this is far out there but just an idea, at places like Home Depot or Lowes they sell a brace for mounting a ceiling fan between two beams of wood. you drill like a 3 or four inch hole in your ceiling (enough to stick your hand) in between the two wood studs (using a stud finder to get the...

Hello, one of my clown fishes is losing his color. I purchased him about a week ago, I have had another clown fish fire about a month and wanted a second. My first clown fish Is a lot bigger and won't let the new one come near him and won't share the two bta's. so the new guy is kind of left out...

i have one shrimp but it goes no where near it lol.

dang really? hes so cool looking lol. ill have to go to the store tomorrow. will those pesticides hurt anything else?

better pic? lol

This thing grew out of nowhere, at least not where i could see it. it looks and acts like a polyp but more sinister looking with long sharp pointed tentacles. its mouth looks like a polyps mouth and when he catches food it closes up and when it swallows you can see the food inside the body tube...

Just thought i would share a pic of one of my mushrooms dividing in two, it looks pretty cool. its the one on the botton center :popcorn:

One more question, how do they reproduce?

thanks i had purchased these maybe a month ago and the metallic mushrooms have almost doubled in size. i didnt know they closed up when they caught a piece of food, i knew the polyps did but not the mushrooms i thought they were filter feeders they are my favorite

Hello I got two soft corals that I need to id, thanks

Can someone send me in the right direction with this coral, i bought it a month ago and has grown a considerable amount, i want to do some research on how to possibly frag it. i forgot what the name is and my LFS where i bought it is a bit of a drive from my house.

well i don't think it was shedding, larger pieces started falling of and it looked like it was dissolving, i could see a sack of some sort where a big chunk of flesh fell off. i decided to play it safe and just get rid of it before it would damage other stuff by polluting the water

1. Type & how long you have had it: Colt Coral, have had it about a month 2. Current lighting & Bulb Age: 4x33W T5ho, 1 white, 1 blue, 2 purple on about 12 hours a day 3. Nitrate: 0ppm 4. Calcium: 470 5. Phosphate: 0.0 to 0.25 hard to tell, closer to 0.0 tough 6. Alkalinity: 1.43 ppm 7. pH:8.2...

Hey newbie here from Tucson, any good salt water fish and coral stores in Phoenix. I like the one here in tucson but its the only one in town and their selection runs out pretty fast.

i have been using API saltwater and reef kits for the test, with the test vials. and i have been using Purple Up to get some coralline algae going, not in the last few days though.

ok so nothing out of the ordinary, 0 amonina, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 8.0 PH, salinity is 1.025, calcium around 480-500. the only one is carbonate (KH) at around 143ppm, is that too high?. temp is at 77 degrees. Anything else i can check???

thanks for the speedy responses, i get my saltwater from my LFS, its a 50g tank so i do 10g changes and have never had a problem its good quality water state of the art RO system and the water is always aerated. it usually doesn't get so cloudy but i cleaned the sand/ gravel, scrubbed some algae...

Can someone tell me what kind of coral this is and it started looking limp like this recently like in the past day is it normal? I have had it for over three weeks now and it the first time it has ever been this limp. i Just did a PWC so the water is a bit cloudy. Thanks.

So my tank has been up and running for just about 3 weeks, and over the last few days the ammonia and nitrite were barely reading. The spike of ammonia got to about 4ppm and the nitrite to about 5ppm, and the nitrate got to about 40ish ppm. Today everything is reading 0 all accross with ph at...
