I need to purchase a heater for my already mixed RO water before putting it in my aquarium. I keep my system on a porch area and the water is much cooler than the aquarium water. I've used aquarium heaters but they haven't helped much. I would like something larger (fast) that I don't have to...

I've only had this little guy for @2 weeks. He pretty much sticks to the rocks and often times I have to look hard to find him. My tank has been set up for @ 3 years. I used sand from my tank that's been set up for @ 12 years to seed it so I believe it should have a pretty good stock of pods...

I added a watchman goby and his pistol shrimp to a 30 gal tank a few months ago. They had been together in a 2 gal. tank for a couple of years. They swam away when I dropped them in (after acclimating, of course). The goby has been eating and hiding in the rocks but I have seen nothing of...

Sorry I had to send video.... couldn't figure out the "URL of my photo." Its in my picture library on my laptop. Anyway, I got this montipora @ 2 yrs ago. It was the size of a quarter. It has been growing beautifully to @ 9ins I think. Id break a piece now & then and it would even grow...

I have been told that the brown dusty covering on my rocks, sand, coral, and anything else horizontal is diatoms. "No problem," I'm told, "cut down on feeding' and "it may be your water." This tank has been set up for over 10 years. I had the problem once before (slightly, compared to this) -...

Probably 6 mos ago I bought live rock with a nice colony of yellow star polyps. After @ 2 days tiny little aptasia started popping up all over the live rock...... I used Kaulk over a period of weeks until I got rid of all of them..... I thought.... I hadn't seen any in months and all of a sudden...

After lights out tonight I took a flashlight & went to check out what was going on in the aquarium. After sitting a moment I began to notice tiny little fish (I think) swimming toward the light. My fire clown also noticed and began to snack. I turned off the lights and waited until I thought...

I am going out of town on Thurs. so I need help fast. I have had a pencil urchin for many years. I recently added corals to my tank so he became a problem....mostly with knocking the corals over or knocking something over on them. I moved him into my tank that has fish only (well actually...

I brought my flashlight in the middle of the night last night to see what might be crawling around in my tank. Didn't see anything crawling but something I have never seen before attached to my live rock. It was shaped like a tiny sea urchin with appendages that were clear... almost like the...

Here is a photo of my unidentified object. I finally just moved the rock to the front of the tank so I could take a picture.... should have done that in the first place..... When I looked at the picture I thought about an anenome but the edges really do look ruffled... not like tentacles.

I have had a piece of live rock for many months (probably @ 7). Several sponges have been growing on it and a little xenia has attached itself at the bottom. Yesterday I noticed that another little sponge is popping up near the others but also there is a dark red ruffly looking growth coming...

I can't really say I have anything sick- at least I hope not..... but I couldn't figure out where else to put these questions. 1. I got 2 peppermint shrimp @ a month ago. They were really little when I got them. I put them in my very calm 33gal tank that only has 2 clowns, a watchman goby...

Question #2 I bought a pinkish feather duster just a few weeks ago. He lost part of his feathers (crown, I think)... I saw them acting alive a few inches away from the tube... tried to put some shells around it so that the banded coral shrimp might not notice him... Anyway, I just assumed...

I bought this rock on Thursday for the pretty gold (star?) polyps growing on it. The morning after I put it in my tank I noticed several little pretty green places- very small. It is now Sunday am. and the little green places are definitely growing. When I flipped on the moon light (blue)...

Here is a before (October) & after (today) picture of my eagle eye zoas. They have grown some.... not as much as I thought they should. They kept getting knocked over by my hermit crabs, sea urchin, or turbo snails. I finally found glue that would hold them down...... My question is this...

These are pictures of what someone on this forum told me was some kind of a paly (under stress since they are white). Since these two pictures (the 2 with the toothpick showing) were taken several months ago, these little guys have pretty much stayed the very same. They closed up when I squirted...

I just zapped my aptasia so I'm on to another question..... Is this just algae or could it be something wonderful? I was in a fish store last week where they had a rock covered in bright green ??? It was neon and quite beautiful. I gave the lady my name and asked her to phone me if she got...

I've seen & gotten rid of lots of aptasia in my tanks but they've been small & brownish/pinkish in color. This has popped up in my tank - where I don't think I've ever had aptasia before and it's so big..... and so colorless. Just wanted to make sure it's a pest before I zap it. Please let me...

I bought a Marineland H.O.T. filter and am having an awful time getting it to work. It took me hours the 1st time but it did finally work. I stopped it to clean &..... big mistake. It pumps all the water out but doesn't pull any in so after a few seconds it just starts sputtering. Has...

My 6-8 year old fire clown suddenly has white cotton-like spots (clownfish disease?). I went out of town for 6 days, had a pet sitter, came home.... the cat has a bladder infection, the dog has an ear infection & my clown fish has this! Anyway, got everybody treated but the clown. I set up a...

I had a scare with my 33 gallon tank a few weeks ago....came home from shopping & noticed the fish were acting strange (I only have 2 clownfish & a watchman goby in it). I checked the water, the temp, & finally realized the pump had stopped working. It is a whisper 30-60 gallons (I think)-...

]I am trying to get xenia established in my aquarium. I had a couple of very small frags... put them a small glass bowl with netting over them & a rubber band. One frag grew quickly & was moved out. The other grew slower and looked slightly different from the first. It grew a bit taller &...

I bought a small frag of eagle eyes a month or so ago. They did fine...new little ones were popping up.... everything was going great. The colors were beautiful. Then one morning I walked in and the frag, that I thought was secure, was face down in the sand- probably the work of one of my...
