I have a few a these things in my tank (one growing on my candy cane's stem). They are red color, one is light and one is real dark. They look like worms with a hard shell that grows in a spiral. I cant take a pic of it cuz it is to small for my camera. Any ideas or sights with pics i can...

I live in Harrisonburg and find the corals for sale around here to be kind of crazy. The stores don’t supply the corals with adequate light so i am often skeptical as to whether corals are "closed up" or near death. I could drive to NOVA and look at quality frags for as low as $5, where as...

This was labeled "Zooanthid Coral" at the LFS. Can anyone tell if this is true and what kind from my crappy pic? Description: Red with little polyp looking things but ive never seen any of these open so i have no clue what it really looks like or if they even open up. Woman at LFS said they...

I am considering upgrading my 20H tank from just 65 watts to something more. I currently have the 24" 65 watt coralife light fixture. Would it be possible for me to rip this thing out of its encasing so that I might retrofit it into a canopy. If i do this i plan on purchasing a 65 watt retro...

After having my tank set up for 2 months now, i just made a new discovery, LOL. For the longest time I only thought i had 2 feather dusters in my 20 gallon. I just now counted 11. But there are also these little white things everywhere (walls and rock) that look like they could be baby...

When one of my hermits was trying out new shells today I saw that it has this thing on its back. This thing was green and looked like a bunch of bubbles. It reminded me of an anenome or a bunch of eggs (it was fairly quick so i didnt get to look at it well). Is it possible that this is a...

Hi I was wondering if someone could explain how to set up diy lighting as far as wiring and supplies are concerned. Parts i know of are end caps and ballast but dont know what else is needed and how all the pieces will fit together. Thanks!

I need some advice. One of my blue leg hermits just attacked another, kicked him out of his shell and stole it. The shell less hermit then tried to retake his shell but failed and had one of his two big claws ripped out in the fight. What should i do? I thought these types of hermits were...

I just build an overflow for my tank... after cuttign and rebuilding i how the following model It runs about 155-175 gallons per hour. Is this enough for a 20 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump?

There is something in my LR but I have no clue as to what it is. I cant get a good pic of it, but if i do ill upload it. It is a red looking worm type thing, but i cant see the entire thing so it might not be a worm (possible an extension of a massive creature :) lol). It is long and red...

Hi. I just stared my first SW tank, a 20 gallon. I was wondering if anyone knows if this item is worth purchase? http://www.aquariumguys.com/aquaclear25.html

I was wondering when I can add LR. I just starting cycling my tank with a shrimp and wasnt sure if i should add LR now or wait a week. Ive heard its good to cycle your tank with the LR but I wasnt sure if the ammonia and nitrite spikes would kill of the LR. Also, how many hrs a day should I...

My local home depot only sells one brand of white sand, so I wanted to know if anyone if this sand is any good? It is "Mason's Mortar & Plaster Sand" by Pakmix.

Hi. I’m working on my first SW tank, and I just encountered something that I found odd. I have had the water in my tank for about 4 days now. The first day I added the salt, my hydrometer read it as > 1.030. After some water changes, I got it down to 1.022 and want to keep it there...
