If you get a dead egg, they should replace it for you. Google what live and dead shark eggs look like and you should be able to tell upon its arrival. I would hatch it in the 75 if you can. If it doesn't eat and you need to "help" it, it's easier to get out that way. I had to do that for over a...

Keep me posted. Fingers crossed! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Looks good. Just be sure to keep it clean so algae doesn't clog it up. That's a pretty good idea and might try it with a tank that I got. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I would do slits in the pipe instead of one long open cut. That would be safer for small critters so they don't get sucked in. Other than that, it looks like a good idea Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

If you order one or get one from your lfs, you can easily tell I they are alive or not. The shark inside the egg will be moving around periodically. It can take months to hatch. When I got my shark egg, it took over a month to hatch. It was already a few inches long though when I bought the egg...

Awesome fish!! Great pic Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Definitely needs an Angelfish? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The new fish aren't very big right now, but I'll keep an eye out on the parameters. I QT for four weeks unless there's any sign of a problem. Then it's four weeks after they clear up. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

He eel survived luckily, along with the wrasse and trigger. Pretty hardy fish apparently Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Predator tanks are awesome!! A puffer would be good in there as well as the triggers. The tank would be too small for any groupers as they get very territorial and harass tank mates to death most likely. Just my opinion and experience with groupers. I had a miniatus grouper in a 300g tank and it...

Well time for an update since it's been some time. The clown tang wiped out the entire tank except for the Niger trigger, lunare wrasse, and the zebra eel. Not happy at all. It was a week or two after I got it that things started going down hill. I don't know what it had, but infected everyone...

I have a lunar in my 300 gallon tank. Added a bird wrasse a few weeks ago. It chased it for the first few days and the bird hid for about a week. They get along pretty well now, but lunar is still more aggressive towards it. My lunar is about 7-8 inches and the bird is 5-6 inches. Just my...

Sounds like a sponge to me. Mine come and go often. Get a little size to them and suddenly they're gone. Little ones pop up too.

Thank you for identifying it. I have a few more rocks with them growing. I like them a lot and hope to get them to cover all the rocks.

Each one is about three inches in diameter.

You'd be surprised how long some things can last. Keep an eye on them and watch if you have a bunch of snails for your clean up crew. May be pods too. They shouldn't hurt anything, so just clean the glass if you don't want to see them.

Attaching a couple pics of a single one. And one of its parent colony.

Usually those are snails eggs from what I've read. Odd to happen so fast in a brand new tank. If you bought it used, they may have come with the tank.

You should be okay if your fish are healthy. I took a weekend trip only to have a family emergency and was gone for a week and a half. Luckily I shut off the sump pumps in my tanks as I don't have an auto top off. The fish were fine and soft corals came back a few days of the pumps turning back...

Since your tank is only five feet long, I wouldn't recommend having a shark. The closest you could get is a banded shark, but as an adult, your tank is too small. They get up to three feet long. They'd barely move and have to turn around again. Sorry. There are some smaller rays that might be an...

Petco carries the 1$ Per gallon on occasion. You may check their sales. 55g tank would be 55$. Not bad. But... It's a good excuse to go bigger!!

Not sure about gorilla glue, but silicone should work well for what you are doing.

Your best bet, if your friend wants to try something, would be soft corals like mushrooms or something similar. I definitely wouldn't spend a lot of money on that project though.

I'm sure they need to feel a threat to school like that. (No scientific facts to add, just thinking out loud). Maybe add a barracuda or a large grouper in there, and I'm sure they'd start schooling... Lol.

That question has a lot of variables to it. There is no exact answer for you. Water quality, nutrients, health, etc are just a few to name. I've had my coral banded shrimp for about six months, and it has molted three or four times. But again, there is no way to say for sure.
