    Coral Beauty dead within 5 hours

    I bought a Coral Beauty today. I drip acclimated for 3+ hours and added it to my QT tank. An hour later, I checked on him, and he was swimming back and forth across the front of the tank, in the middle of the water column - seemingly fine. An hour after that, I check on him, and he was dead on...

    Exposing CC Starfish to air

    I've mostly read to never expose a starfish to air because of air pockets possibly becoming stuck in the arms. I was wondering how true this is.

    Tiny bugs?...and Aiptasia.....and diatoms

    I noticed what seemed to be a swarm of tiny bugs on the glass behind one of my powerheads. They are no bigger than the tip of a needle. A few of my snails like to hangout in that corner, so I'm thinking they might be eating them, but the snails don't really move much when they are there, so...

There was a small snail next to him on the glass and he...

    Lighting question

    I'm looking at getting a lighting system for my 29 gallon deep. I want to get something that I could use with mushrooms and polyps if I decide to get some down the road. Would the Coralife T5 HO Lunar fixture be sufficient? I also saw the Sunpod 14,000K HQI Metal Halide, but am worried about...

    Unknown hitchhiker

    I just noticed this little fellow on my glass this morning. I have no clue what it is. Perhaps some sort of slug? Here is a video: YouTube - ‪Saltwater Tank‬‏

    Cycling - PWC Needed?

    I've been snooping around on these forums for about a month now and have learned a great deal from them, so thanks to everyone for that. I started fishless cycling my 29 gallon tank on 5/28. Things have gone smooth and I saw almost immediate progress with the cycling. My levels are as stated...
