Ginny, I couldn't find the article on the page you linked to.
Red slime algae is also know as cyanobacteria, blue-green algae, and a couple of other names that I've forgotten. It is in the Kingdom Monera, not...
No, it would not. You need to grow colonies of bacteria on the sand, rocks, etc. 10 gallons of water from your old tank won't do the trick. Until...
I had a lionfish 20 years ago. He was very easy to take care of (but I would not put him with fish that are smaller than the Lionfish's mouth). I...
Yes. I had a Clark's anemonefish that wouldn't host in the anemone I had. When I added a small Domino damsel to my tank,the domino took an interest...
Karlas, Your last post was back in May. How is the eel doing?
In that case, I answer (d).
We didn't ever get around to the definitions. I'll try my hand at them: Mechanical filtration: Removing particulate matter from the water, usually...
It could also be Aptasia anemonies. If they are, they're pests. See the thread "new fish, new rock, new problems" for ideas on how to get rid of...

He's a gimp for life. What a LOSER! He'll be mocked by hermit crabs throughout North America! Seriously... his claw will grow back when he...
I'll answer the second question first: Please forgive me if I'm too simplistic, but it's late and I'm not going write a master's thesis here, and you...
I'm not small, my fishtank is. I have one 45 gallon tank, so my water needs are small, except for when I'm doing large water changes. Generally,...
I've had a BCS for a year now, named Jaques. Yes, he's somewhat aggressive toward the smaller fish, but I've seen him try to clean my larger fish who...
It may be as simple as it was damaged during the molt. It happens. If so, it will grow back. My Banded Coral Shrimp is always a little more shy for a...
After 2 weeks, even with live rock in the tank, you have barely started the nitrogen cycle. Once you can find a test kit, check your ammonia. The...
