IMG_0244[1] by kathya0321 posted Feb 12, 2015 at 3:34 PM I noticed this today under the rock my torch coral is on, it looks as if there may be two of them. Any idea of what they can be, looks like some kind of filter feeder.

I just received a Orange Ricordia mushroom in the mail today. Since I have put it in my tank it has been giving off slime. Is that a bad thing or is it something they do when they are stressed?

Can anyone give me any ideas of different lighting options for my BC14? I am looking to remove the top and place something that will give me more airflow to help keep the temp down. Thanks.

Ok I don't understand why my zoa's and my Duncans are not opening and looking bad. My water parameters are perfect, the only thing I notice is my tank is running around 82-84 degrees. Could it be to warm for them or shouldn't that matter?

So my 14 gal Bio Cube has been up and running since March. I just finished battling a cyano outbreak. At this point I have 3 narcissus snails, 2 Conch's and 3 Marguerita (maybe 2) I found an empty shell. I am thinking about adding a couple to crabs to help clean up the sand and any leftover...

I hate to admit it, but I am stumped. I have a container of 500 ml of Seachem Gel which treats a 120 gal tank. I have a 14 gal Bio Cube with 11 lbs of rock, can anyone help me figure out how much of the Carbon I should use? I came up with 8 tsp. But it seems like that isn't very much. Any help...

My readings: Ca 340 KH 8 I want to start dosing, my calcium is really low. The bottles say to dose 1ml per 4 gallons. Is this eventually going to raise my ca without raising my KH and Ph to high?

Hi, I am currently using a Eshopps sponge and Matrix Carbon for my filter. I want to clean my sponge when I change my carbon, but I am afraid I will wash away good bacteria. Also is it ok to use reusable filter bags to put the carbon in?

My tank has cycled. PH 8.0 would like it between 8.2 - 8.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5.0 However for some reason my salinity is 1.030, so need to get that down. What is an acceptable Nitrate level if I plan on having invertebrates? Also I have an Instant Ocean Hydrometer, that I am...

Ok my 14 Gal Bio Cube has been up and running for 2 weeks now. My readings are as follows: PH 8.0 Ammonia 0.25 Nitrites 1.0 Nitrates 2.5 So my question is once my Ammonia and Nitrites reach zero again, will I then do a water change to lower the Nitrates and what is an acceptable...
