    Sand is turning brown in spots ???

    Coming back from the dead

    i guess you have to look at the space you have to put it in and how big a tank will work in that space. sounds like you have the same problem i have. bigger is better. i have seen some really nice corner tank setups. just not in salt water. i dont see any reason you cant have a good setup with a...

    Coming back from the dead

    why dont you get a custom tank? then you can get exactly what you want. cost a little more but you will be happier in the long run.

    six yrs i had him. piss me off. my yellow and my regal are looking better all the time though. i think the sterilizer is finally getting the parasites down to a level that the fish can cope with. i'm going to keep the sterilizer on, wait a month and start working some new fish into the herd

    Mushroom Moved

    you can also place them in a small container of coral rubble and they usually attach themselves to a piece, then you can put it where you want.

    What is it

    well if you had found it out in your yard i would say it was a slug. it is probably not harmful BUT you never know. i think if it was me i would take it out if i can't identify it.

    PVC Pipe

    i have a couple big pieces of rock that i have placed on the bottom of my rock structure. they are unusually flat on the bottom. i drilled holes and inserted frag plugs so my pistol shrimp could tunnel under and not tip them over.

    Cleaning Old Tank

    put the vinegar in a spray bottle. spray down the inside of the tank. let it sit for a bit, but you want to keep it damp with vinegar. probably spray it 2 maybe 3 times then use a razor knife, the kind for taking paint off of windows. it will strip right off like nothing. thats how i cleaned off...

    Rookie here

    tangs or triggers do not stay small. if you feed them they grow. if you dont they die. its very difficult to have schools of fish in a salt tank. you are thinking something like a school of freshwater tetras. you dont get that unless you have a tank in the of thousands of gallons. marine fish...

    Adding additional live sand to an already established tank.

    i would get live sand, but you could use dry sand too. if you use dry then rinse it very well before you add it. use a small container and slowly and carefully sink the container under the water and slowly pour it out where you want it. leave your rocks on the bottom so they stay stable...

    Dying toadstall

    doen't look very healthy. if you really think it on the way out get out it and put it in you qt tank. see if it recovers. those things give off huge amounts of toxins when they start to rot. not good
