So I was given this plant, and I'm not sure what it is... My powder brown kept eating it so I put it im my fuge until I know what it is. Any ideas? The picture is kind of terrible, I only have my cell phone. Its a brownish red color, with larger leafs. Thanks!

What if I'm starting with cycled water from my display tank?

I'm not home all that much so should i do a copper treatment? Or do hypo?

Alright I'm thinking I'll try removing all of the fish then. My friend is lending me a 29 gallon, so I'll put the tang in that, and I'll divide the other fish between my 15 and 20 gallon.

Ya i have decided against taht. waht im actually going to do now is turn my display in to the quarantine. im taking out all the rock and coral and putting them else where and im going to put the tank to hypo. sound good?

So I have ich in my tank, and I'm thinking of taking all of the fish out and treating them and letting the ich die off in the display. My only problem is that I have a 6" powder brown tang....and my largest spare tank is a 20 gallon. I know that I will be needing to keep the fish out of the...

Hi, So I'm needing a skimmer and I found a Reef Octopu sMSX 200 that I can get a good deal on. It isn't going to fit in my sump though... Does anyone know if this can be run externally? It doesn't say it can be in the product description, but couldn't I just sit it on the floor and put some...

So I don't have much room in my sump/refugium. The only way I am going to be able to fit a skimmer in is if I put it in my refugium. My question is, does it matter if the skimmer is almost completely submerged in water (minus the collection cup and output)? Thanks

I'm not positive, but I think that I have the same zoas as you. They were sold to me as "Green Bay Packer" zoas. That's because of the colors, so if the colors resemble the football team...I guess that might be a name you could give them. Not necessarily the right name, but a name.

Mine doesn't go any lower than .012.

I'm sorry you all dislike that I'm using a chemical and not hypo. I don't have a refractometer and I don't have the money to buy one right now. Next time I put fish in QT I will be sure that I have one. Does anyone know if Rid-Ich will kill off free swimming parasites though? Thanks

I agree, looks like caulerpa.

With a product called rid-ich.
