I received this anenome with my Tampabay Saltwater liverock order. Does anyone know what kind of anenome this is?? Is it good or bad to have around?? Thanks! Steve

Any idea what kind of pod this is?? Good or Bad?? I have taken 3 out of the tank so far. This one was the biggest at 3/4 of a inch. Was doing a great job in the sandbed moving it around. Thanks

I gave away of all my freshwater fish from my Planted 90 Gallon tank. I never did well with the planted aspect. My 40 Gallon SW tank has been a HUGE success. It was in my office...and more people who came to visit always migrated to the messy office to oogle at the tank. I finally convinced...

I am currently cycling my 90 Gallon with 200lbs of Argaramax Sugar Sized and 60 lbs of Dry Base Rock from Reeferrocks.com. I have 3 shrimp in there as my source of ammonia. I am thinking about actually buying Live Sand. I know that the sand will become live over time, but I really want a good...

I am converting a FW 90 Gallon tank into a SW Reef tank and creating a Sump based on the famous RLG2182 Design: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=53046 I am doing this in a 30 gallon (36x12x16) tank. I have a ASM G2 Skimmer which works best at 6-10 inches of water...so I am going...

I have everything chosen for my 90 Gallon Reef....except for the Skimmer. So many to choose from....from cheap to outragous prices. My limit is around $250. I have seen locally the Amiracle and Pro-Clear Venturi...anyone ever use any of these?? They look okay...but are they loud in a house...

I have lost my dearest fish today. Lenny the Blenny. He was a Lawnmower Blenny that I had for nearly a year. He was a very happy and healthy fish. Was loved by the family. Here is a excerpt from my wife's Blog about Lenny: http://oniwolda.livejournal.com/31099.html Anyway...it was feeding...

I have noticed an interesting thing with my 2 new Aquacultured Percula Clown Fish that I have had for 2 weeks. They don't need no stinking anemone! They have Host Hammer Coral. I have only noticed this at night, hence the bad picture. I thought it interesting that the clowns would take a...

I ordered a Royal Gramma from Saltwaterfish.com last week, along with 2 percula clown fish. The Percs are doing GREAT (even snuggling with my Hammer Coral...that was unexpected)..but I am assuming the Royal Gramma is dead. He was VERY healthly looking during the acclimation process. When I...

I have enclosed a picture of a Nice Red Plant that grew in 1 spot from my Live Rock from LR.COM. It was a neat plant....nice and Red. Hermits would climb it. It was nice. NOW I has invaded my ENTIRE TANK! It is growing ALL OVER my all of my Live Rock...Some has even attached itself and...

I have seen this "clear ball of jelly" for the second time in my tank that is 8 months old. I saw this "ball of jelly" about 6 weeks ago...in the same location. Hermits and Sally Lightfoot Crab made got rid of it in about 5 days once is showed up. Any idea what this could be?? It is about...

In the past week...I have lost 4 fish to what I now know is Velvet. I have no idea how it was introduced....my only guess is that it came in the Trophont Stage when I introduced some Orange Cumcumbers 6 weeks ago...prior to that I had not had any additions to the tank for 10 weeks. I have 3...

My 40 Gallon Breeder Reef Tank has been up and running since January. I have never had a fish death...and everything has been WONDERFUL with the tank...until this week!! Tank Parameters: pH=8 (According to Salifert test....which give too wide a range in my opinion) Ammonia and Nitrites: 0...

Quick Question...do leather corals move? My Xenia moved all over the tank....I am hoping a leather will move off of the little rock it came on to the big live rock. if they do move...how long should it take?

I am NOT going to buy the carbon bags made specifically for the Penn Plax Cascade 1500 Canister Filter anymore...too expensive! I am going to get some ESV Activated Granular Carbon...and put it in a filter bag. Now I find there are several sizes of pores of the Filter Media Bags: Larger -...

My wife was on her computer today... she glanced over to the tank and caught a worm coming out of the live rock that she nor I had seen before. Is it just a large bristle worm...or do I have a something else more worrisome?? Thanks

My 40 gallon tank is 4 months old. I have noticed recently that the top part of the sand is turning quite brown in some places. You can really notice it when the Pistol Shrimp does some digging and the sand from deeper in the tank is so much whiter in comparison. It is not the red slime of...

When I got my Live Rock 4 months ago...I noticed a few very small, black, urchin like creatures...they were smaller than a pea. You could hardly tell the were alive a moving. That was then....THIS IS NOW: Now I have 10 HUGE black urchins in my tank. Their bodies are about 3/4 of an inch in...

I have had my tank set up for 4 months now. I may have spotted an Isopod on the Live Rock. Are there any safe Isopods...or should I be worried??? This one was a whitish/clear color, I did not see any eyes that were visisble, he was about 1/3 inch long. I did not see any legs or feelers on...

I have a 40 Gallon Glass Breeder tank...and I have been using a Mag Float Magnetic Algae Scraper since I set it up 4 months ago. I now have some hard green aglae on the glass that the Mag Float will not scrape off. I have seen some VERY pricey Magnetic Algae scrapers....but do I need to spend...

I have a 90 gallon tank for FW tank in the living and a 40 Gallon SW tank my Office. The SW tank was more or less an experiment to see if I could be successful at SW...and it has been great! The family gathers around and watches the SW MUCH more than the FW, which also make it more difficult...

I am having THE MOST HORRIBLE time with my FW Planted tank! The synopsis to getting me to this point: 1. Bad Hair Algae caused by too high Phosphate and too low nitrate, too little iron 2. An attempt to fix "visible" problems with SAEs and Flag Fish and Skunk Botia Loaches 3. Acclimated...

I give up...I finally realize I know nothing about Calcium...and now I need to know. I was hoping calcium would not be problem in my 3 month old tank...but it is. I have a 4 inch DSB...which I thought would help keep Calcium levels up as there is a lot of fine Argonite sand, that should...

Okay...you may want to get the kids out of the room...and these pictures may make a grown man or woman cry (especially if they have put all their extra money and time into their aquarium). A few weeks ago...some of you may have rememembered I had a HUGE unicelluar Algae Problem with green...

Looking to deal with a big hair algae problem. I am looking to attack it with Siamese Algae Eaters and Ameca Splendens. I have found some online sources for Siamese Algae Eaters, but I am unable to find any suppliers for the Ameca Spendens. My LFSs have never heard of either fish...so I am...
