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...

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...

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

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.

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?

I bought a Hippo Tang last night and was reading that it eats a lot of veggies. What do you guys feed yours? Do you chop up and make your own veggie food? I've got some seaweed and tons of frozen and flake food for my other fish.

What is truly the minimum acceptable anemone lighting for it to live a long life. I hear so many different arguments for this. You should have mh lighting but how many watts? I know some people that keep anemone's with pc lighting and they are fine.

Ok. I had to return my MH lights and am getting some new ones. I've got a 75 gallon tank and will mount the lights with 6" legs. Should I get 2 X 250 watt hqi and 2 X 96 watt power compact bulbs or 2 X 150 HQI and 4 X 65 Power Compact Isn't 2 x 150 enough for mh lights? What about 10k or 13k mh...

What are the best critters to control algae? I've got some scarlet and blue leg hermits, nass snails, and astrea snails.

Is 83F too hot for the tank or is it still ok? I try to keep it between 80 - 82 but it is around 83F with MH lights. I was going to add a fan to drop the temp but Ill keep it at 83 if that is still fine.

Can anybody recommend a good Auto feeder and topoff device? I'm going on vacation next month and would like to automate this.

What is the best anemone to host a Ocellaris Clown?

I'm just wondering how everybody feeds their fish. Do you place your hand under the water and kind of drop it in? Or, do you just place it on top of the water and let the fish come up for it? I place my hand in the water and put the food in because my Pygmy Angelfish does not go anywhere near...

I just got some MH lights for my 75 gallon tank. This is a new tank and will be moving a couple of cleaner shrimp and two fish from my 15 gallon to it. Do I need to acclimate the fish and shrimp to the MH lights by keeping the lights on for a few hours a day to start or does it matter?

Do you really need to skim the water surface with a power head if you don't have a lid on your tank?

I'm getting some MH lights with three cords. One for mh lights, pc lights, and moon lights. I'm going to control them via a timer. When should I turn the mh lights and pc lights on and off? :thinking:
