Nope, no pics due to no digital camera. I still have no clue what the grainy pink things are, and they don't seem to be increasing in number . .. but if anything else happens, i'll be sure to let everyone know :)

Hi, everyone! I just noticed that right next to my pink BTA, there are tiny pieces of something . . . they look like little grains of pink . . . I doubt that this is indication of a splitting BTA, but just wondering if anyone has any clue? No digital camera--sorry! :( Also, what does a...

ok, then. better to be safe than sorry, i suppose!

hi, it has been about a week since i posted this (and one week since my aquarium has been fishless), but I have one more concern regarding my situation: is it ok to add a few more inverts to my tank right now? i was thinking of adding some coral, but I'm not sure if now's a good time, since i'm...

thanks for the reply, Juck. and meanwhile, I should continue leaving the inverts in the main tank during the 4 week fishless period, right? they won't harbor ich/velvet themselves? thanks in advance! jamie

ahhh! a few days ago, my biggest worry was some algae growing over some decoration . . . but then i bought a yellow tang, and chaos struck! (i NOW know, to QUARANTINE! Quarantine like crazy!) i believe it was velvet. This happend over a span of a few weeks, in which i only saw a few fish with...

thanks for the tips, myreef. . . i change the spongy parts of the canister (partially) once a month, as for the charcoal part, i haven't changed it yet (been 3 months now) and the sand grains are kinda white/beige and very grainy like you described. . . i will do what you said, and hopefully...

Ok, here are the facts about my set up..I hope this helps you guys come up w/more tips! In short, the entire aquarium was donated to me by a neighbor who lives 2 doors away from us (had to move away). (They've had it established for years), and now I have had it for about 3 months. The tank...

Thanks for the reply, Righty. Oh, as for the light being on every night, I meant that I have the aquarium lights on for about 4-5 hours at night (usually when it's dark outside, the tank lights go on). Lights are for the anemones. Is this a problem?

My tank is 55 gals, with a big white rock (decorational purpose only) in the middle as a center piece. The white rock is covered with algae (i'm guessing the brown kind, cause that's what hte color is!) I've tried removing it and cleaning it but it's hard, because of all those little ridges...

hi there! of course i'm gonna ask the question that's on everyone's minds: what kinds of fish are you going to put in it? is it gonna be fish only or with corals? details! details! :) ~j~

awww, i dont' think it's gonna happen . . i checked again this morning, and he seemed to have lost interest . . . ah, well, i'll keep you guys posted if it happens (hopefully!) i'm sorry to hear about your condy loss, bckane . . will you be getting another one soon? Jamie

Hi, everyone, I was the person who was asking about what an inverted anemone looked like last week--and so far, i gotta be thankful that my condy's looking good! (BTW, thanks for the clarification) anyway, i just got a domino damsel today, and i noticed that he keeps hovering around the...

Hi, everyone, (obviously!) i'm a newbie here, and I'm kinda puzzled about something that I read about anemones. I just got a condy one last week, and so far, it seems to be doing well in my 55 gal fish only aquarium . . .however, i read that when an anemone is dying, it will invert its mouth...
