hi thanks for the responses. i think my problem occured when i put 10 pounds of live rock into my tank. The next day poof...green water. Four days since it happened and no sign of any let up. I have heard of a diatom filter. What is this miracle filter how much does it cost? thanks

hi it is my water that is green. I did nothing different when i did my last water change so i can't understand why my water is so green. Changing 50% of the tank water did not get rid of the green either. I am have been running about 1/2 a pound of activated carbon and phospate remover since...

Hi fishfarmer, yeah i got the rio 1700 airpump too. I am using a Mag 5 for my return pump. Please let me know what your LFS does to your tank as i am now certain i will get mine drilled. Thanks

thanks, would the gobies be likely to eat some other frozen or prepared food and not sift so much of my sand bed? My mom has taken quite the liking to these pair and i am lothe to remove them. She is very keen on gobies. What about a shimp goby/ pistol shimp? Are they big sand sifters too? or is...

thanks for the reply, the sand bed has been in the tank for about 1 month. It is a sugar sand size grain

Hello i have a problem with 2 yellow headed gobies clouding my live sand.I have read that sand sifting creatures are a good thing to a LSB, but surely i do not have to put up with a cloudy tank. I only recently purchased these 2 gobies, so i know they are the culprits in this matter. Also very...
