Hi this is the first time I am really having, or at least planning on having, acros and such in my tank, and so I am wondering what type of metal halides everyone would recommend, also I am on a budget so it can't be anything really expensive. Also so far I have heard that 500 watts or higher...

Hi everybody, it has been a while since I have posted on this site and a lot has changed. Recently I moved from Santa Rosa to Monterrey and I am actually further away from the bay area than I was before. The new house is nice, but I did not have enough time to prepare for the moving of my tanks...

Hi, I kind of forgot to pay my membership on time and I am having some troubles finding the page to renew it. If anyone could direct me in the right direction that would be really appreciated? Thank you

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to entice a captive bred clownfish into accepting an Anemone host?

Hi I have one carpet nem to give away. They only grow to about the size of maybe a penny but they split pretty often and all the splits I have seen have succeeded. They are kind of a greenish color with a pink mouth. Rules -Please give at least one back to this DBTC before re-selling...

I have always regarded Butterflyfish as a animal that should not be put in a reef tank but I have heard that sometimes Butterflyfish can be reef safe. I was wondering if any one has had experience in this matter could input. Please first-hand experience only. Thank you.

My Sea urchin spawned just spawned today for about half an hour (it's a male). I think it spawned because I couldn't find any water to replace the water that evaporated which caused the salinity to go up and then I got some water about a day later and I put some in which would have caused the...

I have never used on of these and I was wondering if on any of them you can adjust how much is dosed. I was thinking of using one for dosing some dry additives to my tank on a daily basis.

I found some white rice grain sized cyst like things on my rocks; I originally thought that they where some weird animals but now a lot are on my my glass and I saw some little eggs inside. The only two animals that could be in the proper numbers to produce all the eggs; some stomatellas I got...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a grazing fish that would clean up my 60 gallon? I can not put in a lawn mower blenny though because I have a sand hopper perchlet that would probably harass it.

I have an acro that has densely clustered branches and I was wondering if it is okay just to snip a branch off a branch with a pair of pliers or would that be too rough. I know I might be being a little overly cautious but I really like this coral and I do not want it to do die especially in...

First let me say I am not planning on getting a crinoid, and I created this topic to pool any knowledge on this beautiful animal. If you know anything please post it up so that if someone who gets one as a hitch hiker or buys one under misguiding information, and so that people can stay current...

This story really does not affect my tank but it is interesting. One day I was wiping some algae off the rock and I found something amazing a colony of sponges that were actually living under the algae. I then came up with the idea that the sponge relied on the algae to give it shade since it...

Can I use a dremel to frag zoas?

This frag is of a Golden Finger Leather. It is glued onto a disc. First person to write a short phrase with the smilies and the other symbols gets the frag. ex: :~ :quest: :) which would mean are you happy? I did not come with a name for the frag but I was using my finger leather for...

This actually happened a month or two ago but I would like to share how I accidentally made white mushrooms. The first thing that happened was some large mushrooms split at the base; but these new frags where very small and were not exposed to sunlight so they lost their zooxanthallate ,how...

Okay, before my sister's tank crashed she had a tube worm she had bought at Caeser's. It seemed like a regular tubeworm and was a pretty white with light brown tips; bu the white part would start to turn light green and then the next part and it made it look like green color was going through...

I won this tank at a raffle at Reef-A-Palooza . Funny story is it was actually marked as a 45 gallon tank but then someone from the Marineland booth came over and told my dad and I it was a 65 gallon tank. It also came with all the supplies needed. The supplies are as listed (all are...
