    Peanut worm?

    Wow, a reply after two years! The animal was seen only a few more times. I'm pretty sure it was a worm. I saw no evidence of any legs.

    sticky web

    The webs may be from vermetid snails. Can you trace the web back to a little hard "stick" on the live rock? Vermetid snails are stationary and cast nets to eat which they can reel in.

    Where to get LED night light replacements?

    Hi, I have a 6 and a 12 gallon JBJ Nano Cube Reefs. I bought a moonlight fix from nanotuners so the lights are on timers. For both tanks, one of the LED night lights has gone out. Nanotuners doesn't sell those. Where can I get replacements? Thanks.

    what fish ??

    I have an oscellaris clownfish and a firefish in my 12 gallon. They're gorgeous and no real problems in over a year.

    water parameters

    I'm an an*lytical (ridiculous that it won't let you spell out that word!) chemist. Here are the ideal ranges I keep on my test sheet. The ranges came from a few sources (don't have those now) but should be pretty close to what you want for a nano reef. Temperature - 75 to 82 degrees F (I...

    Should I get new fish?

    My 14-month-old nano cube reef had one Oscellaris clownfish and one regular firefish in it. The firefish vanished a few weeks ago, presumably died among the live rock and was consumed. Should I get another fish? I was thinking about a purple firefish. I am a bit worried that the clownfish...

    Peanut worm?

    My 12 gallon nano cube reef is 14 months old. I have not added any animals in 8 months. I was surprised to still find a new species in my tank this morning, especially one this big. I am not sure what it is. It is worm-like, very soft. The body can range from one to three inches depending...

    Hi! :)

    I have that tank. Mine is a year old now. Things are going well. My corals are in great shape (my photography skills are too poor to show them off). You can read about my tanks at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/marine/myreef.htm to read about all the mistakes I made at first!

    Starting from scratch!

    I started my first saltwater tank a year ago, also a 12 gallon nano cube deluxe. You can read all about what my tank has been through. It will give you some ideas of what to expect and what to avoid. http://www.fishpondinfo.com/marine/myreef.htm The tank looks like this as of a few weeks...

    Replacing 6 gallon nano cube fans

    I ordered fans from nanotuners. I hope they are easy to change. You just pull the pins out I'm guessing? I will find out. I didn't see any upgraded fans for sale on that site. I also ordered one of the moonlight fixes. I don't know if I can do it. My father's always been the electrical...

    Replacing 6 gallon nano cube fans

    I have a 6 and a 12 gallon nano cube. The 12 gallon's fans have always been fine. The 6 gallon's made racket and died when I got it new so I got the manufacturer to send me a new lid. In the last month, the fans are making a ton of noise. You can hear is over the noise of those two tanks and...

    "12 gallon" Nano cube holds 7 gallons?

    Ok, Dude. I measured the volume with nothing in it. I'm an ana*ytical chemist and measure things for a living.

    Feather duster

    Dusty's been open most of the time since I've had him. He had stayed put from Sunday until last night but then fell off/out of his perch again. I had to stick him back. The hole in the tube has a lot of gunk hanging out. If it's an injury, I can't imagine why it's not fatal. I wonder how far...

    Green clown goby

    Will they eat frozen foods or just live? I put in extra frozen food including mysis and brine today just to get him started. I haven't seen him eat but he was moving around. Should I worry? I don't want to overfeed but I want him to eat. He's not like the clown and firefish in my other tank...

    Feather duster

    I got a pink dwarf Hawaiian feather duster for my 12 gallon tank today. One of my first animals was a tiny feather duster that came with my first coral. It was a hitchhiker. I now have Dusty, a bigger feather duster. His tube is about 4" long and feathers open to 1". He's been opening and...

    Green clown goby

    I just got a green clown goby today. He didn't look too good in the bag (mailed from Live Aquaria) but seems to be mostly recovering now. The SG in that bag was only 1.021. Anyway, his tummy looks awfully sunken. Is that normal for clown gobies since they wedge in corals? He likes the fake...

    Pump dying on 12 gallon nano cube

    Just to let you guys know, I did put in the Maxi-Jet last Saturday. You have to basically strip it bare to fit it in the little hole in the Nano Cube. That means no suction cups (it just lays on the bottom). It has to lay sideways on the bottom with the intake grate facing to the left and the...
