i had my tank filled with tap water that was untreated and lately i bought an ro/di filter and switched some water out. i my tank is exploding with diatoms even when i switch the tap water out with ro/di water ( it's only been 2 weeks so i doubt all the tap is out ). i also have some phosphate...

no it's not the worms. i can't find anything on it. it literally looks like coralline algae growth but when i googled pics they didn't exactly look like it and i highly doubt it is coralline algae due to wrong parameters. if it's not coralline guess it's going to get scrubbed off.

been changing my tap water in my aquarium to ro/di still having diatom issues though only did 2 water changes within the past 2 weeks. today I just noticed on my tank these clear circles on the inside tank walls they look like water spots ( they are not ). they have rings just like when you cut...

our garage is cluttered because my dad is a contractor and bring all the crap from work to our house and sits their in the garage. then he blames me for putting a small trash can versus all his junks in the garage. plus i don't have an extention cord to run the outlet to my powerhead/mixing tank...

i took my power head out of my mixing tank as theirs no room to move around in my garage how it is set up to wash clothes and get into the freezer. was wondering if this is going to be okay or do i have to have the water circulating 24/7. the salt is already mixed in it's been running for over a...

although i have never bought a tank online i have purchased from drfostersmith before. never had any issues with broken items although i recently bought an ro/di unit from them and the box came all beat up look like it was neglected badly i was afraid it wouldn't hold well but inside they had...

the food i feed them are foods 2 of my fishes ( the hardest in my tanks to feed the rest will almost always take anything and these same 2 need special diets due to their teeth ). it's hard to find a variety of food here not sure why but the only readily available foods here for fish are flakes...

i have very picky fish i was planning to try the garlic trick but was wondering how does it actually work and does it even work?

just checked this website that sells local zoans not even they will sell to locals here so i think it is safe to say it is illegal to keep corals as of now. saw a law stating it is legal to sell ONLY if they are dredging or something like that they it is legal to sell the corals in that site. i...

i just read an article yesterday that all corals are illegal here :/ someone said zoans were legal but then i think those too are illegal here as someone also said those were illegal. same with inverts which explains why theirs really no one here that sells inverts or has them. i see some people...

yea this guy was selling a jebao rw15 sadly i don't think i will purchase it because it's encrusted with dead coralline algae since he didn't keep it running and let it dry out and it looks really beat up on the propellars lots of algae or something built up inside. for that price i think i will...

alright thanks i just used the new powerhead i bought seemed to do a good job salt dissolved very fast

how does it exactly spread if i do not scrap it off? and will it spread even if my filter is on. i don't have a skimmer on this tank just power heads and cannister filter. i do have lightings rated for coral use ( don't think they are very good lighting though ).

i was thinking of investing in a wave maker as currently it's just straight up power heads and cheap ones. one im going to end up removing in the end and use it to mix my ro/di water so im going to invest on one for sure probably next week when i get paid. i just worry as it's constant flow...

i bought this cheap trash can couldn't find a brute one which was thicker and more sturdy will end up using that for now until it breaks. i don't think i need to heat it up as the tank temp is kept at room temp which is just in the range for my fish. it doesn't drop or go over luckily otherwise...

just set it up a while ago looks like i will be using my 700gph power head to mix it. going to invest on another power head soon.

my ro/di filter came in today so i should recieve it this afternoon but the problem is i have nothing to mix the salt with but my cheap power head that i just bought for aquarium use. it's pretty weak for my aquarium so i was planning on keeping it for my Ro/DI but i seem many people using...

i am running a 900gph power head during the day and 700 gph during the night they are not hooked up to wave makers. i was planning to use my 700gph to mix my ro/di water but didn't want the fish to stress out at night when resting. i will eventually buy a wave maker and better power heads...

yea Hawaii has some pretty stupid laws in general feels like a prison living here. i don't know anyone here that sells frags live rock alone is hard to get here i think i read somewhere that it's illegal to harvest in the wild. really want some corals badly. i don't think it would become an...

i have a 900gph power head in my 55gal tank would that be suffiecient enough? i just bought a 700gph one not too long ago and was looking at buying this used 950gph-3500gph wave maker from someone but money is kind of tight atm and i need to get my parameters fixed rather then buy another power head
