We have decided to tear down our 46 bf and condense all of our favorite fish and coral into a 24g jbj inorder to make our living room a little more spacious Any other time i have transferred tanks i have been upgrading, my question is should i use my old sand bed in my nano cube? Or just start...

I recently switched my 55gallon to a 46 gallon bow front. now there are tiny bubbles coming out from the trickle system through the return. it is so bad it almost makes the tank look cloudy, i thought they would wrk themselves out since we just set everything up, but they are really starting...

:( Last night I got home and noticed all my fish in the back corner of the tank, I look to see the they are all eating my brittle star fish, and that she is still alive, trying to escape them. They literally ate pretty much her whole body, but her legs were still moving for hours after i...

I recently downsized my 55g to a 46 bow front. I didnt want to risk a mini cycle so i used all my rock and water from the old system, i also used the same sand bed i just used about half of what was in my 55, and plan on adding some new. Anyways, its been about 72 hours and my water is still...

As soon as I added my starry blenny, him and my coral banded shrimp have not separated. I watched him let the shrimp clean out the inside of his mouth. Just thought it was interesting and if anyone else noticed a relationship like this.

Hey everyone! I feel like I am finally getting a grip of the saltwater thing and that everything is starting to stabilize, as far as feeding, water changes, fish health, equipment, water par. etc. So now my question is, how do i get more coral to thrive not survive. I have a 55 gallon reef...

He picture doesn't do justice how cloudy my tank is. My test kit is out so I'm about to run to my LFS and I will post parameters soon and get water for a water change. Until then, any ideas what's going on? Over the last week I have added a RTBA , a starry blenny, and a pound of Lr with coral...

Picked this up at the frag swap yesterday. They had it just sitting in a little tub on the desk so I was Worried if that plus the hour card ride would be okay but I did it anyways. Today I noticed these white spots and I feel like it shouldn't be that stringy... :(

The Cora convention was a successful trip! Picked up BTA or a great price it's beautiful. Also picked up this guy:) I've doubled the sand bed since I took this picture to nearly 8 inches. And he eats frozen!! Any tips or success stories?? His only tank mate is a toby puff

:( I am going on vacation. This is the first time leaving my tank for more than just over night. I have a coworker/friend staying at my house to care for fish and dogs. What are good things to remind him of? Also- My biggest concern is my itty bitty baby mandarin. Im still plumping him up...

I was at my LFS and they have this tiny little black jelly fish! It was only 20 and it was so fun to watch. They were busy and I was in a hurry so I didn't ask about it. But when I came home to research I am coming up with very little info. Anyone heard of these? What kind of care? Experience?

Looked on live aquaria for fun and noticed they listed them as semi aggressive. Anyone experience them being aggressive toward inverts or fish? I do have a tiny baby mandarin , but I thought brittles just clean up and eat shrimp not fish hunters.

I have a baby mandarin in my 55g, i had pods in my system before i got him, i grow cheato in the sump.I also do a pod condo type thing with some filter media switching between sump and dt. I also got him eating most prepared foods, and occasionally when i hatch them hatched brine. But i also...

I left for work and everything was fine. Came home to this. Is this ich? Could it have developed so quickly? He is eating and swimming normal. Also you can't tell by the photo but there are white specs on his eyes too. Could it be sand..? What are my options? A plan of action. Please

We just got the most precious tiny baby mandarin at the LFS. She was so skinny, it was pretty much a rescue situation i couldn't leave her there. I'm no expert but I figured I had more of a chance of saving her then the LFS seeing as they had her in a tank with no substrate and were feeding...

Was at the LFS and grabbed this little guy last minute as an impulse for 4 bucks. Guy said he was a fiddler crab and reef safe After some research I'm doubting that its a fiddler because they go on the land? Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!!
