When I got home today I saw my Serpent Starfish with two holes in his head!! He is moving around normally. Tested my water with zero ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. Salt is 1.024. Everything else in the tank has been thriving for months, the starfish has been in since Feb. Was it just it's...

I have had my tank for five months so far and seeing what I can do without a sump. Right now I have green algae everywhere. Is it possible to control it without a refugium? Do I just have to have a lot of clean up crew with a protein skimmer and RO/DI water? Right now I JUST started using...

The title says it all. I think I am going great. Would like to get some input and/or criticized. Right now my 55 gallon has a lawnmower blenny (who ONLY cleans up the rock he lives in) and 2 ocellaris clownfish. I added a zoa frag 2 1/2 weeks ago and it seems to be thriving. So, how am I...

Hello everyone. I have a 55 gallon tank and I have 2 ocellaris clowns. They have been in for two weeks now and have not really left the corner they have called home since I added them. I am thinking I need a fish to swim around the tank so they are reminded that they are allowed to swim. I...

55 gallon tank. Have only 1 watt LEDs right now. Would like to upgrade lighting so I know corals will be okay when I add them. I have seen these two fixtures that I like. Wonder what you guys think and if any of you have any suggestions. I would love to have blue LEDs for nights, the best...

My LFS has a tiny blue tang that may be 1 in. It's like the size of a quarter. I have a 55 gallon. I would love to have one, even if I need to find it a better home or upgrade later. What do you guys think? Will it outgrow a 55 gallon if placed in there so young?

This morning I saw this worm looking thing sticking out of my rock. Looked like it was eating the sand or something. It is def alive. Ideas? Good worm or bad worm?

My tank has cycled and I have had a couple of crabs and a shrimp in for a week so today I bought 2 clownfish. They seem to stay in the corner of the tank that may have the least water flow which makes me question. Do I have too much flow going on for them? My tank is a 55 gal. Pictures here...

After having some bad advise from one LFS. I have recovered and I think my tank is thriving now! Right now I am at the end of my cycle. My ammonia shot up past 8ppm and is now at 0.25. My nitrite went to 2 (doesn't seem much to me but was high on the API test) and is now at 0. Right now my...

It has been an eventful couple of days for me. Most of my fish have died, the only one left is the lawnmower blenny. Oh well, you live and you learn. I finally got my first ammonia spike when I tested my water sunday. It was up to 8ppm! I did a 10 gal water change on sunday too. I did not...

My tank is 3 weeks old. When I started it the water was cloudy when I added the live sand (duh) and then it cleared up in 24 hours and was awesome until last Friday. Then I noticed that it was a little cloudy looking at it from the front and VERY cloudy looking in from the side. You can't even...
