My 4 yr old baby sis, after spending the weekend at my house, decided it would be a good idea to throw a penny (I believe..I wasn't able to find any more) into my 90 gallon reef tank. I discovered it tonight while inspecting my tank. Do I have anything to be worried about?

I FIIIINally got my damsel out of my tank today after about 3 days with a homemade trap. This little terror of a fish has killed 2 firefish, a royal gramma, and 2 green chromis. I will now be able to add small fish! He is now sitting on my kitchen counter in a plastic coke bottle. I hated this...

My last aquarium sprung a leak, so i picked up a larger 90 gallon tank to replace it. I needed to have it set up right away, so I was not able to set up my sump. Now that i'm trying to build a sump--i can't fit anything larger than a 10 gallon tank through the aquarium stand's doors. Can I...

Since my upgrade from a 65 to 90 gallon tank, and the addition of 30lbs LR, I'm starting to experience a diatom bloom. I haven't seen that in a while..hopefully they go away soon. I'm guessing the tank is going through a little cycle, I'm wondering if I should keep up with the PWC's (I've...

I'm looking for a light setup for my new 90 gallon tank. I've found this on ebay: 48" 4ft Metal Halide Aquarium Reef Light 716W T5 T-5 HO - eBay (item 120415565491 end time May-13-09 19:34:07 PDT) Its 2-3 times cheaper than the coralife, current usa models. Anyone ever heard of ADV+ lights? I...

Woke up this morning to a leak in my 65 gallon hex. This is the second leak it has sprung--in a different spot from where I have had a previous leak last year. But alas, I was then left with no choice but to go look for a new tank. Upgraded to a sweet 90g. I've transferred all my livestock...

I got a new frag of Acans today, and i'm wanting to put it on the same rock as a different small colony of acans i have. Would there be any problems with this? I noticed at the LFS they had them all growing around each other.

I picked up a couple of emerald crabs last week, and caught one of them eating my zoas last night. I ran over and tried to catch him, but that sucker is fast and hid in my rockwork. I'm thinking I might have to set up a trap of some kind--anybody got any suggestions?

I just noticed yesterday that my wrasse's mouth is deteriorating, and looks white and split. I tried feeding him and hes eating fine for now. It looks like some sort of bad infection, and i'm not sure how I am going to treat him--theres no way i'm going to be able to catch him to stick him in...

I have a small colony of eagle eye zoos that are losing their color, and look like they are slowly wasting away. I put them next to a colony of thriving armor of god zoos..I was under the impression that these two types of zoanthids would be fine next to eachother--was I mistaken? I do have a...

I've got this one crazy hermit..about a month ago, I found him lodged in between the branches of my candy cane coral. I was like, beh, he must be stuck, so I had to pull out the coral and dislodge him. Hours later, I found that he climbed up and lodged himself in the same spot. I left him...

I was looking closely at my aquarium, and I have hundreds of these tiny white specks on my glass. They are almost microscopic--If I look really close I can see legs on them. It looks like a white speck with tiny, almost microcopic, clear legs--in the shape of a starfish. I can see a few white...

I've got this massive Colt coral that needs to be cut back--I gathered up the courage last night to have a go at it. I trimmed a piece about 3 inches long, but he needs a couple more large branches removed as well. My question is, how much, and how large of a branch can I trim off of him?

I picked up an awesome tiger pistol shrimp and hi-fin goby a few days ago--they were paired and fantastical...I got to watch them follow each other around for about 4 minutes before they disappeared in my rockwork. Don't think I'll ever see them again---especially after it took the LFS guy 20...

I had a power outtage for about 24 hours, my aquarium water temperature dropped 12 degrees....it was 66 degrees this morning. The power just came back on.. my fish look lethargic. Has this happened to anyone before? Did your livestock pull through?

I picked up a BTA about 3 weeks ago. He looks really healthy, eats and had found a good spot at the front of the tank with plenty of light...however as soon the lights went out one night, he wandered to the back of the tank in a cave--and won't come out. He has been back there for about 3 days...
