thanks for the comments. I hope to be in it for the long haul!

this tank is barely 3 months old. We just got rid of the cyano bacteria that was taking it over.It looks much better now.please comment! Thanks!

Ive read it, thanks for the help.

ill check it out right now.

the back of the tank is a lot worse the front, mostly all on the sand but Im seeing it on my yellow gorgonian now.

the stuff on the bottom of the glass in rock hard and im sure im going to have to use a razor to get it off. Its been like this for about four days now, and it appears to be getting worse. I changed the water two days in row.

i have three power heads equaling about 700 gph in a 75 gallon tank. One in the back lower bottom, one on the front left and one on the back left.

Our tank is 3 months old. the ammonia is 0, nitrite undetectable, nitrate5.0, ph 8.2 , alkalinity normal (1.7-2.8). We just had an outbreak of very bad green algae about two weeks ago that cleared up and now this brown stuff is growing all over the live sand and up the sides of the tank. We have...

my clowns host a green button polyp, they won't even go near an anemone but our three spotted damsel hosted the bubble tip anemone.that was cool.

thanks....how big does it get and do any little flower things pop out of it?so we can tell if it is alive looking.

I was wondering what is going on with our three spotted damsel? HE turns colors- when the light is off he turns black which is his normal color and when the lights are on he turns almost completely white.So what is his deal?? I also have some pics of some corals I would like identified if...

I have 2 red and 1 yellow gorgonian in a 75 gallon reef tank. Ive had them for about 6 weeks and they would open up all the time, especially the yellow one. For the past four days in a row, I havent seen any of them open! Is that normal or are they dying or are they dead? They appear to be...

is this good or bad? should I remove it?

Does anyone know what is growing out of the top of my candycane coral? Its dark purple and looks like some kind of plant. It seems to grow very fast, it took two months for it to grow that big! Im not sure if it good or bad for the coral or if I can remove it and plant it on my live rock. Any...

isnt the cyano algae red? this algae is pure green.

I have 1 powerhead on each side and the canister filter outlet in the middle and water is moving really good. Dont seem to have any dead spots. I used the same water in my other tank and never had an algea problem. Could I need another protein skimmer or a bigger one?

skimmer is seaclone 100, 2 powerheads 250 each, canister filter 325 gallons per hour

I used about 15 gallons of the old water and the rest was all new distilled water. I had crushed coral in the old tank, and my nitrates were a little higher in the old tank, but I never had an algae problem at all. I have 30 turbo snails and 10 nassarius snails coming tomorrow.

Im using distilled water and Ive tested it and it looks ok. Could it be the new sand is trying to cycle?

i just changed my 55 gallon tank to a 75 with all new aragonite sand. After about 4 days the green algae started to cover my glass. Now its covering everything! I clean the glass and it grows back in no time! What can I do to get rid of this algae? All of the fish, anemone, and corals are doing...
