Help! I just ordered a "15 mushroom" rock from SaltwaterFish, and there seems to be some work on the rock! It's about an inch long, has bumps, and appears to be dead. I can just scrape him off the rock if I wanted to. What should I do?

I just got a frogspawn from saltwaterfish today. I noticed something weird on its side. It feels like jelly.

I have recently fell in love with this fish. I have an extra 20 Gallon Long tank that I used to keep Fire Belly Toads in. I have all of the decor, and an intank canister filter rated for 30 gallon tanks. Also, I keep saltwater fish tanks, so I have the salt, hydrometer, and test kits. I have...

I am so excited! I finally ordered my Biocube 29, stand, and other supplies! They should arrive on November 15-18. I have researched all of this for so long it is not even funny. I am modding it so that i take out everything in the second chamber and make a fuge. I am having bags of carbon...

I am getting a 29 Gallon Biocube, and I used to be planning on getting a green clown goby. However, I cam across a striking, yet different, goby, called an emerald coral goby. Is it's care any different from the green clown goby? And where can I buy one? Here is a picture of one...

I just discovered these on my tonga branch that I have some soft corals on. I just got the branch with a Nepthea and a Xenia colony last week. I did an Iodine dip, but I have heard that aiptasia can live through that. It looks like there are some brown things in that large hole that is to the...

I am considering getting a small/medium hammer coral for my 90 gallon half-circle reef, since I can't have an anemone with these lights (I am getting a BTA once I upgrade my Biocube). I have a nice area on the sand bed that is about 8 inches by 6 inches that I do not have anything on currently...

I went to the LFS today to buy a pair of Banggai Cardinalfish and a Xenia coral if they had one. They did, but on the same piece of tonga stick there was another coral. He said it was called Nepthea, I think. I asked him if it had any extra care requirements than a normal soft coral, and he said...

Ok so I got a kole tang from liveaquaria yesterday and he is in my 10 gallon QT. I know the tank is too small but is he is very young. He will eventually go into my 90 gallon reef. He seemed to have acclimated to the tank well, and I am not currently doing hypo. One thing that is odd is that he...

Ok, so I am really considering getting a new SW tank. I have a 90 gallon reef in my living room that is doing well, and I am kind of intrigued with the idea of getting a 29 BioCube for my bed room. I do have some questions about it. I have a stand that would fit the dimensions I found online...

I have a 90 gallon reef tank. Currently I have 3 Bluegreen Chromis, a mated pair of Ocellaris Clowns, and a longnose hawkfish. (I also have a Zebra Dartfish in QT). I am planning on getting a Midas Blenny, Diamond Watchman Goby, 6line wrasse, and a kole tang. Would this be overstocking? also, I...

Ok so I got my new Zebra Dartfish in them mail. It is looking fine and is acclimating to my 10 gallon QT tank. How long do you guys think I should keep him in there? I have heard 1 month minimum, and 2 weeks minimum. Which would you guys recommend? And he is looking healthy BTW :)

I have a 90 gallon reef tank. It is relatively new (2 months old). I have some hardy corals like colt coral, mushrooms, gsps, zoas, and things of that nature. I was wondering if I could have a BTA in this tank. I have a one bulb 175 watt 14,000k MH light. I am seriously doubting that I can have...

I got my saltwaterfish.com shipment today! All of the items are accounted for. The colt coral I ordered is HUGE!!! The zoas are much bigger than I thought, and the mushroom is about the size of a quarter. The two fish are pretty small, but alive :) the two peppermint shrimp are completely...

I currently have 3 Blue-Green Chromis, a mated pair of Ocellaris Clowns, some Zoanthids and a GSP in my 90 Gallon Half Circle Reef tank that has a 175 Watt 14,000k Metal Hallide. I am planning on getting some things on saltwaterfish.com. $50 Reef Package with Free Shipping 1 Extra Peppermint...

I think I have a hydroid on my new zoa colony. is there a way to kill it without harming the coral? should i just get rid of the coral? There is only space for one on it, so how does it multiply?

Ok, I just got a medium GSP rock from the LFS. I just noticed that there is something that looks kinda like a snail in the bag with it. It must have been kept in the $40 Coral Tank, so it has to be reef safe, right? Also, on the bottom of the rock is something that looks like red mushrooms. Pics...

Ok, so many of you know about my reefcleaners mishap. It was not anyone's fault entirely. John did misplace my order and didn't ship it and didn't warn me, but I unknowingly ordered in the worst possible time for him. Hurricane Irene + Weekend + Labor Day = too much confusion. This being said, I...

I was planning on getting two Banggai Cardinals tomorrow, but I'm not sure the bioload has adjusted yet from the pair of clowns I got a few days ago, and the 3 chromis I got last week. I have a 90 gallon tank with MH 175 watt 14,000k lights and plan on going reef. Might just pick up a cheap...

I have been debating what my first coral should be. I have narrowed it down to a few types. Please give advise on what my first should be. 90 gallon tank, metal halides, 175 watt 14,000k. 1. GSPs 2. Zoanthids 3. Mushrooms The tank has been running for that long and it will be a while before I...

I saw this on Aquacon. I assume this was an accident. I'd email them about it, but they probably wouldn't respond for 5 days (that was a customer service joke)

I have been kinda clueless about reef aquarium lights, as I inherited my tank. I know there are t5 and t8 bulbs, and then there is metal hallide. I think I have a metal hallide light fixture. On the box with a bulb, it says it is 175 watt and 14,000k. Would this be a correct measurement for...

Just got a mated pair of Ocellaris Clownfish for my 90 gallon tank :) Pics to come! Should I have my lights off for acclimation or is that for only corals?

Today I learned that my half circle tank is 90, not 76 gallons. It doesn't affect my stocklisting (no different fish), so I guess it's kind of cool. It would have been even better if I had known from the start, but it doesn't hurt me at all :) I guess it just means more fishies... :D I learned...

I'm getting a large ReefCleaners shipment in at about 4:00 today. I saw on the website that they recommended just putting the bag in the tank for 15 minutes and then putting the animals in. Should I do the drip acclimation? I'm just not sure they will cover deaths if I do that.
