    What's this critter?

    Thanks for the replies. I thought it may have been but the picture I saw of a limpet, didn't look at all like these, there must be a varity of them, or maybe I didn't search hard enough. I'm going to search again and see what info I can find on them, mainly if they get very big? I have 2 good...

    What's this critter?

    Something is making my Leather unhappy

    My toadstool leather hasn't been opening up for a long time now! (weeks :( ) I added a powerhead a couple weeks ago and it started to open a little but hasn't ever fully extended like it use too. After tonights water change the PH is pointed right at it but the ph has a rotater so it isn't...

    Body guard 2200 power head

    I got this ph and it works great! Pumped my mixed water up about 4-5 feet into tank! And now that I figured out how to get the rotater to rotate it is in the tank and everything seems to like the extra curent.

    xenia

    I would definately be interested, BUT I have nothing good to trade and it is winter here so I probably,shouldn't try to have anything shipped until it warms up. Let me know in warmer weather, or are there cheap tricks to shipping in the winter. Thanks!

    xenia

    I agree with Hara, let us know many of us would probably glady buy your xenia, I hate to see anything have to be thrown away as trash, especially a coral that is so expensive at the lfs. $30+ in this area, and your lucky if it has 2 or more pulsing polyps. If anyone has some to get rid of please...

    POSITIONING POWERHEAD

    Well, I'm glad to hear that! I kindda think the tank seems happier with the extra current, but not sure it has only been a couple days. I have never been snorkling closest, I've been to saltwater is in my own home. Well went to florida as a child once. :) But I will see the ocean again...

    POSITIONING POWERHEAD

    Speedy reply! THanks! So It was just the water change,LOL. Going to do another tomorrow nitrates still about 10. But everything else is fine. Would carbon help remove nitrates? SO maybe I should try to face my PH more towards the front middle of the tank. My only concern is can I have to...

    unknown coral

    I sure wish I could get a better picture. I've tried but no luck so far. I'm pretty sure it is not a green star polyp. no green in it. kinnda pinkish. I'm thinking the lfs said it was a encrusting gorgian. But they weren't sure. And I haven't found any pictures of what they look like.

    The tank has been cycled for a few months. before I started keeping track all my tests, except calcium, were fine. NI 0,, thats the important 1 right? ammonia 0 too. So yo don't think the ALK is too high? I've always thought the ph was alittle low, but hadnt messed with it. I use instant ocean...

    Anemone sting coral??

    Thanks for the replies. I'm gglad I moved my coral then. The condy doesn't move far. He stays on 1 rock but moves around on it. I hope he stays on that big rock and doesn't go after my corals. Since I moved the toadstool it Hasn't moved anymore, maybe it was just adjusting to the right spot on...

    hole in feather dusters tube

    Hello, Today I noticed a hole about 1 1/2inches from the top where the FD comes out. It was there before. THe FD is still in there, but not coming out as much as usual. Should I pinch off from the hole up, so it can get out of the tube easier? And any ideas what could have caused the hole...

    Star-fish

    This picture is the closest to looking like the star the lfs has but the stores is only about 2 inches. It is called a formia on this picture, I got from live aquaria. I've read that some crab will eat slow moving stars. Can this type star keep from being attacked by my hermits and anemones if...

    Star-fish

    Hummm,, I guess I thought wrong! I love the blue stars but ruled them out because I heard they were really hard to keep (but I read in several post that many do have success). I'm after a good cleaner for my LR. My sand sifter, stay right on or under the sand, always! I was fascinated by the...

    Star-fish
