I have a green galaxia about the size of a baseball. Yesterday I noticed that one small head (not much bigger than a BB) was lying on the sand. The small head had the tenticles sticking out of the end like nothing was wrong. Is this how they reproduce? If so do I just super glue this to a piece...

I have a sponge growing out from one of my rocks. It is growing toward my Galaxia. Can I just cut the sponge back or will it damage it?

Does anyone know of a forum for African Chiclids? I want to set up a 55Gal tank and need all the information I can get. Thanks

Check out the NEW Clownfish I got yesterday. It only took him about 1 hour to find the new host.

Ok, my middle support on the top of my tank has buckled and has cracked almost in half. I spoke with my LFS and they are going to replace my tank. I have a 55 gal with 50 - 55 lbs of LR, 90 lbs of LS, several corals and lots of inverts. How do you switch over a DSB and LR into a new tank without...

These are my first corals. What do you think??

I have a 55 gal reef tank I have had up and running for about 5 months. I also have a 26 Gal Oceanic tank that my son kept a fair sized turtle in for about a year. It has been empty for about 6 months now. I was thinking about converting it into a sump but my LFS said they would not use anything...

I am going thru my first and hopefully last case of Ich. I have a Royal Gramma and a Algae Blennie. They are now in a hospital tank 10 gal, heater, and air stone. I am using Ich Attack, an Herbal medcine. My LFS guy said this was good stuff because Copper is so tuff on the fish. The Gramma is...

I got this toadstool on friday and until today everything looked great with it. Today it has this white area on it as seen in the picture. Can anyone tell what is wrong plus it seems to be shrinking in height. Is there anyway to save it? Thanks in Advance Salinity - .023 PH - 8.2 Amm - 0...

I used a Salifert test kit for KH / Alkalinity and the reading came out KH 15.4 and Alkalinity 5.49. Is this low, high or Ok for a reef tank with just a few corals? ph - 8.4 Amm. - 0 Salinity - .023 Thanks

I put in a couple of Peppermint shrimp to headoff some Aiptasi and I have not seen anything of them in over 2 weeks. A couple of nights ago while looking for them with a flashlight I noticed a big crab hiding in my live rock. We have had this LR for 2 months and this is the first time we have...

This is my tank after 3 months. Its a 55 gal with about 50lbs of LR. The first pic has my Royal Gramma and Algae Blennie.

The LR has several patches of what looks like some type of white mass. Its not soild but on the soft side. Pic Rock 2-1 In Pic Rock 1-1 there are 2 holes circled. There is something in these holes. What ever is in the smaller hole looks like what is in the larger hole. What ever is in the...

My tank has been set up for 3 weeks. I have a 55 Gal tank with 3-4" DSB. I put in 10 lbs of LFS store LR to cycle the tank before I ordered from LR.com. The LR has been in the tank for 2 weeks now. The LR is starting to look like it has gone about 3 days without shaving. It looks like it has...

Hello All, I have a 55 Gal with a 3 - 4'' DSB. LR to be ordered tomorrow from LR.com. I have 2 HOB filters running until I can get a skimmer. No fish yet. Tank is only 2 weeks old. I have seen where Skimmers have Bubble traps or Bubble reducers. My 2 HOB filters produce quite a few bubbles in...

I am setting up and new 55 GAL SW tank. My LFS told me if I went with just Sand only then I would have a constant sand storm in my tank but that what I needed was a Sand & Crushed Coral mixture. Is this true? I plan on a 3" DSB and I have 2 - 402 Powerheads.

When my tank is set up for the 1st time and the LR and sand has had time to cure, when it comes time to add the first couple of fish to the tank will they need to be put in a QT for 4-5 weeks or can they go right into the tank after the acclimation process?

I hear everybody dicussung getting Mantis Shrimp in their live rock and making sure to get rid of them. Why do you not want any Mantis Shrimp? Everybody talks bad about them but nobody says why they are bad. Can someone shed some light?

My LFS talked me out of setting up my 28 gal as a SW tank. They said 1 mistake in a smaller tank could wipe out a tank in hours where a larger tank I could has several days to correct the mistake. So I bought a standard 55 gal setup. My question is when I set up my tank I will have 2-3 inches of...

I have a 28 gal Tank that I have used for a freshwater tank for about 8 years. The fish have finally died off due to old age. Does anyone think I would have any problems converting this to a small reef and fish tank. I was thinking about 40 lbs of LR, enough LS for 1-2 inch coverage. Then add a...
