just one clarki not a pair

the star has been in the tank for about 8 to 9 months. i believe that the clarki clown i have attacked it.

my starfish has somehow had one of his rarms rips off. I know that they can regenerate but my question is do I need to completely sever the arm that has been ripped off? its just kinda hanging on by a string now. what should I do?

i seem to have this brown algae taking over my tank. is this good or bad? anybody?

My tank has been going for a good four weeks now and while the damsels seem happy and the live rock seems to be doing the trick there is brown algae covering the floor, sides and all in the tank. Is this a good thing or bad thing and if it is a bad thing, what might be causing it and how might...

I think i have a problem. the floor of my tank is turning this brownish red color. i think its from the food that i am feeding the damsels but can't be certain. anybody got any experience with this and how to fix it?

obviously you can tell that I am "wet" behind the ears at this so i'll keep the elementry questions coming. I am using a red sea test kit. During the first few weeks of cycling does the pH fluctuate very much, continually rise, or what?

why is it that ph levels are higher in the afternoon?

Just got back from the coast where I picked up a few goodies from the ocean. Thought they might be goo additions to the tank but not sure if that is a good idea (just some corals and shells, decoration stuff). Anyway, just wondering if adding these things to my tank would be a bad idea or if...

whats the best and safest way to lower pH levels. My pH is about 8.4 (im new at this) so I understand that it is better to keep it around 8.3. My tank is a 30gal and it has about 10 lbs of live rock with 3 yellow tail damsels. the tank has been going for about a week now. anybody?

can anybody suggest a good website to buy supplies from. I.E. heaters, thermometers, filters.

Maybe its just me but it seems that I can't get a straight answer from anyone. My questin this time is this: from all the water tests that one must do to set up a marine tank what exactly do the levels need to be at. ph, salinity, gravity, nitrites, nitrates, amninonia, alkalinity, etc. If...

the salt i used was IO. I guess the filters have been running now for about 13 hours and it is significantly less cloudy. Thanks for the advice. Somebody tell me about how and what I need to check the water for before I put anything else in it.

I just recently set up my saltwater tank and it has been running for 8 or more hours so far. The water is very cloudy white and I my question is how long does it usually take for a 30 gal. tank to clear up? And do I need to wait for it to clear up to introduce damsels and live rocks?
