no swimming that i can tell. they are so tiny they would be hard to see if they were not against a colored rock. I just notice them in diffeent areas all the time.

I have these tiny feather duster looking things on my lr. They are like the feather duster but white or clear and tiny. Like the size of an pencil eraser or smaller when out. They are too small to have a body, only the extended feathers. They seem to move arround the tank too. Thanks.

OK after last night's talk I looked into a hamilton beach mh light. I need help. My tank: 80 gal. 48h x 15w x 24h. I am going to scrap my two Coralife 96w quad pin lights for an adequate light for future species. A couple of questions: 1. Is the Hamilton Beach 48" mh ballast good? It...

I can see that he could be a great addition at the right time (with the right lighting) I will try to get him to a lfs. The ones near me will not take him. I tried that first but to no avail. I had previously decided to get a Aqualight lunar 4x96w. I have ordered it but I can still change...

Whoa there MT79. Read the posts. I DO research before buying. I was simply trying to save a doomed anenome from a living room floor when a friend's tank busted and drained eveywhere.

Well, I gotta sleep now. If anyone else has any ideas please post them and I will check in the morning. Thank you for all the help.

I am getting the light regardless so I guess I will give it a try. Anything else I can do? What about correct conditions for him. How much water movement? Obviously all the light I can muster. How often should I hand feed him food? Any best food for him? Sorry for all the questions but...

Possibly a solution. I have a coralife 4x96 lunar light balast comming in a few days. Just ordered it. Would that be sufficient? Should I build a higher base for him so he is closer to the lights? Anything else I can do? I really do not want to lose him. I feel horrible when I lose...

Return not possible. He came from a friends tank that broke and leaked. Water everywhere!! I know its about 6 months too early for him but had no choice. Had to put him in this tank. Any suggestions?

how do you measure an anenome? His base foot is about a half dollar in size. He's not that big.

Tank is 80 gallon reef. I have 2x96w quad pin coralife's. He is about 16-18" from the lights. His tankmates: 1 blue/green chromis, 2 percula clowns, 1 yellow mimic, a few mushrooms, frogspawn, crabs and snails. Thats about it. Tank is relatively new. It is only 6-8 weeks old.

I got a new carpet anenome. My first anenome. I dont think he is doing too well. He has a little less color and just looks poor. I have fed him a few bitd of brine shrimp, to which he took and closed around it. I have tested my water as well as a lfs. It is great. I use additives by Kent...

What are they? Where do they come from? How do they get in the tank? Dangerous? Can someone give me a run down on these things please. :?: :?: :?: :?:

Can I assume that by the lack of replies, none of you are using the Seaclear tanks? Anyone? Anyone?

Are the Seaclear system II aquariums any good. They have an internal wet/dry filtration system. Does it work? Is it any good? I am planning a 90 or 100gal reef tank. Also is the filtration area in the back of the tank included for in their "100 gal. " figure? Does that make sense? Is the...

I hope you don't mind me asking another question along with yours but I have a similar problem with diatoms. It is getting pretty ugly. What would be a sufficient cleaning crew for an 80 gal reef tank with 80 lbs lr? The tank is newly cycled. Thus far I have an emerald crab and a tiny...

I have an 80 gal. with 80 lbs lr. I currently have two aqualight quad pin 96watt hoods. Yah Yah I know, not enough wattage. That lighting was one of the biggest mistakes I made. They were recommended to me by a local fish store. I believe I will be getting the lunar aqualight with 4-96 watt...

I'll third that statement. I just cycled my first saltwater tank. This is what I learned from my mistakes: At least 1lb of lr per gallon. Get it and set it all at once if possible and be patient. Mine took about a week and I saw amonia in the tank. Eventually it cycled through the amonia...

I have an 80 gal reef tank that just finished its cycle. YAY!! I have diatoms (brown dusty algae) all over. I remove it from the glass with my magnet but what about the live sand and live rocks. They are quickly being covered. Obviously more light = more diatoms. Will this algae go away on...

should I put anything in the tank yet? Couldn't the cycling kill it?

what is a pc of shrimp? OH! a piece of shrimp. I get it. I have nothing to feed in the tank. It is siting there with 80lbs of lr and running. I was told by an experienced guy that i should see a cycle from the lr. Thus far I have only seen a max of .5 on either amonia or nitrite...

My tank is brand new and it is cycling (2 weeks/1 week with live rock). It has developed an ugly brown algae on some of the live sand as well as on the live rock. Is that a good sign or bad? It is not hairy, more like a staining.

I started an 80 gal reef tank. My 1st. Here is its status: first 32lbs live rock seven days ago 2nd 30 lbs live rock six days ago last 18 lbs three days ago. I have a fluval 404 and a rena canister running. Lights on 10 hours a day. Temp currently at 81.3 deg. Salinity at 26.5. Only...

Are you familiar with the lights I am describing from coralife? The white section of the bulb is 10,000k. Im not sure I can fit another hood on the narrow tank, and with a canopy the lights are already effecting the water temp. I could be in trouble.

The tank is 48l x 15w x 30?d. Sorry I forgot the depth. I thimk that is correct.
