I moved stuff around in the tank and one my leathers (middle of picture) was touching a green birdsnest. When I noticed it it had killed/stung two tips of the birdsnest. This morning half of the frag is white...is this normal? Is it going to kill the whole thing?

I did some searches on here and other sites and very few offer info about anchor worms? My sixline wrasse has had one for a while and I finally got him out of the display. Will a FW dip kill the parasite - if so how long of a dip? Also if anyone wants a six line wrasse and wants to treat this...

Between the lawnmower and the scopas tang, my algea problem is no longer a problem. The blenny is very skinny - Any suggestions or rec's as far as which algea additive (sheet) to buy?

I don't know the scientific name of it, but i have the little green bubble algae popping up from time to time. Some are dark metallic green and some are kinda clear. Are these just called bubble algae or is there another name? I've been pulling them out when I see them (outside of the tank...

I went to a local well respected saltwater fish store today looking for a copperband butterfly fish. Knowing the fish's picky-ness I asked the guy to feed it. The one they had there wouldn't eat brine shrimp so I asked the guy if there were any other fish that may nibble on aptaisia. He...

My blue hippo tang has started picking at my zoanthids and other polyps...one mystery solved. Is this common and is there any thing I can try feeding to discourage this. I've tried the romaine lettuce and it doesn't touch it.

As the subject says. I replaced my old RO membrane with a new GE one from Home Depot last night. I soaked it for two hours as the instructions said. I ran it for two hours after that and for another hour today and it is hardly making any clean water. Any suggestions before I tear everything...

I just did the search with no good results...I did a peroxide dip a while back when some frags had hair algea on them. Is is one part 3% peroxide (like you get in the drug store) to 4 parts tank water??? I've done zo's before but is it safe with leathers and duncans? Any experianced advice is...

Like the title says...I'm gunna be heading the Rockford area tomorrow and could kill some time there. Any stores that sell frags and or fish?

I can't get pics on here right now but I've recently found three pink (under actinics) worms - about 1/2 inch - 10mm, moving around in the sand-they glow brighter than my RBTA under the actinics. No new rock, just a few frags from guys on the site. We had a bristleworm problem in the last tank...

I picked up an RBTA from a fellow local reefer. It opened up right away and looked really good. After two weeks it doesnt have the bubbly tips...just straight tips. It gets frozen brine shrimp several times a week. Water params. looked good.calc 350, alk 200 ish, ph 8.0. on the bottom of the...

I just made a few pieces of rock. I've been researching the DIY liverock for a while now. I made a test batch tonight to see how it holds up. I didn't use white portland cement, just the cheap grey portland cement from home depot. I'll post pics on Sunday if this was a success. If it does work...

We have a 120 reef set up with a pair Ocellaris clowns. We replaced the smaller ocellaris when one jumped out of the tank a few months ago. They're doing fine other than a little bit of ich/crypt that the big guy got shortly after the move to the big tank. My lovely wife had to buy a pair of...

As the title implies. I've had an "outbrake" of little sponges in my tank. I know they're not bad but their ugly. Anybody know if anything eats them.

Just wondering if there were any serious RUSH fans that would want to BS about their experiences at shows, mem. collection or possibly carpool to the show.
