    Sea spiders??

    Id on the web looking strings in the photo? A week ago my 6line jumped out of my tank, on Friday my starry blenny died under a rock, gasping for life. These things aren't related? Are they? But what about those strings in the pic. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I just got a new 425gph power head from hydor, its my second PH in my tank. I'm plugging it in and nothing happens. I've tried it about 50 f*ing times and still nothing.

    Algae problem....

    My tank is approximately 1 year and 4 months old, and this algae on the power head has only been showing and growing for about 3 month's now. How can I stop this? Really the only issue I see is the algae disrupting the flow.

    I currently have a 29 gallon FOWLR with only a tomato clown and a azure damsel, among a few peppermint shrimp, Margarita snails, etc... but I'm looking to add something new. I'm kinda leaning in the way of a blenny but would like some more options. I like Midas blennys, and black combtooths

    Tomato clown digging up substrate>

    I have a 29g FOWLR and tomato clown, I think, has kinda created a burrow next to the spot he sleeps by. Is this normal? I once had a maroon clown that stayed in the same corner and burrowed almost the whole corner of substrate out and within a couple of weeks of him starting that, he died...

    Looking for something to match well with my azure damsel?

    I'm tired of waiting for this fish to die, I've tried to catch him but gave up, and I'm not going to be rearranging my aqua scape any time soon. So, I would like some ideas on what will pair well with this fish in a 29g. It is the only fish in the tank.

    Maroon clown*

    Clown fish host anemone, I have heard that clowns like to "host" things like rocks and corners also. Could this be what my maroon clown has done? He has gone down to the bottom of his little corner where he chills a lot during the day and where he sleeps. Is that normal?
