How do fire shrimp compare with regards to thier behavior compared to skunk cleaner shrimp? The cleaner shrimp in my tank is a complete jerk! Always trampling over my corals and stealing food from them causing them to close up. I'm about ready to fry him up myself. I like the look of a shrimp in...

To beat this HA problem, these are the measures I've taken: 1. New RODI unit 2. Lessoned bioload and reduced feedings 3. Long strands of hair algae was mostly removed by Sea Hare (Rosie) 4. Just threw in some turbo snails Will the hair algae that is still remaining in the tank slowly dissappear...

Looks like the Sea Hare I picked up this weekend is going to finish ridding my tank of hair algae by the end of this week. This sucker is a proven hair algae eater as I just watched him take out most of the hair algae in just a couple days. I'm already attached to it and don't want to see it...

What types of SPS would you identify as good for novice reefers.. So far the green slimer in my tank has really done well and I figured I should be able to add others. I don't know if Idaho grape monti's are sps but that was really blown up in my tank also.

While picking up a fallen rock in my tank, I accidentally smashed one of the legs of my cleaner shrimp. It has a tendency to want to pick at your fingers when you stick your hand in the tank. Over the last couple days, I noticed the damaged leg has shriveled up and looks as if its falling off...

Over the past 3 weeks my chaeto is turning white and seems to be dying. Prior to this, it has been growing great for 4 months and I would have to trim it weekly. With the die off I've noticed a growth in algae in my tank so I don't think its a lack of nutrients. Lighting is the same as before...

Are they worth the extra dough?? Besides not being able to be cracked are they more sound than a quality glass heater? How many of you reefers use titanium heaters and why? Thanks for any insight.

So I read an article and it seems both methods are beneficial for stabilizing alk and increasing calcium, yet the article did not mention which is the better of the two. Any thoughts? From what I read it seems that adding kalkwasser would be easier since it does both in a single dose. Am I...

Assuming no rocks fell on him while buried in the sand, will sand burrowing wrasses come out in the open to die or will they bury themselves and die in the sand? The one I placed came out for the first couple days and now I dont know where it is. Checked the sump and not it there.

Here is a picture of the first. What is it and is it harmful? Can it be eradicated easily? I'm referring to the small white/clear finger like projections. Looks like a fern??? This purple filamentous algae is only in a couple spots and is spreading slowly. Once again, what is it and is it...

A couple weeks ago I noticed that my percula had the area around its mouth torn up. At first I thought it was some type of bacterial infection and came very close to setting up a quarantine tank. Luckily the wound healed up on its own within a couple days. Today as I fed the fish, I noticed that...

Looking to add GFO or some other method of removing phosphates as I'm fightng a brown long stranded slimy algae/cyano. I know reactors are the best method but space restrictions have me limited to placing GFO in a bag. What type of GFO do some of you prefer? I'm looking for something that...

After seeing all the pics and sale ads for these anenomes, I want to put one in my tank. Thus far, it seems people suggest putting them in before any other types of corals due to thier propensity for moving around and their strong stinging abilities. Since my tank already has corals that have...

Looking for a 150 watt metal halide ballast. Ice cap, lumatek, galaxy, etc... PM with what you got and price. Age of the unit would be nice to know, pics would be most appreciated.

How much does the quality of a ballast effect the quality of the light emitted from metal halide bulb. I'm using a generic odyssea pendent unit and just placed a pheonix 14000K bulb. Is the bulb being under powered?
