Thank you. :)

Hello, Help! My hammer oral is looking a bit different in that the base of the cluster is appearing light/pale compared to the rest of the stem, and there is a stringy white substance that comes out, but only occasionally. Do I need to remove, or leave alone, or maybe just cut back to the...

What would be the best critters to get to aid in this clean up work? Thanks for your help! Also, thanks for the help in my previous post about how to post pics. :)

I'm trying to post a picture of my green algae overgrowth to get help finding out what algae eating critters are best at eating it up. Why is it such a tedious task to post a pic? Does it really have to be smaller than 300kb? Is there an easier way?

I got rid of most of the aiptasia in my tank. This one seems to be indisposable, as it is a permanent accessory of my "lady" hermit crab. (Looks like she got her man) lol Too fast for the Aiptasia-X and the peppermint shrimps. :flower:

You guys were right! These hermit crabs fool me all the time. They have 9 lives or something! I thought they died before and then they came back to life. Now when yesterday they were no where to be found, I jumped to conclusions and blamed it on the shrimp! It's just that I have always been able...

Wow! Amazing. I've never seen a 3 month old tank so developed and mature! You've got guts!

I appreciate this forum very much! When I need help or have a question, I come here because many are helpful. I don't hesitate to post. I did feel slightly belittled once though when I asked a question about a fish that died, and someone asked if I has quarantined it to watch its feeding pattern...

I can tell you one thing you will absolutely need. That is.........$!!!!!

Welcome! I am a newbie too. What I do is get my water from the machine right outside our grocery store. Take it home in a 5 gallon jug. Only costs 75 cents. I mainly use it for top off. I do my water changes with the saltwater from my favorite local fish store. That costs 75 cents a gallon...

I added 5 peppermint shrimp to my tank on Sunday. Why? Because the lfs had a sale for 5 for $24.99 (buying 5 was cheaper than buying 3 or 4), and I also read a recommendation to have 1 shrimp per every 5 gallons of water. So - I thought adding 5 should be okay since I have a 30 gallon. The...

Thanks everybody! I got Aiptasia-X today and blasted most of them. Some were pretty tricky, so I couldn't get them all, so I got a few peppermint shrimp for the rest of the cleanup and upkeep. I hope it works.

Please help me ID. Thanks! You guys "rock"! :apint: [/url][/IMG]

I have one growing right near my Zoa polyps. Will the Aiptasia X kill the Zoa too?

How???
