I've had a never ending battle with hair algae and cyanobacteria. It isn't near as bad as it used to be and it's pretty controllable now but I've heard that live rock will help with these problems. Has anyone had the cyanobacteria or hair algae and than added live rock and if so what kind of...

The water only comes out of the 2nd hole(not the black hose) if the return tubes are blocked! If you have problems you should call RedSea(they make the skimmer)! The black hose is how the pump create the bubbles, it has to be out of the water sucking in fresh air.

I have a Oceanic 36" flourescent hood. Has 2 bulbs, one is corallife 50/50 and the other is 10,000k superdaylight. Has 2 swithces so you can simulate the day with the 50/50 in the morning, then both most of the day and finally the 50/50 the last hour or so the lights are on. The fixture is one...

I've had cyanobacteria since Feb. and I heard Maracyn I can get rid of it and it has similar ingredients that are in red slime remover just stronger. So, I did the maracyn 1 for 5 days-because its an antibiotic and it did get rid of the cyano. but all my fish are starting to get white patches...

I have a lunare wrasse and I'm constantly thinking about getting rid of him. He is the greatest looking fish but he is really agressive and i can't keep any small fish in my tank. I would also like to have cleaner shrimp but i can't because of him. I have a 150g fo tank and I've had to take...

the tank is about a year and a half old and yes i have had about 4 fish die since the start. There are no small fish in the tank because of the lunare wrasse. The lunare wrasse is a very aggressive fish towards smaller fish. The hippo tang has gotten ick before (twice) but he's still doing good.

I've been trying to do this for a while and I finally got some pictures-I'll get some better ones soon! This is a 150g with a lunare wrasse,yellow tang,naso tang,koran angel, and emperor angel. Click on my profile for my homepage. [ June 14, 2001: Message edited by: kb ] [ June 15, 2001...

Well its been about a month since this post and I still have cyanobacteria. I really need some advice on this because I can't take it anymore. I use r/o water,i have a big protein skimmer, I have a u.v. sterilizer, and my lights are corallife 50/50 and corallife 10,000k. I've used polyfilters...

Just a poll to tell others what fish to stay away from for whatever reason. My first one I would say is a powder blue tang! It is the coolest fish but i just got one last friday and put it in my tank and now a week later its dead and my fish have ick! He wasn't stressed and looked really good...

That's too much. I got mine for 39.95 and he was about 1.5-2".

I put tiny pieces that look like flakes in and they eat those. If its bigger they don't eat it. It's worked good for me.

If you mean cleaner wrasse for shrimp or wrasse than get the cleaner shrimp. A cleaner wrasse doesn't live for that long. Cleaner shrimp are real easy to keep as long as you don't have fish that will eat them-like wrasses. I've had both and the shrimp is the way to go.

Warm water makes fish grow faster-and die faster too! It speeds up their metabolism.

I'd have to say my favorite is a clown trigger. They are so cool looking and such a dominant fish.

I do use r/o water and my tank gets a little bit of sunlight in the morning only and it only about a foot of it at a time(its 6 feet wide!).

My lights are corallife 50/50 and corallife 10,000k. I can't get a clean up crew because I have a lunare wrasse that eats anything smaller than him! I have an oceanic protein skimmer that is definitely big enough for my tank. The water flow is good in the tank. I use r/o water so how much...

I've never checked the silicates-whats that?! I had the cyanobacteria before I changed the lights and it didn't get any worse with the new lights. The tank gets about an hour of natural sunlight(but only about a half foot of it at a time). [ May 14, 2001: Message edited by: kb ]
