I'm not sure if i'm having a problem or not? I have a few species of sponge that have come on my LR, however, the one seems to be growing at a supersonic rate. I've noticed that the sponge has grown my LR together forming a wall, also the sponge has made a 3 inch ledge below one of my LR...

I've been doing the same thing for 6 months now, a 10 gal PWC every week the exact way...same amount of salt to water ratio. I've been using Purple Up for a few months now, and every 3 days i add a drop full of Marine Snow...there are a few stalks of xenia that have started to SLOWLY grow back...

Come on...nobody else has anything to say to help me? The xenia and shrooms have been in my tank the longest too even, for about 7 months now...hope that helps!

ok, for the past two days i've watched my xenia wittle down to 0.5inch stalks and they do have their arms out but not fully stretched and they are NOT scrunched up like they do with a hermit picks at them..they were about 5 inches tall and spread out pulsing in the current two days ago - also my...

i recently purchased a black sun polyp coral..all water params are at 0 except nitrates are at 5ppm, salinity 1.025, ph 8.4...i've had this coral for a week now and the polyps have not opened. i tried the 2 liter bottle target feeding to bring the polyps out and it didnt work, i used marine snow...

I read many different things so i was wondering to get some opinions - I have a pair of tankraised ocellaris, however i also have a pair of captive ocellaris (had to get them i felt sorry for them at the LFS) Odd thing is, the one captive and one tankraised have kinda paired up and the other two...

Ok to make a long story short, I am housing a very small hovercraft/helmet cowfish for a friend. My friend who has a 120g is moving into a 180g and wants me to babysit the cowfish until the 180g is ready. The thing is that it was a "spur of the moment" purchase and he knows nothing about them...

i didnt see a skimmer, do you have one?

from what i understand, take a yellow tang for example, the fish will eat everything that floats by and in the process push his food out WITHOUT fully digesting it, so in turn they dont really get the nutritional value from their food. They basically get half of what they need...if that makes...

I actually had 2 peppermints killed by my pistol shrimp, and I thought to myself - Pistols are supposed to be harmless. Well I did more research and found that due to their poor eyesight, they always feel threatened. I actually observed one of the peppermints walk by his burrow and get "shot"...

i wasnt really planning on doing this, but for future reference possibly a small 20 gal or nano plumbed into a main system either in the basement or 1st floor...thanks for the info though

i was just curious if anyone has ever had an aquarium on the 2nd story of a house and actually ran plumbing the whole way to the basement for a sump or refugium? if so, what size return pump would be needed?

I cant even fathom his stats on a decent team with a line and a fullback, let alone even if he played for maybe 5 more years than he did! :D

ok, as much as i despise Bettis he is a good runningback but NOT a GREAT one. He is still overrated and personally i dont believe he should go in the Hall but that wont happen. He never dominated a game, the Pitt defense did. And he was always surrounded by an above average team. Jchillin look...

Credit should be given to the unsung heros of football - the linemen. Not some overweight runningback
