Hi. This morning I noticed that my Banded Trochus Snail releases thousands if not millions small eggs. See picture below- Are they eggs? If so what should I do with them. Likely I dont have any fish in my tank currently apart from one shrimp and few hermit crabs.

ok. I've done it :) hopefuly these healthy bits wont die. Thank you Len for your help.

Ok. I 'll try attaching them by a super glue. But are you sure its normal super glue. Its not gonna release some toxic stuff into the water.

ok. I added 25% of RO water. I am going to frag off the healthy portions but unfortunately I dont have this special glue (not sure how its called) to attach the healty bits to a rock. Can I leave them floating or put them in sand till tommorow? or I should wait till tommorrow until I get the...

Hi. I am just about to buy a new Deltec skimmer and I am not sure which one to go for. Deltec skimmer AP850 or TS1060?. They cost roughly the same £450 +- My tank is 790liters or 174 UK gallons with live rock. If you used any of those two skimmers and know the difference between them then...

Ok. I thought something went wrong with it. Thx guys :o)

Ok. But can you explain the difference between normal glass and starphire. Is it stronger/harder or clearer? Are all big tanks in shops made of this type of glass? or you have to ask for this type of glass?

Hi. Somebody is going to make for me a tank (size 70"x30"30 about 200 gallons) I know it should be 12mm thick but I am not sure what type of glass it should be. Could it be just any type of glass or I should buy some special type of glass. What is the best type of glass to make my tank?

One of my 2 Red Shrimps dropped its casing and I am not sure what this means. Is it its normal behaviour? How often do you feed these guys? I feed them once every other day with a small piece of meat (mussels). Is it enough?
