I have started putting hatched brine shrimp in my tank using turky buster. Small white tiny brine shrimp moving all over the tank. My fishes are eating all those very happily. I know its having good nutrition for fishes. Is it also helpful for my corals like war coral , chalice, hammer head etc?

So the LFS talked me into buying some frozen rotifers (5 bucks, worth a try right?) I was wondering if anyone else uses these for their filter feeders. Also how much for my 75 gal, livestock list below. I was planning on using the rotifers and phytoplankton on different days, swithcing back...

I got something unusual in my tank that I haven't been able to figure out. It hangs upside down under some LR, light does not touch it. All you can see of it are white luminescent tips on the end of its tentacles. Otherwise the creature is clear. I really only notice it when I first turn the...

i don't know when they first appeared but i didn't think anything of them untill i noticed them all along the back of the tank. so what i did what i thought was the logical thing to do and scraped them away. big mistake. now they are on all of the shaded areas of rock. Sounds like aiptasia...

I recently bought a hatchery for brine shrimp but I have three questions . 1- after the eggs hatch should i turn the air pump off or leave it on? 2- do I need light ? 3- do i need to give any kind of food to the newly hatched brine shrimps ?

My cleaner shrimp has a belly full of babies whats the chance of any surviving. I have a 40gal reef with 1 B&W clown, 1 Palani Tang and a wheeler goby. 80-90lbs LR, HOB skimmer, no sump/refugium yet (workin on it). I doubt there is little if anychance, but just wanted to see. Thanks in advance

Hi, My name is Asia and I have a 35 gallon salt tank. I went to my local pet store and bought a few inverts to put in my tank and saw a pregnant Peppermint shrimp. I am unaware of how long she has been with eggs, but am scared that she will lay them and I won't be able to raise the babies. I...

I am brand new to anything reef, or even saltwater for that matter. I am curious as to how I should be interpreting the behaviour of a few corals that I have bought. Also, I just realized that the guy in the lfs didn't tell me what these were. I had asked for something hard to kill so he took...

in my 12g aquapod i have a small wheelers goby and a small spotted mandarin. i offered tiny carnivore pellets which both didnt eat or couldnt find (no surprise for the picky mandarin) today i fed thoroughly rinsed frozen brine shrimp with spirulina ( its basically just brine shrimp that has been...

This is the 3 brood but the first one carried to full term. Confirmed 16 babies so far. Earlier today, I saw a tail in the dad's mouth for a brief second and he sucked it back in so I figured I better keep an eye out after the lights went off for an hour and sure enough. Since this is my...

I bought the finest net I could find anywhere but it wont catch newly hatched brine shrimp. I want to be able to add them to my tank shortly after they hatch but at that size they slip right through the tiny little holes in the net I got,:mad: What does everyone else use?????? i was thinking...

Has anyone in the club raised clowns? I went down last night to see my clowns had eggs. I know that in the community tank it would never happen(to many scavengers) but has anyone raised them in their QT or in a tank by themselves?

OMG help my seahorse's had millions of babies. IM SOOOO PROUD. what should i feed them?????

Well this might be a huge question... Does anyone have a really deep water tank with corals that are regarded as low light As in corals that are non-photosynthetic? I kind of want to do something different and think that this could be really neat. Well I read that a lot of sea fans are in...
