I've had my tank set up for a little over a year and a half and am having a hell of a time with hair algae and bubble algae. There was a period of time several months ago where certain things kept me from my tank and I started using tap water...that is when the problems started. But it has...

I have a 65 gallon tank, currently FOWLR, that I want to begin turning into a reef tank. I've had my PHs (2 Koralia 1s) on the back glass, each side top...pointed towards the center of front glass. Most of the pictures that I have seen on this site show the PHs on the on the side glass pointed...

I currently have a AquaC Urchin for my 65 gal and am thinking about getting another skimmer that is more quiet. I'm looking for a decent one, but not too expensive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I've had a BTA for a few months now and it is doing very well...found a location along a rock that it likes. However, it will move a little along the rock and up until recently it has not been an issue. Now it is moved to a location where its' tentacles are touching one of my zoo colonies...

Here is my LMB

Don't have time to post a pic right now so I hope the description helps. I have this white spiral on my glass. It is very symmetrical and the total size is about the size of a quarter. It doesn't move, so I'm wondering if it is some type of eggs or something...really have no idea. I know...

I received my frag pack on Wednesday and am extremely pleased with what I received Now it's a learning process and I am nervous about doing everything properly. I've done research, but I could use any pointers that you experienced reefers have to offer. Here is a picture of the side of the...

Will pepermint shrimp eat zoos? I have an aiptasia mixed in with one of my zoo frags and was thinking about getting a few shrimp in case others start popping up. Had one aiptasia a few weeks ago that destoryed a small zoo colony. so I took it out of the tank...proplem solved. But this colony...

I started seeing these little snails appearing. This is the best picture I can get. At first I thought sundials but now I think maybe baby turbo snails. I'm really hoping that they are not sundials. So far they are just hanging out on my LR...I haven't noticed them on any of my zoos.

I'm having 2 issues with my tank that are driving me crazy. First my paramaters: temp 79-80; salinity 1.023, ph 8.4, trites & amm 0ppm, trates 10 - 20ppm, calcium 390, phosphate 0. Tank is about 7 months old. I have T5 lighting (nova extreme fixture...actinics on 9 - 9...daylights from 10 -...

I've got a small ricordea, less then 1" diameter that I am trying to attach to a piece of LR. I'm using a rubberband but it was difficult, plus it has 2 mouths which I didn't want to cover. Also, didn't want to get the rubber band too tight. Is there a better way to get them to attach to the LR?

When I was looking at my tank this evening I noticed a little bit of green bubble algae so I tested the nitrates and they were 20ppm. Typically my nitrates are in the 10-15ppm range. I've recently added 30lbs of LR, a little LS and reaquascaped my tank to convert it to a reef tank. I was...

Which should I add next? I've read that all can become aggressive towards new fish. Currently I have a pair of ocellaris, a lawnmower blenny and a watchman goby in a 65. Those 3 are the last 3 that I want to add to the tank, just want to do it in the best order. I'm thinking sixline then...

I recently rearranged my LR and added 30 more lbs. Also changed out the PHs. Currently have 2 Koralia #1 PHs (1 on the right back pointing down towards the front middle of the tank and 1 on the left side pointing down towards the back glass), 1 Koralia #2 (left back pointing down towards the...

Can ricordia's be kept under High Output T5 lighting?

I've been posting about doing this...finally took the first steps! Last night from 9:00PM to 1:30AM re-aquascaping my tank. What I pain in the you-know-what that was, but I am happy with the results and I think I created some good areas to add corals. I added 30 lbs of a rock called Tonga...

I've got a 65 gallon tank, currently an FOWLR (50lbs of LR) and a few frags, and want to rearrange the rock and add about 30 more lbs. I want to change the tank into a reef tank and make it look more natural. I have a pair of clowns and a lawnmower blenny in the tank as well as various inverts...

I'm at about the 6 month period and am thinking about replacing my bulbs. My fixture is a 36" Current Nove Extreme T5HO with (2) 39 watt 10,000k daylights and (2) 39 watt 460nm actinics. When I replace the bubls should I replace them with the same bulb or are there better ones that I should...
