I have bumble bee snails, cerith snails, astrailia snails(not sure of spelling). Right now I would say maybe 4 to 6 square inches total spread out on a few rocks, but the majority of it is on the top of one of my powerheads and some on the cable. There's not really much of it but I want to get a...

My refugium is underneath my tank. The light on the fuge is on 24 hrs a day. I cut the lighting in my main tank from 14 hrs to 8 hrs. I am using RO water. I have at least 15 hermits and at least 15 snails in a 45 gallon tank. I only feed once a day and the food is gone in minutes.

I got a hose big enough for the bubble to fit through. Then I started a syphon and used the hose to knock the bubble loose. This way, if the bubble burst, the syphon would suck out any spores and lessen my chance of spreading the spores. I haven't seen anymore since I removed the one.

How do you get rid of green hair algae? I have a refugium and the macroalgae in there is doing great, so I am baffled as to why I would get green hair algae in my display tank. I thought the macroalgae would overpower the microalgae?

I have a scooter blennie and I feed him live brine shrimp and live black worms. I also have a refugium so he gets his share of pods, but he does go nuts over the brine shrimp.

Dont worry about it. In time it will be covered with Coraline Algae, the same with the back panel of your tank.

Yes, put your heater in the sump. The water will be heated in the sump and pumped into your main system. I have a digital thermometer in both my sump and my main tank and there is no temperature difference at all, not even a tenth of a degree.

You should be ashamed and feel guilty, all that live rock for only 50 bucks? I think the best way for you to feel better and to get over your guilt is to sell it all to me for 25 bucks. :D

How long have you had it? It takes about a week to break in any skimmer. You might want to go to your LFS and buy an air valve. They cost about 69 cents for two of them. The air valve that comes with it is junk and you cant regulate it.

I think your rock looks good the way it is. I have to say that I agree with Mud. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw your pics. With a 30 and a 20 gallon tank, that gives you 500 lbs on those shelves. If one of those angle brackets get bumped hard enough,all that weight will...

The 55 would be perfect as a sump for your 125. The skimmer would also work in it because you dont fill your sump all the way to the top. you have to leave allowance in case of a power outage and your tank overflows into your sump. Your sump is usually only about half to 2/3 full, but that will...

It's gone now. I started a syphon and knocked the bubble loose with the hose. It got sucked out right away with the syphon. This way, I didn't take any chances with it spreading.

To be honest, you are better off starting with a bigger tank, at least a 45. You can use the 20 gallon as a sump which will give you that much more water volume in your system and be more forgiving with your water parameters.

I just found some bubble algae in my tank. There is only one bubble so far. I was wondering if this was good or bad? I was alos wondering if I should put it in my refugium to help control nitrates? What do you experts think, put it in my refugium or get rid of it altogether?

I just built my own canopy. I have 2 VHOs in it . I mounted the ballast on the back of the canopy.

Sounds like a sea slug.

Fishhead: Not all fish are jumpers and those who do have jumpers cover their tanks with eggcrate to keep the fish from jumping out. Even though they have eggcrate on top, it is still considered open top.

No one else has any idea what these could be?

I thought everything stunk in Texas? just like the Cowboys, :D Go IGGLES :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

try adding a sand sifter star.
