I have never heard of an anemone splitting in 3 at one time. I had a fairly large anemone (about 12-15 inches across when opened up), and he just got small one day, which worried me, and poof, split into 3... Is that normal?

I just noticed today that my tank sounded like a bubbling cauldron, I don't think it was this bad before. It looks like my drain from my overflow has a lot of air being trapped as well...does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to stop this? It is in my master bedroom and I can't...

I just had a refuge custom built, and will be installing it within the next few days. What substrate do people recommend that I use? I have a pretty deep sand bed currently (about 4 inches), so I am not too worried about having a large remote sand bed. Maybe miracle mud? Also, my refuge...

When I was removing the live rock from my main tank today, I found hidden inside one of the crevices of a rock, some green balls that looked like small marbles...maybe half an inch large or so. I was thinking some kind of eggs possibly...does anyone else know what it might have been?

I looked inside my tank when I got home from work today and saw my Kole Tang had a growth on his head resembling a pimple that I don't think I noticed before. What could it be? Should I isolate it immediately? What can I do? alt=""> alt=""> alt=""> Thanks in advance for your help!

I have been seeing more of these pop up within little crevices in the rock. I am assuming they are just zoa polyps of some sort, but want to get feedback to make sure they aren't anything I should be worried about. Thanks in advance!

I think I have narrowed down the "water trickling" noise down to the overflow chamber... I read on Reef Central about the Durso Standpipe. How easy are these to install? Are the worth it? Any ill effects? How do people like theirs? Thanks to anyone in advance for their assistance.

One of my yellow tang unfortunately passed away...what can I do to inspect him that might give me clues as to what might have been the issue?

I did a fairly substantial water change today (~14g in a 92g tank). I removed the water first (siphoned it), and then mixed the water going in 7g at a time within a bucket. I tested ph, and salinity and made sure it was well mixed. I then put the water into the tank 1g at a time. Shortly...

alt=""> I am just curious. It is one of my bigger anemones (about 8-9 inches across), and I didn't really notice it until I went to move my rocks around...and this one hiding. It looks terrible right now, really shrunken from being moved, I'll have to get a better picture later.

I can take a picture later tonight... But in my tank, both on the glass as well as on the rocks...mostly in the front of the tank, there is a light brown, yellowish film that develops rather quickly. It is very easy to get off, really just wipes right off, and doesn't seem like algae. What...

I recently purchased a used RO/DI unit (the 4 stage Hi-S Maxxima 60)...the individual selling it had said they had just replaced all the membranes etc. I had terribly hard tap water, and as a result, wanted to soften it up and take out the impurities with the RO/DI unit. Everything seems to be...

I recently found this provider of refugiums http://www.aquacon.com/refugiums.html I was just wondering what people thought about purchasing one rather than having one custom made, which seems to be what a lot of people are doing. Does anyone know another supplier that I might want to look at...

Can anyone recommend to me some good movers in the area? The only one that I know of is DNA, and they want $150 an hour...and won't give me a fixed price (which I hate, because they can take as long as they want, they have no incentive to get it done quickly...and just watch as a simple tank...
