Can anyone ID this little guy? My 10 year old had the best time catching these little fish with a tiny bite of shrimp on a line tied to his fingers in knee deep water. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

During my last water change, I cut the tubing on my return pump to make it shorter. Mr. X had indicated on one of my other threads that it didn't need to be that long. From that discussion, I figured I could make it shorter and increase the flow to my DT. Now, it seems like the DT can't drain...

Just noticed my first "worm" today...actually two of them, which means there are probably more. They are so tiny that they will probably be hard to identify. I'll attach a pic as a second post because I have to use the phone to upload. Its a very clear shot, but they are so tiny that you have...

It is releasing a white liquid like substance that floats up like wisps of smoke. Will it harm my tank?

I've got this feisty white growth in my live rock. It's spreading over the coralline and looks like ice crystals forming on a glass pane. Any ideas? Will it take over and cover my coralline?

Just got a new 5 stage RODI system from BRS. Now its time to do the install! Didn't get it done last weekend, so taking it on this weeked. Still don't know how to get water to the Brute I use for mixing my saltwater. I've got the setup with the 3 gallon storage tank and water dispenser...

My sponge is a different color now. It was just a creamy white, now looks like a rusty colored dust on it. Ive got the same dust on my power head and I just pulled it out and wiped it off. Tried to blow it off the sponge but it is there to stay. There are some teeny tiny snails that like to hang...

I'm getting ready to give my QT a dose of cupramine. Most have advised to get a copper test kit to carefully watch the levels. Problem is, I can't find one! I've looked at petsmart and Petco. Can someone please tell me exactly what I'm looking for. Is it something I can get at the hardware...

See the small green thing in the middle? Very tiny. The leaves are translucent. Could be like little bubbles. Any ideas?

What are the little white pineapple looking things? Several of them have popped up over the past month. There are two of them in the photo. The one on the left is in better focus.

At the base of the rock is a tiny white cylinder that looks like it is made from sand. It has 2 brown antennae sticking out the end. Whole thing might be 1/2 inch long. Any ideas what it might be?

Just got the tuxedo urchin over the weekend. Wondering what these disks are on top. I don't see them in any of the photos/articles I find online.

Just added a coral beauty to my tank today. It looked perfectly healthy at the store. A vigorous swimmer. Been through the acclimation process this afternoon and have had lights off in tank. It's been about 3 hours since I released the fish into the tank. He's been exploring the rock caves and...

Just saw this white " flower" on my rock. As I was admiring it, it suddenly retracted and was gone! Slowly it inched its way back open again. When a fish passes by it will close up and disappear. Any ideas what it might be?

I'm afraid I did things backwards. I brought home the quarantine supplies with my new fish. Now I'm reading I should have been soaking my filter in my sump for a few weeks so it can transfer the BB to the QT. I have extra live rock down in my sump. Since I didn't soak any type of filter, can...

My boys caught a couple of these guys off the Texas Gulf coast. They stay buried under the sand until I feed the fish, then out they come! They have one long antenna that usually stays above the sand when they go under. Hard to tell from the pic, but the shell is elongated and very smooth.

My mom is thinking of a 29 gallon bio cube. Can y'all offer any advice on them? This would be her first salt tank. She has lots of experience with fresh.

He's a beauty but is he really the terror of the tank that I read about?

This is one of the first things that appeared on my live rock. It's a dark pink floret of sorts (my term for lack of something better) It may be growing a little but not really noticeable. Lots if them are popping up now. I wonder what they are?

I've tried to ID myself. Probably looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help me?

I have a sponge, coral or something and I need help with ID. Don't know how to send - post an image to this site from my iphone

I have new 75 gallon tank that I started on June 22. I started with 80 lbs live sand and 65 lbs live rock plus another 50 lbs of "old" live rock that sat dry for a while. I have some things growing on the rock now and I need help identifying it. I've looked in hitchhiker guides, but don't...

The hose just came off my pump and it started spewing water everywhere. Luckily I was near the tank and shut it off quickly. Still had lots of water to clean up inside my stand and on my carpet. Surely I'm not the first.... Any advice on how to keep the hose attached to the pump? How...

:fish2:I've had freshwater aquariums off and on throughout the years. Now I'm back at it again. My 9 year old, Tanner, absolutely loves this hobby! So we are working on a tank in his room. A little story (skip it if you want to): We live in the country and my neighbor has a 2 acre stock...

I got an email from a vendor saying they had limited quantities of Tonga Live Rock. They said it has been off the market for about 9 years and they are now allowed to import it again. Is it really all it is built up to be? If I am just now building my tank, should consider Tonga over Fiji...
