Hi, There are two things in my aquarium which i cannot identify. It's really starting to bug me... The first are these really small white balls with short white tentacles ( hair thin) around them. They cling onto my algae on the glass and such. There is probably a hundred of them. Also, I've...

My aquarium is over run with algae. So, I have been trying to buy different algae eaters to do some work in there but they die after a night or two. They might be inferior quality, but I know that my ph drops from 8.5 to somewhere around 8.0 when the light goes out. Does anyone have any...

Hi, I bought two pink tipped anemones the other day and was about to buy a nice maroon clown when the pet store guy told me that he thinks I bought a type that kills clowns. I don't know what kind it is because the place I bought didn't mark it and I didn't ask. I thought all clowns had a...

I have a 33 gallon with a Eheim canister filter. I change 1 of 2 bags of activated carbon every 3 months and clean the cotton and rocks in between that. I've heard all kinds of stories about never cleaning it or cleaning it more often. I don't know who to believe. Does anyone use canister...

Forgive my ignorance but what is meant by 10x flow? I have a potein skimmer, canister filter and a powerhead as circulation. Do i need more? as for lights, I have 3 ZooMed flurencent. 2 ocena sun, 1 coral sun. I have had them for a year, but the guy at the pet store told me they were good...

My aquarium is being overtaken by green hair algae. I tried water changes, lowering my light period to nine hours, and adding turbo snails. Nothing helps. I have small conchs that may have killed my snails. Is that possible, even if they are a fraction of the size of my turbo snails? Also my...
