  2. berlin skimmer acrylic square fell out

    Hi phislet, Have you figured it out yet? The square piece (devider) goes in the bottom of the center tube . neither the center tube or the plastic square (devider)is glued into the skimmer so it can fall out if jarred or during cleaning . (1) take the cup off the top .(2)then grab hold and...

  5. Tang is eating Red Slime (Cyano Bacteria)

    Hi Chris, I think you're prety fortunate to have the tang do the job . Besides the cyano.theirs probably some diatoms mixed in with it that the tang has a real tast for .If he ate it before with no ill effects he'll do fine . good luck. Sounds like you have a keeper .
  6. Help My tank is crawling with Fuzzy green algae

    my guess would be the move.It stired everything up . If you have a sand bed thats probably what happened .I vacuumed and blew my sand bed once when I didn't know better and had quite a battle with hair algae for 4 months . Might take a little time for the sand to cycle again but it should be fine .
  7. MAUI

    I'm going again in October . When you get there they have little maps and places to see all over the place with rateings of diferant spots . very touristy . I've been on almost all the boat tours but my best times were spent investigating on my own , right from any of the shores on the west...

  14. Dumb Xenia Questions

    I'd place it in a spot with some movement,not a real lot of movement and better than normal lighting .Your right kjb they are just xenia and they should be fine anywhere in your tank .they grow like weeds in mine .I don't feed them anything ,my filtration isn't the best and I only use VHOs for...
