Hi all, I seem to have a problem with my yellow tang. My tank has been established for about 2 years and my yellow tang has been a part of it for nearly the entire duration. I noticed today that she is missing all her tail fin. All she has left is a stump. I think this happened in the last few...

Hi All, I really need help here. Numerous bristle worms in my tank are standing up like king cobras preparing to strike. Then, all of a sudden they squirt a clod of orange creamy stuff into the water. I don't know how long this has been happening. As soon as I saw it today, I starting sucking...

Hi all, I seem to develop this thick oil on the top of my water. Presently I have to mob it up with a paper towel in order to get rid of it. It very effectively blocks most of the light into the tank if I left it accumulate. I suspect something is wrong with my tank and that's why this problem...

Hi all, My tank is up and running, finally. I added my liverock a few months ago and life is proliferating in my tank. I have a lot of green and white stuff growing on my glass. It looks pretty cool fluttering in the current. However, I am also starting to notice grey/black stuff forming on...

I got 10 lbs of live rock from the lfs. One pice has 4 feather dusters on it. How do I care for these. It also has a tone of green grass stuff on it. I don't know how to care for this either. The other piece has two pieces of coral on it. Both are beginning to turn bone white. Are they...

Hi all, I need somebody to make some recommendations. I have a 40 gal tank, that is full of water and has about 3" of sand. The salinity is 1.021. I have one small fluval in there to move the water around. I am going to add a few other powerheads and my heater. My question is, what do I...

I just started a new aquarium. It's 40 gallons, 36x12x18. I purchased enough sand to make a 4" DSB. The sand was Indo Reef Sand. I also purchased an RO/DI unit. The water coming out of the filter is perfectly clear. It tastes pretty good too. When I added the water to the sand it...

Hey all, My girlfriends tank has fininshed cycling and there are two damsels living in it right now. My tank will finish soon. We're going to take the damsels out of her tank and put them in mine. We would like to add a starfish to her tank. I don't know much about starfish. Are they easy...

Has anybody ever stopped and thought about the environmental impact of this hobby? Are we contributing to the destruction of the reefs? I hope people are purchasing as much tank bred livestock as possible and striving to do the least damage possible. I guess I'd like to clear my concience, I...

Has anybody put tufa rock in their tank? It's calcium based rock, but I just want to make sure that I'm not about to do something I will regret. I bought $70 worth of the rock because just by looking at it I was sure it was calcuim based. When I got home I poured vinegar on it just to check...

What type of rock do people use for base rock? My LFS sells base rock, but it is live (has bristle worms and other critters in it). Should I just fill my tank with that, or is there a type of "dry" rock that I can add? I thought I could add Tufa rock, but nobody else seems to agree. Thanks, Phil

I bought a 38 gallon tank last weekend. I want to get the cycle going soon. I went to buy a RO water filter yesterday and found out that I cannot afford it at the moment. I'm interested in knowing how vital RO water is. Is there an alternative that will work as well, or by not buying an RO...

Hi all, I've just started a new tank. I've added the salt and water, sand and LR. The amonia spike is underway. I have already seen a bristle worm and some other things. I speared the bristle worm with a knife because I was told they were bad. I may not have killed him; he quickly got into...
