Everything else in the tank is doing amazing and showing great growth.. This is the second acan I have tried in the last two months and I don't wont to lose it. Also, the tank is about a year and a half old.

Soft corals are a great place to start, like the ones mentioned above. Leathers and palythoas are some other good starters. depending on your parameters, some LPS are relatively easy to care for as well. What is your set up and parameters?

Are the cerith snails the only CUC you have?

Hello, I have a 20g tank that is a year old and I just finally added corals to it today. Inhabitants are: (2) True Percula Clown Fish (1) Bi-color Dotty back (1) sea serpent starfish and then assorted CUC. I am thinking that we are close to maxed out if not already, but I would really...

Well I figure worst case scenario for me is a save a betta from a cup of water abd out it in the 1g and then upgrade it to a 5+ gallon tank in the next few months and turn the current 1g into a sweet pico reef tank.. Love my saltwater ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I had 5 for a year and in a 2 day period lost 4 of them and then the last one was fine until I sold that set up. From what I've always heard and read that's just how they are.. Die of for more or less no reason. Probably nothing you did or didn't do, just the nature of the fish. Sent from my...

I like mine black, I feel like it makes the fish, corals and rock stand out better than it does against a blue background. Also, the only time I cleaned my back glass was when I would get the little vermetid snails taking over it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
