I don't i think I have too intensive lighting, I have had for him for now almow 24 hours and just wondering if it is something i have done. Do you think I should move him to a shady spot and have him climb into the light when he is ready? Brett

Help my colt coral that I just bought refuses to stand striaght up. I tried leaning it against a rock to see it would help it out. Is there anythiing need to look for. All of the feather things were extended before i readjusted it. Is there anything I can do to make it more rigid in the stalk...

My clam keeps turning on its side and is not receiving direct light from my 55x4pc in a 55gal reef tank? Is this a problem? Should I move him? He is on the floor now with another clam and the other seems to be happy. If i should move him, should it be on rocks? How do i get him to attach to the...

Are Flame Angels really reef safe? Are Coral Beauties really reef safe? I had an imperator b/4 deciding to go to reef and now that I am and he is gone my tang needs a new best friend thought I would stay in the family if i could. Also what should I expect to pay if I am going to setup up a...

This is a topic rarely discussed on this website so I decided I needed to ask since I seen little info on it. My questions is that my sand sifting star has this orange coloration on one of its legs and it seems that there is no sticky pods under it. It is a stronger orange under it but it is...

I am having the weirdest time with my Seabae anenome, first he looked great right out of the bag. Then he looked crappy all shrivled up. A day latter he looked great again. I tried to feed him while he looked good. He didn't take. The food fell of him and the fish at it all. He then shrivled up...

I have a 55 long made of glass, and yet I cannot get the front of the glass clean. The tank always looks fuzzy and doesn't look sharp at all. I have numerous snails climbing on the walls. I use RO water for top offs. In fact all my sides are fuzzy just that I don't clean the sides so they are...

(make sure it is big enough for him to swim through) then it will allow them to be in close proximity of each other. if he gets afraid he will swim back to his...

you could but you will need a massive chiller cause you will have no evaporation especially is the peice fits tight all over. think of it as a giant green house, and those lights beating down on the water just heating it up so much. i don't use any glass and i don't have a canopy or anything i...

Just from what I have read around if you were to go with say a 20000k sunburst and 6500k the combination of the yellow and blue is supposed to give the truest color if you add NO actnics this supposed to be the optimum for covering the most growth. Now I haven't used them so I don't know prices...

My seabae anenome has attached to my front class and it is hard to seee the pretty side of him. The question I have is, would one advise against attempting to move the anenome to a more favorable location for viewing? Also how does one feed an anenome? Just put the food near its mouth, and...

I keep having touble with this one seabae but at first it started to wither when the day lights were on, and now i am trying to force feed it a piece of shrimp and it doesn't seem to take to kindly to it. Any suggestions what i should try. The other fish in tank are trying to get at the shrimp i...
