I have another question for you guys..... Our tank has bubble algae on the live rock like crazy... is there a way to 'clean it' before putting it in the 'new' setup?

Thank you.

Hi all. My husband and I are about to change the substrate in our 29 gallon biocube. When we first set it up about 16 months ago, we thought we were being smart by using crushed coral and white sand. It seems like the newbies start out the same based on searches and then inevitably end up...

so, i got this guy about 14 months ago. he's still going strong. my problem is that I can't really put anything in there to help with the algae -- it's growing on the glass (which i can get with a glass scraper) but what about the rocks and decorations?. i had purchased a pleco with him - the...

We tested and there weren't any traces of either ammonia, nitrates or nitrites. If there were issues with the water...wouldn't it affect the other livestock, as well? We have 2 clownfish, one watchman goby and one tiger pistol shrimp...they are all ok. Thanks again!

Hi all. We have had this guy for about 6 months now. All the water parameters are good and all other livestock are acting normal - 29g biocube. The fire shrimp is barely moving and seems to have a hard time balancing. He is out in the front of the tank now, which is not like him. He stopped...

Here is the flow. Stock pump on the left, Koralia #1 on the right.

Here is the pic

So we have the original stock lights that came with the biocube...pc lighting; one is 50/50 and the other is actinic. We've had them two months and they were fine until about a week ago. We did take out the chemi-pure carbon but then put it back and it's been back about 6 days now. Here is a...

We have some acans and a hammerhead branch coral in a 29 gallon tank. All water parameters are good but the acans have shrunk up. The hammerhead is maybe one foot away from the acans. Do you think the hammerhead is poisoning the acans? Thanks for your help/advice!

OMG!! That's wicked cool! :-)

Thanks everyone! We will keep it!

Here's a pic of the one we bought still in the LFS tank. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_58UXVqh4n00/SreZ5EG13TI/AAAAAAAAADE/kekx7z5wG2w/s576/hammer-baby.JPG

It won't kill anything...it will just sting it?

Hi all. We have 2 false perculas, 1 fire red shrimp, 1 watchman goby with tiger pistol shrimp and several snails. We also have a green star polyp, a ricordea f., some zoas and just added a hammer head. What is your opinion on the hammer head....we didn't realize how poisonous this thing is...

We have 2 false perculas and have had them for awhile, 2 months or so. Last week we had a thunderstorm while we were at work and the pumps were off for about 4 hours - until we got home. Now when we turn the pumps off to feed, they get scared and go to the back of the tank and won't eat. Will...

Correct me if i'm wrong but I thought a watchman goby and pistol shrimp needed to be together to thrive.

Thanks everyone. We are still in the process of rinsing and we will let you know how it goes.

Hi everyone! My husband and I wanted to add some more sand to our 29 biocube. We have 2 false perculas, 1 fire shrimp, several cerith and astrea snails. Is there an easy way to do this? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

The thing is this would be the first time he's hidden like this. He's always in this one place hanging upside down. He molted on Monday (for the 3rd time) and he looked kind of 'spent', if you will, and we thought it was just the trauma of the molt. Then on Tuesday, in his usual spot...he just...

Hi everyone, How long do peppermint shrimp live? We had ours for 2 months and it molted 3 times. The most recent was Monday and now we think it may have died. We can't find it anywhere. All water parameters are fine. Could he have he just finished his life mission? Thanks!

Thanks again everyone. I will probably buy some extras, just in case. I just wanted to know if there was a home remedy...i try not to make extra trips to lfs if I don't have to. It's not that close to our house.

Thank you!

I have the basic green fish nets. My neons caught the tetra disease so I've been scooping them out. How do I clean or disinfect the net for future use? Thanks!

hi, anyone got ideas as to why shrimp like to hang upside down? Thanks!
