On the picture you will see amongst some mushrooms, a black\blue blob. It has a central opening. I had been told that it may be a sea squirt.... but I beleive they dont move! Over a period of around 2 weeks, this has moved up the rock about an inch.... any thoughts? thanks Matt

Ok... bit of new boy help needed... I am posting test results ( all salifert) of the following: Ammonia- 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate- 0.5 ph 8-8.3 phosphates - 0.05 KH- somewhere between 7-12 dependant upon day and time but my Ca test has put me at 495-500 since I started measuring it...

Hi all... basic question... purchased some mushrooms on a rock which came with sea squirts I was later to discover.... Any hints on specialist care they may or may not need? or just leave them to get on with it! Thanks Matt

On a mushroom rock I bought today there are a few other things I need ID'ing please!! The usual stuff is all on there.. but two things I cant capture on camera (due to zoom blur)are mystifying me.... Firstly.... On one edge of the rock I have a number of thin straight brittle looking...

Apologies no picture.... but I think you will be able to help as what I want help with is pretty simple to describe.... Imagine tiny a fan worm with an open fan... that is flat, perfectly circular and seemingly rigid. It has a white stem\tube and a bright green 'fan'..... I guess I know...

Suspect may be an aipistia..... came in on the rock that some zoo's I bought were on....

Excuse the algae... had a phos spike last week!

I seem to have red slime appeared in my tank, and a few patches of black\dark green slime. I remember reading a thread on how to combat it but cant find it now.... Could someone post me a link to the thread or chuck me their best advice? Thanks... its mostly on the sand at the moment with...

Hi all... Added a lovely little colony of yellow polyps yesterday and when manipulating the rock, found what I thought to be a break in the rock, so split it to get two colonies for the price of one! The break in the rock was in fact where a bright yellow sponge had slipped through the...

Have a power cut at my home. My fiancee is there with the tank..... any suggestions on keeping it all going. I trully hope I am not jinxing myself when I say that its rare that its anything longer than an hour or two... but what should I be doing when I get there.... and what can she do now...

My tank is new... cycled... clean up crew gone in, couple of osc. clowns in last weekend and looking happy. Water chemistry is good and big 3 test results are where they should be. All top off is with RO. But... I have lost two red legged crabs, one about two weeks ago, and one today. Both...

couldn't resist.... no offence intended to anyone... anything any fish...

OK hopefully this will have a simple answer. Early stages of my tank-cycled, clean up crew have been in a few weeks, and now have a pair of osc. clowns who have settled in and are happy and playfull. I have noticed detritus\mulm (hope thats the right word) settling out in areas of lower...

Just a quickie... before putting your hands in a tank is there anything anyone does to ensure minimal risk of contamination or introduction of unwanted elements? clearly a bad idea to be sticking your hands in directly after : -use of soap -use of hand cream -use of cosmetics -use of...

Hi.... time for another basic question. After putting lovely colourfull LR into my new tank, which I used to cycle it, I have encountered the usual algae bloom. Test results dropped into place for all the water parameters, and the clean up crew went in 5 days ago - 10 turbo snails and 10...

Just a bit of fun... Mods... please remove if this is deemed purile.... childish or not adding to the community!!

This is a ludicrous question but I read somwhere else the assertion that a household Brita style filter could be used to produce top-off water.... can anyone validate or burn this theory? reason being... I always seem to run out of RO when I top up and means carting large containers to...

OK... please refer me directly to an existing thread if there is one as I dont want to waste anyones time... I think there may be one.. but after reading so much on here and at 'the other place' my heads spinning! I am looking for recommendations for 'beginners corals';in essence good stock...

Hey all... I am kind of new to this and have been impressed with the friendliness and openess of you all... so first up... thanks for to those that have said Hi and already offered advice and support. I have a Aqua Medic Percula 90 (36"x24"x24.5") which is (fingers crossed) coming to the end...
