I have a BioCube 29G with the stock stand. Anyone here have one and installed a fuge in the stand? I want to try this, but have no clue what to do. It would be small, like 15x13x18. But, it would be better than nothing.

I have a few questions. I want to start to culture copepods. I have read some articles and communicated via e-mail with Dr. Adelaide Rhodes about this. From what she says, I can culture pods in a tupperware container. But thats not the question here. When you ave a refugium and you culture pods...

My blue linkia star started getting this brown thing coming from it's center. At first I though it was it's stomach. But 3 days later it's huge...Anyone have a clue what is going on? Spawning maybe?

1 Sun Coral Frag (5 Polyps) 1 Pocillopora Frag (1/2 inch) 1 Red Mushroom Frag (1/4 inch) 1 Zoo Rock (20-30 Polyps) *Brown w/ Green mouth* Not really looking for anything in return...maybe a tiny frag of some really nice zoos (Pink, Red, Orange, Purple, Blue). Otherwise...you can pick them...

I understand that these creatures are like Mandarins and require lots of pods. I have about 35lbs of LR (29Gal tank). 4lbs of LR rubble in the canister filter and 2 lbs rubble in the skimmer chamber. The tank is around 8 months old. I figure the rubble under the skimmer and in the canister can...

I finally got hold of a couple of these guys. They have been in my tank for months, but much smaller. Guess they grew quite a bit. I cant find anything that looks quite like them on the hitchhiker pages or in the databases. Any Clue? Both are the same except for color. Sorry about the crummy...

Caught in the act....

I got a RBTA a week ago. It has looked like the attached picture for the whole time. I fed it a silverside a few days ago, ate it right up. I just did a PWC, about 15%. I removed a Pocillopora frag, a zoo frag, a frogspawn frag, and pulled a piece of xenia off a piece of LR. Took to LFS for...

When I purchased this piece it was neon green and "purple". Its been about 4 months and now it's neon green and red. Is it normal for them to change color?

I picked up some frozen Blood Worm cubes at Petco last week. I place 1 cube of mysis, and 1 cube of the blood worms in a cup with some selcon, zoe and garlic extreme and let soak. Twice now I have fed this mixture and everyone seems to ignore the blood worms. I end up fishing most of them out...

I have 1 small Randalli Pistol Shrimp. It looks like both my gobies (Tangaroa & Wheelers Watchman) have paired with it.....that is, I see both of them hanging out near his hole. Question is...can I add another pistol shrimp...I'm not "hip" to their behavior around each other.

I noticed today that when my 36W PC Actinics kicked on they stayed kinda reddish for a while and slowly turned blue (maybe over 5 min) and the ends where the ignitors are stayed red for about 3 min longer. So it took about 8 minutes for the bulbs to be completely blue. This has not been the...

I have had this rock covered in Green Star Polyps for something like 3 months now. Awesome piece, numerous featherdustes in it, just gorgeous. Today I am looking at it from the right side, and I notice some slime rising off of it from the left side. I go around to the left and see a big...

Just a question about bubble corals. When the two I have were in the LFS tank their bubbles were expanded to the size of Large Grapes, the big blue ones. In my tank they never seem to get bigger than large peas, or maybe a marble. One is about mid tank, the other a little higher. Any clue as...

OK..I know this is a long shot but I will have to do this by explaining it. There is no way I can get a pic of this. I have a "pass thru" hole in one of my pieces of LR. Can see right through it. It's about 1 1/2" around. On the inside of the hole, there is a hole in the side wall going into...

I want to buy some new PC replacement bulbs for my unit. 36W straight 4 pin config Actinics Any suggestions on a brand to buy. Who has best actinics, best quality, etc....? And whats the difference between Blue 7100K and Regular Actinic? I came up with these two...

I went to change the filter ctg in my Penguine 300 Bio-Wheel filter today, I shut it off, pulled out the GAC bag I run in it, and noticed something moving. I then pulled the filter ctg out and tons of little bugs were crawling around on it. They looked like pods in a SW tank. I have never...

Picked up another small bubble coral. I have noticed that it deflates and retracts a couple times a day. Then a little later it will puff back out. My other bubble puffs out in the morning, and stays out all day, then retracts at night. Should I be concerned, or is it usual coral behavior?

Over the last week I have noticed an very small tube protruding from my rock. It has a tiny white "head" that retracts whenever you put something near it. It emits a thin line on mucous that dangles in the water column about 3-4 inches long. Any clue??? I cant get a pic..it's too small.

I was watching my pair of GSM Clowns this morning. They gave been getting along wonderfully the past week. I now watch as Big GSM nuzzles Little GSM on the mouth as if they are kissing and Big also nuzzles Little on his side. The funny part is, immediately after this nuzzling, Little GSM...

Saw a small piece of Hammer Coral at LFS today. Now, all the hammer coral I have seen to date has been a brown or green color. I think I have seen some orangeish colored hammer before. This one was WHITE. Recalling my lesson learned from my BTA....Is it safe to assume this coral is BLEACHED...

I came in today and found the BTA completely closed. All that was visible was the brownish/tan ouside. About 1/2 hour later it looks like this (see pic)... What the heck is going on, It does not look too good to me. Sorry for the crummy pic
