Hello, Well last night my heater suction cups gave out, and this morning when I looked in the tank, the heater had migrated around the tank and was resting up against my pagoda. When I attached the heater back, and looked at my pagoda, i can see a definite white stripe about 1/4 inch wide, and...

Hi, I am wanting to set up a longitudinal study on the cycling of nutrients (namely nitrogen) within a marine ecosytem. Basically i want to initiate some a study into deep sand beds and how much/how many/what types and the extent to which the bacteria grow in the dsb environment (and thus if...

I bought a couple fighting conchs from our supplier yesterday. I acclimated them and added them to my tank, within a couple minutes there were attacking the cyano on my dsb like their lives depended on it! Finally i am winning the war against the evil cyano :twisted: !! I would recommend...

Okay, I know i have not been on this forum as long as many other people, however I would like to know where people get the evidence that a tank cannot support anemones under a year of age? I see it posted all over this site, by a variety of people, yet I would really like to see the reasons...

Hi all, Anyone have any info on using this product? I am trying to battle against outrageous cyano, and thought this might work? Wether it was good, bad or ugly I would really appreciate your input! :D

I have purchased a nice large lump of green star polyps from my lfs, and he is doing well. However, at night when the polyps all go inside, there a re a couple long tubes that stick out, slowly overnight red fan looking things pop out of these tubes. They look just like a regular feather...

I have a hammer coral that I would really like to see grow, however the frag i bought is shaped like a Y, with two colonies on either of the top two points (the bottom point of the Y is in the dsb). They have run out of room on these tips (about the size of a quarter when they go in) and i...

Okay so I spent lots of time running around the archives, but i am still a little bit unsure. Does cyano require light to grow, i seem to be engaged in a losing battle against it in my tank :x . Will leaving the lights off for a couple days have any effect on it? (just wanted to try 'natural'...

Ok, so I am sure that i will be told that it is 'different strokes for different folks' but I really would like to know how much, how often and what you tend to feed your fish. Do you keep on feeding until they seem disintrested in the food? (probably generates lots of waste) Do you feed them...

I have two clowns, which hve been doing great for about a week. All of a sudden one of them has started to breath fairly heavily, and appears to 'wobble' from side to side as he swims. The other clown (and my hawk fish) are oing great. All three are eating fine so far too? Any help would be...

I have a 29 gal which has lots of live rock and a dsb. I have a longnose hawkfish and two clowns. My question is this, the clowns seem to only inhabit one small corner of my tank, I think that I have too high of a flow going on for them to handle (1 penguin 550 + Magnum 350) is this too much...

Okay, so i have had some pods running around my tank for like a week now, they look like miniscule white ants. I bought some more live rock from a lfs and now i see hundreds of small "pod-like" things swimming in the current? Three questions i guess : 1. What are the swimming things? (too small...

Okay, so I know i ask lots of silly questions, but i guess that is how we learn!! Thank you all for your patience I was worried about the depth of sand in my dsb, but i didn't want to destroy the colonies all ready present in it. Will i be ok just to add an inch or two to the top, or should i...

Okay, i have heard anything from 25% once a month, 15 % a week, and some who suggest only replacing water lost to evaporation! What to do, what to do!! My tank currently has finished cycling, but is developing a slight film on top (my skimmer hasn't ben bought yet!) - Please feel free to give...

Hello, I have just started up a 29gal tank (up about 4 weeks). I was told to use about 5-6 inches of sand. I have a lot of lr (i get it cheap as i work in a petstore!) and i hope to have a mix of a couple fish, some nice anenomes and a couple corals when it is all finally finished. However I...
