    Gadget to attach RO/DI

    I am looking for the piece that gets attached to a 1/8 inch hose (with is the water input on my new RO/DI filter) to make it able to screw onto a standard water hose fitting. I have the water hose coupling on my kitchen faucet. I want to attach my RO/DI there and make water then remove it when...

    Aptasia on coral

    I have aptasia on a trumpet coral and ordinarily I would use JJ but I'm afraid to put it so close to a coral I don't want to hurt. What should I do to get rid of the pest?

    Something red

    This took about a month to get this size and now it has sprouted in a new place. I'm wondering what it is and if it is harmful.

    Zoanthid Anorexia?

    My beautiful new zoos look like fashion models. The longer they are in the tank the taller and thinner they get! I'm no longer sure they are going to survive and I have only had them about two weeks.. Anybody know a solution? They are high in my tank - under 260 watts of light.. 10k PC and...

    unstoppable Xenia

    I bought Pulsing Xenia on a piece of slate about 3 months ago. The slate is about the size of the palm of my hand.. When I got the rock you could see plenty of rock and the Xenia was kind of scattered across it. The Xenia loves my tank and now it has overgrown the original rock and reaches off...

    pvc shelves

    I am building shelves for my prop tank (using pvc, egg crate and cable ties) I cannot find the perfect pvc fitting in the size I want. I wonder if anyone knows where I can get it. What I want is a "4 way elbow" for 1/2 inch pipe. I found this fitting in a 1" size - but I don't want to use 1"...

    RO/DI Opinion

    I'm trying to choose an RO/DI system and I don't know the first thing about them. My tanks evaborate about 1 or 2 gallons a day. Any advice on what I might need or which brands are most reliable for the output I need?

    BTA injured foot

    Nick's Bubble Tip Anenome seems to have cut or torn his foot. He is brand new in the tank but there are no known preditors in residence. We think it might have happened at the LFS when they pulled him off a rock to bag him. The torn place is so deep you can see into it and see the underside of...

    new hitch hiker

    This thing appeared yesterday and has gotten fuller and more defined overnight. It started off looking like a blob of white sponge and now it is becoming translucent and is shaped just like an onion-dome and clearly has an opening on top. It looks like the "bubble tip" of the bubble tip...

    nitrites and corals

    I know I need to have no nitrites in my fish tank but I am starting up the Nano for corals only. The tank is still empty but nitrites are at "point one".. All other parameters are okay. Salinity: 1.025 Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 1 pH: 8.1 Are these okay to put coral frags in? (polythoa and zoos)

    Xenia control

    My Xenia has grown off the original piece of rock and brached over to connect onto a large rock nearby. I want to separate the two rocks by cutting the Xenia branch that connects the two. Can I just reach in the tank with a sharp edge and do that? If so - can I use surgical scizzers? I'm afraid...

    Return of the (coral) body snatchers...

    Somebody in my tank is munching the GSP. I suspect the Sally Lightfoot crab but I have recently added a bunch of snails and have blue and red leg hermits also.... Any ideas? I don't think any of my fish could have made such a visable impact overnight. But the rainsford goby and scooter blenny...

    tank idea

    I have a 24g aqua-pod sitting idle. I was thinking of setting it up with an anenome and clown and perhaps one other fish. Any opinions on whether or not the 24 is big enough for that? Ideally I would have the anenome, a pair of clowns, and a yellow clown goby. (I LOVE those fish!) LR and some...

    Repeated Tank Overflows

    Okay, I'm ready to admit something is wrong with the design of my system.... I've had THREE overflows in the last two weeks and I can't figure out why. Each time, everything is running along fine until suddenly (for what appears to be no reason at all) one of the tanks begins to fill faster than...

    CPR Overflow Opinions please

    I have 2 (55gallon) tanks, each of which has a CPR Overflow box on it. In the span of the past two weeks both boxes have failed and one has failed twice. Is there some secret to making these things work? I don't know what causes the boxes to stop draining - they just stop... Twice I have come...

    power heads

    I am amazed by the number and strength of power heads people put in their tanks. I have a 55g that is fed by a Mag 1800 from a 15 gallon sump below. I have tried a Maxi-Jet 1200 and the Maxi-Jet 600 in the display and abandoned them both beleiving them to be a bit too much for the environment...

    something growing on rock

    These things appeared overnight. I have a bit of bubble algae in another spot so I guess this could be more of that.. But I also have had the sudden appearance of two different kinds of nudies or flatworms (not sure which). I had a small aptasia recently also. (which I killed with Joes Juice...

    24 gal AquaPod (south florida)

    I have a very nive AquaPod with matching glass front stand. Used on;y for 3 months (before I moved into bigger tanks). Lights, filtration, pump all standard and functional. System has been thoroughly cleaned but back wall of tank shows several small, faint spots of calcificated algae. I can...

    after aptasia dies

    Do I need to try and suction out the debris of a teeny-tiny aptasia? I used Joes Juice on a tiny aptasia that had appeared in the crook of a tonga branch rock. The aninal was smaller than the end of my pinkie finger... It took less than one cc of juice to dissolve the thing entirely - right...

    Leather with legion?

    This morning I got a good look for the first time at something that has appeared on my yellow leather a few days ago. When I first saw it, it seemed to be flat. It was white in the daylight and I thought it was a piece of shell or something that had been floating around in the tank and fallen...

    Ricordia question

    I saw something stringy coming out from the center of my Ricordia the other day. It was dark in color and whispy. Anyone know what that was?
