    Heating water before going in the aquarium

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for your fast reply! AND you were so kind to have included the link! I have already placed my order and I can't wait to get it! They said to expect it by Jan 17th. In south Alabama we don't have much need for bucket heaters.... In fact, I've never...

    Heating water before going in the aquarium

    I need to purchase a heater for my already mixed RO water before putting it in my aquarium. I keep my system on a porch area and the water is much cooler than the aquarium water. I've used aquarium heaters but they haven't helped much. I would like something larger (fast) that I don't have to...

    Ruby Red Dragonet behavior

    I've only had this little guy for @2 weeks. He pretty much sticks to the rocks and often times I have to look hard to find him. My tank has been set up for @ 3 years. I used sand from my tank that's been set up for @ 12 years to seed it so I believe it should have a pretty good stock of pods...

    How to find a pistol shrimp

    I added a watchman goby and his pistol shrimp to a 30 gal tank a few months ago. They had been together in a 2 gal. tank for a couple of years. They swam away when I dropped them in (after acclimating, of course). The goby has been eating and hiding in the rocks but I have seen nothing of...

    Issues Between Young Damsels

    The chromis is the least aggressive damsel. I've seen several of them cohabit quite peacefully. My bet is that you are right & the other damsel just beat him up. I have never been able to keep chromis damsels alive for very long, never had a problem with other damsels. I have 2 blue w/...

    What to do about diatoms

    Thanks for all your help.... I found a unit at Bulk Reef Supply that will also make drinking water..... it's more expensive but since we've been looking for something to filter our drinking water, a better deal for us (& easier to sell to my husband). Since Greg mentioned the cost of replacing...

    What to do about diatoms

    Thanks for the advice. I have looked for a RO filter but gave up. I can't really afford the big units. Someone at my fish store suggested something RVs use. I never could find one and then just forgot about it. When I i was looking for one it was not for this problem.... just wanted one for...

    What to do about diatoms

    I have been told that the brown dusty covering on my rocks, sand, coral, and anything else horizontal is diatoms. "No problem," I'm told, "cut down on feeding' and "it may be your water." This tank has been set up for over 10 years. I had the problem once before (slightly, compared to this) -...

    Aptastia popping up in inconvenient places:(

    Thanks... Thanks for the advice. I had noticed that my yellow star polyps are not as plentiful as before & just assumed that the Kaulk (same as Aptasia X, I'm told) was burning some of them as it flaked off..... so, maybe not. Thanks again.

    Aptastia popping up in inconvenient places:(

    Probably 6 mos ago I bought live rock with a nice colony of yellow star polyps. After @ 2 days tiny little aptasia started popping up all over the live rock...... I used Kaulk over a period of weeks until I got rid of all of them..... I thought.... I hadn't seen any in months and all of a sudden...

    Baby ?'s.............

    Baby ??? What could they be? I checked tonight & don't see them anymore.... I'm guessing they were eaten.

    Baby ?'s.............

    After lights out tonight I took a flashlight & went to check out what was going on in the aquarium. After sitting a moment I began to notice tiny little fish (I think) swimming toward the light. My fire clown also noticed and began to snack. I turned off the lights and waited until I thought...

    I am going out of town on Thurs. so I need help fast. I have had a pencil urchin for many years. I recently added corals to my tank so he became a problem....mostly with knocking the corals over or knocking something over on them. I moved him into my tank that has fish only (well actually...

    Another unidentified critter

    One more question..... Thanks, Mr. X. But, I have one more question for you. Is this thing an anenome or a coral? I've read several articles and some say it is a coral that resembles an anemone and others say that pseuocorynactis is an anenome whose tentacles are very potent and can easily...

    Another unidentified critter

    Thanks!!! Thank you, Mr. X. You are a genius! You wouldn't believe how many people I have asked about this & they look at me like I'm crazy! I googled pseuocorynactis and this photo looks just like my mystery creature! I read up on this guy but it didn't sound like I should feed him anything...

    Another unidentified critter

    I brought my flashlight in the middle of the night last night to see what might be crawling around in my tank. Didn't see anything crawling but something I have never seen before attached to my live rock. It was shaped like a tiny sea urchin with appendages that were clear... almost like the...

    Red ruffly stuff- pics this time....

    Here is a photo of my unidentified object. I finally just moved the rock to the front of the tank so I could take a picture.... should have done that in the first place..... When I looked at the picture I thought about an anenome but the edges really do look ruffled... not like tentacles.

    Red ruffly growth from rock?

    This is the closest pic I can find that looks like it. This is listed as flat halymenia. What is in my tank is so small that I can't see it really well but the part that I can see looks like the very edges of the part in the picture at the top middle. I'm not at all sure that this is what it...
