I've had a juvenile maroon fish in my 15 gallon nano tank for two months and just introduced a black clownfish and the two are inseparable. They swim all over the tank together in unison right next to each other. Is it possible that two different types can mate because these two "look" like they...

I have what appears to be Button Polyps. They just grew from the rock, started as white nubs. They are light brown with green centers and sparkly looking stalks. They have really really meaty looking shallow cups and close up as soon as anything lands on them (food wise-phyto plankton). They are...

It was a need for better lighting that made me convert my 3gal pico to a 15gal mini reef.

After 5 months here it is (sorry for the lousy cell phone pic)

I'm setting up a 20 gal Finnex and want to know which is more important? A protein skimmer or refugium for a reef tank with maybe 3 fish?

Can someone can possibly help me identify this interesting red pin head size creature that spools out a thin (web like) thread into the water column then reels it back in when it snags something. I thought it was a long piece of hair that kept annoying me. Everytime I removed the long strand of...

I just started to run my biocube fallow for a week (7 weeks to go) due to ich infestation of my tank. I checked my water and all is good amonia, n02 no3 at 0. Could it be because I have like no algae now? How long can they go without eating?

Do they sell RO units that you can attach to a garden hose? I can't touch the plumbing because I rent.

This is the second day in the tank and basically flying at half mast (withered looking) darker color then in the LFS and not pulsing. I have it under moderate/high water flow. All water levels/parameters are good. Is it dying or just adjusting to the tank? Is this common for this coral to behave...

I have a 14 gal biocube established for four months now and want to replace the live rock with nicer live rock. I do have live rock in place of the bio balls. Will I be able to do this safely?

Not like there is anything wrong with my tank at this point but I would like to know what you Biocube owners have done with the sponge that lies on the bottom of the filter in the back of the tank. I know a lot of you have removed the bio balls and replaced that with rubble ( I haven't got...

My Royal Gramma has ich after 3 months of being fine and now my super cool percula clown seems to be getting it. I really don't know what the use of placing them in a QT tank will be when they will just get it again. I don't have another tank at work anyway (that's were my nano reef is) and...

I'm actually pleasantly surprised but is the cyano bacteria going to hurt my trustworthy cleaning crew? :confused:

I just want to announce that my Mandarin Goby has died :( after 3 months of living in a 14 gallon nano bio cube. He basically (as the experienced have mentioned here) starved to death because of a lack of copepods available for him to eat. So, when your LFS rep. says that the Mandarin Goby is...

My tank used to smell like the sea (a nice ocean smell) when I would lift the lid. It doesn't any more since I introduced 3 Turbo snails to my tank. Was it the macro algae that made it smell like that? How do I get that smell back? All my algae has been eaten by snails and is being replaced by...

I have a submersible heater in my 14gal biocube that I relocated to the back compartment were the powerhead is located instead of looking ugly in my tank. Is it okay if it's not fully submerged and sticking out like 2 inches?

I decided to rebuild my reef and in the process my royal gramma jumped into the back part of my biocube were the powerhead is located. Unlike my clown which looked like a prisoner swimming behind the intake great this royal pain in the neck is nowhere to be found. Does anyone have any...

I found these tiny worms crawling all over a piece of live rock I just placed in the tank. They are tiny skinny white worms. Good or bad.

ph 8 ammo 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 20 I do 20% water changes every 2 1/2 weeks of my 14 gal biocube Can I add more corals now? I just have one small mushroom at this moment

Can anyone post pictures of the good and bad algaes? I haven't seen a aquarium without algae but it's posted everywhere that algae growth is a sign of poor water quality? I find it more of a excess of light issue myself. I have what looks like a fern type algae growing is that a good kind? ___No...
