    Need to get an anemone off a rock

    I second the air hose and air pump. I have had to move mine a couple times when it decided to move near some of my other corals. The air line was one of the quickest methods.

    Precautions when rescaping a tank

    So after 2 years of having our tank up and running I have decided that my original placmenty of rock is leaving a lot of unusable space. So my question is by moving the rock is there any precautions that should be taken to make sure I keep all my corals alive when I am done. At the moment I...

    chemical warfare?

    I was wondering if the chemical warfare between two corals could end up killing fish. The reason I ask this is that in the past couple months I have ended up losing all of my fish, which include 2 trues, 1 royal gramma, coral beauty, and flame angle. All of my perameters are in check. The...

    I would also put some type of support under there. Your floor joists are not made for that much weight.

    Seeking advice

    Like fulkerl said GO SLOW. First thing do the research and make a list of the things you want to put in the tank. After that talk to LFS and/or come back here and see what things you want will work together. Any questions you have even (if you feel may be dumb) come here and ask. There were a...

    New tank, need some help

    You say a flee bomb killed your tank, was this bomb set off in the house or did one somehow end up in your tank. I know this sounds like a stupid question but I have 4 kids and a nephew so I know what kids do sometimes.

    Need some guidance for 55 gallon tank.

    In my opinion I would remove them now. Also if you just moved the tank and sump you may want to watch your perameters because there may have been harmful build up in the bio balls that may have been released into your tank after the move.

    Need Help My Tek Light isnt firing right. Can anyone Diagnose? Or Contact for tek Rep

    As I am an electrician it sounds to me that the problem is going to be whith the end caps . It could be either the termanals are a little corroded or where the wires connect to it are loose. The other thing is making sure the bulbs are twisted in correctly. If you look on the little metal...

    New reef-er, advice please!

    Your going to want to make a list of what types of corals OR anemones you want in your tank. I say "or" because I believe you could have issues between the two fighting over tank space. Anyway, find out exactly what you want and then build from there. Like everyone here says " go slow and...
