What would be the best way to clean the inside of my marine tank? Should I use the same sponge on a stick type things that you use on fresh water tanks?

The Luby is apparently of the sea cucumber family, I've been trying to research but can't find anything on the web. I've spent lots on books but none of them are...

I was amazed that I caught this guy last night. I was about to do a coral dip to save the coral, and who happened to be hanging out on the backside of that coral? :D I put him in a small dish trying to decide whether to listen to the advice of those that opposed this pretty guy, and he hung on...

I put a piece of Frog Spawn into my sand bed in hopes that my percula might decide to call it home. I thought maybe he wasn't using it before because it was in the current. Anyways today I noticed two of the tentacles (if that's what you would call them) attached themselves to a rock full of...

I have some green star polyps and various mushrooms looking for a new home. They are starting to overrun my tank and I would rather give them away instead of pitching them in the trash. Decode my email address and let me know if you are interested. I will not ship. RonC @ Columbus DOT rr DOT com.

Any suggestions for successfully leaving a tank unattended for a week? The tank is not stocked particularly heavily and can easily go for a week without calcium or buffer dosing. The lighting is all on timers. I have 3 small fish (2 ocellaris clowns and a firefish) that usually get a mixture of...
