My tank is being overrun with bubble algae but I have some healthy specimens that I am giving away before I scrub the tank and start over. I live in a condo high rise and my local FS just closed. NO isolation tank or way to save everything without a serious tank cleaning and some new live...

While changing out bulbs, and fans tonight. one of the screws (about a 1/6" wide and 3/4" long) fell into the tank and despite moving the pump and heater etc etc I could NOT find the screw. I imagine it is going to rust in my tank over time and Im concerned that this will have a toxic effect...

Any reason these 2 could not co habitate in the same tank? Thinking of what to do with my 14g when I upgrade. Love sea horses and the harlequins - would they make acceptable tank mates?

So about a month ago I started buying critters that need frequent feeding of phyto, namely a cocoworm and a gorgonian. Since I started feeding, (a few dropsevery couple days in a 14g) I have noticed an insane growth response in my zoanthids. Check out this first picture of with pink zoas...

My cleaner shrimp molted last about a week and a half ago. I have really good coraline algae growth throughout my tank. Just noticed today that my cleaner is also covered in red spots. Is this normal? his behavior is a-ok. Im 90% sure this is coraline - just want to be sure.

Hi everyone - A lot of people have asked about this upgrade. i just did it today and thought Id share tthe journey so folks can see what is invovled. Maybe it will help someone down the road. It really isn't that hard. Took about 90 minutes. You simply remove the hood. Remove the...

I am getting alot of purple algae growth on the back of my tank walls. I try to scrape it off because I think the black looks better on the back wall. It's tought to get though and Im getting tired of it. Are there any benefits to leaving it alone and letting the back wall turn purple...

Im sure there is a thread about this but I could not find it. Many folks out there suggest using natural sea water (if your LFS sells it) for reef tanks. Wanted to hear peoples opinions about it. Pro's, Con's - if you make the switch should you ween it into your system gradually, (like...

Just looking for the pros and cons of housing this species. The LFS tells me they are not compatible with hermit crabs. Anybody have any experience with these?

I have found about 6 of these in my tank - I have head of various worms being bad for corals - they dont seem to be doing any harm, would just like to be sure. In adition to these my back walls are covered with VERY small white tubes that look this too, but I think they are baby feather...
