can i just use a razor to cut it off the rocks? will any harm come from just ripping it out basically? its seriously grown to 4 times the size i bought it in less than 2 months, and i think its blocking the light to other corals and it just looks crazy.

I have a huge xenia in my tank (ill have pictures up real soon!) , and its close to the back wall. Ive noticed a branch if it has almost completley seperated its self from the main part and is now on the glass. Any chance i can safely remove it and give it to one of my friends? or will taking it...

My skimmer is making my water filled with tiny bubbles, does anyone know how to make them go away? i dont think they are bad, but ive had the skimmer running for 2 months now and its well past the "break in" period where it says the bubbles are normal. Anyone know what to do?

I havent seen my Flame Hawk in 2 days, he is ususally the most vicious eater and i see him all over my tank. Do i have to try and find his body if he's dead because of the amonia spike that might result or will the clean up crew take care of him?

My aqua C remora skimmer has been in my tank for over 2 months now, and its still producing micro bubbles like crazy. It says in the manual that it is normal for the bubbles to be there for 2-3 weeks while the skimmer has its "break in" period. I dont think the bubbles are a problem for my...

this was on my friends glass when he turned on the light. is it good, bad, harmless?

I wanted to pick up a bubble tip anemone for my clowns to host to (hopefully...) but i read up on them, and it says they can sting corals. does this mean they cant be kept with corals at all? or that they should be kept away from them? but they also can move, so are should i worry about that...

I have a 29 gal tank that has an O. Clown, a flame hawk, and a sixline wrasse. My hawk picks on the wrasse everyonce and a while, but now i am starting to see the physical damage on one side of the wrasse. It has pink spots on the side that look like tiny bits of flesh were bitten. hes still...

Whats the hardiest, easiest coral to start of with? im getting a new light in a few months, and i wanted to try out some easy coral (if there is such a thing) that doesnt require too much work. Any suggestions??

My tank is finally in full swing (i'll have pictures up soon hopefully) and I just bought a flame hawk. He isnt eating the pellets that my LFS swears he loved. After about 3 days he still just watches them fall to the sand for the hermits and snails to eat. I got him some freeze dried shrimp...

this is my roomates needle fish eating, its sweet. the commentary is done by my roomates friends. please enjoy.

My tank has been cycling for almost a month now. i have 35 lbs of dry rock, 15 live, and 40 lbs of dry sand. I tested the water only once about a week and a half in and noticed some ammonia (dont remeber the exact reading). I took a sample today to my LFS and this lady said that since i had...

ok so maybe they arent attacking. but i turned on the light late tonight and saw about 7 or 8 of these bristly brown worms about an inch long. I couldnt get a good picture because my camera wouldnt focus on them. They are brown with white heads (or tails maybe?) My tanks been cycling for a...

Im looking at putting in 2 Maxi-jet Phs (one at each back corner, pointing towards eachother at the front of the tank, correct?) About how powerful should these be? ive seen the MP400, MP600, 900 and 1200. Will the 400's work? it says 106g/h for the MP400, is that good enough when i have two...

Hey all. Im still a good 2 or 3 weeks away from my tank being fully cycled, but im just getting an idea of what to get. At the suggestion of my LFS, im going to start off with a yellow tail damsel (besides the inverts) and trade it back in eventually to get a pair of Clown fish. What are some...

I have been cycling my tank for a week now, and all the live rock i had in there has become brown and looks dead. I also noticed this white moldy looking stuff on the dry rock i have in there. Is this all part of the cycling process or have i done something wrong? Its a 29 gal with about 40...

I just bought another 6 lbs of LR today (making my total 36) for my 29 gal tank. I noticed that there is a small hermit crab and a bumblebee snail that came on the rock. My tank has only been cycling for 3 days now, is there anything i can do to help these guys through the cycle? can i keep...

Im setting up a 29 gal tank right now, my first marine tank. I already have the salt water in, 40 lbs of dry sand, about 25 lbs of dry rock and 5 lbs of live rock. Ive read up plenty on cycling my tank, so im going to wait about a month and check on the water every week or so. Any tips on...
