How many hours do you have your MH on for? I've had a similar problem after changing to MH (175) because I didn't cut the on-time back far enough. You need to have the MH lights on only for about 6 hours max. per day. Hope this helps. Liga

Danmhippo is right on!!!The only way that works for me is by making sure the glass is squeaky clean by using the razor blade and the suction cups are also cleaned off real well. Even then, the powerhead may detach after a good length of time. Liga

Nothing, I just let the coraline growth take over and have a natural mottling of green and purple. Liga

Gee, I don't feel so crazy anymore! I really felt guilty having only three tanks: 75g reef 54g corner reef 15g leftover, with lr, calerpa and timid fish (blenny and firefish) Liga

I also looked at the 92g corner for a long time and decided it was too big. So I got the 54g AGA tank, but in oak finish, with stand and am very happy with it. Some other company also makes a corner tank of about the same size, but has a hexaganal effect, where the plates of glass are glued on...

Just came home from the health food store with a bag of sea salt for human consumption. (I really like to use this stuff!) Then I got to thinking...this is SEAsalt, and at 49 cents a pound. What's the difference between this salt and the salt we buy for the aquariums? Definitely cheaper if...

Just got a nice rock with cabbage leathers on it. It also has some small clams, I think two stems of a cactus sponge and some red sponge glob growing between the leather.This also has a small hollow finger extending one way. Have read here and there that supplement feedings are nice for...

My 75g reeftank has: 1 redsea sailfin tang 1 large tomato clown 1 6-line wrasse 1 blue-cheek/valencia goby 1 neon dottyback 1 pygmy angel 1 flame angel 1 lemonpeel angel The valencia goby sifting sometimes aggrivates some of the corals, but I try to place them where there is a lesser chance of...

54 young, and a late bloomer, since I started saltwatering it 2 years ago...better late than never, and never too old to learn something new and fun. Now my daughter wants me to sign up for scuba diving lessons and go with her to see it in the real setting.. Liga

I also have a 54g AGA corner tank, natural wood finish, and am very happy with it. I agree the distortion is minimal and the side glass panels meet with the front bowed plate very neatly. Only one negative, it's harder to clean the glass of algea growth because of the curvature and depth than...
