Heres one from the "My fish is swimming upside down" book I have a tomato clown that has been in a well established tank for atleast 2 months. His only other tank mates are a PJ cardinal, and a Coral banded shrimp, and a few craps for cleanup. Tonight I fed them, a small pinch of flakes...

Well I cant show you the picture because its too big, But I bought a Yello Tang today, He's a little guy, The tank he was in looked great and every body looked pretty good. I brougt him home, let him adjust for an hour and set him loose. A few hours after that, I noticed little white spots...

This guy has been doing this for the last few nights. He dosnt do it every night, but he will only do it at night. As you might be able to see in the pic, he will withdraw his tenticles, all the way inside his body. Is this a normal cycle, or is something going bad? I have only had him for a...

A college buddy got me into saltwater tanks. He also happens to work at LFS. SO I am pretty sure he is not out to sell me junk I dont need. I consider him pretty knowledgable, about this stuff, not just because he works at LFS, but, when you talk to him, it really sounds like he has done his...

Nanno, reef, sumps, fuges, I have a general idea what all of these are, But I just put a condylictus in my fowler. So is it still a fowler? When does it become a REEF tank? Whats the difference between a sump and a refugium? What is a nanno? I think this is a good topic to help us...

I dont have a good picture yet, anemone's cant really be persuaded to pose for a camera, But I noticed one of the tenticles on my purple condy is forked, or should I say that it splits in two. I have noticed this only on one tenticle. Just wondering if this sounds like lateral fission or if...

I just added 2 peppermint shrimp and an arrow crab to my tank. That night I noticed the arrow running around with a hermit crab in his claw (Minus the shell of course) I initially wasnt too worried about it because this one wasnt looking too good in the first place. But the next day I noticed...

While reading a thread about leaving for vacation and the amount of evaporation I was going to suggest a glass top for the tank, which would reduce the amount of evaporation. I just (in the last few days) had a piece of glass cut, for this very problem. and it will keep my light and tank stand...

Just thought I would get some thoughts on this. In early April I will be getting activated to Iraq. I have no wife, kids or roommate. Just my fish. I would drain the tank and give the fish back to LFS, but I do not want to re-cycle the tank. It just got settled down. Mom and Dad do not know...

I am sure this question has been asked before But I couldnt find it in the "archives" I am in the process of adding live rock (Broke college boy can only buy 1 rock at a time!!!) I have also recently added some turbo snails and 2 Hermit crabs as a cleaner crew. I have noticed that the...
