So I have this feather duster.... Ive had them before with no trouble, and I have a Coco worm that is doing quite well. It looks like part of his tube has disintegrated. He is alot shorter than he was before. And the tube was like a dark sand color, now looks dark brown. I dont know what to...

Is it possible to convert a sump (see website below) with 2 chambers into a refugium. I know the typical fuge has 3 chambers, but i didnt know if there was a DIY thing i could do or if i have to get something completely diff. thanks for the input in advance http://www.pro-clear.com/wetdry.html

i need help. my hammer has gotten too big and is crowding my other corals. how do i frag a branching hammer? ive heard stuff about a dremel which i dont know what that is. and ive heard people breaking it with their hands. whats the best and most safe method for the coral? thx.

i was considering getting the fluval edge 6gal tank. has anyone had any experience with it??? ive heard mixed reviews.

OK. I POSTED THIS IN SOFT CORALS TOO. I BOUGHT THIS ROCK A WHILE AGO... COUPLE MONTHS. I JUST NOTICED RECENTLY (LAST MO. OR SO) THERE IS TWO HEADS OF SOMETHING. IDK WHAT IT IS. THIS PIC IS HORRIBLE WAS TAKEN W/ A PHONE CAMERA. I HOPE THIS WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ID. AROUND THE CENTER/MOUTH THERE...

i ordered this mushroom rock online.. ive had it for a while. just recently (last month or so) i noticed something on it. im not sure exactly what it is. this is a bad pic... my camera is not functioning properly and so this was taken with a camera phone. it also looks like in the center/mouth...

i woke up this morning to find that the end of my feather duster's tube was covered in slimy stuff. kind of like when a fish dies and you dont get to it quickly enough and it pretty much disappears into a slimy mess. i only have 1 fish and the remains didnt look like my fish, since he is white...

i just got home from being out of town for about 2 weeks. my husband has been taking care of the basics on my tank. i noticed last night that i have two patches of cyano. how can i get rid of this? and quickly hopefully. thx so much!

Ok... so I tried to add a refugium to my DAS. I have a 55g. I tried to add a 10g fuge. I wanted to keep my DAS built-in skimmer working, so I decided I would use the pump that normally pumps water out of the overflow back to the aquarium to pump water to the fuge. the pump is a Hagen-Laguna...

I have a pistol shrimp with my yasha goby. He was pretty small when I got them. how do I know he is still alive?? is there a way to tell?? i only ever see the goby. i want to make sure i dont need to get my goby another pistol.

i had a flame angel just die recently. all other fish are doing great and water parameters look good too. ive had a couple people tell me about them sometimes being caught using cyanide. do they do this will all angels?? ive been wanting to buy a lemonpeel hybrid that ive found, but the cheapest...

this may seem like a dumb question... i know the are "rules" for fish keeping. ive geard thar 1"/fish per 5g of saltwater is what you should go by for stocking a tank. is this common practice? then for a 55g i could have 11" of fish. Do i have too many fish in my tank??? and my tank is a DAS...

i added a yasha goby & pistol shrimp to my tank yest. the shrimp is tiny so i doubt ill see him for a while, the goby on the other hand is small but not so small as to be missed. i havent seen it at all. i havent had a goby before. do they normally hide after acclimation. im worried it might...
