Looking for some advice/help within the last week I have had a colony of zos all close up then a frog spawn (it is now half closed, no longer se skeleton) and now my Duncan just closed all they way up. This all started after getting my New RODI unit. I fist thought maybe chlorine (since I...

Hey guys, so the tank Is 40g I do weekly wc of 10 gallons (every Tuesday ) i can take 10 gallons of RO water from work on Monday so that's why I do wc on Tuesday! Mix, heat and airate for 24hrs. I'd say I have done two water changes since the use of apoxy so 50% in two weeks. I'll do another...

I did hear that, and I did use instant ocean apoxy for about 4 frags all at once. However like I said that's been about 2-3 weeks ago. And I have been using carbon. How long before the effects wear off?

Sounds good, keep running carbon correct?

Ok results are in....dKH in clown breeding tank was 11...here are the differences in the tanks...clown tank is 10g holds a pair of clowns bare bottom tank two pieces of LR and a power filter. I also use tap water and prime in that tank....i use RO in DT

Yes I add Kent marine purple tech every now again,trying to get some coraline algea growth and was working on easing calcium level...I have it at a good level now (so probably should stop adding that stuff) yes I ment dKH it is about 14 last time I tested it was 9 I'd say 7-10 days ago...I...

Temp could be a possibility, I did a 72hr blackout and covered my tank for some reason temp did rise to 83...gave me a scare bit everything seems fine. Just testes water Kh=14 (is this to high?) Calcium =420 P04=.25 or lower (hard to read color was a slight change) Nitrate=0 (no algea in tank...

I just did about a 20-25% change today and removed the phosgaurd to see if that was it but still going crazy. Here is what I have used in my tank in the last 2 months: Kent marine purple tech, apoxy to Mt corals ( haven't used apoxy in 3 weeks) used a small does of prime on a top off when I ran...

Thanks, we're you able to see the video? That's what it does all the time in the display as soon as I move if to any other tank it works fine. This may be the most frustrated I have been in my years of the hobby lol. Thanks for the help I'll try to just run it for awhile.

I don't use water conditioner either, I use RO water. Here is a video of that it is doing....Click Here

So my skimmer has been going out of control. I'm starting to think it's something in my water. This is the third skimmer I have had all doing the same thing, which tells me it's obviously the water not the skimmer. I understand there is a break in period which I run the skimmer a week on my...

It all depends on what ***** you go to for fish! The company is an amazing company and actually cares about its employees and animal life. Ask if the store is an aquatic magnet store, if yes then you should get people in the aquatics department that know what they are doing as well as some...

IMO canister filter will suit just fine on a tank 40Gallon or smaller, or a hang on refugium. As the tank gets bigger I would defiantly advise a sump/refugium set up, however I have seen many nice reefs aquariums run on canisters. I guess its just a matter of opinion just how some say you don't...

Sounds like diatoms ( more of a peppering like covering of everything?) if Its Dino it will be more slimly possibly looking like hair algae with bubbles trapped in it. I would bet it is diatoms, they feed off of silica in the water. By adding new coral your probably introduced silica that was on...

Thanks, ya I just did the custom mode put lights on a 9hr shift. But I may black the whole thing out. Anyone have any idea if this is dino or something else?
