This clear thing seems to prefer shaded places and since this pic was taken has grown substantially. They seem to die off and reappear every few months. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/s ... ure067.jpg

i had the same thing happen with those shrooms, all but one died which hasnt grown but doesnt look ill either. A shame because under actinic lights they glowed an eerie green colour. My purple knobbly mushrooms have always done really well and in the year ive had them they multiplied five fold...

After running a 60 gal(uk) reef tank for quite a while now, I have started construction of a fishhouse in my garden which will have 440 gal(uk) rectangular acrylic reef tank. Im planning to have a refugium miracle mud setup, but after searching the web ive found quite a lot of different info on...

Something in a shell with purple frills inside, and some sort of white cluster of small egg like things. These are not the best quality pics in the world but until ive learnt to use this blasted camera properly its the best i can do. Quite large picture files so beware if you got a S-L-O-W...

What i need to know is how easy are they to succesfully breed and what are the lifestages...

Im gonna quarantine and treat them as soon as poss. I think Operation Reef assault shall commence tomorrow with the deployment of a UV steriliser :twisted: while i leave it for a few weeks empty of fish. With any luck that will help with the damn algae as well. Although my 2 fish are different...

Hi i think my tank isnt getting enough light with the setup i got at the moment can anyone tell me what would be the optimum lighting needs for a reef tank of the following size? width =121 cm depth = 46 cm height = 62 cm any help would be appreciated :D

Being relatively new to keeping a reef tank im not too clued up on the diseases/ailments of marine fish. When i got back from work this morning i done the usual clean out and test of water as well as a partial water change when i noticed my yellow eyed tang seems to have lots of tiny white spots...
