I was hoping you would answer Fluff.. I believe the red stuff is some type of macro. It has fairly wide leaves, so it looks like a plant more than anything. Ill try better pics, but not until tomorrow.. Thanks for the post!!

Hi all, My tank has been set up approx 5 months. Most of the rock is only about 4 months old except two pieces that are about 3 years old. The new rock has growth that I need help identifying. 1. The large rust color growth in the center of the pic. 2 & 3. The red grassy growth over most...

I was aware that I could leave it off, but I just wanted to try it out. Yes, everything is totally brand new. Well, thats what happened.. It does look like soap, huh? The bubbles go away quickly, but still.. it dosent seem right. It has to be something with the water I would guess. I did put...

I don't think its supposed to work like this... LOL.. Get this. New tank, sump, water, skimmer etc.. Plug in the skimmer last night and its been going crazy ever since. Could the be a result of the water being too deep? I did put a new piece of pad under the sump intake to make it more quiet...

Thanks for the advice/ID Fluff! You too Gina D! I have a real crappy camera and it has no zoom (wahhh)... Anyway, I know what they are now.. I think I will rid my rocks of as many as possible.. I don't really think I want them hanging around because they've already got my filter all clogged.

QTip huh? DO they multiply like crazy? These do.. Here are some other pics.. They also have a round crown. Ill look though. OH!! OK Fluff, you got it!!! They look just like this http://www.reef-aquarium.net/resources/livestock/critters/sponges.html Thanks a bunch. Setting up a new tank and...

I found this growing in my tank about two months after adding a small pc of live rock. I've found them in my filter housing and in small colonies here and there, usually in the shade of or behind rocks. They start out looking like maggots, but they don't move. I have a feeling this isn't going...

Yeah, I read that at one point.. He has not touched the feather duster yet, and that is what I was most afraid of.. He just threatens everyone as they pass.. Well, now I guess I should be concerned with stress to is buddies.. Still, everyone seems happy so far..

WOW 8O .. Now that's completely contrary to what I've heard and read about CBS. Ive been checking on him all night.. He is being a good boy- or girl.. I have no idea what to name him though.. Mayby bandit? Naw, that's too Duke's of Hazzard... Hmmm...

I did end up acclimating longer. It ended up being about two hours because I got side tracked (computer). I did say earlier in the post I was getting a CBS... I think... Yeah, someone warned me that they like the taste of other shrimp. However, I have to say he is pretty much to himself. He...

OK.. No pics.. Can't get clear ones... Stupid autofocus camera focuses on the glass. Anyway, all is well.. The shrimp IS a little aggressive, but everyone seems to be getting along fine. I pd 8.99 for the CB Shrimp and 5.99 for the feather duster - Just for reference Flanque.

Still workin on him. I have no drip set up so I'm adding about 1/4 cup - or a little less of water every 15 mins. He has been in there for a while now.. Ill let him go in a few. An hour should be good. Of course the LFS said 15 mins, and acted all concerned about the crab from hell... One...

I'm back with my shrimp and it's floating around the tank getting used to the surroundings. Once I set her - him free, I'll post a pic. If anyone wants to see. I'm such a proud new papa.. Heh.. Now, I just hope the feather duster comes out.

Most topics Ive seen seem to imply they should be pretty safe. They keep them with the feathers in the LFS, and I've seen pictures of them in many reef tanks. They look great, I've been eyeing them for some time. No plans for more shrimp, so thats not a factor for me. Unless I get a big STOP in...

AAAARRG!!! I got home from work an hour ago... I found three or four feathers around my duster's tube, a sneaky lil arrow crab standing there trying to look innocent 8) and no sign of the worm! Actually, I think I can see him way down in the tube in a somewhat translucent area. I kinda buried...

OK all. I guess he goes back to Jail. I always chuckle to myself when I see people posting questions about issues that have come about from impulse buying, and here I did exactly that! Thanks for the advice!

After discussing the temperament of arrow crabs with the associate at my LFS, I decided to give one a try. They’re pretty cool looking, and the guy at the LFS assured me he would be kind to his tankmates, which includes the following Blue damsel Yellow damsel Tomato Clown Feather duster Hermits...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post lando, and I appreciate all of the advice. I have one last question regarding the skimmer. It seems the CPR Bak Pak2 would be the best choice as it was recommended by the LFS and I’ve read some pretty descent on line reviews. However, I am somewhat...

Hey Hoosier, are you already gone?

Hey all. I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching and reading all of the advice for a few months. 8) I've kept a FOWLR tank for about three years with a fairly descent level of success. I’ve had my casualties just like everyone else, but how else do we learn but from experience? I’m...
