A month or so ago I purchased a piece of live rock with about 20 small Green Mushrooms on it. These mushrooms have started to grow and I am afraid they are going to run out of room. What is the best way to remove some of them from the live rock, and then reattach them to a different piece of...

Look to get some kind of cleaner crew. Generally they consist of some snails, some hermit crabs and possibly some mithrax crabs (not really necessary if you don't have bubble algae). Some fancier cleaner crews will have sand sifting stars or even certain types of blennies or gobies. Take a...

I am looking at some different light fixtures for my 75 gallon FOWLR Tank. I am really kind of lost as to what is the best time of lighting. I am a little reluctant to go with MH lights, because of heat (I have a canopy on the tank). Can anyone give me any recommendations on the following...

I currently have a 75 gallon tank with a few fish (damsels), a cleaner crew(snails/crabs) and about 50 lbs of LR. I was thinking of adding about 30 more lbs of LR from LR.com. Will that cause the tank to recycle? Will it kill of my invertebrates?

Do you need to add Iodine for the emerald crabs to be able to molt (like you do for shrimp)?

I recently bought a CPR BakPak-2 from Dr. Foster and Smiths. As soon as I got the the system up and running, it started to leak from the two pipes attached to the powerheads. Would it be a big deal to just put some aquarium safe sealant around the pipes, or should I return it?

If I add additional Live Rock to my tank, will my cleaner crew (Mithrax, dwarf red hermits & Trochus Snails) just eat anything that grows on that live rock?

What are ballasts? I know they have something to do with lighting, but I haven't found a clear description to what they do.

I have some Fiji LR and I was wondering if mixing it with some LR from the Key's would cause any problems. Any ideas?

The Bak-Pak 2 is designed to hang on the back of the tank. Could it be hung on the side of my Maxi-Reef MR-100 Wet/Dry Filter?

I recently bought a Wavemaster Pro and 4 Maxijet 1200's to create a wave affect in my 75 gallon tank. The current seems really strong, even on the lowest setting (my three Damsels seem to have a hard time swimming against the current and just hide in the rocks). Are the powerheads to strong...
