    Lifes been taking interesting turns, but none so much as using an aquarium for both physical and mental therapy. Since this tank was set up I've learned so much more than I could have at any school. Its that learning thats kept me sharp and not let me deteriorate any more than I have...

    Hello! Just thought I'd post my latest addition who is currently acclimating in the bag. :) He is less than two inches long and dwarfed by my gold maxima and squamosa. Cost more than both of them combined too. I'm going to put him at the top somewhere near the gold maxima. I'm very much...

    Hi, I have the Fluval M60 with the Fluval Sea LED strip. Just recently I have noticed that the blue mode is not functioning at all - the normal 'daylight' setting works fine. I am disappointed :bawling: and certainly don't want to fork out another £150 odd to replace it when all I want is the...

    I just started volunteering at a state park as an animal care helper. This fish came from a roughly 500+ gallon FO tank. In the tank there's 7 other blue reef chromis, a French angelfish, some kind of smaller angelfish (I forget what kind), an Atlantic blue tang, and a couple of other...

    Morning! So i have another thread under crustaceans. I wanted more opinions. I have a pair of coral banded shrimp, one developed a blue abdomen? Weird I thought. So I hope its eggs, and not a parasite. What do you think? I did research and the egg sack was blue and then also white in some photos.

    Long story short: noticed white ball under shrimps exoskeleton 7 months ago. I just noticed the white ball is gone and now theres blue under shrimp. The shrimps fine. Is it iodine absorption? Do they do that? Is it a parasite? What kind? What is it? Will it spread? :/ Thanks from California

    A few months ago I added half a dozen hermit crabs to my 40 breeder build. I bought one redlegged (all they had in stock) and 5 blue legged. Turns out iI only got 4 blue legged and this rogue hermit. He has grayish green legs and bright blue eyes with white stripes. He hasn't hurt my zoas nor...

    After setting up my lights and residing through the (half) manual, I decided to start a thread to give info and ask questions. Like I mentioned above, the manual seems to stop midway through. Under "Custom Mode Setting", it just seems to end without further explanation. It states the...

    Hey guys. I had a questing about one of my acropora frags. When I first bought the frag it was a lighter brown color with blue tips. Now the frag is almost completely the light brown color. The blue tips are gone. I'm wondering if this is due possibly to phosphates. But my other montis and acros...

    We have been seeing blue blubber jellyfish in a fishy store in the area and really hoping to get one or a pair. They are quite small. (probably about 2-3 inches in diameter) Has anyone kept them before and know much about them. I couldn't find much info and saw a lot of conflicting things when...

    I have three Radion XR30w Gen 1 fixtures mounted in a custom wooden canopy approximately 9" above the waterline. The canopy has no back, for return lines and equipment. The canopy also has two high flow 120mm high flow fans below the Radions that pull air in from outside the canopy to assist in...

    I am not ready to buy any fish yet, but I have been looking at the fish at quite a few pet stores (6 or 7 pet stores I visitied). What I am noticing is 75% or more of the blue tangs that are for sale in these tanks are partially white/pale. Typically in their belly area. If it was only 1 pet...
