My anenome is in a bulb shape. It was fine this morning, and when I got home from work its in a bulb shape with about 3-4 tentacles sticking out. Is this bad? Is he dying? I dont want to spoil my tank! Please help

I bought a sand stirring starfish (what the lfs calls it anyways). Its been in the tank for less than 24 hours and has already lost 3/4 of a limb. I have a small anonome (i think thats right) but I doubt he could have done that. I have about 10 blue legged hermits as well. I took the...

If the tank will eventually fall apart, would I be able to instead of going up over and down like the pic shows, go up into the pump (that will now be located on top of the tank, and then pumped back into the main tank. Would that still cause the pump to burnout faster? Also. I was looking...

I have on the 75ga a overflow that will feed the sump. I have an acrylic tank that I have holes already drilled about 2" from the top in the back. I will just use that for the overflow.

How hard is it to drill into glass? Is a major feat or is it something that just about anyone can do. Also does it weaken the glass? I will have ball valves, quick disconnect and one-ways on it. I have most of the items readlly available, so its not a problem to do that.

The tank is glass. a 20 long

I had some questions about what filtration is really needed for a reef tank. I currently have a 40g with a skimmer and a power filter on the back. Two powerheads with undergravel filters and a 3rd that is for the water movement. I am setting up a 75g hexagon tank right now and hope to have...

Is it normal for my blue regal tang to be swimming through the tentacles of my torch coral? The tang cruises around the tank, then hangs out in the tentacles for a few minutes, then swims around some more. The tang has only been in my tank for 4 weeks and is just now starting to stay out of...
