Over the weekend I saw a crab in my tank that I didn't know I had. It was approximately 1 1/2" or so length wise. The only way I can think he got in there was hitching on my LR when I did my setup. He must have survived about 2 months without me putting food in the tank. As soon as he realized...

My clown has gone missing from my tank! I've looked everywhere and no signs of him. I did install a AquaC remora skimmer with a surface skimmer box. I thought maybe he got sucked in (I don't see how but I looked anyway) and nothing. My other clown is in QT and the only other fish in the main...

I saw a small flat worm climbing out of a hole in my liverock and want to know if I should use flatworm exit on the tank? He wasn't very big YET but from what I've read here I don't want him to stay. The tank is 55g and has 80lbs of LR and a LS base. I have 2 clowns (1 atm other in QT) 1 redlip...

I will try to take a better pic and post it. I have a question. Most of the pics I have seen of Ich have fish with small white dots. My clown now has 2 white spots but both are large (pea size) and look more like something attached to it. Could this be something else? I have 1 other clown...

Got this guy 3 days ago.

There appears to be a white mass on one of the lower fins of one of my clown fish. Is this Ich or something else?

I have a 55gal with 80lbs of live rock and 2 small clown fish, several snails and crabs. I would like to add a puffer to the tank. What species can I put in a tank this size?

Started my cycle almost 2 weeks ago. The algae is very thick now. Should I clean the walls and or equipment? Or just let it keep growing?

I started my cycle a week and a half ago and started to see the same thing 2 days ago. Now the sand, LR etc is covered with it. I'm wondering when do we clean it from the tank walls and equipment? So far I haven't touched it....

Ok I got some test strips because there wasn't much else. Are these good to use? Here are the results: nitrate 20 nitrite 0 alkalinity 240 ph 8 (between the colors of 8 and 8.4..so maybe 8.2?) Ammonia 0 if I add more LR now do I do anything with the brown algae? Change all or part of the...

I just found that artice thanks. I'm heading out at lunch to get my test kits and will post results.

I set my 55gal up a week and a half ago with a bag of live sand and 50lbs of live rock. The only test I did was with the Hydrometer and let it run. I read some where that when you have brown algae covering everything that is a good sign? Well as of yesterday that what I have. I can't seem to...

I'm in the process of converting my old 55gal tank from fresh water to salt water. The tank is over 15 years old but there is nothing wrong with it other than the lid needs to be replaced. Because of its age they don't make them anymore. I bought a piece of clear acrylic 1/4" thick. They cut the...
