So I flipped over a rock doing a little reef scaping as i will and I found not only the 5 or 6 of the sponges that you see in the picture but this larger anemone (dime size) in a panic i went out and got 2 peppermint shrimp. let me know what you think... AP.jpg

I have found this little thing and need to know if it is good or bad! so it is a white tube about 1 cm in length that is connected to a rock and has a little guy that is hiding inside i can see 2 little antenna peaking out sometimes He spits webs around where he is. I will try and get a picture...

thanks, i was just wondering if it is better to have one long light period then a few shorter ones

So I have a 29g biocube hqi with 150w 20.000 light and only have a few corals so far and an rose anemone shrimp and clown. I dont want to run my light all day but i also want to be home some of the time when it is on. right now i have it on 700-1200 off 12-4pm then on again from 4-8 then my moon...

there is about 3.5x4in in the bottom of the chamber. I will look in to those 1200's tomorrow at my LFS. Thanks for the help!

I saw pics of the same snails on here and every one was saying that they were bad news...

So I just set up my tank that was running from the guy i bought it from and there was all these snails (all of which i got rid of because of this forum) but i also have about 10 little hermit crabs in small shells. I was wondering if these need to be evacuated also? thanks

oh and the loud one is an oceanic

yeah, i just changed it out so it would not drive me crazy but the one i put in does not fit in the bottom... lets see how this goes.

the pump itself is humming

so I just set up my tank and the pump in the back is super loud! I cleaned it out and everything but it just hums. I have a 29g biocube hqi and am looking to replace my water pump:death:

Well I went and picked it up this morning! Whoohooo!!! I am super stoked! I got everything for $275 and it is all set up. I checked all the levels ( the salinity took really long to get right it was 1.030 and i got it down to 1.024 with a lot of work.) and now she is coming out of the "fog". :)

Thank you all for the input!!! I am going for it...

Thanks for the very helpful post!!! i am just starting my first tank and this was a saving grace hahaha

Thank you so much for that link Waddi!
