    29g biocube, attempt number two.

    Sometimes bubbles just happen. I get them occasionally. I make sure to shut off ALL equipment when I so a water change, this way, they don't suck in air. Some systems just get a gulp of air every now and then and it will get stuck in the filter/line and come out at random times. The best thing...

    Help with a rebuild!

    Several rounds of Erythro later and the tank and tang seem to be doing well. Didn't do my water change like I planned but I will be doing it shortly. Speaking of water changes- I gave the 150 a "shave" last night and it looks SOOO much better. The sand is beginning to collect a TON of...

    Acyrlic- I think that I expressed that these were my opinions. I know that in my case, the lighting was the issue with the 60. The LED lights are the whole reason that this thread even exists. The lighting is what led to my having to rebuild my whole tank. I didn't have a crash, I had a GREAT...

    Now some pictures of the 150... We are starting to see a lot of film algae and build up on the sand... It looks a little lopsided but I think it'll fill out nicely when I finally add all of the rock from the 60... There is a ton in there, so... I think this is a good start. I like all of the...

    So here are a lot of pictures. hehe FTS of the 60 Some shots of the tang... He is half white on the back due to aggression. He has discovered his own reflection and is busy doing the "this is my tank" dance, up and down the glass. I am hoping that this does not cause him undo stress. When...

    Help with a rebuild!

    Limpid- In regard to the lighting, I would not trust such an investment to LED. This is just me... You will have to read back to my issues with the LEDs... Long story short, it will be years before I trust any LEDs to run on my reef tank EVER. I am not even sure if I would run a FOWLR with...

    Help with a rebuild!

    None of my guys pick on anything. Not coral, not the clam... never see any nips on anything. I will say this. I have learned to only buy LARGE clams for a few reasons. The smaller ones are dependent on both micro foods AND light. They are more choosey as to the micro foods that they will...

    Ahahahah Nova... terrible... Limpid- I have a very large squamosa. As far as clams go, they are generally the more plain guys but this clam is pretty decent looking. I mainly bought it because it was 60 bucks and it's sheer size is kind of the wow favor of it. I have some shots around... lemme...

    REJOICE! The tang is looking a million times better!!! It was, clearly, bacterial. I have been using small amounts of erythromycin as a food soak and it has been working beautifully! I will try to snap a cell phone pic or two of the wound around the mouth. It looks A LOT better. Ugh I am so...

    Name this illness, please.

    It appears that whatever is going on, it is bacterial. I have been using erythromycin as a food soak and it appears to be helping a LOT. No negative effects as far as I can tell. The sore around the mouth has healed and is drastically smaller. The nodes on the side fin are not open but they...

    Name this illness, please.

    I had already taken a look at those threads that are at the top of the disease area. Lympho was the only thing that I could come up with out of those diseases/pictures. I am just struggling with whether to leave him alone and not stress him, and hope he gets better. if it's not lympho and I...

    hahaha I was not talking about you, sir. :-p I looked around town for furan but it is no where to be found. I suppose I will start with the other stuff and see what happens. No, I remember the killer QT name but I did not know what actually happened with that. Care to give me the cliff notes? I...
