I looked into my tank just moments ago, and saw my starfish up on the glass. There is something coming out of it's center. What is it? My first thought was that it was laying eggs (I just got it a week or 2 ago.) but I wasn't sure. Here is a pic.

Well, my new tank has cycled and everyone has move over to their new home. So far, they are enjoying all of the space! I do have some questions though. 1) What should I have for a cleanup crew? The tank is 29 gallons, but is rather compact. I wouldn't want any big, humongous snails or anything...

I have decided to once again setup a larger tank. I am planning on replacing my 12 Gallon JBJ Nano Cube (as it has been given me nothing but headaches recently) with a 29 Gallon Oceanic Bio Cube which I have already purchased. I will be starting from scratch with new sand, water, live rock...

When I use the "FI Apple Blue" theme, the link to the articles does not work It says that the server cannot be found. Also, no matter what theme I use, the links section does not work. Whenever I click on a link to the category, it simply reloads the page. Just thought you should know!

Well spring break is finally here (Yay!) and I finally have the time to give my tank some much needed attention. In addition to some routine maintenance, I am long overdue for some new light bulbs for my 12 Gal Nano Cube. Since I know absolutely nothing about lighting, I have a few questions...

Since upgrading my 10 gallon to my 12 gallon cube, my nitrate levels have skyrocketed. They are somewhere between 80 and 160 ppm 8O. Ph, ammonia, and nitrite are all in check. I am assuming the best way to lower the levels would be to do water changes, so I went to the grocery store and bought...

... to move into a new home. My new 12 gallon nano cube arrived today! Just in time. The filter on my current tank seems to be malfunctioning. I currently have it (the cube) running with water downstairs to check for leaks and clean it out. I will be upgrading from my 10 gallon to the cube. I...

Hello all. I am thinking about upgrading my tank to a Nano Cube Deluxe. I currently have a 10 gallon that has been setup for over one year. I was planning on re-using my sand. As for the live rock, I will most likely get all new from lr.com. (I don't like the rock I have now at all!) I was...

Hello all! I have just ordered a cf lighting system (from my LFS) for my 29 gallon tank. It is the one shown here: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=12109&N=2004+113176+2146962447 The only difference is that it comes in a different box. It is the same brand and light...

I have several things that need to be identified. I was adding water to my tank and I found this brown wormy thing (Pic 1). Would it have been anything to worry about? I also have some of these things running about in my tank (Pic 2). They kind of remind me of a shrimp. I found this one in my...

I am currently cycling a 29 gallon fowlr and wanted to know if I should run a protein skimmer. I have a protein skimmer/filter all in one.

As I was adding water to my tank last night, I did minor re-aquascaping. I noticed a little red worm-like thing on my rock. As I proceeded to remove it, I kind of cut off part of him. :oops: Did I remove (and, I guess, kill) something that should have been left in my tank?

I came upstairs to feed my fish after getting ready for school and what do I see? My hermit (normal one) eating my banded shrimp! My question is: Did the hermit kill him, or did he die and then the hermit started doing his job. Are they usually aggressive. I did add water last night (It...

I have some general questions that I wanna ask. Here it goes... 1)I feed Formula One flake to my beloved Clown and sometimes frozen brine (when I think about it). Is there anything I else I should be feeding. If so... what? (If a home recipe, please post it!) 2) I have 4 Blue Legged Hermit...

Is it possible to grow sponge on your lr? I was cleaning algae off the tank earlier today and decidet to re-aquascape. I noticed a sponge attached to my lr. Is this good, bad or even possible?

I have these things growing on my lr. They look like eyelashes on a tube. They are less than 1 centimeter long and white. Could they be tiny featherdusters? Oh, are featherdusters a good thing? I don't know anything about them except what they look like! :oops:

I just looked into my tank and saw a baby starfish! Where could it have come from? It is small (really small) and gray, like my sand sifter. (I think it might be a baby sand sifter.) Where could it have come from? I haven't added any lr lately. Could my sand sifter have had a baby? There is only...

I came home today and found this white worm-looking thing on the side of my glass. It almost looked like a wet feather. (To me anyways!) Any clues? I couldn't get a pic of it. It was too small!

I am looking at getting a new friend (or possibly friends) for Marlin Jr. What would be good tank-mates for him? I only have a ten gallon though.

I have a Sand Sifter star, and was wondering do I need to feed it? I have had him for about a month and he has lived so far.

I am looking at getting a PC lighting system for my 10 gallon tank. I am looking at these. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=11420&R=24864&N=2004+113345+113133&in_merch=1 What size should I get? (I am thinking the 20") My tank is 20"Lx10"Wx12"H (Don't think height...

I posted awhile ago about having Ick. (Nobody replied.) I decided to try Ick Away (by wardley). Well it seemed to work. My fish were fine for about a week. Now they seem to have it 10 time worse. They are in a 10 gallon tank. I have a 7 gallon that I will use as a Hospital Tank. I need to know...

I have a hermit crab (the kind you buy at the pet store as pets) and I wondered if I could put him in my SW tank.

I recently added 2 fish to my 10 gallon tank. One is a Clownfish, and the other is a Royal Gramma. They appeared well at the LFS, but today, I believe they have ich. My 2 Damsels seem fine, as does my shrimp. What should I do?

Is there a way to remove scratches from a glass tank?
