 remaining tentacles on my finger...

The guy at the lfs says that I would see a white spot if there was a disease? He claims leathers shed themselves like this from time to time? Now, I don't buy this-at least not with my leather--but have you heard of leathers shedding fingers like this before. I can't find the fingers anywhere...

I'm at work right now so I can't send a picture until this evening. BTW, what is necrosis? :?:

Long tentacle leather polyp Starburst polyp (has opened in days) Open Brain (in the sandbed in about 3-5 inches away)

This leather has good days and bad days. A few weeks ago, I notice one of the fingers were gone. Then I found a bristleworm in the sandbed by it. I still haven't been able to catch the _____. From last wednesday until Sunday night, it did well: good extensions and readily showing tentacles...

How much and how often should Gauge add Iodine?

It is a off white-cream color.

Recently, I've discovered these small egg looking objects in my sump and overflow box. So far, I've counted 3. They have little hair-looking things coming out of the pointy end. Any idea what this could be? Could this be some kind of 'pod' ? :?:

Leather corals

Well, I wish I could know if the cleaner shrimp is getting enough to eat. Today he's been the most visible sicce I put him in the tank but I can tell if he is eating or not. I added brine shrimp to my tank and the clowns had a ball! The shrimp dance around like he was trying to get food but...

Thanks for the offer but I ended up getting 2 ocellarius(sp.) clowns and 1 cleaner shrimp from my LFS. The clowns are doing wonderful. The cleaner scared me half to death today! My husband thought it was dead until he realized it molted and was doing fine upside down under my LR! Other than...

Thanks a lot for your responses. I'll only add 2 percula clowns.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply, Steve. I was going to add the 5 peppermint shrimp because I heard they like to be in groups. Do you think I should only add 1 or 2? Also, I have these very tiny feather duster looking things on my LR--about 6 of them. I am a little concerned that they...

My cylce is finally complete (7/28) and I'm ready to add fish. I did a water change 3 days ago and added to my 75 gallon 10 blue leg hermits 2 scarlett hermits 6 turbo snails I would like to add the following fish this weekend 2 percula clowns 1 royal grammas 5 peppermint shrimp ...

Thanks. I have a black screw valve on the venturi line. When I have it wide open, it increase the water level about 1-2 inches shy of the minimum water level line. Now, I noticed that when I restricted the flow from the exit tube of the skimmer with my hand, the water level increased to the...

I have an Aqua Clear protein skimmer that I just started a couple of days ago. For some reason, the water level will not reach the minimum water level of the skimmer. I see lots of foam and even trashy stuff in it at the surface. However, the trash is not reaching the collection cup. I've...

Thanks for the response. I'll definitely look into the phosphate sponge. Any brand recommendations? The Kh is read in dKh units. The nitrite increments are 0, 0.05, .1, .2, .5, 1, 2-10. I have Red Sea test kits for ammonia and nitrite. Hagen for pH. Salifert for everything else. Should...

Well, this is my tank is in the 5th week of the cycle. My tank is: 75 gallon 75 lbs Figi LR LS mixed with dead 1 power head (will add a second today) Wet/Dry filter My readings are: SG=1.023 temp=81 F NH3=0 NO2=.05 NO3=25 pH=8.2 KH=13.3 Alkalinity=4.74 meq/L PO4=2 I have not connected my...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, the rubber endcaps were more expensive. I don't want to have to replace all 4 pairs of endcaps every time I change my bulb, though. I'm glad you mentioned this.

It is now time to add lighting to my aquarium. I'm trying to decide which endcaps to use. I have an Icecap 660 and will use 4 bulbs. So far, I've seen the waterproof 3 piece German endcaps and the Coralife rubber endcaps. I was told by the LFS that the Coralife rubber endcaps will do fine in...

So is it possible to have algae without lights?

I have something similar in my tank. It is mostly on the sand close to my live rock. My tank is in the 3rd week of cylcing and I am not running my lights at all as directed by my LFS. Is it even possible for me to have algae without a lighting? I thought they were diatoms (or is red slime...

Thanks for your comments. I'll check the respective websites for these units.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good brand of RO/DI unit. My tank is in the 3rd week of cycling so I'm looking to purchase a RO/DI unit to prepare for my first water change (hopefully in another 7-10 days. :)
