back when I first purchased my initial live rock, I managed to get what I later identified as a skeleton of some sort of acropora coral. (I assume, it's the right shape, just no open polypesque tissue) Well, after a year I've noticed that the area between the 'branches' has grown considerably...

New item has popped up (er...prolly over a good time period heh). After cleaning some coraline off, I noticed a large patch of these things, with several more underneath the rock 'overhang' it's attached to. It's a fairly low flow area regardless of how I adjust the flow of the tank due to the...

Well, at first I thought it was a snail... but it hasn't moved.. It just appeared after maybe a week or so on a chunk of rock (maybe it was just smaller before and I didn't notice it..) I saw one of my turbos move over it, and noticed it was squishy..fleshy I suppose (am against touching things...

I have a Potter's Angel that was being used as a cleaner fish for several weeks at a LFS. Brought him home and set him up in his own tank for a while to make sure there are no issues. Anyhow, he's happily swimming about nibbling on the LR for traces of algae. But, he won't eat prepared foods...

Ok, this batch of LR is proving to be FULL of goodies.. Unfortunatly, I couldn't photo this guy.. he was hanging out at the top of the water where the water returns to the system. So... Take the stereotypical image of a garden snail... eye stalks and tiny pointed mouth.. about 2 inchs long...

Well... not really sure what it is.. but it's definatly worm-esque. Found it on the glass in my macro rearing tank post feed time... worm?

I noticed this today while I was looking up stocking lists... anyone here have any experience with this type of gizmos? http://saltaquarium.about.com/library/blank/bldenitnew4.htm Heh well... I bought the stuff and am going to make a modified version of that with a removable filtration chamber...

Hello.. starting yet another tank.. it's an up and cycled 90g bowfront oceanic with all the standard stuff (sump, skimmer, heater, uv, powerheads, CF lights etc). Currently it houses a blue spotted puffer, diadem psuedochromi and a long nose hawkfish. It had a blue devil damsel and a racoon...

Ok, so I have those two dotty's in two dfft tanks. I pretty much know the answer, but I figured I'd ask the community to find out personal experiences. The proposed tank is 90g. Could the two exist together or would it be a countdown to the death (of probably the arabian?)? Not taking the...

I have a couple of LTA and a small BTA. All three seem happy enough (they don't move around, have good coloration etc). The LTA's close up regularly tho.. looks as though they are expelling their water. (aka they close and shrink) Probably oh...once a day or so? Is this normal, healthy behavior?

Well I've built me an acrylic box for a fuge... I have two maxi 600's to go in and out of the fuge. Problem is, even tho the tubing is equa-distant and pumps are the same (and clean), the fuge slowly looses water level to the sump.. both ph's are mounted at the same height, so I don't...

Ok, so I clean out the skimmer cup weekly.. Except, lately, nothing was in there! Hmm.. so I sit down today and drag the skimmer out (pro clear aquatics - one piece unit plus the cup, pump attached) and see... it's full of what I figure are sponges of some sort... about the size of a grain of...

Yesterday I put together a food breeding tank, where I was HOPING to cultivate feeder shrimp, pods and macro algae out of in order to feed the variety of life here in my reef/fish only tanks. The 20g has three chunks of (very) live rock in it. So I acclimate my feeder shrimp and put em in. No...

Ok.. this tank here is on a extended cycle prep for some mandarins an seahorses, so pardon the nasty glass heh. Anyhow, I had decided to switch pumps around between my tanks, so this one was laying with no flow for about an hour...came back to dozens of these things crawling on the glass.. NOW...

Does anyone know of an online place where I can purchase seagrasses? I've been looking for hours now and havn't found anything. TIA

I've been thinking about a tank to replace my tv in my bedroom (hah..:D) Preferrably a 72g bow with an overflow etc etc.. can handle all the mechanics etc.. More interested in oppinions on seahorses! I assume seaponies, pipefish and dragonettes can get along (yes yes I know about mature tanks...

Well... So I get home from work today and find someone has decorated the tank with 'cobwebs'. (I did a search, and this volume of material doesn't seem to fit previous classifications of 'cobwebs') I do have 4 large fan/tube worms, which I've read can expel a discharge like this from time to...

Well, it's time to setup another tank.. I've shopped around locally for a 72g bowfront predrilled w/stand and canopy from AGA and have found a low price of 750$ and a high price of 1600$ (!!!). Anyone out there in internet land have a link to a trusted/reliable site that sells AGA bowfronts...

Ok, I have 3 blue/green reef chromis. Up until two days ago they schooled and ate happily, paling around with my clowns and getting daily 'baths' from the cleaner shrimp. 2 days ago, one of the chromis took to hiding in the rocks, in a deep fissure at the base of the tank, only poking it's head...

Ok, I've got a 90g tank with a wet/dry and want to set up a fuge. hob or any other stuff in sight is not really an option (I detest even the powerheads and am working up some pvc outlets fed off the main return with a powerful pump - hopefully that pans out else I break out the ph's)...

well I found my first worm (came on a piece of new aquacultured rock) Sorry for the bad picture.. Before I add it back into the tank, I figure I'd ask if he was ok..

I have two yellow headed jawfish (awesome little guys), and I understand they can be especially nervous fish (how could ya not with those huge eyes!). Unfortunatly, they do a bit of covering up of detrious and food scraps before the hermits and snails can effectivly get to it sometimes. I was...

He thinks he's Jaws.. He rides the current around the tank night and day..no rest...unless there's food in the stream, then he's sensible and sits at the overflow and porks out after he's done pigging it up in the 'Feron Current'. Seriously.. is it normal for a fish to be SO active? (he's new...

I've got a megaflow overflow, and the return on it needs to be extended out (and have a couple more outlets added). I can see my tank from two sides, one side being a lower flooring, so I will be able to see the pvc extension from the overflow quite clearly. I'd prefer it be black then white, as...

Looks like the stereotypical aiptasia drawing to me.. Live or die? Sink or swim?! Who's cuisine reigns supreme??!! Sorry..got carried away a bit..
