can someone please help me I have a new kodak easyshare usb is hooked up but I just don't know how to post pics. Thank you

I don't believe that it is ich, the spots don't get better or worse like the ich cycle. Also I have a hippo tang which is healthy as a horse, and would most certainly contract ich if it was in the system. I'll post a pic tommorow, my lights are off and the fish are all in the rocks.

yeah I guess I would leave it out too. Hippo's typically like to stretch out and need a minimum of a 6 foot tank for longterm developement

no you didn't do anything wrong, The collection cup can only go down so far before it bottoms out, which would be for producing very wet skimmate. When you lower the black rubber ring and raise the collection cup you get a very dry muddy skimmate. It's up to you how you would like the skimmer...

I empty my skimmate before I go to bed and also when I wake up. The collection cup on my remora pro is full each time with dark tea, so I guess that would be wet.

they are really hit and miss with cleaner shrimp, It really depends on the individual

I would say go for it, they are different enough in shape so they shouldn't fight. I have a hippo, yellow, and powder brown in my 240 and it still doesn't seem like enough room for them. I had my hippo and yellow together in my 90 gallon with about 100# of live rock and they were fine. Long...

I keep mine at 77 seems to reduce algae growth in my 240

yes, but make sure the copperband is eating before you bring it home, can be finniky

is it a powder blue or a blue hippo tang?

I received a free bubble coral that looks just as yours does, are you feeding it anything?

I've had xenia for about 4 years in my 90 gallon reef. I recently upgraded to a 240 (4 months ago) and my xenia is slowly declining. I had t-5's on my 90 and now I run 4 175 watt halides on my 240. Could this be the problem for the decline? I had about 60 stalks and now I have 12. Could the...

be patient and practice good maitenence and reduce feeding. It will take time, hair algae and red slime don't go away overnight

use 3/4 inch foam between the tank and stand. It will squish down to nothing and will allow more wiggle room for unlevel surface. I used it on my 240 which is perfectly level.

increasing the amount of (cured) liverock will help this problem along with more flow

The tank is still pretty new and will go through different algae stages. I had the same problem in my 90 gallon reef. I slowly lowered the temperature to 77 and took out the liverock one at a time and using a flexible scrub brush and a bucket of fresh saltwater I removed all of the hair algae...

I have had a powder brown for about 4 years without any problems. In fact this is one of the most beautiful speciman I have ever seen. The tang is nearly 8 inches in length and is fat as can be. I feed a variety of foods such as nori, mysis shrimp, emerald entree, formula two, and use garlic...

instead of buying koralias I would go with the algae free sure flow kits as well. I have a koralia 4 and it doesn't even compare to the sure flow mod as far as performance. I have a 240 gallon reef tank and I have two maxi jet 1200's with the sure flow kits. I decided to buy one more kit...

I had the seaclone on my 90 gallon tank. When it is dialed in correctly I thought it worked great, until I upgraded to the aqua-c remora pro. I definately recomend this skimmer to anyone who doesn't have a sump. The collection cup on mine has to be emptied in the morning and before I go to...
