I was just giving my tank the once over and discovered some new growth on it. The tank has been established for about 3 months now and the rock was cured when it was put in the tank. Water params are all great, and I have yet to loose a fish (knock on wood). I'm not running a fancy light its...

I'm going to be taking a week vacation for the first time since I've setup my SW tank. I'm unsure about having someone come and feed them for me while I'm gone. I've had no problems with the tank or critters thus far and think they will be fine for a week without someone peeking in the glass at...

Over the past week or two my hermit crabs have been busy, at least I hope. They've been moving the extra shells that I have laying in the san to different corners of the tank. Occasionally they'll come out and seach the sand for food, but then get right back to their corner. When I came home...

I'm picking up a hospital tank this weekend. How large/small should I bee looking at getting?

I just noticed that one of my clowns has a large white "pimple" on his lower jaw. Sorry about the picture quality but he doesn't like to hold still for the camera. Any ideas?

I'm thinking of adding a small yellow tang into my mix. I have a 40G tank with 2 percula clowns and 4 damsels. If I had to lose a couple of the Damsels to make room for the tang I would. Any thoughts?

Anyone have any experience with these snails, I put 8 into my 40g tank tonight and I can already notice a distance where they've been working the glass. Please don't burst my bubble I think I like them, but I hope they're going to do more good than bad!

I've got a 40g tank that has been running about 1 month now. I was expecting to start getting some algee and it's comming fast and furious now. It's a brown color and it's forming on all of the glass. I've put in 6 hermit craps to clean up the scrap food that's in the tank and put in 6 small...

I'm looking to add a small clean up crew to my 40 gal SW tank. Right now I've got 40lbs of LR, 2 Perc Clowns, a 4 assorted Damsels. I was thinking of a couple of emerald crabs but I'm not sure what effect they will have on my existing fish and future, long ways down the road, coral? How large...

Has any keept a toadstool coral or know how difficult they are to keep. My LFS has one and it's incredible, but I'm not sure what it's specific needs are. I'd like to get a couple perc clowns to host it if it wouldn't cause me any grief. Thanks

I've had my new 40g Reef tank running for about 2 weeks now. Running a Eheim 2215 (160gph) Canister filter, Prizim Protein Skimmer (no problems yet) and 2 - Maxi-Jet 900 Power Heads (2x230gph). I've got 40lbs of live rock and 40lbs of Carib Sea Reef Sand. Tank is currently cycling waiting to...

Whats the general agreement on a lid for your aquarium. When I ran my FW, it always had a lid. As i was looking at some of the tank photos I noticed that alot of SW tank's don't have lids? Is there some reasioning to this, lighting issues perhaps? Does this not create a large increase i the...

I have a 40g tank, running with a 200gph Eheim Canister filter and a skimmer that I'd say cycles 40-50gph. Should I add a powerhead to get increased circulation or does what I have sound sufficient? What is the typical target range for circulation gph?

So I know that alot of people don't have many good things to say about the HOB Prizim Skimmers but that's too late for me now. The Prizm can very highly recommended to me from my LFS, but i'm finding it tough to adjust it properly. Does anyone have one of these skimmers, if so are there any...

I've moved from the FW to SW tank hobby. I'm just wondering if there's anyone in Calgary, Alberta that can recommend a good LFS to buy stuff from (or tell me to keep away from), and if anyone in Canada has bought any LR, fish, coral over the internet and what Canada Customs had to say about it?

Hi All, I'm new here and it seems like someone knows the answer to everything here! I'm converting my 40g FW tank to SW. I set up everything and left the SW running for a week. Then I went to the LFS and bought 20# of LR, I'll buy more in the near future. The LR has been in the tank for 5 days...
