    Millepora?

    I grabbed this frag from my LFS yesterday. The guy working there said he didn't know what it was but it came in on a big dead colony so they fragged what looked alive. I took it to see what I could do with it. It looks like millepora to me. There is some polyp extension. Thoughts? I'm not too...

    Macro algae nuisance

    This macro found its way to my DT. I've been trying to remove it myself but I never get it all. It's popping up in other places and it's becoming annoying. Wondering of anything eats it or theres another way to get rid of it.

    Frankenfish

    24 hrs after carpet surfing and being stepped on by my daughter...IT'S ALIVE!!! I was just about to leave when my daughter screamed and I saw my flasher wrasse lying on the floor. Picked him up dusted him off and back in he went. He sank to the bottom and didn't move. I was late for work and...

    Bubble algae?

    Have what I think might be bubble algae growing on a piece of lr. It's hard to the touch and doesn't retract or move if I touch or poke it. There's more that looks somewhat similar to the pic except its not "inflated" like this. It sits flat hugging the lr. Also hard to the touch and doesn't...

    New aglae?

    So I've had these two different types of algae growing for a little while now. Don't seem to be hurting anything yet. Wondering if the look familiar to anyone. Thanks.

    Live rock ranch

    Anybody buy rocks from this place? I'm looking to pick up some of their dry rock but would like some opinions on it before I do. At about $2 a pound and free shipping I can't touch the price anywhere else. Have a few days before I'm going to go for it so just thought I'd ask first. Thanks.

    Some kind of nem?

    So I bought a piece of LR that had zoas on it. This was deep in a hole in the rock, and I couldn't get a pic of it. Nows its moved out making me think its some kind of nem. Any ideas?

    lighting limitations..

    I'm wondering what my limitations would be with a 6bulb t5 ho system on a 75 gallon, approx 22" high I think. I was considering LED's but I'm going to hold off for now. Lighting isn't my strong point, though I'm thinking sps set higher in the tank would be fine? Thanks for any expert lighting...

    aquaufo 90watt LED's..

    Has anyone used this lighting system? Is it as good as it claims to be? I have only found 1 or 2 reviews on it and they had nothing but good things to say about it. I'm thinking of upgrading to led's and these fixtures have a reasonable price tag, if they're any good. My LFS also has ecoray...

    Thinking about LED's..

    Soo I've been thinking about what lights I'll get when I upgrade. I'm thinking about going the LED route. They are however my weak area and would like to know what someone who knows about them thought. My LFS has a few fixtures. They have the ecoray 112 and the aquaufo( I believe 90watts?). Both...

    Something on turbo's shell..

    So I've seen these things before, curious if anyone knows exactly what it is. Is it just snail poop, snail eggs, alien pods lol. Thanks for any input.

    RO unit arrived broken..

    So I'm sure I'm not the first to have a RO unit shipped just to open the box and find its broken. So my question is should I even bother trying to fix it or just send it back. The obvious answer to me is send it back, but if someone has had this issue and fixed it without any problems I wouldn't...

    No power, no backup...

    So like many others my power is out and I have no backup. I've been trying like mad to find a power inverter or anything to get atleast my heater and pump going but 2 days of searching has got me nowhere. Most all of my livestock is at my LFS until my power comes back. My question is, will my...

    Tiny Turbos?

    So among other mysterious creatures I've recently noticed tiny snails. They're white, almost clear and SMALL. The shape of the shell is similar to my turbo snails but only a fraction of their size. I found these 2 in the sponge after the fuge. They appear to have a similar foot and mouth of the...

    Emerald crab turned lumberjack??

    So one of my emerald crabs has made a habit of climbing up my kenya tree. He doesn't seem to be picking at it, but the kenya tree doesn't appear to enjoy its presence. Should I just move the kenya tree ? Why would it do this ? Sorry for the poor pic quality, I used my phone and had to use a...

    Theres a slug in my fuge!!

    Title says it all. Bought a kenya tree frag a while ago and noticed a slug on it. Well he's found his way to the fuge, and this is the first I've seen him since I added the kenya tree. Should I put it in the DT or keep it in the fuge ? Any ideas. It appears to be eating the algae off the fuge...

    125 gal salvageable??

    So I have a 125 sitting in my dads barn. Decided to take a closer look today while I was there to get this project rolling. Its an OLD o'dell tank and as you can see in the pics the frame?(not sure if that's what its called) is cracked, falling off, and all in all useless. I cannot afford a new...

    Snail eggs

    So my question today is, will these snail eggs hatch and survive?, and is there anything I can do to help their survival? I've had many of these batches of eggs over the approx year and a half the tank had been running. I've seen the aftermath with the sacks opened and nothing left inside, but...

    Possibly some type of filter feeder ????

    They are a pinkish, purpleish color, have tube-like base and their tentacles seem more rigid than say an aptasia. They withdraw themselves fully when the lights go out. There is a small colony of them, not sure what they are but they haven't hurt anything yet. Thanks for any input.

    What is this??

    Small "tube" like things growing from live rock and even the back of power heads. They don't seem to prefer certain lighting or flow.They also don't seem to be doing any harm, just curious if anyone knows what they might be. Thanks for any input. Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-20 Ph-8.2 Temp-82
