I have been trying to combat a serious rise in Nitrates over the past two days. I have only one thought of what may have caused it, but need some advice. Two days ago I started seeing elevated Nitrates, maybe 10-15. Yesterday that number had climbed to 20 so I did a 10g water change. I currently...

A few weeks ago, I purchased a small hippo tang for my 75g tank. I did not QT right away and within a day I had spots showing up. I immediately took her out of that tank and moved to QT. I started using Ich-Attack in the QT to try and clear it up. After about a week I found her lying on the...

I know there is a place with picture of many of the tiny things we often find on the glass of our tanks, but I cannot find that, so I'm asking here. I'm sure someone knows what these are. This morning, I noticed on one end of my tank, that the glass is covered with these tiny little white...

A few weeks ago I received a Purple Sea Blade Gorgonian as a freebie frag with an order of hermits and snails that I bought. After putting it in my tank it opened up and seemed ok. Polyp extension was nice and I even got some cool pictures. I had to go away for business last week. The tank was...

Yesterday I got a couple of frags for free with an order of hermits and snails. The frags came in a bag labled "gorg and starz". The gorg is a nice purple sea whip. The other, I can't figure out. Here's pics: Sea Whip The mystery frag:

OK, so for the last month, I have had this small anemone which I bought from my LFS. They sold it to me as a Bubble Tip Anemone (even says so on the receipt). It split this weekend and my clowns have shown no interest in hosting in it. One of them gave it a try yesterday but scurried off to the...

I have a small greenish BTA that I bought about a month ago. I had added it to my preivous tank, a 60g hex, which I replaced two weeks ago with a 75g. It seemed to transition to the new tank well, but for the last week it has not been eating. When I looked today, one side was really deflated...

I awoke to look in my tank this morning and find this: And another below it: Any ideas? It just appears to be this thin film stuck to the glass. At first I thought my glass was cracking. 8O

Six days ago I migrated from a 60g hex to a standard 75g tank. Today I awoke to find my water had suddenly become very cloudy. Not so bad that I can't see the fish or the back of the tank, but a very noticable haze in the water. When I had the 60g tank I never saw this. What I am reading makes...

When I first set up my saltwater tank last year and put in my LR to cycle with I started finding these little "tubes" of fecal matter collecting in the tank. Every day I would look in the tank and find a new tube. They were all accumulating in the same spot in the tank. Here are pics: The...

I just joined this forum after looking around for some more information places. I have been in the saltwater hobby for a few months now and have had a number of freshwater tanks over the years. I wanted to introduce myself, talk about my tank and experiences and get opinions, suggestions etc...
