Thats what we though but it just molted!!!!

It is slowly turning red again it seems....... Has anyone ever heard of this?

We just picked up 2 peppermint shrimp from the lfs and they were both red when they went into the container after a few minutes or so one of them turned blue. The lfs had no idea why. Its been about 2hrs now and he is still lively just not red! Anyone know whats going on??

We have been thinking of putting new substrate because I feel the crushed coral in there now is loaded with bad stuff. With the tank, the previous guy gave us all the food and chemicals he had which included seasoned nori that Ive read is high in phosphates (I have no idea what he was feeding...

One more thing..

I have 2x odyssea 12000w and 1x odyssea true actinic 65w and 8 led moon lights. Im missing 1 actinic but the one i have is above the LR we are talking about. i really appreciate your input:thumb: Im new And yes there seems to be a little more than when I first got it. Just a bit. I can find a...

Its hard and smooth. Not slimy at all. With a little effort I can scrap it with my nail.

Phosphate and calcium got it. I am getting a new test kit because I dont have a very accurate one. In the mean time Ill take a sample of my water to the lfs to test it for free. But ill get mine soon. Its going to take some time but it wil come right. Thank you.

wow I have never heard of that, i hope its not painted! I took a closer picture and you can actually the the disk the polyps were originally on(center of pic) and it has this colour too so doubt its paint. I know I have diatoms. Also here are two more pics that I believe do have coralline...

what do you mean by painted? I know the tank os older because most of the equipment is discontinued or older models, that tells me its got many years on it.

Thanks guys, if it is im happy! Cant wait to see what my aquarium will look like a few years down the line ;) I would like to add more rock but not sure what that invovles yet, got some research to do.

I have had it running two weeks now but I bought it used and the guy said he had it for a few years. Wish I knew more. Its the only rock that has it.

I have not tried to touch it yet but it does have a velvet looking texture.

I like the pink pin cushion

My LR is turning deep purple/black. What could it be and will my polyps be ok? thanks

All is working out guys!! Got the protein skimmer working, my hubby and I took it apart and figured it out. The worms were 'crispy' ugh! cleaned it out and now things look great!

Wow! Great job!

All 5 of our urchins spent a few hours expelling fecal matter today! I was not expecting to see this lol! but how strange is it that all 5 chose the same day same time to do this? They normally move around all day long but today they all stopped and did this. Strange! Anyone heard of this?

Another great link! Adding to to my 'library'. Thank you!

Here is what i have: Livestock: 2 yellow tail blue damsels Large green brittle star Arrow crab 5 mine urchins 5 turbo snails 3 mexican snails (1 is a baby) Brown button polyps Dozens of 'micro' brittle stars My concern with the worms is that the guy we bought it from emptied the sump the night...

Thanks for the link, very informative. bookmarked!

I hear this a lot, that its better to have LR but I see beautiful setups at all the local restaurants (we live in a touristy area on the beach ) and LFS and almost all have bioballs. Their fish, coral and everything else look great so Im not too concerned with them.

No we did not clean it. Let me explain why... About a week ago found a craigslist posting, the guy wanted it out of the house so bad he said he would deliver the whole thing. 65g, cabinet, wet/dry, canister, 50% of the water, LR, fish, inverts, lights and tons of accessories, DIRT CHEAP! He...

Ok, so the diatoms will clear yay. Now as for theother stuff I I think it's because I bought a used tank in the smup is rather dirty full of detritus worms, cleaningit out tonight. we are thinking of getting a peppermint shrimp for the aptasia but not sure if it will get along with our arrow...
