Have an interesting light red macroalgae growing on my powerhead. Wanted to know if anyone has a clue what is b/c idk how it got there.

Not sure which one to get for my 70 gallon, 5 foot long reef tank. Leaning towards the wp40 but not sure if it would be too much? Thanks.

Bought a huge clam a few days ago and it's not as open as it was before. Is it okay to move it 4" up to a rock for more light? New to keeping clams so any advice would be great. My parameters are ideal so I'm guessing it needs higher lighting or a place to attach?

This seems like a silly question, but how would a mp10 vortech on a 70 gallon reef work out? It's weird dimensions so it's 5 ft long, but I'd only really need flow to reach half way. I know they're overpowered, but just how much? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience or know if this automatic brine shrimp feeder works? I want to use it for pipefish. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=10692

I had a 10 gallon tank hanging around so it begins... I say "secret" because my parents will be surprised to find another tank...ha..ha.. Although rare, I can perhaps acquire a orange spotted black angler. If not, then a small red, orange, or yellow angler. First question: I have an...

Just picked up a tiny frag tank and sump for free and thought I'd document my progress and cost. I'll be using a metal rack for a stand, and already have the pump and most of the plumbing so no cost there. All that's missing is a MH light and a skimmer. Hoping to keep costs around $100.

Sorry to start yet another thread about ich, but I'd like to clarify. It seems it is possible for a healthy fish to fight off ich on their own, but that means the ich will still be in the water column? If the ich from my fish dies off and I add new fish, they'll get ich? Just trying to...

I'm looking for a fan that can cool my tank & isn't too loud or bulky. I was looking at this, but has bad reviews. I'm looking for something to cool down my tank 2-4 degrees (not a chiller) if that's possible. UP Aqua Flexible Aquarium Cooling Fan Anyone have experience w/ this brand which is...

This seems like a stupid question, but just for clarity or reassurance...I have a tube anemone that almost always comes out at night and adding a CB butterfly would still be a bad idea correct? Thanks.

I got a used tank from a guy who had fish w/ ich. He had just coral for 6 weeks and no fish. Can ich still be living in the sand, rock, or attached to some hermits/nassarius snails?

Hey people, how's life? Hope it's going great. Well, this tank be for my mom, to put in her office, but I'll be the one doing all the work. The main attraction will be one male and female H. Kuda seahorses. Tonight I'm going to buy a whole 50 gallon starphire rimless cube setup (that's a lot to...

It's time for me to replace my lights and might want to change the colors choices (currently have 6 ati bulbs). What are your favorite combos for your tank?

Has a green base and small red polyps. Looks almost like a chili monti but not quite. What do you think?

So I'm planning on picking up a dragonface pipefish this Thursday. It would be going in my 70 gallon mixed reef tank. I've only seen these pipefish in mixed reef tanks (both times they were SPS dominant with high flow and lots of fish), but a lot of info is leaning towards treating them like...

Yesterday I got what seems to be a carnation coral. I know a little but about them based off of liveaquaria's description, but is there any tips or experiences people have to make them thrive? Only half of the polyps are open. I have marine snow, live brine shrimp, and I need to get...

What's the best way to start a siphon on a CPR overflow? I heard drilling a hole in the middle of the tube and glueing in airline tubing attached to an aqualifter pump works?

I got a green long tip anemone 2 days ago. Yesterday it was large and healthy. Today it's deflated and the a little larger than a quarter when it's usually 4 or 5". The tank is 6 months old and 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 2 ppm nitrate. Any ideas?

So stoked! Went to my LFS today and they had a bright red angler. It looks full grown, because it's 4" I'd say. It eats krill, squid, etc. so that's a plus. I put the angler on hold for a week or less b/c it's really expensive. I've had this 20 gallon tank that I used for a quarantine/hospital...

It's probably 5 inches when it's fully open. The owner said it was an acan, but it looks completely different.

So I'm upgrading from a 10 gallon to a 55! Got the tank, stand, and overflow for $100 from CG. I'm planning on using the 10 as a sump. I could really use some help as I'm more into SW and feel like a newbie in the FW world. 1. I bought 2 bags of Organic Miracle Grow soil...does this work? If...

My overflow is basically a pipe with slits in it. Recently my cleaner wrasse has gotten sucked into it down to the filter sock in my sump and died. A few days later my chromis disappeared. I just found him today in the sump (I took the sock out). How can I prevent this from happening? Both fish...

A section of my (white) feather duster will turn light green for a few seconds then turn back white. Is this a sign of stress? I just got it yesterday.

I'm getting a female next week. Some guy who was moving out of the country had her for 2 years and gave it to my LFS so it is already used to a captive diet. My question is though, do I need a acclimation/breeder box to put the wrasse in for 2-3 days b/c I already have a cleaner wrasse? I read...

I left out spirulina and rotifers frozen cubes overnight (12 hours). Can I still use them? I don't want to harm my fish, but what are the risks if I do use them? Thanks in advance.
