Found the store where I bought the last live rock (Fumi's fish store in LA, CA). And they have those little white critters all over the glass in the coral tank. Very small micro fine white dots that move in little spurts. They claim they are not lice, but do not know what they are called. They...

Went by my local pet store last night. They say it is definitely (I forgot the technical term) Saltwater Lice. They said probably one of the Mushroom rocks I purchased (from them) last month had some lice larva in it. And they managed to hatch and to spread unnoticed. Once I scraped the sacks...

No, that is not them. Not q-tip sponges, nor copepods. I am going to treat the tank with Kick Ick for the fish. The stuff I scraped of looks like the q-tip sponges but whiter, and imagine at the top of each sponge is a small clear white feather duster I talked to Petco in Pasadena (flagship...

My tank was fine up until this morning. Two days ago I noticed some white growths on the back wall of my tank. They looked like tiny fat pineapples. So I used my long scraper, and got them off the wall, easy enough. So this morning I wake up and my tank in infested with tiny white little...

I bough a Niger Trigger fish for my reef tank, a week ago, without knowing its characteristics. After checking the web, most places say "not reef safe." My question is; What is it safe with? I have a 50 gal. tall tank, with 2 Damsels, and one small Lion Fish. Besides one candylactus, I have...

Sorry. I goofed up the names.

Also, the photos in my gallery take place over the course of a year, so the tank look different in each shot.

Correction: I put bubble-tip by mistake (I have a bubble-tip at home). I meant to put carpet anemone. They tend to do well in low light.

That was funny. I know they can be a little inconsistent at times. But seriously, I wrote this article because I set this tank up using logical reasoning. After watching a pet store set up a 4 gal. reef tank, by plucking live rock and animals from other tanks, and setting it up in a half hour...

I figured you would hate it. But it worked. I will post photos as soon as I can get them to upload.

Just thought I would share my formula for a quick and easy mini reef tank. Many people, who want a salt-water tank for the first time, keep putting it of because of the expense, and the long set-up time. Well I have found a way that you can have a complete salt-water tank in one day. Without the...

Thanks

Thanks. No body told me to QT him. Once he is cured, and I put him back in the tank. What is to keep him from being re-infected?

I have a 50 gallon tall reef tank. The tank has been running fine for 8 months, with one damsel. I also have star fish, turbo snails, hermit crabs, mushrooms, and 4 anemones. 2 weeks ago I added the Lion Fish, and within 2 days he had ick spots. I treated the tank with reef-safe Ick cure...

At night when there is only enough light for me to see, these little critters come out and zip all around the tank. They are about the size of a tiny grain of rice. Their bodies appear to be clear, and you can see their spine. They seem to glide very quickly along the rocks and the sand. Almost...

I got a star fish for my reef tank a last week. (Photo Attached). Went to another pet store today, and they say it may be one of the toxic variety. What do you think?

I have a 30 gallon Salt Water Reef Tank w/fish. Its been cycled, and running perfect for about a month. ammonia, Nitrate, and Nitrite are fine. I have 2 Penguin Power Filters, one Penguin mini, and the other a 170, on opposite sides of the tank. I have been told that it is best to get a Protein...
