I've recently discovered a strange creature roaming about my live rock. it
is small, about 2-3mm in length, clear/opaque with legs in front under its
head and what looks like a shrimp tail curled under it. I've been trying to

email me your phone number so he can contact you?  Btw,

I had a warning to rinse out my new corals in case of fireworm infestation.
I rinsed them all out in a bucket of aquarium water but late last night I
went down to check out the tank to discover a very small worm type creature

Ok I've been plagued with green hair algae and some red cotten ball astro turf crap
(sorry best way to describe it).
I'm going to try and make this short. I've been going nuts trying to figure what I'm doing wrong.
Here we go, last  Wend. I did a water change and decited not to soak ...

I've just added a copperbanded butterfly to my 55 gallon tank which
contains a sharpnosed puffer and some clown fish. Problem is the tang

Under the guidance of my LFS, I have drilled my acylic tank towards
the bottom.  I then installed a 1-1/2" bulkhead, insrted a 90 degree
elbow into the bulkhead and into the elbow is a piece of pvc to the
level I want my water level.  It is 1-1/2" pvc.  It is really loud.  I

I'd like some photo period suggestions based on a new lighting setup.
I have a 35 gallon, 18" deep tank with a few small fish, LPS, SPS and soft
corals and a maxima clam. The tank has been up and doing well for almost a
year with a 4x55W PC lighting hood consisting of 2 x 10000K and ...

up and *touches wood* is all going fine.
Seeing as he's too stupid to use anything like this, I'm posting this for
him, I've got a few questions that I'm not too sure on.

Hiya!
I have a question that my brain sorta farted on.  I just moved my 45
gallon reef to my new apartment and it has been up for a day.  I was
wondering what is 'worse' the nitrite or nitrate.  I know they are both

Newbie here, been lurking around reading today and decided I would ask some
questions.  I kept a couple large (a 50 and a 150) marine tanks with UG
filters with great success years ago, but moved about the time reef-keeping
was getting popular and haven't set them back up.
