Number 1: Weird, thin reddish algae like substance that "leaks" bubbles every now and again. Number 2: Bright GREEN Algae growing on rocks. Number 3: Some weird kind of "vine" Tank parameters are all within decent ranges. 0 Nitrite 20 Nitrate PH 7.9 - 8.0 Temp: 77F

There's actually about 12 of them now... each one about the size of a pencil eraser. ;-) Thanks, D

Ok.. Basically.. after a long hiatus from SW aquariums, due to moving all over the country and back.. .I am back in the hobby.. We still have our one, original purchase.. a Green BrittleStar. He's around 11" along his longest point when spread out.. Now.. let the questions start. 1: He's...

What are these? I never see feather worms or anything in them.. so I am not 100% sure what they are. Many Thanks.

Well, to make a long story short, our GSP Went jumping while the tank was being moved.... Had the tank setup, had the water back in it, had all the rock work redone... Last step, add the one, lone fish we've had for a long time. Alas, sometime between when I put him in the tank, and got all...

What the heck is this thing?

Here's a sequence of shots of one of my featherdusters opening. ;-) Took about 5 seconds, or so. http://gallery.nea-online.net/NewAquarium

I have a rather large Colt Coral.. It is absolutly beautiful. I would like to get it spread out a bit, in other places in my tank. Is there a suggested method of making cuttings? Or can that even be done with this coral? From what I know, they are pretty hardy, but this is one of only 3 types...

I'd gladly pay shipping. ;-) Don't have much in the way of trade, or any such, but i'd be happy to reimburse a little for it.

No idea what these are either. Thought it was just alge as one point, but then my wife pointed out that they open and close with the day / night cycle. Full sized image can be seen here: http://gallery.nea-online.net/55Gal/IMG_3145?full=1

I have a pic, but it's still on my camera at home. I'll describe it as best as I can. It looks like a VERY VERY small starfish, with just little nubs for legs. Total diameter, about the same as a pencil eraser. Color: Whitish, with pink, and a spattering of blue on the "top" of it. I've not...

Quesstion being, where can I get one? Looked at Lowes lastnight, the only ones they had were galvanized.. Not so good for saltwater. Maybe Home Depot? I've not tried them yet. Many Thanks. Dave

Never EVER EVER use a steak knife to cut clear tubing. Or it you DO, cut away from your hand / fingers. Never towards. The following link will take you to an image of MY thumb, right after being stitched. Nothing worse that what you would see on TV's CSI or 24, but none the less, it's a bit...

Ok. We have a Green Spotted Puffer, who's been SW since we got him, about 9 months ago. Simple question. We are going full on Reef.. IS he reef safe, or not? I have heard not. But then again, I have also heard that my Snowflake was not reef safe either (But have read that they are), so who...

Local Delivery / Pickup (I'll deliver pretty much anywhere in Arkansas, as I am in the middle of the state, and no part of it is more than 2 hours away) 29 Gallon SW Tank, DIY Stand, glass top, standard powerfilter (No bio-wheel), strip flourscent, and DIY top. Asking $150. Selling from zip...

As you can see, on the top of the tank, there's the Common Cold Virus on the Right, and Mono Kissing Disease on the Left. Here's a shot from fruther back... Filled out the living room quite nicely.

Ok, bit of confusion here. I've heard go with a deep sand bed (4" plus). I've heard do NOT go any deeper than 2 1/2" Whats the deal? Setting up a spare 55G for SW / Reef. What's the story on depth of the sand bed? I'll be using sugar grain sized Agronite sand mixed 50/50 with Fiji Pink (just...

Not sure if I have had this one ID'd before or not, but there are a few new things I'd like to know about.. ;-) 1: 2: And finally, 3: Mind you, #'s 2 and 3 are sideways (Didn't rotate images before uploading.) My main question, aside form their ID, is... #3 is REAL close to...

This is Bastet. He likes to try and 'scratch' his way through the glass (He's NOT declawed) Number 1 Reason for not getting an acrylic tank. ;-)

Didn't know what the hell she was talking about, till I got home. Was no where NEAR this size when I got the LiveRock that it's attached to. What is it? Thanks D

Ok.. My wife and I have wanted a corner tank for quite some time now.. The advantage I see a corner having over a wall is same amount of water, less space (not withstanding it sticking out into the room a bit fruther, but we can live with that). I was thinking going DIY on this, mostly for...

One major thing.. I am weary of adding any chemicals to my tank, given my propensity to screw simple things up.. ;-/ WHAT else could i use to get rid of some Aiptasia? Keeping mind, something that will eat Aiptasia, but not get eaten by a Snowflake or Green spoted puffer? LFS Said that the...

For instance. These 3 things... This, we saw for the 1st time, sort of, tonight. We have seen in many times, but thought it was a fossilized part of the rock... Till it moved. Then, there's this thing. It was small, but keeps getting bigger and bigger. Now, I think there are a total of 3...

Could you not use a waterbed heater under the bottom of your main tank, with the temperature probe in your sump, etc, for temperature control? I am think that having a heater that takes up the majority of the bottom area of the tank (Granted, UNDER the glass, not IN the tank) would provide more...

Ok, I am curious. How close to naturally made saltwater can we get?? Say I had a 30 gallon tank, and i wanted to fill it with 'as close to the real thing' as humanly possible, without making an 8 hour drive to any body of 'real' saltwater? Livestock aside, filtration aside, decorations aside...
