Take the water to you lfs. They will test it for free. (and of course tell you what you need to buy from them)

I love and enjoy my 100 gal tank. Found a 180 stand, canopy, lights, pumps and rock for really cheap. Told my boss about it and he suggested he pay for it and we keep it in the restaurant. So now I get one at work and at home. Already picked out a dark wall to put it against. Life is good.

I have rescued a few bubbles from one local lfs. I brought them all back but constantly testing ALL and EVERYTHING with the water. Keep foods to change up and feed them. Phytoplex, cyclops, baby brine etc. Keep the lights at about 5 hours to help with the algae. That will be enough to sustain...

Awesome tank! I'm about to upgrade from my ole faithful 100gal to a 180. Any words of wisdom for that tank? LPS, softies and fish.

Try spot feeding it to keep it from going further down hill. Baby brine, oyster eggs, cyclop-eeze. Have to get rid of the hair algae. Less light time, fish food, water changes. Keep testing and don't give up.

Cut the time of your lights in half until it goes away. Then run them for 8hrs a day after. You should see a good change. How old are your bulbs?

Had 2 friends go through the same thing in the past month. Do what's listed above and you'll be fine. A sump/fuge helps if you don't already have one.

Qt til you find out what they are.

How much flow is directly on them?

The more reef safe wrasses are always fun to watch swim around in your tank and they can be really colorful. When you switch tanks and catch the damsel get rid of him.

I've heard of people injecting the buggers with calcium. Anyone have luck with this?

Try low/medium flow (kind of like a breeze) and good lighting. Coral vitamines can be bought locally or on here. I have 2 goniopora's and they are alot happier moving them out of alot of current. Full extension.

Try them Monday. They have been good at making things right with my friends and I when once in a great while something messes up. Had a ups man bounce a package off my door once. Never thought I could scare someone in my pajama's that badly. Radiant wrasse was ok.

These guys are absolutely right on the accimilation. Over the years I've had the zebra hermits being more aggressive. One got a taste for my snails that had been in there forever and then I watched him take out my healthy clam under some rock work. Had plenty of shells. Some snails were even...

You can get a 20gal high with a heater, filter, hood, lights and some food samples as a package from most lfs for around 60-70 bucks.

Try raking the sand when you feed your other fish. Get him out and about mingling. I don't have anything agressive in mine, so it only took my radiant about a day to come out and play. When he does I promise it will be worth the wait.

I got 2 #2's (600gph) for my 100 gal. The fish and all my softies love them. Depends on what pump you have and what you have/ want in your tank.

A nice 4in elegance that they thought was dead. Poor guy was just under too much light.
