My guess is no. lol The Associated Press: Giant Marine Life Found in Antarctica

I just noticed one of my astrea snails this evening open up a vent near it's mouth and blow out a bunch of whitish stuff. It looked like smoke. It did it for about 5 minutes, then stopped. Was this a spawning attempt? Never seen it happen in my tank before tonight. Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm downgrading my reef from a 45 tall to a 20 gal. I have a perfect (almost) stand for the tank but the tank hangs off the side about 1/4 inch on the left and right. My thinking is that this will be okay so long as I don't put much pressure on the sides of the tank, but I'm not...

I treated my tank with an antifungal to treat dropsy that my betta had. In the end... I killed off all of my plants. Stupid, stupid, stupid! :-? Sadly, I also lost my entire ground cover of glosso which I had been working on growing out for almost a year. Anyways, I know there are a lot of...

Hey guys. Got this mushroom polyp from Mike (melosu58) back in the summer and it's been great ever since then. As you can see in the one picture, it's been multiplying like crazy and from the 2 polyps Mike gave me I have around 10 now. Anyways, this particular polyp used to get HUGE and in the...

I have about had it with algae. In the past few months, it seems I just cannot get rid of it. This new red algae is killing me, as is the bryopsis that won't go away. I have never had this problem in the 4 or 5 years I've had my reef tank, until now. I've lost 3 corals now to algae. Never...

I have never posted my current reef tank in here, amazing. Thought I did. Anyways, here are some pics. It needs a water change BAD but in general isn't too bad. :) Right now I think I have enough corals to fill the tank up as they grow but right now it looks bare. I want to get a few more sps...

Wasn't going to the store looking for this guy, but saw him in this tank full of other huge fish for only $18.99, so I bought him. Plus I'm just jealous of Mike's hogging up all the attention. :D Just kidding. He is so hard to get a picture of! When he sees me come to the tank he jets. I...

Well....seems like you remembered it right now. Maybe you should write it down so you won't forget it again. :)

This stuff started out as just a little bubble or two, and now it's taking over my tank. It's growing everywhere. On my filtration, the rocks, even in between my corals. The pictures below show it growing on my torch coral skeleton. I have googled and can't find anything. Does anyone have any...

Found this little crab molt in my tank this afternoon. Thought I rid myself of all the crabs before I set up this tank, but I guess a new one tucked into some of the new liverock I got. I don't see how it could have survived. The water I cured the rock in was so nasty, and ammonia was so high...

Hey guys, I'm having a huge, huge, huge bryopsis outbreak in my tank. Just goes to show you what can show up micrscopically on dryed out liverock. When I upgraded to my 45 gallon, I bought 30 more pounds of liverock from liveaquaria...I was pretty dissapointed that the rock was pretty much dry...

An experience to share, and a question. First, these guys rock at getting rid of cyanobacteria! They munch any small area that comes up on my sandbed, particularly in the back corner of the tank. These are 2 bad pictures, but you get the point, and they are so comical to watch! I was sorta...

Hey guys, I have lots of trimmings that need a home. I don't have room for any new plants so I'm just asking $6 for shipping. If you really want to trade, ask and I might say yes. Depends on the plant. :) Anyways, I have some.. Asian Ambulia - Limnofilia sessiliflora Wisteraia - Hygrophila...

Here's probably a stupid question for you guys. I've been running carbon and phosban in an HOB filter, an AC 500 that I loaded with sand, liverock rubble, carbon, and the phosban. It made microbubbles like mad in the water, which was extrememly annoying and I didn't really think the stuff was...

I got a blue tippeded acro frag about 2 weeks ago. It was doing very well perched at the top of my tank. A few days ago, it fell off the rock, no doubt from a clumsy snail (I just got these, haven't had time to epoxy them down yet) and onto the sandbed. I was busy that day, never even noticed...

I have a small 2.5 gallon that I had 2 female bettas in recently... The bettas died from some fungus and I don't really want to put anymore in the tank. I have some small rubble I want to get rid of out of my 45 gallon, so I thought a nano reef would be cool. Question is, I recently used some...

Hey guys, you might remember I got 4 female bettas a while back. 2 went into one tank and 2 into another. Well, one from each tank is starting to lose huge patches of color, like their color is leaving and left behind is a whitish patch. I just found one of them now covered in a fungus, and...

Hey guys. I've been reading up on how to frag bubble corals. I have a huge one that is growing too long and curling around the bottom of the rock that I'd like to attempt fragging. If you've ever done this before, I'd love to hear some input. I hear conflicting information on the safeness of...

Hey guys, I've got a mad amount of christmas moss that needs a home. I don't really have anything else besides some ambulia, little bit of stargrass, and perhaps some Hemianthus micranthemoides to trade, so make me an offer. If you don't want to trade, all I ask is $5 to cover shipping. My...

I got a single Ricordea polyp (I think it's a yuma sp.) back in early October. For 5 months I noticed NO new growth on the coral... After setting up the 45 gallon with T5, in the past month, I've seen 2 new polyps arise from the mama polyp. My question is, how fast do these guys reproduce? I...

I tried googling, and I can find no such information anywhere. I know they look similar. One of my two supposedly female bettas is harassing the other a lot. It does look a little different in a some ways, but I can't get it to stay still long enough to get a good enough picture. Are there any...

Well I decided to try my hand at 2 female bettas, but when I went to the store to pick them out, I found the most beautiful female betta, then 3 others that looked like they were about to die! It was sorta sad, algae growing in their cups, they were just sitting there, all drab and brown, so I...

I picked up this coral frag at the LFS today, my first sps buy. I thought it looked like some sort of montipora but the guy at the LFS said it's a Hydnopora, basically same care as a monti. Can anyone confirm? It's got amazing color on it that the camera just won't pick up. A really bright...
