This algae is all over my rocks. I can barely pull any of it off, nothing seems to scrub it off, and so far nothing will eat it, at least not enough to make a dent. Tank is 15 gallons with 1 leaf fish, snails (cerith, nerite, nassarius, trochus), 1 emerald crab, some corals, about 9-10 pounds...

I eventually want to set up a bigger tank for a real carpet anemone but that is out of my price range for now. We have a maxi mini at work and I've been reading up on them, they are ray to care for, Hardy and pretty. So I am thinking of setting up an 8 inch cube on my desk for it and some sexy...

I have a 15 gallon tank (24"L X 13"W X 12"H) with a 4X24watt T5 fixture on it. Right now its set up that 2 bulbs are 10K and 2 are actinic. Would it be ok to change it to 3 actinic bulbs and 1 10K? Or is there another way to get a little more bluer color? The corals I have so far are...

What are your opinions on the best salt to use for a reef tank? The tank is 15 gallons, so far has a single head hammer coral, polyps, zoas and a kenya tree. Going to add more corals as funds allow. I do a water change every 4 days (3 gallons). I set the tank up using instant ocean reef...

I was thinking of starting another tank, with the purpose of having a sole anemone and a pair of clowns. I realize the tank would have to run for a long time before I added the nem. What size tank would be ideal for a clown hosting anemone? Also, how do you keep them safe from heaters and...

To add to my wish list (lol) I want a small canister filter for my 15 gallon. It would be awhile before I got it, want to get other things first, but I would like to decreased the amount of splashing at the surface (caused by the water coming back from the HOB). And I just like canister...

At work there is a rose tip anemone. The poor thing has been getting smaller and smaller. Its in a 15 gallon tank underneath a 48" (goes over 2 tanks) 4X54 watt light (2 actinic, 2 10K). The tank has an air stone in it and a sponge filter (also run by air). The water is 78*F. It gets a 5...

At work we just use the API test kit, that is where I will be testing my water at least until pay day. When I do buy my own test kit, is API reliable enough? I just need to know when there are ammonia and nitrites present and an approx level of nitrates so I know when to do water changes (and...

Hello, my name is Melissa, I live in Rochester, NY. I just set up a 15 gallon nano (24"longX13"wideX12"tall) and am going to get a leaf fish (Taenianotus triacanthus). I work at an LFS, and have worked on and off at fish stores since I was 14 (am now 28). I've had numerous fresh water tanks...
