I last week for my birthday I got a 135 gallon tank. I have other tanks one used with pool sand and the other with play sand. I used decided to use the play sand in this tank Because I thought it looked better, although it is a lot finer. On Tuesday I rinsed the sand and put it in the tank...

I have one coral shrimp with four peppermint shrimp. Recently the peppermints have all stayed on the filter up high and I was wondering if it was because they were trying to stay away from the coral shrimp. What kind of damage can these guys do? Do they eat Shrimp, fish and coral?

I have a puffer that I feed snails which I keep in a glass jar. The problem is that when I open the glass jar it stinks very bad, the water is gross, and I can't reach the bottom to get snails out. Does anyone have something else they keep feeder snails in? I don't want to keep them in the...

So my zoa dropped a polyp and I was wondering is it still alive if I put it in a crevice in live rock will it attach itself to the rock?

So I just got a 55 gallon with a bunch of tetras cories and 2 ram cichlids. I've been wanted a puffer for a little separate tank since my last green spotted tank ate all the tiger barbs in my 10th gallon. Would a pea puffer be okay to put in the 55? I heard they might nip at fish or cory. Thanks

I have one moss ball in my betta tank. I am moving it to my new 55g and was hoping to cut it to make another or to make a carpet/attach it to a log or rocks. How would I do this? If I cut it down the middle I heard there is a sac type thing inside. If I cut that would I be killing it or is that...

I'm starting a new 55 gallon and am in the process of putting play sand in the bottom. If I go ahead anf start the filter will the sand go up into and get caught on the cartridge? Or will it help cycle better? Or should I just wait until I'm done putting the sand in and let it sink to the bottom...

So I made the mistake of getting pond snails for my 10 gallon. I got about three and now I have hundreds! Its impossible to get rid of them all so I want to buy a clown loach. How long do they get? I am upgrading my tank to a 55 gallon very soon (I already have the tank but I wont put my fish in...

Does play sand work instead of sand for pools. I bought it at home depot. If so, do you have to rinse it before putting it in the tank like you would with gravel?

I have a tetra that is carrying eggs. I dont know how long it's been so there's no way to tell when she will be laying them. I bought a 2-way Breeder and put her in it. It is made so when the eggs are laid they will sink to the bottom into a seperate part where the big fish cant eat them. I was...
