    My Tort acro has bugs

    Hi, Yesterday I was looking at my tort acro and noticed quite a bit of tiny red bugs crawling around. They looks like tiny red dots - so small I don't know if they even have legs. These don't look like they are any good. Does anyone know what it is? and is it good or bad for the coral? If it...

    Tank disaster!! Sad day for me

    WOW, Sorry to hear what happend - I hope your tank recovers 100%. This hobby is such a labor of love that I don't think I can trust anyone to take care of it besides me. I've conflicted on many occasions about staying in the hobby or getting out. It's a sacrifice - you cannot take long trips...

    Flame Devil needs to be trapped

    This worked for me once - I went to a fly fishing shop and purchased a fly with the smallest hook available (if you never went into a fly shop, you'd be amazed how small of a fly they sell). I took a little chunck of frozen formula and dropped it in to the tank, and the bully saddle back clown...

    Pistol or mantis shrimp

    I have a shrip in my tank that came with the live rock. I'm not sure if it's a pistol shrimp or mantis shrimp, but, it's killing all my snails and hermit crabs within a month of when I get them. I need to get rid of this preditor. I think it's a pistol shrimp becuase of the clicking sound it...

    Can I keep shallow tank with MH only?

    Hi folks I'm planning to set up a shallow tank with mostly clams and SPS's. I would like to use the hanging MH pendulum lights (the ones that look like bells) without any PC's and VHO supplements. Does anyone have suggestions on the success rate of this method of lighting? Has anyone had...

    Lonely Puffer

    Hi, The puffers are very friendly and intellegent creatures. The porcupine puffer I had for a year was able to recognize faces, and when a stranger looked into the tank it would run away and hide behind a rock. I belive it is not in the best interest on these intellegent creatures to be...

    HELP! Please! My First Sick Fish, What Should I Do?

    Hi, I'm not sure what kind of sickness your fish has, but it is a gamble when we buy fish from the LFS. Sometimes they are find for a while before they break-out. I think 80% of the time it's ick that developes in fish. The best medicine for them seems to be a well maintained reef tank. The...

    Hi Wooddood, I can see that your sea clone is working fine. And my appolgies for bashing sea clone, but in my opinion it's not a efficient skimmer, and afterall, thats what this forum is all about - opinions. As I mentioned earlier, it works fine in a larger tank with a high bio load where if...
