There are some very odd creature out there, but this thing is out of this world!

So I purchased some candy apple zoanthids a few weeks ago, and they opened up great and look incredible. However, recently a clump detached and was moving around by the current until it got stuck in between a couple of rocks. It's been there for two days now, and they still open and look great...

I order them and they came in today. How do they look?

I have a 2.5 gallon and my lighting system (coralife aqualight) fried today. My corals are coming tomorrow. I have other lights for backup, but for the future I want new ones, and I'm wondering if LEDs would work. The ones I'm looking at are 12", 200 lumens, 33 LEDs. Beamworks single bright...

I had a mini brittle star die a week ago and suddenly all of these things pop up. They look like baby mini brittle stars, but could they be hydroid jellyfish?

All parameters are good, and the tank has gone through all of its stages. I've had a snail in there for almost a week and he's been eating up the diatoms. The tank has been setup for over 3 weeks. Since everything is fine, could I get coral this weekend?

I setup my nano reef a couple of weeks ago, and I currently run 2 6watt t5's. its a 2.5 gallon tank, and the sand is covered in redish-brown algae. The lights were running 10 hrs. a day, and because of this, I moved them back to 8 hrs. a day. What else could be an issue? How many hours a day...

Is bottled water the same thing? I have a 2.5 gallon nano reef and was wondering if bottled water would work instead of buying ro/di water.

I have a 6 watt actinic and a 6 watt 10k over my 2.5 gallon. The coral will be approx. half way up the tank. The lighting is t5 flouresant coralife aqualight. The corals I'm thinking of are some zoanthids, shrooms, and maybe xenia. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ok, so I setup my 2.5g nano about a week ago, and tonight I turned on the lights after the tank had been dark for a while and found a mini brittle star, an amphipod and some other little organisms. Does this means that my tank can support other sea critters like coral and inverts?

What kind of fish could I possibly do with a 2.5G if I keep up with water changes? If it outgrows, I can give it to a friend with a 20G. Also, I tested my ammonia, which was at .25 ppm. Is this normal for a tank that was setup for only 1 day? How long will this take to go down, and are there any...

When changing a filter cartridge on an HOB filter, should I just remove the cartridge, put then new one in, and start it up again, or will that release some of the particles that were trapped by the previous cartridge?

Ok, so I'm new to saltwater aquariums and I have decided to start out small with a 2.5 gallon nano reef. I have a 55 gallon with African cichlids, but I wanted to see how a marine setup would be. I purchased 5 lbs of Carib sea, a 10 gallon filter (HOB), and some sea salt. I also have some test...

Ok, so I got some splotchy cichlids, and the cichlids I have had in the tank are shimmering for them. My bumblebee follows the yellow with black splotches one, not chase it, just follows it and shimmers in front of it. Then my blue acei does the same for the light blue one with splotches. They...

This electric blue cichlid has been hiding up in the corner and his fins look tethered. Also, his scales appear to be ripped or messed with. All of the other fish are fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I've had cichlids for a while. Haven't done anything different. Then come home from school and boom, this guy is dying. He just I flushed him because they were eating him alive and he was missing an eye so I knew he was done. But I want to know if it's a disease that I need to treat, and...

IT was thriving and growing well and there was much of it. Then one day it stopped growing and over a matter of weeks they were dead. I actually don't know if they died, because they didn't turn brown, they just looked kind of faded. No ferts or co2. Lighting was 2-15 watt over 55 gallon tank...

My tank has about .6 watts per gallon, and if I want to grow plants, could I just attach them to driftwood only a few inches from the top to increase PUR? basically will it help make the plant grow? Thanks

I have 8 African cichlids in my 55 and I was wondering if they can breed with each other even though they are different colors? Ex: blue cobalt and blue acei Thanks

Can I grow anything in a 55 gallon with 2-15 watt floramax bulbs? Right now I have a java fern, and Hygrophila kompakt. thanks

Ok, so I am really confused about how lighting works and what full spectrum means. I want my 55 gallon cichlid tank to have a blue color to it. Would I have to get higher Kelvin rating or what? Also there are these lights at petco called Coralife, and I was wondering if they would work for...

I have 6 Africans, a convict, a jack Dempsey, and a crayfish. A few days ago I realized they are itching along the sand and ornaments. I don't think it's ich though because they are also shaking their heads. I think it is gill and body flukes. What should I do to treat? If I add salt, what kind...

Just bought an aqua-tech power head and I plugged in the the air tube at the top and it started blowing bubbles without the air pump on! Do I even need the air pump or can I just the the airline tubbing in by itself? Thanks.

I have an aquaclear 50 and an aquatech powerhead on my 55 gal with sand subtrate. I did a large water change and turned them off for a brief moment, then added the water, turned them on and they got loud. They usually do this for 4 hours to even a couple of days, but they have been doing it for...

All parameters are fine, is was a little cloudy so I did a water change and its looks even worse now! It like a white cloudy now. I'm thinking Mayr it just got stirred up, if so how long will it take to get clear? It's a 55 gal. African cichlid tank.
