I just talked to the rep. at aqua uv on their 800# and they told me to get the 25w? Kind of weird.

Mr. Salty, where did you get yours and for how much. I saw it on petwhse**** and it was like $139.95 but i couldn't tell if it had the wiper or the gold pins. Thanks for the info. And on an unrelated topic-what is the best way to clean dead coral? I have red algae on my coral that need...

I'm looking at the Aqua Ultraviolet and I have a 150fo tank. It looks like i should get the 15w or 25w. Which size should I get and why?

Pufferdaddy, thanks for the info. Surferboy, how is yours hooked up(is it permanent or temporarily hooked up only when you use it?). I tested my phosphates from the tap water and they are off the chart!!! Also if i need 45 gallons of water how much water is wasted to get the 45gallons for my...

Pufferdaddy, Do you recommend the unit or should i look for a different one? If it is good-do you have red algae or do you ever check your phosphates? I'm most interested in getting it to get rid of phosphates.

I have a 150g fo tank and the place where i got my uv sterilzer can't get me a replacement bulb. They installed it and threw the box out so I don't remember the name of the unit-I do know that it is a 16watt VHO bulb which equals about a 25 watt regular uv bulb. Its a rectangular black box...

I put my flame angel in my 30g and took the potters angel out of the 30g and put it in the 150g. So, the smallest fish in my 150g is the potters angel and the wrasse hasn't bothered it yet! Everyone that replied about the lunare wrasse has said it is pretty nasty-has or does anyone have one...

I have a 150 fo tank with a lunare wrasse that keeps getting bigger every day. I had to take my 2 clownfish out because the wrasse would go after them like he was trying to eat them(like attacking them!). I now have a flame angel for my smallest fish in there and last night he was chasing the...

Beth, thanks for all the info. It's red algae thats bothering me. The whole back wall of my tank is green algae but the coral is dark red-i mean bad. I dont like the bleach thing either but this stuff doesn't come off. I used a toothbrush and the red algae didn't move!? I am hoping that...

I have a lot of red algae on my coral. My phosphates were high and I have brought them down, my question is how do i get rid of this red algae? Will it eventually go away or do i need to do something? And another related question-has anyone ever had coral that was so discolored with algae that...

I also wonder when you get the ro water where does it come out and get put? I have a 150g tank and i fill the 50 gallon garbage can with water right in front of my tank because it ways so much it doesn't move. And where does the ro unit get installed-is it permanent or is it hooked up only when...

I have been having a problem with phosphate and I finally tested my tap water and the phosphate was darker than the darkest color on my test kit display! I need to do something and i was wondering how the RO works and what are the pros and cons of it. For now i use Phosguard in the trickle...

I have some pictures i wanted to post but i cant figure it out. I created a web page but i cant get the pictures to that web page. Does anyone know how to do this?

I just got a potters angelfish and was wondering if anyone has one and what has been you're experience with them? What do they eat etc....

wrassefan, I have the phosphate remover in the tray of the trickle filter with the water coming out right through the bag of phosguard. The trickle filter has two returns that go back to the tank and it really moves the water good. I'll check the exact lights i have and post it monday...

wrassefan, right now i have a phosphate remover in my trickle filter, the weird thing is my whole back wall is all green algae but red on my coral. I have an oceanic 150g fo tank with whatever lights came with it. I know they're the right strength because i saw something that said how much you...

I treated for cynobacteria and i dont have that but i have red algae on all my coral and its getting really bad. Has anyone had this where it gets really dark red on all your coral. My phosphate is a high and im lowering it now-could this be the reason?

I have a 150fo tank with a 3" clown triggerfish. He is growing and instead of his whole mouth area yellow like when he was smaller it is starting to turn black near his mouth and he is acting really weird lately. He hides a lot now during the day(he never did this before) and he has a major...

Why would you do a water change before your tank is cycled? This stops or really hinders the cycling process. Its like starting the cycle again. Why dont you get one of the products that cycles the tank immediately-they're not that expensive and they work well. Maybe you could ask some people...

My tap water must have way too much phosphate in it because i'm starting to get cynobacteria all over my tank again. Does anyone do anything special to their water before you add it to the tank? What do you use and how much is it? I just keep using phosguard to get rid of the phosphate. any...
