    Algae in live sand?

    Honestly I got them before I knew any better. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have got them, but I'm glad I did cause it worked out. At least so far :)

    Algae in live sand?

    I actually have a twin spot goby and a mandarin. They are both healthy and eating. I didn't realize until after I got them that they were difficult to care for. My twin spot was skinny when I got him and has fattened up nice. My mandarin i think is just a pig cause he is ginormous. Guess I got...

    Algae in live sand?

    I have had the tank up for about 5 months. No I didn't wash the sand, eek! Was I supposed to? I got the sand in the bag with water, I think coralife, something like that.

    Algae in live sand?

    I will mess with it when I get home, I will try to wipe it away first, then maybe stir the sand a little if that doesn't work. Thank you guys so much! I will let you know how it goes.

    Algae in live sand?

    Hmm yes I guess maybe it is on the glass. Its not anywhere else. On one side there is something similar but it's pink. Should I just leave it be or try to scrape the glass below the sand?

    All levels still at 0?

    Hi all! Hope you had great holidays! I was wondering if this was normal. I have had 5 crabs, 5 snails and a green chromis in my 36 gal tank for 2 weeks.

    Circulation pump question

    Hi all!! I was advised to get 2 circulation air pumps for my 36 gallon tank. My question is where is it best to place them and what direction should they face? Obviously not facing down since that would create a sand storm lol, but is it better to face up, straight ahead, etc? Thank you!!!

    Hello All!!!

    Hi! I have found myself stalking this site for a week or so ever since I got an aquarium. I noticed that in all the research I've been doing, the info coming from this site always seems pretty sound, so I figured I would go ahead and join. I have no fun facts as of yet, I only have the aquarium...
