    Greetings all! Brand spanking new to the Saltwater world after having kept tropical freshwater off and on or many years. I just purchased an AGA 125 gallon "reef ready sort-of" used tank that is 72"x18"x22". The reason I say "sort-of" is that the holes are drilled (2 in each back corner...

    I was thinking about getting a sand sifting cucumber but i'm concerned that it may run into my carpet anemone and get eaten. That's what happened with my sand sifting sea star. Do you think this will be a problem or is the cucumber usually buried and under the anemone? Also, I want to get some...

    First I have randomly-dying, disappearing fish. Now my sandsifting starfish has had the living you-know-what beaten out of him... er, bitten out of him.

    There is a crevice in between two pieces of my live rock. Twice in the past 2 days I have had to blow about 1/2 a cup of sand off of the live to the left.

    So I primarily use Emperor or Penguin products for "maintaining" my aquariums. They used to be good at getting rid of ammonia and nitrites in a tank. However over the last week or so I had both manifolds crack on my emperor 400's. Both went out at the same time (rather odd I think). Next of all...
