It was an innocent visit to the Fish Store. Pleasant weather. No wind. It is Thursday before Easter long weekend. Looking foward to a nice break. My tanks have been running problem free for a while now (Knock on wood). Regular water changes and feeding. Nothing more. No need for more...

Well, it was about a month or so back that the power went out and there was some significant damage to the tank. I also recently got rid of my Chromis, which all survived the transfer to the fish except for one. Interestingly, my frogspawn which melted away when the power went out, seems to be...

There is a small pink crab i have been trying to track in my NC 12. He came in in a piece of live rock i got when i bought a Xenia. It is hard to get a picture of him becuase he only is really out at night. I saw him today for the first time longer than a second. He has a light pink shell, a...

I have a few Chromis which were really cheap and are really nice to look at if I want to see blue then green and the then blue, but they are eating most of the food I put in my tank and are taking up the valueble space. I would love to use the space to get other fish for the tank. Is it a bad...

Well i've read that certain salt water fish and inverts can spawn in an aquarium but i never imagined it would happen in mine. I was doing my weekly water change and then My cleaner shrimp in my 12 g had about a million little offspring about half an hour ago. They didnt seem to last long as...

I was reading on the DIY area and noticed a lot of people remove this stuff from the back of the tank. What is the main benfit to removing these items from the rear of the tank and why? I've heard many people say that you should leave the Bio balls because they carry good bacteria and then...

When reading this, you should Humm or whistle the music from The Godfather. Just when i thought everything was going to settle down and things have been good, or at least better and under control, we had a power outtage for almost 8 hours yesterday. The worst part is that I was at work and...

Hi Every one, I have been noticing these really long very fine sailing things in my tank when the light goes on. As soon as the light goes on they seem to retract towards the live rock they are based on. I can see some small base they go into but you can't see it when they are not out. It...

I have a 24 g NanoCube DX with the night time LEDs and regular day twin 36w lights. However, having them on a timer seems to throw a kink in there. It seems that the power source supplies both the Night lights and the Day lights. Is there a way to have the day lights on a timer and the night...

I am currently using distilled water for my water changes because that is what i started with. I was told that you cant switch to other supply sources. Is there a cheap and easier way to get water that will stop the frequent store visits? I have looked at reverse osmosis but that can get...

Does anyone aerate their 12 g tanks. i was thinking about that last night and figured i should look into it. Ive got some calearpa in there which helps add oxygen to the water but would that be enough? The tanks has recovered quite well since my big crash and everything looks pretty good...

Are zoas and polyps the same thing? kind of confused there. also what do you feed them if at all? should they be close to the top of the tank or lower down. i have a 12 g nano and i have some yellow Polyps? zoas? and they seem to be dying off. Tank levels have recovered since the big crash...
