looks like a nudibranch, I don't know which species there are many different ones. wrote: Found this yesterday, looked like it was munching on my Xenia frag and was moved to my sump. http://www.geocities.com/trouble4u.rm/ugly1.jpg ...

Does anyone know of any websites(that ship to Canada) that you can purchase live rock, sand or fish from? The prices at the LFS here are crazy. I'm just looking to explore all my options. thanks

Hello all, I'm waiting for my Nitrites to settle down as my LR cycles. It's been over a week even though it feels more like a month!! I'm getting the standard brown diatomic algae growing practically all over the place now (No lights are currently running yet) and I was hoping to get some diatomic...

Hi all I have a 4ft, 18" deep tank that is a (UK) temperate tank. I think of it as a reef tank as I have a DSB and live rock, and much invertebrate life on the rock (although the inverts aren't as spectacular as the coral pics I see links to here). Obviously I don't have to worry about the high...

Is there any reason NOT to get the biggest skimmer you can? Is it possible to "over" skim? Thanks

Recently, I asked some questions on how to reduce phosphates. Among the suggestions that I followed were.... Get a refugium... I did the best I could, I have 5 different types of plants growing in the sump of my wet/dry with a light on them 24/7. The plants have gone mad and are growing like...

I am converting my freshwater aquarium to sal****er and I was wondering if my driftwood will be ok in the sal****er? thanks

I have a new Aquarium. 75G with Wet Dry. and I just finished my cycle. I used Fiji Live rock to do the cycle. I have introduced 3 tangs, an royal gramma and all are doing fine. I also introduced 2 Emerald Crabs and they are also fine (though hidden). The question is I have tried introducing 8...

I picked up a new piece of Live rock last night for my tank, and as soon as I dropped it in, out pops a shrimp who then immediately burrows a hole under anoter piece of rock. He has all the markings of a Skunk Cleaner, so at first I was satisfied to think that he was. But, then I noticed he had...

Saw a worm in my tank....assumed was a bristleworm though it was different color than other worms I have seen in past....this guy was white and red but still looked like your run of the mill bristleworm. Anyway, I noticed he was planted right on top of a section of rock with 2-3...

As I set up my tank I'll have the DSB with LR going before I add anything. What order do I add a cleaner crew, corals, fish? If the cleaner crew goes in first, will they have anything to live on besides what might come off the LR, or so I need to feed them anything? Thanks

Came home this evening and one of my hermit crabs was dead and out of his shell. He seemed healthy and had recently switched to larger shell (Atrea snail shell). The other hermit crabs, the snails and my clown fish seem to be doing fine. The only thing that I have changed is I started adding 1/2...

I would like to get some ideas on how to best remove some brown algae from the rocks on my 55 gallon. The tank has been set up for 7 years. It had a massive bryosis outbreak a few months ago, but my lemonpeel and a new yellow tang took care of that. Now where the bryosis was, there are matts of...
