Let's say a newbie has a marine tank (fish and live rock, basic stuff). Excepting the process of cycling a tank, what do you think is the biggest mistake that marine tank owners make, which may result in dead fish? dwhite

Somehow, in a bucket of aged tapwater I was about to add to my aquarium I found I strange, very skinny worm. It's about the general size of a bristle worms, and it does, indeed, have bristles, but they are smaller and harder to see than those on other bristleworms I've seen. Also, it has two...

Can anyone share some of their experience's of keeping Garibaldi's. I thinking of purchasing a small one 4.5" for my 125 gal tank. I know they are a member of the damselfish. Are they very agressive? What other fish are they compatable with. I saw some in a tank at the front desk (40'x8'x10')at...

Hi all, I've been trying to do a google search on the aforementioned, or general aquaria convention, but have had no avail. I'm sure there must be a convention here in the USA or Canada that sports the latest in all things reef and/or aquariums, et cetera. I appreciate (as always) the feedback.

Hi All: I have a 72 gallon bow FOWLR tank. I added 90 lbs of live Fiji rock on Dec 21. Since it is a new setup I did not cure the rock figuring I'd cycle the tank with the rock.

I have a 4 year old reef tank, and over the years I have attempted on numerous occassions to introduce specimens of sponges into my tank. I know that they are not to be exposed to air at all. Virtually all the attempts have had a similar course. They start to shrink away, usually with a whitish...

I heard this a couple of times and then the other day I read about the loud "popping" or "clicking" sound that is a shrimp? Wow... I thought my glass broke or a rock fell and hit the glass it was loud. Why would I remove this loud little bugger (never have saw him)?

I'd appreciate any advice on raising Chaetomrpha. I Googled it and only found a small mention of 'tumbling' and there was mention of not growing it in a tank with different Macros. Am I to understand it is not to be in the same system or just separated like Caulerpa in the display and...

I have read several posts about removing unwanted starfish, corals, etc. but have not seen anything about how to actually go about the removal. How do you do it? Also, what do you do with them after theyve been removed? Furthermore, what about segments of soft corals removed to keep them...

Being glass it weighs a LOT! and I do not wish to ship it (it would be cost prohibitive). So interested parties near the Miami, Florida...

I bought several vials of BS Eggs about 6 months ago. I occassionally mix a small batch. The last 3 batches have had little/no yield. I'm using the same recipe for the water (thanks Marc). Is there a shelf life for BS Eggs? Is there a way to store them? TIA -TomW
