It's nice and sunny here in Hampton Roads today. We lost power at 8 yesterday morning but power crews were on top of it and it was on within 2 hours. Luckily we have power today and all is well. My dad didn't fare so well though. He had minor flooding in the house over on Mill Creek across from...

[Moderator edit]. There probably aren't any extension cords left in all of Hampton Roads either. The stores are bare. I'm thinking I'll be okay. My temp shouldn't get too low and I can easily keep it from getting too hot and I'll do water changes if need be.

I'm in Hampton, VA with no generator. I'm hoping my tank will be stable enough without power for (what I'm estimating to be) a week or more.

To me it seems like they don't fix the problem. I've already given a fish funeral, so I can't take the fish back. There are signs on all their tanks stating that all Saltwater Fish are non-refundable -- no exceptions. That should probably have been a crystal clear warning. I'm taking this as a...

I'm not exactly sure how long the fish was at the store. I know it wasn't more than 3 days as I had gone to the LFS on Friday and saw one Coral Beauty and I then made the purchase on Monday when they had 3. I knew I would be taking a risk buying a new arrival, but I thought it would develop Ich...

I'm thinking it must have been stress. I've bought a starfish, snails, crab and shrimp from the same LFS but this was my first fish purchase from them. Every time I go in there, I see a number of dead fish in the tanks. I didn't see any dead fish today, though, and I decided to make the purchase...

On the bottle it says for Fresh or Saltwater use. So I don't think it was that.

He was about 3 inches

I bought a Coral Beauty today. I drip acclimated for 3+ hours and added it to my QT tank. An hour later, I checked on him, and he was swimming back and forth across the front of the tank, in the middle of the water column - seemingly fine. An hour after that, I check on him, and he was dead on...

I've mostly read to never expose a starfish to air because of air pockets possibly becoming stuck in the arms. I was wondering how true this is. I remember going to the state aquarium and being able to hold different types of starfish, fully exposing them to air. Also, since CC Starfish enjoy...

Noticed small white tubules in the same area today. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

It has a stem coming from the rock, so that led me to think it was Aiptasia.

So, I noticed some white flatworms in my tank a while back, I've got about 3 or 4, and from what I read, they should be harmless. I just saw him going to town on the bug things and eating them up.

It's been running about 5 or 6 weeks. The coloration appeared almost overnight and I expect it to go away. I'm not using tapestry so im not too worried about that. The mite looking things have me raising a brow, however. I only have a few turbos and a CC starfish right now, so if it is a...

Sorry for the duplicate picture
