My serpent star who I have had for 2 years now has moved to the top of my rock work, lifted its body up as high as it could and released a white substance through vents on the sides of its body. The lights are on, I just did a water change with slightly warmer water then the tank's water. I...

I'm going to be living somewhere where I can't take my 55 gallon. Its disappointing because I'll miss my 55 but I can keep something around 10 gallons. I am wondering what the BEST, commercial nano cube type tank is in the 5-15 gallon range. Price is not really an object, so I'm thinking...

Right now I have 3 110 watt VHO's over my 55, should I add a fourth? I mostly have soft corals but I want a few hard corals in the future.

I got a used 55 gallon tank with stand, canopy and lights for $150. Its an Ice cap 440 ballast driving 3 110watt vho's with built in reflectors and a reflector setup in the canopy. Its sitting filled up, has sand and a little rock. the rest of the stuff gets moved in next week. Shouldn't...

I'm starting a project converting one of my old 10 gallons into a nano with a built in overflow. here is the progress so far. I have to wait for the partition to dry in place before I can finish it.

I have been thinking of switching to T-5 lighting from the PCs that I have now. I was wondering what kind of results people have been getting from this kind of lighting and whether or not its worth it. The reasons for switching are less heat and less wattage per lumen and less bulb replacement...

for 10 bucks! going back to get 2 more when I get paid.

I have a fuge that all I do with is culture pods. I have been thinking about trying to create a sort of transition zone with lr and seagrass with lots of different sorts of inverts in it that one would find in such an area. It would still fix nitrogen and be a home to my pods but would be...

I have a pair of firemouth chiclids and did the basic research before I bought them but I am having trouble finding any specific information concerning behavior and optimum conditions. Right now they are in a lightly planted low light tank with drift wood and rockwork which they hide in...

Is there anything in particular I should know before I get them and put them in my 20G planted tank. I'm picking up 8-9 of them tommorrow if not. I did some searching on them but couldn't really find any more information on them then pretty and hardy fish.

I got some polyps for free from my LFS that are faily well bleached out. I have had them for a week and when I went to feed them along with my zoos and other corals this week they couldn't really grab onto any food. I squirted them some brine shrimp and tried feeding them individualy with...

I just found a marble nerite as a hitchhiker on my live rock and two neat little urchins who were both in my fuge already. not to mention the mysis shrimp in my main tank who still manage to breed despite my mandarin and a new chiton I just found while typing this message. this rock is almost 8...

I will soon have an extra 20 gallon setup all ready and cycled but empty. I have been seeing beautifull pictures of very interesting flatworms out there. I was wondering if there is any way to get a hold of these fascinating creatures. I have done some searching but can't find anything. I...

I'm looking for some small schooling fish for a nano tank that I am setting up for a friend of mine. It is 6 gallons and while I know that it is small if there are fish out there small enough I think 3 would be ok. I have thought about neon gobies but they don't school and are also...

I just did a huge lighting upgrade and have 7 watts per gallon of pc light a mix of 10,000k and 6500k with a little actinic. What are some coral recomendations for this kind of light?

I got a bubble coral at my LFS for really cheap because it was in sad sad shape. It has two living heads left on a sizable skeleton. It already looked better just 10 minutes after I put it in my tank but my problem is this. It expands a little and just puts out its sweepers. I have been...

I have a 10 gallon planted with 5 lemon tetras in it right now and I'm looking for some kind of bottom feeder to clean up what excess food there sometimes is and because new fish are good. I was looking at maybe 3 corys or a bristle nose pleco. What is everybodies opinion? Some other option...

I went to the LFS today to get some peppermint shrimp and came back with 2 shrimp, a Zooanthid Polyp with a green center, a Green Mushroom and a red mushroom all for under 15 bucks. I was wondering the best way to get these shrooms to spread out without cutting them up, I don't want to end up...

I got two yellow tail damsels. My LFS just got them in the best looking shipment of fish I have ever seen, (They also had huge blue green chromis but I decided to pass on them). Very vibrant blue, bright yellow, and really active. Couldn't go home without them. Also picked up some zooanthid...
