I have been away from the forums for many months, but a drastic tank crash has brought me back today. I have been fighting cyano for a few weeks now. I finally broke down and used the Ultralife Red Slime remover. I had used this product once before with great luck. After adding this to my...

I have been dosing my tank with DT's once a week. My question is should I turn of my skimmer for a couple hours after feeding to prevent it from removing the phytoplankton?

Ok, while reading this <<thread>>, I decided to purchase a sponge for my coral beauty. I then started investigating the species to discover that there is conflicting information as to whether it is safe of not for an aquarium. Some sites say they are guaranteed to die and will release a bad...

I'm not totally happy with my aquascaping. I am going to post a few pics of my tank and see if anybody has any better ideas on placement of corals. The tank is a 45G tank with xenia, zoanthids, leathers, and mushrooms. I also have a sponge I purchased both for looks and for my coral beauty...

What type of leather is this?

A guy locally was getting rid of some of his frags. I got 2 different types of leathers from him. On type (I think a toadstool, gonna post in ID forum) is doing great. The other is not. When I put it in the tank yesterday, the little buds came out after about an hour in the tank. Today...

I've had a purple firefish for about 4 months now. It has always done fine, always out while lights are on, hiding when the lights go out. Today, it hid under some rocks until about 2:00, 6 hours after the lights come on. I could see it through some rocks just resting underneath a rock, not...

The first attachment appears to be some type of polyp that came with some LR I recently added. When I put the rock in the tank, I found them floating in the water column, they then attached to their own pieces of rock. Anybody got a more positive id. I will say the "fingers" glow green under...

I'm selling my moonlight on ebay. <<Click Here>> to view the auction. As the description states, I used it for 3 months before I bought a lightstrip with moonlights built-in. If this violates forum rules by posting an auction, just let me know and delete the thread.

I finally got some pics of my tank up on my site. Check out the pictures along with a couple of videos. http://www.rubikspuzzles.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=Fish

What is <<this>>. It came on this piece of LR and I never knew what it was.

I've had my 45G FOWLR setup for 6 months now. My livestock selection has been 2 False Percs, a Royal Gramma, a Coral Beauty, and a Firefish. I have had 2 peppermint shrimp, 4 Nassarius snail, 20+hermit crabs, an Emerald Crab, and 10 turbo snails. About 3 weeks ago, I notice one of my...

I have 10G tank at my work that had a female betta in it. After having her for a year, she died (from old age I guess since most bettas only live a year and a half or so. I want to restock this tank without fish. I had a bamboo in this tank for a few months and loved it but during it's 3rd...

OK, I have a 45 FOWLR that has been running for a few months now. I have 2 juvenile false percs, a royal gramma, and a young coral beauty. I can't decide if I will have room for a purple firefish in a few months or not. I think I could, but I would be at my pushing the limit to the edge. I...

I have a 45g with a royal gramma in it. I have seen others profiles here where they have both in the tank together. I just want to verify that the gramma will not bother the purple firefish. I have plenty of LR and caves so they should be able to have their own hiding places without much...

I have 2 featherdusters in my tank. One I have had for about 4 months and it does fine and stays out most of the time. A month ago I added a new one and it is acting strange. To get things started, when I brought him home from the LFS, I acclimated it and then put it in my tank. The odd...

Ok, first off, I know I bought the wrong protein skimmer, Red Sea Berlin Airlift 60. But my wife will leave me if I spend any more money on this tank. I've done a protein skimmer-less nano for 6 months so I'm not too new to marine aquariums, just new to protein skimmers. Of course if I turn...

I see this little guy mostly at night. He came with some LR. It has a whitish colored foot. It appears to have a purple tint to his dark shell. It has a snout like a nassarius snail. Anybody have a clue what it is and is it safe?
