    Algae!!! Help

    Boy, do I have an algae problem. The stuff is covering everything, and is making my tank look not so good. It's a green filament type of algae. I am doing regular water changes, and my parms are good. Does anyone have any ideas on how to combat this stuff? Thanks.

    Maculosus (Map) Angel Purchase

    I assume I can ask this question, since SWF does not sell these (at least I have never seen one advertised for sale on their web site), but does anyone have a trusted place I can look to purchase a Maculosus Angel, aka a Map Angel. Thanks.

    CBS NEWS - Horrible Journalism

    Originally posted by osufarker Fox News is the worst IMO. "Fair and Balanced" yeah right. If they want to be a conservative news channel, fine, but don't claim to be balanced. False advertising from where I am sitting. If you REALLY believe this, I would offer to you that you should back up...

    Adding LARGE amounts of LR to Established Tank

    I have the opportunity to buy a LARGE amount of LR from a local person who is breaking down her tank. I have read that adding a lot of LR to an established tank can cause the readings to spike. What is the best way to keep this LR live, while I slowly add it to my tank? Could I mix up some...

    How Many Feedings Should I Get Out of Frozen Food Cubes?

    None of my guys will touch the Mysis shrimp...they let it sink to the bottom of the tank. I gave up (anyone want an almost full pack?) I also gave up on dosing the food with Zoe. First time I tried, they ignored everything. They will eat blood worms, but I've heard that's kind of like candy...

    How Many Feedings Should I Get Out of Frozen Food Cubes?

    I am trying to get my nitrates down. I recently added an Anthias to my tank, and probably started feeding too much at that point, since I know they need multiple feedings per day. My current tank inhabitants are: 1 Yellow Tang 2 Clowns 2 Cardinals 2 Chromis 1 Anthias If I thaw a cube of...

    Zoos in Trouble

    Originally posted by wrassefan Specs are okay. I would try leaving the z00s on the lower 1/3 of tank for less light and med-med high flow. Give it a week and don't keep moving them and see what happens. I've had zoos not open for days after a fish would sit on them or pick at it a bit. If...

    Zoos in Trouble

    All my other readings are 0. My ph is around 8.4. Temp is 78. I don't have a calc meter yet. We acclimated for about an hour, per our LFS. and initially put it at the bottom of the tank. We have moved it around, trying to see if it needed more or less light, and more or less water flow. The...

    Zoos in Trouble

    My reading are ok, with the exception of my Nitrates, which are way to high (80ppm). I got an Anthias (which is doing great) the day I got the zoos, and have probably been feeding too much, since I know anthias need multiple feedings per day. I also have a bio-wheel, which I have heard can be...

    Zoos in Trouble

    Couldn't find exactly my situation, so wanted to post a note, in hopes that someone could help me out. We bought our first zoo rock a couple of weeks ago. However, regardless of where we move it, it looks like you-know-what. Many of the polyps just are not opening...they look like big pimples...

    Overflows and Drilled Tanks

    I am a first timer here is SW land. I have a couple of basic questions that may have been asked before, but I must be such a newbie that I can't see the answers anywhere. I have some experience with fresh water, many years ago. However, I am now interested in getting into SW, and am reading...
