    Concern for tank care--from a relative newbie.

    Thanks for all the advice everyone! Sounds like I'll def. do more water changes--5 gal every other week instead of the 10 every month. @Hunter1975--no filter media except for live rock. I have power heads pointed directly at rocks on the bases and I have a bunch of small rocks stuffed into the...

    Concern for tank care--from a relative newbie.

    So... I've had my tank a couple years now--kinda took it over from my husband after he got fed up with it. I love it! I love the process of things and seeing the cool ecosystem develop. So anyway.... since September 2012 it's been solely under my care. We've added things here and there and lost...

    Troubled Feather Duster

    Somehow I wasn't getting emails that people had posted. Oops! Well.... after seeing the feather duster get more and more nipped, I decided to move it about 10 inches or so from where it was about a week or so ago, and it actually seems to be doing a little better. It was directly in front of...

    New Purple Long Tentacle Anemone--care, behaviors

    Well, my anemone is no more.... sigh...an epic failure. And it was so cool looking! Thanks for everyones help! I moved up the powerhead and it kinda stayed there persistently for a few days, and then finally moved out toward the front of the tank. I found it balled up in the middle of the sand...

    Troubled Feather Duster

    Hey everyone! Quick question about my feather duster. In the past couple weeks, it appears something is nipping away at it. I've had it in the tank for over a year, with all the same fish, and suddenly it's "feathers" are being nipped down. I've sat and watched the tank and I don't notice any...

    New Purple Long Tentacle Anemone--care, behaviors

    It was moreso on the rock next/under the power head.... but nestled right up in it so I couldn't turn the head on. I did move it up a bit and turned it on again so we'll see what happens. It's definitely still getting blasted around a bit.... so maybe it will relocate... but then again... it...

    New Purple Long Tentacle Anemone--care, behaviors

    My only thought with that, was that it moved itself there with the powerhead on...... I'm afraid I might damage it somehow..... :/ I'll try moving it tho :) Thanks!

    Can anyone identify this?

    I put in a new piece of live rock a few weeks ago, and noticed this on it: (small reddish anemone like top, with long neck. In-between hammer coral "heads" in both pictures. 1st picture: it's in the center of the picture. 2nd picture: it's on the right hand side in the heads of the hammer...

    Maybe fin rot?

    Yes, I have noticed the tang eating everything everywhere--picking at rocks, and I had a random patch of cato (sp?) growing in my tank and he at it all in like the first few days I had him in the tank! I had liked it cause of the bright green color! Oh well.... haha Awhile back (6mo ago or so)...

    Maybe fin rot?

    Fin samples eh.... I'll have to get on em for that. Haha. So, nitrates being higher could make the crabs go kookoo... kinda like when people's sodium levels get too low? Well, I'm trying to be conscious of feeding a little less to help out with the nitrates. I feel like my Tang is such a pig and...

    Maybe fin rot?

    Oops--and the ends of the tails/fins do not appear ragged, but a smooth/clean half-circle clip out of them.
