Hello. I am Tammy and I am new here. I am a saltwater tank beginner as well. I had freshwater tanks for years and decided to go marine. I am starting small with a coralife biocube 29. I love it so far, and I am not having too many problems as of yet. Well, except that something is murdering my...

I have a 29 gal reef tank with a sump and I'm having some issues with my porcelain crabs (2). They are still alive and I see them sweeping food into their mouths every once in a while. The reason I have 2 is because I didn't see the first one for over a month plus so I bought a replacement to...

I was looking at my tank yesterday evening when I noticed something hanging from some LR I couldn't see it properly so didn't think too much of it. This morning I looked again and it had fallen down. On closer inspection it appeared to be a dead percelain anemone crab (which I didn't know I...

Been considering one of these guys, I love their fanning of the water ect. Anyone ever have an issue with one, reading they pretty much never have issues with anyone or anything. Curious as online their is a large variety if that rule holds true from other peoples experiences?

This morning I looked in the tank and right in the front in the middle of the glass was my longspine urchin which is not unusual. What was unusual is on his mouth was a porcelain crab. The crab seems to be fine and the urchin was moving around looking fine except for the crab on his mouth...

I am inheriting an 8 gallon biocube from a friend who went on vacation and unfortunately lost all of her livestock while away. It has live rock and sand, a filter and reef ready lights, that is it. I have never had any kind of saltwater aquarium before but have had several fresh water. Any...

I was looking for a small anenome crab, and found this guy. This isn't the same porcelain crab I know, just wondering if anyone knows what this is and if there's any more detailed info on it. Looking for something reef safe and relatively active...

... my husband?! His name is aquawolf. He's nuts for salwater aquariums. He's 5'8". I'm sure he hasn't bathed today and probably looks pretty shaggy. You can bet his hands smell like low tide. He feeds and plays in his aquarium. If you see him... tell him dinner is almost ready. Signed...

as promised i have pictures of the new scape and my new critters (that i got today). all these pictures (and about 150 more) were taken today. a week ago i messed up and busted 2 bulbs over my tank (across my head no less) and did a massive water change. i also moved fish and rock around...

Instead of hijacking a thread I thought finally should start one. Its stuff like this that may make me broke. http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/general.cfm?general_pagesid=458 and this is going for 3 days!

Hi All, I am new here so if this is not the right place to post this, please don't yell too loudly. I love crabs. I have had 2 emerald crabs and a porcelain crab. All three have died. :-( At first I thought it was because my tank was too new (only 7 months) but I would supplement the emeralds...

Hi guys! Haven't been on here in a while but I have a perplexing question... recently I took some mushroom and xenia frags into my LFS for some credit and ended up getting a baby 6-line wrasse and a "flower crab" as I was told it was called. The guys at the LFS told me that it arrived in a...

I bought a RBTA on Sunday... I put him in the tank and as expected, he went straight to the back and hasn't moved from his crevice. I'm worried though because he seems to HATE the light... whenever the lights turn on, he turns into the smallest ball possible and you wouldn't even know he was...

What the heck? I have some ideas I want to try and entering the contest will push me towards actually doing them ;) I'm building a 125 Gallon system for the house and want to try building a nano from scratch for my desk at the office so this will be the one :D Nothing in stone yet but I will...

Some of you might remember my mad crab hunt a few weeks ago ... and how that crab turned out to be a shell and not really a crab at all. Long story... Well, it WAS a crab and I found it tonight! Totally by accident, but hey... My polyps that I severely pissed off by reaquascaping my tank started...

Well as some of you may know I had quite the move back to Jax. The day I moved back my 20L broke and I ended up keeping 35+ coral pieces in a rubbermaid while looking for a replacement. I ended up going with a 45g Tech in cherry. It has about 60lbs of Fiji LR, and 35-40lbs of sand. Lighting is a...

Hi Reef Tank, I will be attempting to move my 27 gallon reef tank from Eugene, Oregon to Houston, Texas. The drive will take 3 days. I plan to pack everything as if for trans-shipping and set the tank back up exactly as it stands now in Eugene. I will not be restricted by...
