    Pods

    How do i get pods in my tank? I know they come from the live rocks and from plants like the cheato. But say if all the pods died off how can i create more pods? Or do they just reproduce off bacteria on the rocks and plants?

    8 line wrasse

    Do they eat formula 2? My wrasse seems to not be eating it. All its eating now are little pods it finds in the tank.

    help all fish died overnight

    i did a water change after all the fish died becuase i still have coral in the tank and i wanted them to survive... As for the ammonia, it is probably due to overfeeding becuase my fish had a little ick and i wanted to feed it a little more so i can grow a better immune system.

    help all fish died overnight

    I woudnt think its the ammonia or a disease tho because during the day time they were swimming normally and eating. Could it be possible that the sponges i put in the overflow box cut off the fishes oxygen or something like that?

    anenome question

    I got a bubble tip anemome today. I have a maroon clown fish in my tank and it hosted it within 20 mins after i put it in. It kinda looked like it forced it open and now is pretty rough with it. It rubs against the tenticles pretty hard. Is this a problem or is this normal behavior?

    Freshwater/High salinity dip

    I think i may have a mantis shrimp in my live rocks. I did a salted carbonated water dip but nothing came out. I was thinking of trying either a freshwater or high salinity dip. What is the difference in the two in terms of perserving life and corrline algae?
