    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    Will do, but I don't think I'll be able to do it until friday -.-, just gotta hope the coral lasts that long, can I leat chaeto live right in the tank, or is it a better idea to try to keep it in the box of the aquaclear or even the protein skimmer?

    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    Thanks guys, I was running actinics for 5hours and the days for 4 before, and the blooms still came through. As of this morning I can barely see into my tank again. I picked up the Aquaclear HOB filter for mechanical filtration, and I'm waiting to see if it improves the water any. Do the usual...

    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    I have really low nitrate right now, it's strange. Thank you Luv, went out and picked up an aquaclear filter after you and meow had suggested it. I'll see if it helps at all tomorrow, if not, then I'll have to wait until I pick up the chemipure. The new aquaclear has a spot to put it, so do you...

    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    Seems the shrimp enjoy the flakes and idk why, it's a small pinch and I let them just eat it right from my hand. I change the carbon every other week, I have a pad and I double layer it in the box that hangs on the skimmer in the water. I wish this was a nice little algae bloom =[. If I leave...

    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    No fish, the bulbs are almost a month old. The actinics run for 10hours and the daytime for 4. My lunar LED are on for 5 at night. My phosphate levels are within range, had them tested by my friend the other day. The R0 filters are expensive, that's why I have been using my LFS's water. The...

    Algae blooms and dieing coral.

    Hey everybody I'm new to the site, and about 4-5 months into my first saltwater tank. I have crabs, snails, a starfish, a cucumber and 8 different zooanthids in my tank. I didn't add anything until 3 months into the tank and everything was ok. All my water parameters are within range and so is...
