Hey there! I have a huge problem in my tank. I've got long haired-green algae and this red algae that looks like bubbles ALL over. I took out EVERYTHING about 2 months ago and scrubbed all my rocks as an attempt to take everything off. Now, the algae is blooming all over the place and killing...

eek! spoke to soon. I haven't seen the tangs in over a week. There's not even remains of them! So now i'm starting to think it might be a lobster that I have in there? It's not too big, but I heard they're mean! All I have left is: 1 Peppermint shrimp 1 Lobster 1 Golden Maroon clown 1...

There's a lot of rocks and they seem to always be feeding off them. I thought tangs ate algae?

It's basically the main system of filtration. It's a seperate tank (about 10 gallons) that would go under the Main tank. I was told that instead of a wet/dry system you can do a refugium filter.. so that's what I'm trying out... Any ideas? Thanks :)

I currentlly have a 55 gal wet/dry tank which is doing great. It is a reef tank and filled with corals. I am looking into setting up my boyfriend's 75 gallon tank with a refugium. The problem is that I have NO idea how to set up a refugium. We have sand, bio balls, and mud. We have a...

Well, I hopefully have solved the problem. I had an atlantic anemone who had been there for over a year with a golden marroon clown. I took the anemone to the fish store and now the clown doesn't have anywhere to lure the fish into. When I watched the tank, I realized that the clown would...

I have had my 55 gal. tank for about 2 and a half years. I have a golden maroon clown who has been in the tank for about a year and a half, and along with a damsel seemed to be the only survivors no matter what fish I buy. I saw the damsel picking on other fish, so I returned him to the store...

Thank you so much guys! I actually did some research and found that the peppermint shrmp actually eats Aiptasia, so I'm going out to buy one tomorrow! Hopefully that annoying anemone will be eaten up soon! Thank you so much for the quick replies!

Okay, so after having my tank for a year and a half. After two total wipeouts I think I finally managed to maintain a good ecosystem! All corals are growing (and reproducing) and all fish are healthy! There's also a few things that were not in the tank before that have shown up.. Maybe you...
