My bubble tip nems have looked very skinny for over a month now. All my water levels are within normal limits with my only issue there being the Nitrate level spiking up to 40 for a bit, but they are back down to 5. Everybody else in the tank (including my larger bubble tip that the Clarke is...

Hi- I just added a new Sea Clone 100 protein skimmer to my 29 gallon SW tank. Its for "all tanks up to 100 gallons" but its producing a veil of bubbles in the tank. Is this something that will go away? See attached pic.

Hi- like everyone else, I am battling green HA in my 29 gallon SW tank. I recently got a diamond goby which helps the sand a bit and also got 5 turbo snails and a big ol zebra snail. The turbos dont always clean the glass like they should and the green algae covers my glass in a matter of days...

I lost his receipt and cant remember his breed for the life of me.

Hi- I came home today to a huge green algae outbreak and very sickly looking green bubble tip anemones. They are alive but pretty withered and have some dark spots on them. (Maybe algae?) One looks better than the other. Anyhow, I took my levels right away and my pH was 8.4, Ammonia was .25...

Hi- i have 2 bubble tip amenonies. One is normal looking with nice normal tentacles. The others tentacles are getting skinny and shrively. Anyone know why that would happen?

So I am getting an outbreak of red algae all over and I couldn't figure out why till I noticed one of mu red bubble algae was broken open. Im noticing more and more red bubble. What will get rid of those without spreading spores? Is there a certain kind of crab??

So- my new anenomie crawled into a pretty tight hole in a piece of my live rock. I don't know a ton about these guys- should I be worried? Will he come out? He's been in there all day.

Ok- this may be a dumb question, but Im new. What are the red balls? They are growing larger. I know they aren't bad as Ive seen them in lots of other tanks. Id just like to know what they are. Thanks!

So I woke up this morning to discover my anenomie attempted suicide. I found him attached to my small powerhead and my water was pretty cloudy, which I am assuming now is pieces of pureed anenomie. I turned off the powerhead, and before I pull whats left of him out, I wanted to ask is he totally...

I was looking at one of my live rocks tonight and I suddenly saw something like a slug crawling through it. It almost looks like a snail with no shell. Im posting a vid here. Its right below the hermit an you can see it slowly moving. What the heck is it!? http://youtu.be/DoUwy9g-m7w

(I know I spelled it wrong.....) Does this look like an OK spot to place my new annenomie? Is it too rough of a terrain for it to move around? I tried to pick it up and move it but it's pretty anchored so I just left it.

So I moved my frag plate and the stem was too long, so I just took a serrated knife and cut the plaster stem. It was out of the water for a minute, but the sawing was pretty rough. Nothing happened to it during the cutting but it hasn't opened back up yet. Pic is attached- could I have killed it...

Hi- my tank is a couple weeks old now and i am starting to see some good growth in the sand and on the live rocks. However, I am still not 100% positive at what I am looking at. Over the last day, the brown growth has become heavier on the rock. I attached a pic of the front of the rock (which...

Hi- I have a new 29 gallon saltwater tank thats been up and running now for about a week and a half. I have 30 pounds of live sand mixed in with 20 pounds of regular dry sand, 4 live rocks, 3 fresh water mollies, 2 clowns, 2 blue yellowtail damsels, 5 blue leg hermit crabs, 2red leg hermit...
