Formulas in cube form have a "gel binder" that holds the cube together. If you let it sit for long enough the cube will melt and become a mush makeing it small enough for the smaller fish to fit in their mouth without you chopping it up. The fact your tang is not eating is not good. A sign...

Don't say i didn't warn you about the copper :) Sounds Like you may have shocked the system by adding 3 fish to it all at once. That may have been to much for the bacteria to handle and thus why things shot up. Its very possible then if you have alot of ammonia that your fish are burning and...

You already have actinics. The power quad is basically dual 50/50 bulbs in one bulb. If all you want to do is see the corals glow then you can use the blacklight. It neither hurts nor benefits anything just runs your power bill :)

Hmmm. What are you feeding? What are they used to eating? Formula 2 is largely algae based i think and some will not eat it. You could try half a cube and make sure you have a clean up crew to eat the left overs. Try mixing a small amount of the formula 2 with the normal food fare. They...

I have heard things about black lights and can't remember much. Try doing a search on it. Im sure its been touched plenty of times. From what i can remember its the wrong spectrum of light and not strong enough to do anything for the corals anyways..... EDIT: it won't hurt them though so by...

I've heard in the past that every fish has ich and its just a matter of the proper conditions bringing it out. I don't know if thats true or not. It is probalby the most common disease and the most treatable disease. Once ich is in the system all your fish need to be taken out and treated...

You could try a 1 gallon species tank. But my guess is they may not do well since they do eat corals.....

Hmmm. Disease is not my forte... Try posting this in the disease forum. Beth and Terry B are good with disease i think Terry B is.... Sounds like a fungal parasite of some sort. I don't know about flukes. I guess it could be. Be careful treating your tank with meds. They have a tendency...

Try it near sps too. The smaller particles will be absorbed by the polyps.... EVERYONE loves zooplankton :)

Well i still don't believe its pods but hey like i said if it turns out they are...... And i'm also not well versed in latin pod names :)

We'll have to agree to disagree on the lights thing.... :) I have a 20 gallon with sps's 6 inches under 130 pc's and they are growing just as well as said corals under halides. Seriatopora is about an inch a month and the monti digi is almost an inch and a half a month. I would have my...

BTW what did you loose? And what happened in the first place....

HAHAHA. Funny. I have some frag pieces if you need something to fill you out. I have three newly based pieces of my kenya tree coral. Plus i split up the caulastrae i glued together originally, broke a nub off the monti digi accidentally. Question does your hammer grow little nubs at the...

Oh i see what you are saying... Hmmm... My guess is the fuge is doing its job but at the same time you have the algae growing in your tank. Yes the fuge is taking up the nitrates and phosphates but it is competeing with the bryopsis for this food source and so maybe there is enough to go...

Damn dude what happened? Your tank was so money.....

AHHHHH... Great idea... Didn't think of that. Ill try it. I have some store bought shrimp that will stay on the bottom too that i'm thawing out. I'll try that in a day or so....

Good luck farming that tank.... Looks good though. Try and get a handle on the hair algae now or it will get out of control one day... I"m sure you know that.

What kind of water are you using and what do you have for cleanup in the tank?

I think your logic is flawed reefnut. Think of it as a competing source for the PO4. Kind of like live plants in a FW tank. If the PO4 remover competes with the algae and gets say 50% of it, that will, i would think, stunt the growth of the algae.....

Hmmm. Guess ill eat my words :)
