In my setup the pods live in my display (in the live rock). If they are in your sump in macro or in the sand, I would assume you could just scoop out some sand and add it to your display, taking...

Is this a starfish & is it bad?

I found this new hitchhiker that has been hiding for the past two months. I can't really tell what it is. I thought it might be a Asterina like a cushion starfish, but it only has three legs at the...

I have been researching lights and am no closer to a decision than when I started. So, I figured I'd just ask what lights everyone has been using successfully.

What lights do you have on your...

Toys R Us Sand - Is it safe?

I've read about people using Toys R Us sand in their tanks, so I bought a 50 bag of it to supplement the 100-130# of live sand I got from my LFS. It says on the side of the bag that it is...

My skimmer is actually not working. I moved it under my stand and now it overflows, so I turned it off. I'll make fixing it a priority if it'll help get rid of this stuff.

Red Slime Algea?

I have what I think is red slime algae on one of my rocks. It is bright red, looks fuzzy, and seems like it has bubbles trapped under it. From what I've read I think it sounds like red slime.

Reverse Osmosis.

Most aquarist recommend RO or RO/DI (reverse osmosis/deionization) water. It is better for your tank. Tap water can put stuff in your tank that you don't want, promote algae...

I would seed your sand with live rock and/or a cup of sand from an established aquarium. Other than that you're fine with the Toy's R Us sand.

I think my chromis add a fun diversity to my tank. They swim around my tank in a neat little group and change colors as the light hits them differently. I think you said you had a 90, and IMO...

I would make sure there are extra empty shells for the hermits to upgrade to. This will help ensure they don't take a shell from your snails.

I've never seen aiptasia in a tube and can't think of anything bad that looks similar, so I'll leave it for now. The tube looks like it's part of the rock.

That's going to look awesome. Glad to hear the wife's letting you get to keep everything. A friend of mine used to keep tanks when he was in college, now his wife doesn't want one in the house.
