Hello! I moved to Ontario about 3 years ago and I finally started my 24 gallon nano saltwater tank (aiming for a reef tank). My tank is located in my basement, so it'll keep cool in the summer, however I am worried my heater won't be able to keep up with winter temperatures. Right now I have...

Just set up a tank for cycling with live rock (yay!) and noticed one of my first denizens of the deep is a little aiptasia (boo!). So three questions: I'd like to try the lemon juice approach, but I have "reconstituted lemon juice" and not concentrate. Is this good enough to use? Do I...

Greetings all! I need help identifying these two creatures, please. First one (top left) I believe to be a clam of some sort. When I shine a light on it it'll shoot back into the rock then very slowly come back out. It looks to have a mantle of some sort because the middle looks more...

I'm having trouble with barb bullying. I've had 4 gold barbs in a 39 gallon tank for probably 3 or 4 years, and just these past few months 3 of them (now 2) have turned on the largest one. The big guy is probably 2.5in while the others were around 2in. All of a sudden, like within a few...

I recently purchased a paly frag and on it were what looked to be aiptasia. I immediately nuked them with some Aiptasia X, but on a second round of the stuff I noticed the "anemones" look very similar to my GSP, albeit super tiny. They're too small to take a photo of, but the discs are...

My lfs has a 2-3 inch RBTA and anemone crab combo for $55. The anemone is bleached but has bright pink tips and the crab is about an inch. Lfs closes in two hours and I won't be near it for a while. Should I get these guys? Seems like a great deal and I'm willing to nurse the RBTA back to...

My ten gallon tank is now unoccupied (RIP 10+ year old "I won this at the carnival" goldfish) and my sister wants to use it to upgrade her betta tank. I'm trying to advise her on stocking, but it's been a while since I had to stock a freshwater tank from the ground up. I'm planning on buying a...

So I found some flatworms in my 24 gallon Cardiff, and I know from online research that they'll breed like rabbits if left unattended. I also read they like low flow areas, and since I was going to ask if my tank had enough flow in it I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. --- 1) I...

Found two of these in a batch of snake polyps. They're red worms (or worm-like things) with white spikes. It was retreating into the rock when I took the picture. It's behind the large mushroom in the right side of the pic. Sorry for crappy cell pic, but I had to hurry off to work after...

I have no idea what this is, but I'm freaking out because it was NOT there a few hours ago and I've never seen it in the month we've had this rock. I mean, it's bigger than a quarter, how could I miss that?! It's brown with a ring of tentacles (no idea if there's a mouth), and a few of the...

I wanted to know if you can use frozen fish (not frozen fish food cubes) for homemade food or if it has to be fresh. I know definitely not canned and no spices etc. For adding garlic do I add bite size bits of whole garlic or get garlic juice and add that in? I was thinking a mix of shrimp...

I'm looking for something that can penetrate 24" of water and support LPS and softies at that level (and maybe SPS higher up), but is also dimmable. So far I found these: 120W with Bridgelux LEDs 120W with "same as Taotronic" LEDs (I'm leaning towards buying this one) or something like...

Not sure what this little guy is. He hitchhiked underneath a mushroom and macro algae covered rock (I'm aware of the bubble algae which I just saw heh). The tentacles are thicker at the base than the tips with three rows of them, and it's a brown color with white stripes; about two to three...

Hello! The name's Petrichor and I am going to be attempting my first reef tank build! I had a successful 40 gallon FOWLR with two anemone several years ago and eventually sold it when I moved to college. Since then I've learned so much more from that experience and also through reading...
