My Phillipine Feather duster looks as if it was spawning this morning. It was blowing smoke rings and clouds of what " smoke" for about 15 minutes. Can I ssume reproduction? JG?

anemones ! I swear that I will never buy one again - no matter how strong the temptation. Left for a week long vacation - everybody in the 90 gallon was healthy and happy - even had a fish sitter - thank goodness . Got a call toward the end of the week that my fish were dying. Came home on...

I've been wanting one of the HOB fuges for my 90 gallon tank but couldn't see past the large price tags. So for a fraction of the cost, my husband built one, I ordered 2 small powerheads and some chaeto. A light unit from an old 10 gallon tank fits perfectly . One powerhead bring water in and...

I recently inherited 2 fish from my boss - a large clarki and a large blue velvet damsel. Both are approx 7 year old. The clarki has settled in well and loves his new 90 gallon home, but something must have happened in the capture or transefer of the damsel. He seems unable to swim properly...

HUGE !!!! 8O My boss is restarting his 75 gallon tank and just gave me the two fish that he has had for 7 years. I opened the bucket ..... GASP ! A huge clarki and I believe a tang. Not sure about the tang ( species wise). I will have to see it once they are in the tank. I may have to...

go figure ! I just upgraded from a 30 gal to a 90 gal. I had been feeling sorry for all of my little critters as they were sharing a 30 gallon tall. Not a lot of bottom real estate. Anyhoo .... I put all the live rock and critters in the tank tonight and then sat back to watch them wallow...

Was at Home Depot looking for play sand for the new tank. No luck - but..... In the garden and lawn area they had 40 pound bags of granular dolamitic limestone for lawns. Looked at the ingredients - dolamitic limestone 90% dust free and thought - why not? This is the same stuff as sold in...

Just picked up my new 90 gallon tank today. Hubby is in the garage building a custom stand at this very moment. Ohhhh - the possibilities !! :multi:

My daughter's serpent star hangs out in her Purple Condy. Is this wierd or normal? The star will actually take food from the condy unless I'm right there to shoo him away.

Checking out options for new tank. I'm really liking the CPR Aquafuge PS Hang on Back refugium with protein skimmer. Any thoughts or opinions? TIA JG

Opinion #1 : 90 gallon or 125 gallon. Besides the obvious pros for the 125 - are people with the 90 happy with the amount of real estate offered? I like the size and look of the 90 better than the 125 for the room in which the aquarium will go, but of course am concerned that I will only...

I am shopping for a 125 gallon glass aquarium and Glass Cages will be in Hartford CT. next Weekend. The have 125's for $260 - a fairly good deal. My husband has said that he wil drive down to get an aquarium. Question is ... has anyone ever used this company Glass Cages and if so is their...

This crab came in as a hitchiker. He seems not to bother the fish. In fact he is quite shy, therefore the dark picture. Anybody know what he is?[/img]

After combating a cyano problem in one tank but not the other - all parameter are equal except substrate..... I have a question. How many of you who have had cyano problems have used a live sand or live crushed coral substrate and how many of you have used a dry substrate? JG

I just bought feather duster today. He looks great - fully extended. He appears to be a twin as there are two distinct duster "heads" in the same tube. Anyone see this before?

Posted in sick fish forum - no takers , so I'll try here. I have a sebae clown with one pop eye. He is eating ok, but eye is looking worse. Any advice for treatment?

After returning from vacation I find that everyone is fine except my Sebae Clown. He looks as if he has one eye that is "popping out". What is the best way to treat it?

I'm going on a one week vacation. Has anyone ever used the 7 day feeders for saltwater tanks ? I have read mixed info on whether it affects the water chem too much.

Has anyone ever used Pimafix or Melafix in a tank with anemones and soft coral? I've got a clownwith what looks like marine velvet, but he is hiding in the rocks.

I haven't been able to get a picture yet - so I will try to describe as well as I can. I have a hitchiker crab. He appears to be black with white stripes on hairy back legs. Front claws are smooth and very round. He seems to eat coralline algae from around his hiding hole in the live rock...

OK - I know that you will ask for a pic, but I can't really get close enough and he is really fast. So I will try to describe as best as I can. He is a hitchiker that I have seen only a few times. I finally got a decent look last night. He appears to be black, has hairy legs with black and...
