Hi all! Just wondering what your personal preferences are on major over haul type jobs. I want to remove the remainder of my CC, not much really, but it requires moving most of the LR I have. Also, I want to reaquascape the LR and possibly add some more LS. IF I want to do all this is one...

So some very interesting things have been going on in the tank lately. At sunday bar-b-que one of our guests sitting at the tank noticed a little worm guy. When I went to check it out I noticed he was coming out of a piece of live rock, he was really small and was half pink hald black...he had...

Hello all!!! Just wondered if any one else is keeping a coral banded shrimp. I have one in my 55 gallon tank and I'm just wondering if he really is the best for my system. It seems to me that I could have one of him...or 15-20 of another kind, like peppermint. Just wondering what you guys...

Hello all. Just wanted to ask if any of you guys with black spiny sea urchins have ever seen them "excrete" anything... Lemme explain, we have a black spiny sea urchin that we've had for about 3 months or so. Lately, I have seen him do something that I've never seen before. In two different...

Has anyone else encountered their urchins killing snails? I have a pushpin urchin and a black spiny black urchin. Yesterday when I came home from work, both urchins were sharing a snail. I was not aware that these guys can eat snails. Now I am not sure if the snail was already dead and they...

Just a general question: Does everyone's fish act as if their are starving? My red firefish, banded goby, and scissortail goby all act like they are starving any time I feed them. I don't want to over feed but I don't want to starve them either. I feed every other day frozen brine and mysis...

Hello All. Just a question about my engineer goby, he seems to have developed some growths around his mouth, they are white and look like pimples. He is eating fine, although he swims away when I come near the tank, so I can't get a really good look at the bumps. Levels are as follows...

Hello All. I just bought a QT (10 gal.) to go along with my 55 gal. tank. The QT came with every thing included (pump, filter). I am not sure as to whether I should keep the QT up and running and let it cycle like a regular tank (I bought some small pieces of live rock for it, they are...

Hello, my damsel has a long string of white "stuff" hanging from around his anal fin. I just noticed it last night? He is acting fine, eating well and everything. Any ideas? TIA.

Can you guys give me some advise on a good lighting schedule to keep for my fish friends. When I leave in the morning, I usually turn the lights on, and at night I turn both of them off. Do they need a better schedule. Also, is there any harm in it being completely dark, at night it is pitch...

My sister gave me one of those large conch shells. It basically looks like this: I want to put this in my tank because I think it would be a cool place for my fishies to hang out. Just a few questions though. 1. Do you think that stuff (fish/hermits etc.) can get caught in there and not...

Hello All :D I am taking my damsels back, they are just too mean for me...and I'm worried they will stress out my coral banded shrimp after enough time. I have three damsels now: a 3 striped (who has white spots on him, my LFS keeps giving me sick fish!) a domino and a clear one. I want...
