Ok, I wasnt able to get a picture that would give you any sort of clue as to what it looks like, so I'll try explaining it. It has the general body type of a medusa worm ( http://www.fantasyreef.com/database/index.php?p=getitem&db_id=1&item_id=44 ) but it's body is black with little white spots...

So this isnt fun at all... 5 of my 6 fish have died in the last week. Im at college and I just come home on the weekends and do water changes, while my dad feeds them during the week. Last weekend I noticed they looked a little iffy, so instead of the normal 5% I did a full 20% change. My dad...

Ok, so I'm away at college now... and I miss having my tanks around all the time. So Im strongly considering a Nano tank for my dorm. I dont want anything horribly fancy or expensive (I'm a college student aka: poor) So what Ive been thinking about doing is making a 5-1/2 gallon tank with zoos...

I found it a few days ago and couldnt get a picture, and now i finally did

Ok, my dad likes my tank a lot, and wants a large system in our new house we are building... I'm going to be setting it up and all, and doing maintenance on the weekends when im home from school. The only thing is, he wants a lot of fish, beyond the normal "recommendations" and Im wondering if...

Ok, my royal gramma has ich... and I want to run him through hyposalinity I just put him in the quarantine tank, at the normal salinity level, after giving him a short freshwater bath. I am running a small HOB filter with activated carbon, and a small heater on the tank. Now... from what I have...

Ok, I have a yellow watchman goby that came down with ich. Now, I give all my fish a close examination every day (they are right next to my desk... and i get bored a lot) I just spotted it today, pulled him out right away and placed him in a QT. Now, my question is... do you think the ich...

Ok, so I'm putting an Oceanic 178 gal reef ready tank in the new house my family is building... Trying to get a breakdown of the stuff I will need so I can plan out the costs ahead of time. So far I have no idea what to do as far as lighting goes... Ive been trying to use the database on...

ok... so i came home today and found the front half of a dead hermit crab on my liverock in my 10gal. I quickly went through the whole... i hope theres nothing wrong with my tank thing and then realized all my hermit crabs were still alive.... I know I have three larger hermits (1-1/2 inch...

ok so im sure bubbles on my live sand is a bad thing... probably some sort of chemical thing... what is it? and what can i do to fix it? TIA

Is there a good macro that someone would recommend that doesnt need 24 hr lighting? Right now I have caulerpa and I dont wanna risk the whole sexual whatever thing it goes through so I keep the light on 24 hrs... the problem with that is the tank is in my room and I dont have the fuge in a...

I know there are a lot of posts about this... but Im kinda stuck. I would like to find a natural way (not squirting something out of a baster at it) to eliminate aptaisia in my reef tank. I tried getting a peppermint shrimp... but i came home today to him cut in half and my hermit crabs...

ok so ive been looking for a lighting upgrade... and i was curious how much is too much? its a 10 gallon tank right now i have some star polyps... and Im not sure if i should put a 1x40 watt lamp or a 2x40. would 80 watts be too much? what would you guys recommend... the current usa satellite...

So i had several extra 10 gallon tanks laying around (my mom is a biology teacher... enough said) and i decided to have a little bit of fun. I set one up next to my 45 gallon and linked it to my fuge with a diy prefilter/syphon box kinda thing (managed to put about 1/2 gallon of saltwater on my...

ok, so my yellow tang started doing this thing yesterday, where he speeds and then rears up like a horse or something... and he hasnt stopped doing it... i dont know if something is wrong with him or if that is just his new trick or something... my water conditions- Nitrate- 0 Nitrite- 0 ph-...

ok so i have these little things swimming around in one of my tanks... they are smaller than like 1/2 mm and honestly the best way to describe how they look... is like sperm or something. Im kinda curious what they are, anyone have any ideas?

I have two 10 gallon tank hoods... one is a 50 watt incandescent and the other is a 17 watt NO... which would you recommend that I put over my 10 gallon fuge? (it only has about 5-6 gallons of water in it)

Ok so every website and the LFS has said that yellow tangs are herbivores.... yet when i feed my fish my yellow always eats the mysis shrimp, and totally ignores his seaweed and macroaglae... is this normal?

Ok, so after going to 3 different LFS around here, I still feel as though I havent gotten any good info on housing an anemone. Right now I have a 45 gallon with a 10 gallon sump/refugium, all my parameters are good and I was wondering if it is recommended that I get any special equipment (like a...

Ok, so I bought a diamond watchman goby and naturally the LFS had no idea what they were talking about when it came to feeding. I got home and looked at the profile for the fish and it says they eat brine shrimp etc. As of now I have managed to squirt some brine shrimp into the front of his...

Ok, I have a FOWLR tank (only a few small pieces of rock though) What can I do to keep my livesand clean looking? The tank is kind of a showpiece in my room and when theres nasty dirty looking sand, it just doesnt have the desired effect. It is a fairly fine 1-3mm sand. I have 2 nassarius snails...

Ok so im kinda new to saltwater fish- Ive had my percula and damsel for about 2 months now... and well you know how things go, theres two little one inch fish in a 45 gallon tank so I wanted to get something big and bright to make it more interesting. So I bought a yellow tang and had it in a 10...
