I've had red-legged hermit crabs in my 55gal tank for at least a year now ... this is my second batch but these guys have been in there for at least half a year. Today I see one of them crawling up the side glass of the tank. This side faces a corner and I allow coraline algae to grow on it. ...

Anyone have any idea how long it should take to cycle with just rock and sand? I started a 75 gal. tank about 3 weeks ago and am still waiting for the nitrites to register. I've got about 40 lbs of well cured live rock and 20 lbs of sand. I'm moving from a 29 to the new 75 and want to make...

I have a 29G with 1 Strawberry Dottyback, 2 clown fish, a pumping Zenia, sun polyp and 2 feather dusters. My clownfish won't eat flake food, marine one pellets, frozen marine one, mysis shrimp or brine shrimp. I almost gave up until I shared my talapia dinner with them and they went crazy for it....

Hi, all I've used a RO unit about three month. It has three gallon tank. At the beginning, this tank was fully filled with RO water. However, it's just filled a third of the tank capacity. I changed a pre-filter(sediment filter), but nothing's changed. If you know the solution, please let me...

Anyone ever experienced shopping with Rosemarine ? Made a nice order... one of them came DOA but refused to provide credit. Even after providing photo of it. I had ordered from many online stores before and had never experienced this kind of customer service. It is a shame.

Hello All, I just set up a refugium ( 18") on my 75 gallon FO tank. I have other filtration also. I bought a handful of Cheato and placed in about 1" of my existing sand from the tank. I imported some amphipods living in my Emperor 400 filter. My question is this: I bought a 19 watt 6500K...

I have 10 red mangrove babies that need me to learn how to care for them. Right now I have them in a 10 gal. aquarium full of fresh water. I have no experience in sal****er tanks, I thought the mangrove would do well in either fresh or salt water. Should this water be brackish? What fish, snails...

I posted last week that my porcupine puffer had gone off food and Igot no response on how to entice him to eat. I talked to a respected LFS owner yesterday (20+ years with salt water). He said that a tank raised porcupine will reach 6 - 8" and then quit eating and ultimately die. He said...

What do the experienced acrylic\lexan fabricators recommend in the way of adhesives? I've been unable to find an overflow that I like, so I've decided to build one. I've never used acrylic in a way that required gluing, so am open to tips. TIA -- Billy ----

I've got a 3 month old 30g reef tank setup with 15g refugium and added my first coral a couple of weeks ago- a pulsing xenia. It's seemed very happy and perfectly healthy until a few days ago when a few of the 'fingertips' look like they have calcified - just the very tips turned white and rigid. ...
