The poor guy was a purple long tentacle anemone. We took him back and refund no problem. No receipt but fortunately we've spent major $$$$ at the store this was the first issue so no problem with the return Only thing Ph was 7.7 I wonder if that killed him.

We've tried to move it closer to the light but it doesn't stick to anything :( I think we will try and take it back. Any reason we shouldn't get another one? Hate to killing creatures

We have 260 watt light 130 fluorescent 130 actinic The foot doesn't feel very sticky...it was hiding in the back/bottom of tank pretty much since we got it I thought it would enjoy closer to the light source but for some reason this one hid in the dark

Hi gang, We purchased this anemone Sunday 4/22 it hasn't been doing well. This is our first anemone and we may have gotten over our head. Water quality seems good no ammonia NO3 is at 5 Is this a goner? Any tips to help get it healthier? Thanks for your help!

Updated picture. So far we like the lights. Looked a whole lot different when we put the new lights on. We have some Frogspawn frags, star polyp frag, and some we don't know what they are and a bubble coral. Oh and I was looking at the fresh water chart for the ph so it is actually still normal...

So it has been awhile we have fish and corals however had our first suicide today. Found our flame hawkfish on the ground. He jumped out. Is this normal? Or should we be worried. Water tested fine except ph was a little low. Any suggestions? Should we be worried?

Thanks. I think I will skip the dwarf angel then. Got the bangai cardinal today and a star polyp frag. I have a 260 watt flourescent and actinic lights and led moonlights. It was amazing how different the tank looked with the new lights.

We have upgraded our lights and added our first coral drags (2 zoanthoids and 1 mushroom). We are now looking to plan out the rest of the stock. Currently have 3 green chromis, and cuc. We are hoping to add Cardinal Pair of gobies (or maybe 1 and a pistol shrimp, or both) dwarf angel? Not sure...

Just got another 16lbs of LR. This should be it, and I can't tell you guys how excited we are to be done buying rock. Getting our new light tomorrow (one listed before) excited to be able to add corals soon! Hopefully next week.

It took ours several days before clearing up when it was first started I was beginning to get worried then it cleared and the tests were good showing everything was working.

Any idea what this is? Not sure if it was attached to a rock and fell off when we moved them around...or a dead snail...something else...kinda ugly should we take it out or let the creatures in the tank decide?

We just added a salt mix to a new 55 gallon. Purchased a bag of salt and I'd say it was 20+ cups. Didn't take a standard gravity reading for about three days... the water was very cloudy for a couple days so we didn't do any readings. Also depending on how you put the water in the tank there...

Here is a link to the light we've been looking at. We like the LED combo because heard from lfs that even the new LED models doesn't provide the full spectrum of color that is best for an aquarium. Thought this would be a good balance Any experience with this model or something similar? Will...

New rock

Bought 12 more lbs of live rock today. This is an addicting hobby!

Hey thanks for the tips so far. I hope we're off to a good start but I know we have a LONG ways to go. We do have coraline in the tank from live rock. Appears to be several different species. We do have a test kit but can not test Calcium so it sounds like we should take it easy on that...

Hello and thank you all for the great advice we've read over the past month. My boyfriend and I have started a 55g Thanksgiving weekend and the hobby has been lots of fun so far! eventually we'd like to add corals to our tiny bit of the tropics. We live in Minnesota and hope a reef escape in...
