I just bought myself a CPR Bak Pak 2+ and will be picking it up tomorrow to replace a SeaClone piece of crap. Now, my tank and stand will not accommodate a sump, so until now I have been running only a canister filter with fibrous pads, bio balls and ceramic biomedia in it. With the new...

I have 4 angels in a 70 gallon community tank that I have raised from dime sized babies. I noticed today that there is a collection of eggs on my filter tube that I assume might belong to a couple of them based upon the fact that they are hanging close and shooing away anyone else who gets...

Following all the advice I have received here (best you can afford, dimmable, avoid the fancy bells and whistles in favour of better wattage per chip), my new LED lights are en route. Understandably, I am anxious to get them set up once I receive them, so here are my questions... In order...

I had just turned the lights on and these little guys were hanging out just above the sand bed in huge numbers. I did a bit of research and I think they are likely pods. They mostly retreated back into the sand and rock once the tank brightened. They move reasonably quickly on the glass, and...

I have a beautiful Duncan with 6 mature heads. At the base of every head are 6-10 babies that are growing quickly, many already have central discs about the size of a dime. However, they are all basically in the shadow of their "mother" heads. I am concerned that these new heads will be...

I did some tank maintenance a couple of days ago, and since the have found some pretty interesting inhabitants. I will share what I think they might be and hopefully you can set me straight. I apologize for the picture quality. Feather duster worm (round with rays coming from a centre disc)...

I was given a bunch of equipment for my tank, and among the gifts was a SeaClone protein skimmer. However, it is a "biggie" - the one intended for a 150gal tank. My tank is only 36 gallons - is it possible to "over skim" my tank, or is this safe for me to add? Allison Freshwater fish-head...

I have just been offered a T5HO 24" 4 bulb fixture for my tank - will this be a good interim option until I get a 165W dimmable unit? I have a 36 gal tank currently. Allison Freshwater fish-head for more than 20 years now, but salt water newbie.

I am sure this is as simple as pie, but things are kind of crazy at home now, so I am turning to you... A dear friend of mine knows that I have moved into salt water and decided to "buy a present". Kind thought, and the LFS just went ahead and sold it to her (although they are holding it for...

I have only recently stocked my tank, I have 2 true perculas, orange spot goby, Cardinal, 3 peppermint shrimp, bumblebee snails, blue leg hermits, cerith snails, a small Kenya tree and a Mexican turbo. Water is stable and everyone is happy, but I have just hit an unexpected road block. My...

I have a 36 gal newly set up salt water bow front tank (30"x20"x14") cycling right now (well, it has cycled, but isn't populated yet). I have 40 lbs of aragonite sand and 35 lbs of dry rock (with "rubble" purchased from the LFS to seed the rock - upon which came a now evicted and deceased...

I am brand new to salt water (been running fresh water tanks for a couple of decades now). I am cycling my tank now - primarily base rock and aragonite, with some live rock and sand to seed it all... and I found this hitchhiker. It looked to me like aiptasia, so needless to say, it is long...
