    Snails?

    Does anybody know of a way to tell the difference between a collonista snail and a sundial snail? I have been staring at the on-line photos and comparing them to the snails I am pulling from my tank. I can't determine which they are.

    Non-profit reef org

    Anybody know of a reputable non-profit reef preservation group? I can find several with online searches. I am just wondering if anyone has experience with any of them.

    PWC / Temp range

    I have had a 30g FOWLR going since Sept--all is going great thanks to the info & advice I have found on this site. I actually paid attention to the temperature during my last PWC. It went from 77.4 at the start to 72.2 when I was done. I am sure the PWC process puts some stress on the...

    Bizarre tadpole like things?

    There other day when I turn on the lights what appeared to be 6-10 flesh colored tadpole type things dropped from the surface. They were maybe a 1/8 to 1/4 inch, round, with little tenticles/flippers/tails. The cylindricus and lelupi ate them all in about a minute. I addition to the...

    Feather duster or COLONIAL HYDROIDS

    Do colonial hydroids retract like feather dusters? I have a small group of something growing. They look more like the pictures of hydroids I find on searches, but retract into the tubes like feature dusters. No photo - I can't zoom on them with any success.

    Too much current

    I just put in my first fish last week - a small green chromis. 30g, 45lbs lr, w/ hydor 2, protein skimmer and penguin mini. Fish looks healthy, is eating, and the watering readings are all fine. The poor thing looks like it is going to die from exhaustion swimming against the current when it...

    Time for a cleaner crew?

    Sorry, I hit the post before I finished. These readings were pre-pwc. I am going to change approx 20% and take a reading tomorrow. Stuff is growing everywhere. I have see 2 bristleworms and some other multi-leg thing i am trying ID from the link on here. So far so good, I hope.

    Time for a cleaner crew?

    Ammonia was 0, or at least pretty close as best i can tell with the color. Nitrites were somewhere between .25 and .5.

    Time for a cleaner crew?

    30g w/ 45# of live rock. I got the rock from an established tank 5 days ago. There is coraline everywhere, some puffy flowing algae and all sort of creppy crawlies moving around. Ammonia held around .25 for a few days and is down a little. I threw a raw shrimp in when I put the rock it and...

    Next Steps - 30gallon start up

    Rock is coming from somebody near by that is tearing down their tanks and selling the rock. It is still in their tank and fully established. It will be about a 20 minute transit time.

    Next Steps - 30gallon start up

    Tank is full. Readings are all zero and sg looks good. I have the following equipment hooked up: AquaC Remora 800, Hydor 600, heater. I also have a Fluval cannister filter available, but would that be overkill on a 30g? I am hoping to pick up some live rock next week, if the person selling...

    Tank Suggestions

    Next steps... OK. Time for the next questions. I have cleaned the tank, rinsed/dried the sand, and replaced the sand. I have the salt water mixed and sitting in a big tub. I am going to add the water into the tank tomorrow. I found an add for somebody very close by selling their live rock...

    Tank Suggestions

    Thanks for the feedback. I am going to start working on the 30g this weekend. Although, it is tough to take the advice of that cowboy helmet--I grew up in Pittsburgh.

    Tank Suggestions

    I am new here. I would like to get back to saltwater. Currently I have 180g with tang cichlids, 75g fresh, 30g (was brackish, but puffer just died), and 10g empty. Given that the 30g is now available I was looking for opinion on starting this as FOWLR tank? Due to some remodelling at home...
