Anyone ever seen this?
I have quite a few large worms and I always thought they were harmless
and even good, but I just watched one eating my gorgonians!! I moved
it away and it is happy now. Wonder what I should do.

I'm in the process of upgrading my 10gal. nano to a 30gal.(36L x 12W x
16H), which you can se here(currently testing for leaks):

My first problem is that I don't have enough space on the back of the

I had a new coral fall from a rock, I put my hand in to pick it up and some
under a rock which I assume was a shrimp popped it nipper out and with a
loud crack sound it got me between the wick of my thumb nail and the skin,
it drew blood real fast. Not to meantion it scared the sh.t ...

I'm trying to be patient, but how long can it take for my nitrites to
get to zero?  I put about 120 lbs. of uncured live rock, right out of
the box from Figi, in a new 90 gallon tank.  That was 7 weeks ago!  My
Nitrites seem stuck in the range of .05 to .15, and I'm afraid to add

I have a yellow tang that constantly flaps its body against the glass
(as if it were engaging in spawning.)
I did that to a Hippo tang (small) for a while, and now the Hippo

Hi folks;

interesting creatures (to me anyway) are showing up.  Can anybody ID the

I'm red/green color blind. Doesn't mean I can't see those colures, I
just see different ones than you do. I cannot do test strips. Are there
some kind of probes that show a digital display of the basic test items?
Or better yet can I get some thing I can hook up to my computer to ...

Darn they let anybody into these Newsgroups. Hey Lloyd great to see you have
a great stress releif with Aquaruims. The RGP gets way too out of hand way
too often. I dropped off after the George and Chris issue and I use it now
more as a sales tool to sell pins.I've been doing pins ...

I am a newbie who wants to start a large saltwater mixed fish/coral
aquarium.  How much time per week does it take to maintain a large
aquarium of this type?

I will be attempting to setup my 75 gallon tank in a couple weeks.   I still
am up in the air about SAND or Crushed Coral.  I like the look of sand but
have been told that after a year or so you will have a bunch of trouble with
the sand.  I guess because of all the stuff dieing in ...

I have a 125 gallon tank with Compact Flourescent light underneath the
canopy.  I have purchased a couple small fans, maybe 3 inches diameter
or so.  I plan to plug them into a timer and run them during the day
when the lights are on.  My question, what is the best way to mount

maybe a couple zoos.
I've heard lights suggestions from go with PCs to PCs are crap. Just buy a
