Picked it up the other day, think its a fungia, not too sure.

http://home.earthlink.net/~luntiz/misc/DSCF0045.jpg The toadstool has been moved around about 4 times within the last 2 weeks, so maybe that has something to do with it. Other than that, all my corals are doing great. I've read that toadstools are easy to keep but this one seems to get worse...

How are the following lighting systems? I would love to hang this fixture using only 1 wire, keeps it very simple, and easiler to manage. http://www.hellolights.com/17penfix.html But then again, this system isn't all that large, roughly a foot long. http://www.hellolights.com/ocli25hqiame.html...

I had a cardinal that just died this afternoon, he was stuck between some rocks and when i went in to grab it by moving a rock, he floated off into the back of the tank. Do I try to remove him? I have a black bristle star, will that be able to handle it? The cardinal is about 1 inch and by...

I'm looking for a fish with a long tail. I can't explain, but the top and bottom tips of the tail are long and grow longer than the whole tail. For lack of better words, take a look at...

Is it okay to press up polyps to the glass? I have this HUGE colony that is on a HUGE peice of rock...having no where to place it w/ enough stability, I find that I have to place it near the glass. After I was done I noticed that about 4 polyps are pressed up upon the glass. I know that they...

How does a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion do in higher flow? I have a bunch of corals and 4 Powerheads that push a lot of water... Will a Fuzzy Dwarf Lion be able to keep up?

I found this hitchhiker on a peice of Coral Rock I got today. Anyone know what it is?

I have a 50 gallon tank with a bunch of poop laying on the bottom...I siphon out what I can every other week but I'm sure I'm missing a lot that cling to the Live Rock and in the tougher corners around the rocks. What do you guys recommend as a good Detritivore consumer? Thanks in advance!

I live in the Los Angeles area and am willing to drive 20 miles+ to pick up some Nassarius Snails. I cannot find them at the LFS I've been going to and do not want to order online because of shipping cost. Thanks in advanced!

I have so much base rock that its not funny...(I don't see a single pod or worm in my tank). Well anyways, would it be okay to add a Detritivore Kit in a Barebottom setup? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46308&item=4316811436&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Can you guys point out...

Okay, after taking a look at numerous LFS's stands, I realize that my stand is a POS. The board that is supporting the tank's bottom is extremely thin...probably 1/5 of an inch. At one of the LFS I found this extremely nice looking stand but the problem here is that my tank is 36''15''20'' and...

After running my Fluval 4 for over a week, I want to possibly downgrade to two smaller internal filters. That thing is HUGGGGGEEEEE! What are your views regarding internal filters? *tank specs below* I'm looking at getting two Fluval 2's. Would that be okay or should I just keep that one...

So today I placed my hand into the tank to clip some seaweed for my tang and I got a slight shock to my finger. I have carpet and was told that sometimes carpet can create that shock but I'm not too sure. Well anyways, whats the easiest, safest, and quickest way to test for stray voltage? No...

I have a Rio powerhead and it punchs out 12watts. Thats terribly high for a powerhead that only pushs out 200gph. I have another powerhead made from some other company that many of you probably have never heard of and that pushs 500gph at only 13watts. I was wondering how many watts the...

So I went into a LFS and asked around about schooling fishs, I pointed to the 3 Blue-Green Chromis he had and he said, "NO!" A minute later he suggested having 5 Blue Tangs if I wanted a school. I mention that my tank is only 50 gallons and not even 50 gallons long. He said "should be okay."...

Okay, so i'm at 1.0085 or around there and from my research, at this salinity, all inverts should be popping and dying off. So I wake up this morning to find PODS running all over the aquarium walls!!!!!!! Does this mean that there is a chance that the Ich will also survive the lower salinity...

I have a 50 gallon Acrylic tank and the top only has one large slot for HOB stuff. Aftering picking up a UV+Skimmer, I had to remove my HOB Powerfilter. I've read about how this can be done, LR + Skimmer w/o any other filters. The thing is the skimmer is LOUDDDDD!!! Is it okay for me to turn...

Anyone know where I can purchase some? I don't have enough to hold all my lights. Thanks in advance!

Well, after being at 1.008-.009 for almost two weeks, the spots are still on my clown and now I can see a lot of scales that appears to be missing?! Certain areas on both the female and male clown are missing scales!!!! What other disease can this be?? Oh yea, the female's belly seems to be...

Does hyposalinity make ICH even worst during early stages of treatment? My pair of GSM Clowns got an even worst outbreak than ever before!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I really really hope they make it

I have a Whisper PowerFilter and several powerheads and was wondering how to get the best surface aggitation. The aggitation is current breaking up about 1/2 the tank and i want it to aggitate the whole surface but have not been sucessful. Another question, Is 1/2 the surface being aggitated...

Having been adding garlic extract to my food for my ich-ed fish, I am developing a huge amount of the "protein slime" on the surface of the water. So my question is, what is the best way to get rid of it? TIA

Well, after dropping my salinity down to 1.009, now there is detectable ammonia (0.25). What shall I do to lower it or should I just let the biofiltration take care of it? Should I also feed less because their metabolisms arent as fast any more?

Here I thought I was doing hyposalinity at 1.009 but today when I received my refractometer I was extremely surprised (well a little surprised, the ich never fell off the clowns). Refractometer read 1.014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hypo my @ss!! Best 50 bucks I've spent.
