I love LR! A couple of days ago I found something white crawling on my glass. I looked closer and it appeared to be a baby brittle star fish about 1/2 an inch across. It crawled across my sand and then into the rock to hide. I also am finding a multitude of baby snails both turban shelled...

How often does your shrimp molt? My peppermint seems to molt every 3 weeks or so...

I was looking into my tank two nights ago and saw my carpenter breathing kind of funny and with a web like cocoon around him in a secluded area and it kind of freaked me out. All water parameters are fine (except nitrates are higher than I would like 10). Did some research and found that...

I have been dosing Kent marine calcium additive (from the marine start kit) and seem to be stuck right around 360 ppm for the longest time. Any ideas why this might be the case? I am keeping my dKH between 8-10.

Got a prizm skimmer on ebay for 41$ Minor cosmetic challenges to the unit, but nothing that will affect it's functionality. Are there any enhancements that could be done to improve it's skimming ability or any tricks that I need to know about the skimmer?

What is the time frame that I need to hold my breath regariding my Xenia? I got them yesterday at the LFS and acclimated them over an hour time frame, after floating them. They starting pulsing almost right away and this morning they look fully inflated and are pulsing pretty good. Does this...

Couldn't find a conversion on google for KH to dKH and wanted to confirm my conversion of 190 PPM KH is equal to 10.64 dKH? If so I think this is a good range?

I have been having problems with elevated nitrate levels (20 ppm) and wanted to reduce them... I had done a number of 10 percent water changes on the 32 gallon hex with little effect (not significantly noticable on the color chart). On Saturday morning I thought I had lost my new Flasher wrasse...

I am having a hard time deciding when the pink is turned to maroon... Is it me or is this test too subjective?

Got some PODS in my tank finally. They appear to be copepods according to my research on the internet. I was a little concerned to see these tiny things on the glass of my tank (wanted to be sure they weren't some sort of parasite). And apparently they are supposed to be beneficial to the...

Anyone selling frags in the Dallas area?

Need a skimmer and don't have alot of money... I was thinking a used Prizm or Seaclone would be in my price range... THanks, Mike

I was wondering if anyone has gone to the local super market deli and bought fish or shrimp that they were ready to get rid of and use it to feed their fish. I was thinking about talking to the managers and getting perhaps some shrimp or salmon and then blenderize it and then freeze in small...

I just completed a water change this past Friday... Today I was testing the water and noticed my SG was 1.026-1.027 (depending on which reading I was doing with the deep six). I had initially had the tank at 1.025 and I was wondering if I should leave things be or drain about a gallon out and...

I bought a tree coral last friday. I had to move it a couple times in my tank (snails kept on moving it) and finally decided to plant it in the sand base near a light source. I noticed since day two that the main trunk and limbs will retract and then later open up again at various intervals...

I was thinking of going to my local grocery store and asking about the fish/shrimp that they were no longer going to keep (throw away). Taking it home and putting it in a blender and freezing them in cubes or small portions to feed to the tank. I bet one could get the fish/shrimp for next to...

I bought this the other day at the lfs and can't remember what kind of coral is this? I know they told me it was easy to keep which was important to me...

For lace rock to become live rock once it cohabits with live rock?

I should be getting my orbit pc light today (40 watt with a lunar light). Should I keep the lunar light on all the time or run it on a separate timer?

Was wondering, how soon should one put a cleanup crew in a tank after cycling?

I was into saltwater (heavy) about 10 years ago (two tanks, both 55 gallon regular) and I never recall a cycle taking less than 3-4 weeks. I have had my tank up now for a little over a week now and my ammonia is dropping, nitrites and nitrates are rising. I had anticipated ammonia to continue...

I I was trying to figure out what to do about lighting (I don't have alot of money to spend). So I went to my local home depot and bought a grow light spot light that you can hang on the wall. I took the incandescent light out of the fixture and then I found a daylight fluorescent bulb rated...
