I am getting rid of the 75 gallon tank I have. It is empty and I am cleaning it. I got the coraline algae off the glass ok with my scraper. However, I can't seem to get it off the overflow. Is there any type of chemical or are there any recommendations on how I can get it off. Its almost...

I've let my tank go for awhile and unfortunately these "things" have started spawning and I am not sure what they are. I started seeing them a few months after I put a new coral in the tank that I got from a friend of mine. They are alive and will grab food. I've tried removing them with a...

Nope. I didn't change anything. However, I am long over do for a water change. Originally Posted by Dinogeorge Had the same thing happen with a Regal Angel once. I didn't see it for two days and figured I would have to tear the rocks apart to get him out. But then, like your Tang, he returned...

A couple of weeks ago I was looking in my tank and could not find my large yellow tang. He is usually out in the open swimming around and doing laps around the tank. He never tries to hide anywhere. There are not that many hidding places anyway because of his size. So, I kept looking and...

Yeah, I've got some that I was already feeding my yellow tang with. I was wondering what else I should feed him. Originally Posted by Piscian They love algea sheets, so you should buy a clip and generally give a daily supply.

I just bought a Hippo Tang last night. What do you guys feed em?

Thanks. I think I will get 5 as well. They are small and should not make too much of an impact. Originally Posted by FishyGurl i am putting 5 in my 72gal. you should put 5 or 7 in your tank its so fun to watch them cuz they school and there always active and out in the open!

I'm going add some blue/green chromis to my 75 gallon reef tank. Any suggestions on how many I should add? I currently have four other fish in the tank that range from small to large.

Yes it kind of does. It is not spotty though. It is just one black mark across the side of it. I imagine that is probably it though since it has been doing just that lately. Originally Posted by mag395 The "Diseased Fish" thread is infomative...

I recently noticed a black mark on the side of my clownfish that I have had for eight months. It is still eating and acting healthy. It did start to host my Zoanthid a few weeks ago. Could the mark be from getting stung by the Zoanthid? The mark looks like someone took a black marker and...

Can anyone recommend a good coral book?

80 - 82. It doesn't really matter. Just keep it consistent. I know people with a large reef and run it at 76.

No. They need Metal Halide lights. Originally Posted by Winstew so would a 4X96W PC be allright for a carpet in a 26" high tank?

Well, just get a bigger tank. I think they say the minimum should be 75 - 100 gallons. Apparently, they will swim laps around the tank all day long. Mine is just a little guy right now and has plenty of room to swim. He has been hiding since last night and I have yet to seem him today...
