The bottom line is the aquarium industry has few (if any) quality control measures. Go to MACNA or RAP, and you'll feel like you're surrounded by used car salesmen. 300 DD's are the Marineland tanks you want to search on and read before you buy.

The sea hares of the genus Aplysia have an organ called the purple gland. It is thought to be storage for the toxins built up from consuming red algae. The name comes from the color of the cloud they emit when they need to dump this gland, which they also use as a defense mechanism (saw this happen twice tonight ). I wouldn't keep one of these ...
besides the obvious coloring variances how does the Maldives regal compare to the red sea regal in terms of adaptability and thriving long life I know the general opinion that indo blue/grey are unlikely to be a good choice so how do the coral sea, vanuatu, tahiti, fiji regals adapat toan long thriving life in an aquarium...
Three days ago I got a call from a friend whose red knob sea star which he had recently purchased (a few days prior) wasn't looking good. He was out of town at the time and was relaying his wife's concerns to me. I stopped by to check it out and noted that it seemed to be flaking slightly around the tips of his arms, but otherwise looked OK.
Sea urchins destroy coral. To help repopulate the coral I would feed black sea urchins to the marine life (calling it my "aqua buffet") and within 3 years the nearly dead corals were once again flourishing.
Just to be clear, "standard sea salt" is a mix like Instant Ocean, not just plain salt right? You need a mix that's meant for saltwater aquariums. I don't have a reef tank but I do know that Instant Ocean is fine if you dose properly. I assume this is the cheapest way to go and it also gives you the most control.
Has anyone ever thought about or tried to use rain water in their aquarium. I was doing some research on rain barrels and rain water collection and found out that if we were to get about 10-inches of rain over the course of the spring and summer, an average, 1,360-square-foot roof would yield about 8,160 gallons of rain water.
I have tried other stars with little luck. I think it has more about the star's ability to adapt to a different environment and feeding menu. If someone is ever successful at breeding them I bet they would be a lot more adaptable for aquarium life.
