I dont have equip for doimg my own water...

2 yr old 40 gallon. shrooms and xenias tiny frags now taking over!

the shrooms and xenias move and grow super fast. lately i have to keep pulling off shrooms and throwing them to the back of the tank where there is room. seems like 1 splits daily lately, all from one. funny thing is i have 1 ricordia down fromt that hasnt grown in 2 years, only one. I have no...

2 years ago I started a tank with a bunch of live rock and some soft coral. All of my zoas have gone but the xenias, mushrooms and star polyps have grown out of control!! 1 large mushroom the size of my fist is now 25 the size of a fist and xenias the size of a pinky finger now the size of a...

a stomatella snail. very good for your tank.

looks like an anemome. from pics i have seen, could be a small magnificent anemome. in your pics it looks like the colors are purple and blue. did i come on some LR or u buy it at a LFS?

good call. got a call from the wife this morning. shed his skeleton and looks great again!! my emerald crab is almost 6 months in my tank and pretty big and hearty. still has never shed his skeleton. looks crusty, my shrimp seem to shed every other week!

thanks for tips. i hope a molt is all it is. looks more like a dark slime covering the top of his body. hope it goes away, he looked very cool.

my white anemone crab was textbook white with spots. now he is turning brown. i assume algae growing all over? anyone have any ideas? im over my quota for pics so it wont let me post any. sorry.

here are some pics. he tunneled from the hole on the left side to the right of the tank. pushed the sand all up around the pvc. had to move some coral.

ill take one tonight. 48 hrs later he has borrowed from one end to the other with prob 6 or 7 holes in the sand under all the rocks. the lil guy jas to be worn out by now. all the fish still chillin and watching. at one point my 2 clowns goby and blenny were on the brain relaxing. tried to get a...

i had the same prob. no patients to set traps or wait for hours. got 3, 5 gallon buckets, and emptied my live rock and coral to catch my fish. they were in the buckets filled w my tank water for close to 5 hours while the sand resettled and i could put the rock back. nothing died. everybody was...

my condy stays in the top rear corner of my tank, but once a week or so he is floating around. he moves alot in my tank and i have to keep a close eye cause he will attach to my zoas and anything it lands on. very hardy though. survived being sucked in the filter head. i literally pick him up in...

cool. after 24 hrs, he has built shangra la under a big rock. 2 cave holes on either side. havent seen him out though. do they hide all the time?

So my watchman goby has been depressed for weeks hiding in the rocks not even coming out to eat since i rearranged my tank. he was hosting 2 camel shrimp and 1 disappeared. So uesterday i got him a pistol shrimp. within less than a min he was borrowing under my brain coral and the goby excitedy...

most articles you find online tell you why u shouldnt have one. just keep searching the web and you can find optomistic people that can help you and give advise as to how to care for one. everyone will say the same thing on this forum....dont get one.

i have subscribed to 3 different reef magazines, bought several books from different bookstores and research the web like crazy. i spend alot of time with my tank. always checking and watching. not everyone has that much time to concentrate on the hobby. i recently moved to MO from AZ, i have a...

sounds like a future premier episode of "when animals attach". i always hear about octopi crawling out of the tank? where are they going? dont they need water to live? if the biggest worry is finding or stepping on your killer octopus in the middle of the livingroom, couldnt you just get a...

i know right! i thought about getting my wife a gun for protection but wound up getting her a loaded octopus instead. with the exception of a few master aquarists of the aquatic universe on here, you wont find many supporters of aquiring marine life other than damsels and snails. granted, ive...

no reason you cant have a tank that looks like any of those 3. have u gotten any books or magazines and researched reef tanks? your LFS would have the corals. u can buy grown or fragments and place them around live rock. the lighting should be ok, not sure if it has led or T5 lighting, again...
