In my mind, snails will eat dirty stuff and keep the tank clean. But I am not seeing any document mention that. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all, I'm in the middle of cycling my SW tank (pure ammonia and bacteria culture method) Ammonia has spiked and fallen to 0, Nitrite has risen and is peaking at the moment. I wasn't going to have live rock in the tank but after seeing some of the photo's on various forums on the net I now feel...

Okay, remember, "no question is a stupid question".... Two days ago I was moving rock around in my 11 gallon reef tank and my bubble tip brittle starfish got a leg caught and it came off. There is about an inch left on the leg at the body. The broken off part of the leg is still moving around...

Is this actually possible? How would you actually do it?

I am relocating to the Charlottesville, Virginia area and I am interested in what stores are available in this general area. I can peruse the yellow pages but would like to hear if anyone has any recommendations regarding good stores/bad stores etc. Thanks, -Dan

I am starting to get aquariums after a long absence. What other discussion sites do you recommend for aquarium owners? Thanks TMT

I have a glass aquarium with a broken side panel 12" x18". I am considering replacing this side panel with an acrylic end piece. Has anyone done this? I assume that one can use silicone to stick the glass and acrylic together. Any recommended types? Also how much thicker are the panels of an...

Does this make sense? Sometimes you are encouraged about our country's future when you see something like this. Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term: This year's term was: "Political...

I have a odonus niger and he has started taking exception to my tank maintenance routine. He bumrushed the sponge-brillo thingy on the end of the scraper. I don't know if or how hard he bit, but I read that they have sharp red teeth. I also read that the niger trigger is one of the more peacable...

I am looking for some good web forums, for asking questions about caring for aquariums and fishes. When I posted here a few months back, a few people posted some links in here, but I didn't save them, and now i have need for them. So, if anyone can and will refer me to some good online...

I always hear that when water evaporates, you just need to add unsalted water, since the salt is still in the tank. I don't do this, I always add salt, and my salinity is pretty constant. I do have lots of salt up around my light and on the top edges of the tank. Why is this?
