My husband and I gave someone a free serpent star and some snails. I advised them ahead of time that they will need to remove them as I will not be able to. While he was removing them I turned my back to talk to my daughter. Shortly after he said something stung him and ran warm water on his...

Our 4 year old daughter was trying to help is clean the house for a birthday party by cleaning the windows. The next morning (today) all our fish are dead. We couldn't figure out what happened!! We found out our daughter had used window cleaner to clean the sump and it got into the water. She...

We have a 75 gallon with 2 clownfish, 1 bubble tip anemone, 1 urchin and 1 Condy anemone. We just removed a yellow clown goby that was dying from the tank.

We have started another 75 gallon aquarium. We want to put Ocellaris clown fish in it, Can we have more than 2 in there? We want at least 2 anemones. What other suggestions for fish? We are trying out a sand less bottom.

What is the stuff by my snails?

We had a large thunderstorm that knocked out our power. Our sump flooded and we lost about 10 gallons on the floor. It leaked into the basement now everything (including our computer) is soaked. Should we move the tank? Will the floor not be as stable? What should we do? It is a 75 gallon.

We have a 75 gallon that we are wanting to add another fish too and looking for ideas on what we should get. We currently have 2 fuzzy dwarf lion fish and 1 snowflake eel. Lots of live rock, 1 Kenya tree, button polyps, 2 mushrooms. I want an open swimmer so the tank doesn't look so empty :) We...

Our 75 gallon is reaching 84-85 degrees. So far we have kept the lights off today, kept the canopy open. 2 large fans on the sump with the stand open. The A/C is very poor in our house right now at 85 degrees in the whole house! Every time we try to take off the top our eel try's to escape. Any...

Our new baby fuzzy dwarf lion fish eating for the first time!

We need at least 3 more wavemakers and I am not sure which one to get. For our 75 we just need a little more movement. The first picture is of this one. The second is for our 35 which needs a lot more flow! Since the last one died on us awhile back. I want a high quality one that will last. Our...

Our light went our today. I can't get to the store for a few days. I want to make sure our bubble tip will be ok until then. We use a coralife 50/50 96 watt. Until we get a new light we are using an old light bar. It is a ZooMed F15T8 50/50 reef sun 18 inches. Will it be ok? Also while I'm...

We got my little sister an aquarium. For the time being we are keeping it at our house since she is out of town for a week. Before she left we got everything up and running. Then we purchased some fish. One is an African dwarf frog. He is not eating (at least what I have seen) and is loosing...

First off are my clowns full grown? I thought they got bigger but now I am starting to second guess myself. They have been acting unusual, so I did some research and they seem to be mating or trying to. But I thought they were still babies themselves. Any help would be great! Thank you! The...

We are having a very difficult time getting Alice (FDLF) over to prepared foods. (you might have read on other posts) Right now all she will eat is live ghost shrimp (soaked in garlic) we have tried: Dead ghost shrimp, rods food, mysis, freeze dried jumbo krill, fresh cocktail shrimp and thawed...

It snowflake eel has a crooked jaw. We purchased her like this and we were told it is normal. Now we are starting to wonder if that is true. She ate for the first time in front of us tonight. Before we would put food down there and she would eat it but we couldn't see her. When she is eating she...

We started phytofeast (spelling?) to our corals about a week ago. Since then we have gotten this light green algae on the sand bed. Is this the cause of the algae? Our levels are normal. If it is what should I feed them instead? How do I get rid of it? Thank you!

We have been waiting for a yellow long nose butterfly for a month. The first one at the LFS had fin damage and they were treating him. After he was healed a new person accidentally sold him :( after a few more weeks they got another one. He looked perfect with no problems. So we brought him...

We just got two 8 gallon Biocubes. we are wanting to do one with mostly coral. Maybe 1-2 fish if possible. What fish and/or coral do you suggest? For the second one we want to do dwarf seahorses. Any information on either tank would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We only use RO/DI water. With weekly 15% water changes and cleaning of the sand. But we are still...

Thought we were doing great with our saltwater. Our seahorses are doing great so far. But our 75 gallon we are having some trouble with. We just introduced a lion fish tonight. He was not doing well and passed away. We tested out water and it was all normal. But our nitrates were a little high...

We just got a fuzzy dwarf lionfish. When we put him in the tank he laid on the sand and hasn't moved in an hour. Is this normal or is he dying? We acclimated him for 3 hours

We have cycled our 75 gallon and our first fish for this tank will be a Fuzzy dwarf lion fish. We were told he will be about 2 inches long. What other fish can we put in there with him? I have tried to do some research on it but I am getting mixed comments about it. What do you guys suggest...

We are setting up a 42 hex aquarium this weekend for only seahorses. Do they need different type of light than a regular saltwater? We already have live rock but ever where I have read they don't say anything about live sand. What kind of sand do you suggest, filtration and branches for them. As...
