How do I get rid of the red slime. It seams to carpet over all my rocks. I have cleaned off the "gunk" but it grows back at double the rate. I have limited the lighting but this red carpet grows and grows and grows. What do I do? FYI - the algae magic doesn't seem to work either. lots of...

Hello Everyone, I recently brought home a new fish from the LFS. As you would expect, everything seemed fine. All fish took to the new comer and no real territorial problems or interaction. ALL WATER LEVELS perfect. Within one week I lost 90% of my stock. No spots on any fish. I have...

I turned the lights on in the room where we keep our 8 Gal bio Cube. Under a small piece of live rock on top of the white sand I saw what looked to be either the tail and head of one worm or two worm looking worms. They or it is brown/maroon in color. Kinda like a worm with open head lots of...

Hey All, I did my weekly water change and my used to be crystal clear water is now cloudy, white and filmy, looking. My levels are perfect, ammonia in 0 (zero) too. Can anyone give a perspective? Also, one of my very large snails has turned on to its side. Not sure if it is dead. I am...

Hey Everyone, I was at the LFS yesterday. Looking to add some coral to my tank. I was told that frogspawn might die if a clown takes a liking to it. I was also told that I would be looking at spending over $150.00 in maintaining my $20.00 coral. Is this a standard expectation?

My Gobby has moved all the sand over the hole under the live rock I have provided. It is inside the hole that it has covered. Is this a typical behavior pattern for this fish? It is a white Goby. All white with a black dot on the fin. I would take another look to see other markings...

Hey All, I had to return my skunk cleaner as I caught it stalking my little clown on many occasions in the evening. I over fed the tank with some frozen food which kept the shrimp busy and most of all, away from the little clown. The clown is 1/3 the size of the shrimp. At the LFS, my Wife...

Hey All, So I caved and headed to the LFS and pickup up an 1"1/4 clown along with a skunk shrimp. Unfortunately one of my snails has gone missing. Not the shell, but the snail inside. Since the removal of the empty shell my hermit crabs have been much more active as well. Two of them were...
