Today I saw a few new creatures coming out of LR. They are hair-thin white
about half of an inch worm looking creatures. They are quite active. They
appear out of LR, twist a bit, and then retract back. Anyone knows what they
are? Are they harmless?

Hi.  I've lurked but haven't posted in a while.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for this recurring nightmare?
I have a 25G reef, just shrooms, polyps, zoos and a great looking
frogspawn.  The corals have been doing very well, almost no casualties.

Anybody here with a success keeping an anemone in a low-nutrients reef tank?
I had a healthy anemone for more than 2 years now, it was expanding so much
it occupied 2/3 of hight of my tank. It quickly become a centerpiece in the tank.
I had constant problems with hair algae and ...

I've been keeping freshwater tanks (fish only and combo fish/planted)
for several years with good success. Lately I've specialized in
reproducing malawi bioscaped tanks. I'm currently running two 55g tanks
and two 75g.

I am planning to purchase a pair of oscellaris clowns and a host for
them to live in in a 55g.fowlr. 260watts of light. My question is how
to acclamate the clowns and the host in a quarantine tank for a month?
I dont have adequate lighting for the quarantine tank. Should I

Hoping someone can help me with this.  I have 2 fish and reef tanks one is a
46 gallon bow front and the other is a 29 gallon.  The Nitrates in both
tanks seem to be staying off the scale.  They aren't over stocked. Fish,
Invertebraes and corals (polys, soft corals) all seem to ...

Can you teach an old clownfish new tricks?  I just purchased a green bubble
anemone.  What are the chances that the anemone and my long-time resident
percula clown will make a connection?  Is there anything that I can do to
encourage the relationship?

I have a 75 gallon tank...not quite 75, since there is about 4" of sand and
70+ lbs of rock.
I'm trying to choose between the Remora or the Remora Pro.
I know rule of thumb: bigger is better, but so is the $$$.

Sorry but I live on a fram in the middle of whoop whoop and have no one
else to tell. I've had just two baby tank bred ocellaris clowns for a
month (700l tank) and today I got a Coral Beauty, 2 Pyjama cardinals and
a coral banded shrimp. I also got a leather coral. They seem to ...

I have a 29G tank with a pair of captive bred ocellaris clowns and a red
headed goby.  Can more than one red headed goby be kept together?

I have been battling nitrates for months.  Could not keep them under 20.  I
do 15-20% water changes twice a week.  I tore apart my HOB CPR refugium w/
skimmer and cleaned it.  Cleaned all pumps several times.  My sun coral is
fed outside the tank and is not put back in until the ...

I've heard that some sort of formalin bath is given to clownfish to treat a
possible illness.  I am going to get a pair of false percs in a few days.
Could anyone describe the process of formalin bath? and anything else for
that matter to ensure that they will not bring parasites ...

Hi.  I am attempting to start a Deep Sand Bed Salt Water Aquarium.  As
recommened on more then one web site I obtained play sand from home
depot and put in my empty aquarium.  Then I put in the power heads,
filled the tank with water, added salt, and turned the power heads on.

Over the past few months, my mushroom rock has exploded and the tank is now
swarming with mushrooms.  The other polyps seem to be disappearing.  Can
anyone explain why the mushrooms have suddenly taken over?
A few months ago there was a power outage and my electronic timer did not ...
