So I've had my tank up for quiiite a while now (over a year). Just recently upgraded to a 55g with a 20g sump (DIY all the way!!! DIY overflow, sump AND tank stand. BOOYAKASHA!) Anyway, I recently got a long tentacle anemone and I'm curious about my lighting. I cant remember exactly but I''m...

So it's been a week since the tank crisis. I let my water levels stabilize and I think it's been enough time for it all to calm down. So I wanted to pair up my clown with a new one. I picked up a new ocellaris from petco, and I got the smallest one in the tank of probably 8. I thought it would...

So I went on vacation to my parents for Christmas. I left my apartment heater on the whole time to ward off any super cold snaps (as it is wont to do in the mountains). My apartment ac can't be set by temperature. You have to feel it out by turning it off and on. So I thought if I just set the...

So I've got two ocellaris clowns and i really want an anemone that they'll host. I got a purple tip haitian anemone about a week or two ago and he is doing pretty good so far ... (need to upgrade my lighting soon though). In any case, I'd like to get another anemone at some point in the near...

So (aside from the obvious brown algae .....), i think i have some coralline algae growing in my tank. But I'm really not sure. Here's a pic. It's the pinkish looking stuff just below the light, on the tank wall. also, re the brown algae, i think ive been overfeeding, and been keeping my lights...

So I just added some snails and a crab to my tank and I named a few of them. I thought it would be fun for us all to tell the names of our fish and why we named them that. So here are mine: smaller clown fish is named Andre, for Andre the Giant (a paradoxy name, yes). bigger clown is named A...

So I don't know what the heck is going on with my tank. My damsel got tail/fin rot and lost about a third of his tail, but he seems to be on the mend now. However, he's now got a huge white spot on his left side (I'll try to attach a pic). NOW, my two clowns have a little bit of white on their...

So here's the deal. my damsel hasn't been looking all that good lately. He's been a little discolored, and he got some whitestuff on his tail about 4 days ago or so. I didnt think much of it initially because the day after i first brought him home, he had the same looking stuff on his tail, but...

Hey folks. Not sure if this is the right sub forum, but I wanted to share this with you all. I got home from lunch today and turned on my lights to find this big honking bristle worm hanging out on the open sand. Hope you enjoy the pic. He came with some lie rock I got. He won't hurt my fishes...

So I've had my tank for about 7 weeks or so now. For the last 3 weeks or so, my ammonia has stayed at .25 ppm, no matter what I do. I did a 30% water change and there was no difference in the level. I have live sand and a big live rock in there, plus whatever is growing on the other rocks I have...

So I'm wondering what this stuff is in my tank. I don't know how to describe it other than a kind of brown looking slime. I don't THINK it's algae, but I could be wrong. It seems like it grew on some of the dry rock that i put in there (wich had a lot of old growth on it that i didnt scrape off...

Hey all. I'm new here (as the title says ...). I'm not sure this is the right place for me or not. I just heard about this forum a couple days ago. But I have a question, and figure you guys can answer. I just set up a new tank a couple weeks ago and have a single fish, a blue damsel, in...
