Yes, there is. Red bubble algae will take your take by storm if you allow it to. There are several causes I think - primarily poor water quality or weak lighting. If you remove it, you need to try to do this without breaking it open. I am no expert on algae but I have read that breaking the...

I do not have much to add to what was said above as far as brand preference. I switched from Oceanic to Instant Ocean and have had good luck but find that it does not mix quite as well. Since my water parameters are better with IO, I will stick with it and just mix a little longer. However, I...

When we upgraded, we were thrilled to have the overflow box and refugium. It was such a tremendous upgrade aesthetically from that overhanging filter. Additionally, we got a nice cabinet stand and canopy and transferred from PC lights to VHO's and that was great for us too. We got extra thick...

Just tested ammonia again and it is at about .4, so I added the Ammolock as you suggested. I turned the powerhead back on and moved it so that the flow is more indirect hoping to cut down some of its strength. Lights are still off and the wrasse is sleeping. The naso is at the back of the tank...

Agreed - cerith and nassarius snails would be great choices for your sandbed. One word of caution though not to make the same mistake that lots of us have made - at the pet stores, they may encourage you to get a sand-sifting star. True, they do a great job at cleaning the sand bed, but even a...

Hmm. Well, I could catch the 6-line and move her to the refugium but that would most certainly stress everyone out at this time. So far, she swims around the Naso, but does not seem to be a bother other than her constant swimming - nothing aggressive, just passing around and through the rocks a...

The 10 gallon tank is a quarantine tank. I keep my fish in there 4-6 weeks before moving them into my 90 gallon. He is only about 3 1/2 inches long right now and has rock to hide behind.

I posted this on another forum but got no response so trying again here - not sure how much time I have and I need some help please. I have a new Naso Tang in my quarantine tank. (tank has been up for 6 months) He arrived yesterday at 10:30 and we acclimated him until 1:00. He was doing fine...

He is probably just getting adjusted to his new home. Our blenny didn't come out much at all for almost a week when we got him and even now he hides for hours at a time but then he will come out and be all over the place all day some days. The fat belly is actually a good thing IMO - a blenny...
