I am in the process of planning my new 60g cube - at the moment I have the tank, custom stand and sump (55g) and everything really except for the return pump. My question, or advice I am seeking is - the tank stand is set up to view on 3 sides, with the overflow in the centre of the back wall. I...

I found these two little guys when moving my tanks yesterday. My 55g has been set up for two years and I've always heard the clicking but I've never seen them before. I kind of thought they would be bigger? Having been there so long? Sorry the pics are so bad, he question is what shall I do with...

I am in the process of moving tanks today, wish me luck! So far I have moved all my live rock and live stock across town and am dripping them into their temporary homes. I am consolidating my tanks from a 55g fowler and 10g reef into two 20g long tanks for now. I have ordered a custom 2ft cube...

His has come up in my 10g nano reef - it has tripled in size in about two months. What is it?

I recently lost a torch coral to brown jelly, it only took a matter of days from when I first noticed small amounts which I would siphon off daily as it got worse and a couple of fresh water dips in between. I have never experienced it before and was wondering what causes it? So far no other...

Hi all, I have just set up a 10g nano and would love some advice. This is not my first salt tank - I have a 55g that's been up for over 2 years. I have put a internal filter on it for now (and filled it with live rock rubble) but I really wanted to run this without the lid (as seen in the pic)...

Ok salt folks, I have a 55g reef that has been running smoothly for 2 years now using the Berlin method - two powerheads at either end and a tunze skimmer (rated for 150g) I have been on holidays for a month and have had my lovely sister doing my weekly water changes and maintenance for me and...

I am on holiday in Japan and just had to share this, I couldn't believe it! This tank is outside a restaurant (yes,on the street) my guess is the tank is 2" by 2" by maybe 1-1.5" deep. There must be at least 100 blue damsels, I counted no less than 10 full size blue chromis, over 10 clowns, a...

Well after two years of having my 55 g reef I have lost my first fish, I mean, I have literally lost my scooter blenny. I have checked around the tank (In case he jumped) and haven't seen him for 3 days now which is strange. Water is stable and checking daily for a spike but nothing. Question...

Or pineapple fish. I have the opportunity to purchase one of these. Live aquaria says 50g or larger - I have a 55. I would appreciate opinions on this, if anyone has ever had one before? It says its peaceful and its mates would be a pair of percs, a purple firefish, a gold stripe cardinal, a...

I have no luck with Duncan's. I have frogspawn, torch, star polyps, pipe organ, leathers even a sun coral doing great in my tank but just can't get my Duncan's to open! They are in a high/med light area with medium flow. They are not near anything else. Params are in check and its an established...

Can someone ID this coral for me? I always thought it was a pipe organ, It does have a purple skeleton and fully retracts at night time.

Caught this guy in port Phillip bay, we put him back but anyone know what it is? Was about 30cm...

I have been running my 55g for over a year with only loads of live rock, a couple of power heads and a protein skimmer. I am fully stocked with 7 small/medium sized fish and lately some beginner corals. All is well. My friend has a 2ft aquarium that she said I can have. So here is my question -...

I have noticed over the last few weeks my zoa colonies have not been opening fully. I keep loads of other soft corals and nothing else seems affected. Established tank so no amm or nitrites present, nitrate .05 weekly 20% PWC. I have, however noticed that my scooter blenny spends most of his day...

Anyone know how long they can stay under the sand bed? I have 2 of these guys and they both went under about 2 weeks ago, I fished them out (afraid they were dead and decaying) but no they both alive. Stayed on top for a day then went back under. It's been another week. Anyone else have an...

Hi all, thought it was about time to show off some pics. Tank is about a year and a half on. Simple set up with 2 x powerheads, a skimmer, about 55kg's of live rock, running LEDs. Stock - mated pair of black and white percula clowns, a Bennett's Sharpnose Puffer, Scooter Blenny, Purple...

Just wanted to get opinions as to whether I can add any more fish. I have a 4ft long 200L (about 55g) I have had 2 x b/w percs, a spotted puffer and a scooter blenny for about a year and a month ago added a decora firefish and a gold stripe cardinal. Am I fully stocked or have a got one more...

Hi all, I would have post this in the freshwater section but there doesn't seem to be a place for it? My friend found this crazy thing in his freshwater tank. Any ideas? (I know a few of you keep fresh too) It was above the waterline...

Hi all, I bought this piece yesterday for the zoas and this morning noticed the front section of rock opens and closes! Just slightly tho, first pic open second closed. Thoughts?

Hi all, my BTA has bleached in the last week or so. It's been in the tank for about 7months and has been happy and healthy even doubled in size! I have a 200L tank, use the 54w 4x t5ho (bought new with the nem) params are stable with nitrates never more than 5, weekly water changes. No new...

Hard to ID but I have just discovered a rather large crab in my one year old tank. I have found 2 other carcasses in the last week. I have never bought any inverts as I have a fat happy puffer fish. (Hence the other deaths) should I let it be? Hard to get a pic when I had bait and tweezers in...

Bit hard to see I know, the weirdest thing about it is when someone comes near it disappears in a flash then moments later appears through a tiny hole in some rock. Its white and feather like around the outside, about the size of a 10c piece. Only changes recently in the tank was the addition of...

Hello all, thought I would kick things of with a question. I have a 200litre salt water tank which is just coming into its first year. I have 2 black clowns, a sawtooth blenny and a puffer (and some clean up crew to sort the algae) to ought I have noticed for the first time a strange white ring...
