As a Christmas present, my mom placed an online order for invertebrates and macroalgae for my tank. One of the things she ordered is a red sponge (which I have been wanting for quite some time). Now that it's close to arrival, I was wondering how to acclimate it properly to my tank. I know they...

Hi all. I usually post in the saltwater section, but I've decided to set up a tank for a Betta. I've already started setting it up, but would like to make sure that I'm going about it the right way. I have a 10 gallon tank filled with tap water. I added water dechlorinator as instructed on the...

I am wanting to sell some caulerpa on eBay, and I'm not sure how to go about shipping it. Does anyone have any pointers? Ps. I'm not exactly sure which category this thread should be placed in so I put it here. Sorry if it's in the wrong place. Sent from my iPhone 5c using Aquarium Advice

Hello. My 90 gallon bow front is leaking from the bottom seal. I need to know what a good sealer or caulk would be aquarium safe because I know that the regular kind is toxic. Also, will I need to empty the tank completely to seal the inside?

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew how to propagate dragons breath macro algae. I have a huge plant in my ninety gallon growing off of one stalk and was wintering if there was any way to take cuttings off the main plant and get them to grow. Thanks! :)

I all. I'm considering purchasing some new lights for my 90 gallon bow front. I'd like to be able to grow some easy sps and lps and soft coral. I found these lights on eBay and they look good to me but I don't really know much about lights. Would these be able to grow sps in a 90 gallon? Thanks! :)

I ordered this dragons breath macro algae on eBay and received it today. Does it look alive?

I bought some caulerpa today and I'm not sure if I should acclimate it. Any opinions welcome. Thanks! :)

He's about two inches. Any tips on what to feed him?

Am I just being to impatient? I went to the lfs last Saturday, the 1st I believe, and got a tiny duncan for my pico. I drip and temp acclimated, and the most expansion of it I've notice is some of the tentacles come out but not fully inflate. It looked great at the lfs. When I turn on the...

I have a small zoa frag in my 90 gallon. Almost every rock has aiptasia on it and I can't tell if they're any baby aiptasia on the frag. I want to mow the frag in to my aiptasia-free pico, but don't want to spread the aiptasia to it. Any way to know i it's safe or not? Thanks!

I have these three mushrooms that I'm not sure the name of. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Hey everyone. I just picke up a small bubble tip, two mushrooms, and I think there's an emerald crab in the rock. How should I acclimate them? They are going into my 8 gallon pico. Thanks! :)

I've had this peppermint shrimp for several months now, and it's body is starting to turn a milky color, opposed to his usual translucent. I'm not sure if he's trying to she because he goes into hiding for about a week before each shed.

There's this one lfs I go to every now and then, and every coral is at least $15. Even a cluster of some common zoas and plays (like maybe 10 polyps a piece) and they sell shrooms one at a time and the small, pale, red ones are $15. I even asked one day why such common and small amounts of...

I know this coral's an acan, but not sure of the name. I just checked on it, and my peppermint shrimp was walking all over it so now it's upset? Thanks!

There's this brownish Jell-O-like thing in my pico that has doubled in size since last week. It started out small and now it's big and there's another small one near it. Really hoping someone has some ideas. I know there's red slime or whatever in the background, but it's slowly disappearing...

Oh gosh, I just found my first zoa-eating nudi! It was crawling all over my zoas in my 90 gallon. I immediately sucked it out and put it in my 8 gallon(?) pest tank (yes I have a whole separate just for pests I find in the 90 gal.) I just can't kill them. I only have one medium size rock with...

I purchased a torch frag the beginning of the week that was part of a 9-10 head colony. The lfs guy got a hammer and chisel and put the colony on the concrete floor and whacked off my frag. When he did this, he crushed one side of it(its splitting so its like an eight shape) and it seemed to be...

I have this dark green algae of some sort growing on the glass of my tank in small circles, and it's such a pain in the butt to scrape off. It's pretty rough too. Thanks.

Will gsp "sting" other corals, such as Xenia? In my pico, I have a nice size rock that is almost completely covered with gsp, but when I bought it there were two clusters of Xenia attached to the part or rock that isn't covered. I've noticed that the Xenia tentacles that are touching the gsp are...

I have a hob skimmer on my ninety gallon, but recently turned it off. It wasn't properly skimming and was putting out a bazillion micro bubbles. Ever since I turned it off, there's been a light tan film on top of the water. I also noticed an almost overnight explosion of reddish/brown algae all...

I have a small colony of Candy Canes in my pico and I'm not sure if/what/how I should be feeding them? Thanks!

Got an early Christmas present from my mum and Grandmum today! It's a four gallon Aqueon with a built in filter. It's quite a change from my 90 gallon, but i wanted one on my nightstand by my bed.The light has 20 white and 2 blue LEDs and the flow is great. I don't have to cycle the water or...

Wednesday of last week, I received a CUC from Reefs2go.com, and I added Nerite snails to the order. 2 tapestry, and 2 regular Nerites. One of my regular ones was on my magnet glass cleaner until last night. I was going to clean the glass now that she(I'm assuming) was finally off, and noticed...
