Have you guys seen this one? http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/200 ... reef_x.htm I can't believe someone actually thought that would be a good idea. Must have been political.

OK.... so I've been thinking a little bit lately about what I would do to save my tank if there was a power outage or something like that. Living in So Cal that's gotta be on all reefers minds out here. So I'm confused about one thing. Why is it that a tank will crash and you'll lose...

Can anyone tell me what these are? They're growing all over my fuge. Haven't seen any in my main display. Thanks.

So I have a rock with about 13 rics on it that I just purchased a couple weeks ago. one of them is turning yellow and closing up. Could this be from too much flow? Too much light? you can kind of see the one I'm talking about towards the bottom. It's a side shot of the ric. The others...

I thought I'd give fraggin my shrooms a try. I've been thinking about it for a little while and decided I have enough now that I can spare a couple if it doesn't go well. I cut two shrooms into 5 pieces and put them in a tupper ware container with some shells and larger pieces of coral sand...

So about two weeks ago I got a long tentacle anemone. I didn't think my clown would host him but he has. quick question. When I got him the owner picked him up with his hand and I asked him why he wasn't getting stung. He was difficult to understand as his English isn't wonderful but...

1.I tried to get just Chaeto for my fuge, but there seems to be some grape caulerpa in there as well. They are all intertwined, so separating them would be a difficult task. I've heard that the caulerpa will go sexual on you and release their stuff into the tank unless lit 24 hours. What...

I thought it was a Joke...... http://www.metacafe.com/watch/250400/liger/ absolutely amazing seeing a cat the size of a grizzly.

Is it common for Blue damsels to dig a cave in the substrate under a rock and hang out there at night? I have two of them and ones shape has changed a little and she has become more easily agitated. I'm wondering if she might be getting ready to lay eggs. the cave is new. She's never done...

So who knows what this is? Jesse and I met up and visited a few LFS' yesterday, but I bought this one after he went to his BBQ with his wife and the guy working at the LFS didn't know what it was. (Puppies and Guppies). I liked it though so I bought it. At first I thought it was a mushroom...

I definitely have an algae issue. I'm pretty sure it's because of the water i've been using from my lfs but I was curious about this particular algae. you know how some established tanks have some really cool almost plate like algae on their returns? I want that eventually so I haven't...

Does anyone know what kind of hermit this is. I bought 15 crabs from the same store and just this one has white stripes on his legs. I've scene blue legged, red legged electric blue but never white legged hermits. Is this just a typical hermit?

OK I want to move the little guy on the left to a different rock. I have "Zap gel". What are the best ways to go about this? I've heard scrape of with a razor blade or chisel the rock so I'm a little insecure. will it die if I just cut it off at the base? Thanks for the advice. This...

Here's a little guy that came with some of my LR. looks as though he lost some legs in the move and decided to grow an extra one for good measure.

I just wanted to share my clown and damsel. I've heard they are both very territorial fish however mine have become best friends. They're always hangin out together and they take turns surfing in the currents. It's like they're showing off for each other and they're like hey watch me do this.

Anyone know anything special about these guys. I've been told they are hard to keep and I've been told they're easy to keep. Also that they eat phytoplankton. He's been here with me for about a week now and he seems pretty happy got himself stuck to a rock so I couldn't move him if I wanted.

I've been a little curious about Fiji Mud and Miracle Mud lately so I've decided to research it a little bit. really, so far it's only been a "little" bit. I read an article about total natural filtration and wanted to share it and get some feed back from the people I trust so much with my...

I'm considering using my eheim filter to run carbon and I was wondering if anyone had reccomendations of what I might want to consider putting in it in addition to carbon. It has three chambers and I'm only going to put carbon in one. Also Jesse mentioned in a thread not to use active...

Does anyone know what this is exactly. I know it's a color slug from the phillipines. What I'm not sure of is what it eats. My LFS just said algae but that is definitely wrong. I did a little research online and it looks like most of these type of slugs eat sponges. Anyone have some input...

does anyone use or recomend either of these two products? I'm strongly considering adding them to my fuge. One of my LFS's (Window to the Sea) swears by them.
