Lately my tank has become so overgrown with hair and slime algae I don't know what else to do. I have tried 30g water changes weekly (55g tank) and it comes right back a couple days later. Water tests ok, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, and 0 phosphates, double checked by LFS because I couldn't...

not to long ago, i had a yellow watchman completely disapear. he was active, out all the time. now, one of my firefish is gone. i moved over the weekend, so i had all the rock out and the tank completely empty, still no trace. i have a black brittle star, at least a foot from leg tip to tip...

putting in 4 110w vho bulbs over a 55g this weekend with the coralife electronic ballast what would be the ideal combination of bulbs? would this be sufficient light for sps?

i just put in a ply pad to take out some phosphates, could this be the culprit? thanks

redox and orp? thanks

im adding a sump to my 55g and i want to do it as cheap as i can. can i just drill a hole for a one inch bulkhead fitting with a screen and let the water flow out of that? whats the advantage to using a siphon overflow? more gph? if i buy one, i was thinking of the tidepool. anybody using one...

i moved my rocks around a little this weekend, and found an aiptasia anenome with almost 2" disk, and a bunch of little guys around him. it looks like they are only on this one rock. does this stuff really work? id rather not add peppermint shrimp, i already have 2 skunk cleaners and dont...

got 2 of these guys last night, shell's are about an inch long. how big do they get? are they slow or fast growers? will they climb around on the rocks, or do they stay on the sand?

have seen no trace of him for about 10 days now....... he was my favorite fish. about 2-1/2" long. my long tentacle has about 10-12 inch disc. i moved some of the rock around looking for him but no sign.

im in the process of putting together 120, but its only 4 feet long. arent tank dimensions more important than tank volume for tangs, which require alot of swimming room? i dont think im going to put one in here, he wont have any more swimming room than my 4 foot 55g reef. id like to have...

thinking of getting one of these for my new 120g, any input? also should i get a co2 system with this? i do have a 55g sump with dsb and macro's that will be on when the main lighting is off, so is the co2 not necessary?

im always looking to give my fish the most varied foods i can, and saw frozen cockle in shell in a catalog. what are they and how big, or are they for specialized feeders and i dont need them?? thanks

what are the chances of raising babies? they lay pelagic eggs, no nest i believe. if i put them in a seperate tank with nothing to filter out the eggs or larvae, would they have a decent chance of growing up? thanks

anybody using these? what do you think of them? was thinking of the 48" with 2 250w de bulbs, considerable cheaper than blueline. also would this plus 2 48" vho's be adequate lighting for sps over a 48" 110g tank? have 55g right now, buying new tank in the summer and want to get lighting that...

i bought one for my long tentacle the other week. would like to get a few more. will they fight over the anenome? do they need to be in a host anenome? would the ones without an anemomne find a place on the lr?

my feather dusters (4 of them) have all lost there crowns and 2 of them, the worms in the tube are gone. i started using ro water 3 water changes ago, before that i used tap and all was fine. have 55g, done 3 5g water changes. nitrates never tested above 5, all fish and corals are fine, and...

i have been fighting an infection of cryptocaryon, my power went out for about 8 hours and the temp dropped about 6 degrees, and ever since then it has been a problem. ive been soaking food in garlic and its been helping, havent lost any fish, but i cant get rid of it. would this be a good...

how long till they hatch? thanks

is distilled water better than tap? dont have $$ for ro unit, and cant find any where locally where i can buy it.

i have a 250w hydro farm light, and i would like to use it on my reef. its a screw socket base, will any screw sock bulb work with this? also, if this is the only light i use would 10,000k be the best choice of bulb? thanks!!
