Hello fellow reefers!! I have had a Yellow Watchman for about 5 months now and recently he has started loosing his yellow color. He still eats and looks healthy, except for his color. He also has a Pistol friend that he likes to hang out with..... I feed formula 1 & 2, Myssis shrimp...

Thanks! I thought the same thing a ship in the ocean is a little different than a razor blade in a 35 Gal tank!! I ran carbon last night and everything looks fine!! Thanks again

no sump! It was only in there about a week before I found it!! I am also running some sort of pad that claims to get iron and other things out of the water!!

Well yesterday I found a rusty razor blade in my saltwater tank !! What do I need to do to get the rust out of the tank?? I have removed the razor blade and put a fresh batch of carbon in. thanks!!

Sounds like the Crab molted!

Thanks Everyone!! I will just give him a little mysis every now and then, if he eats it great if not its "light and Ca!"

Hello!! I have been spot feeding my corals about 3 times a week and have noticed that everything eats except my Frogspawn. I feed during the day and can see the mysis stuck to the frogspawn but it never really eats it just slowly releases the food back into the water....... Any Ideas??

I have been having a PH and Mg problem in my 39 gallon reef tank for a couple of months now and have been dosing Kent Mg crystals and Seachem Calcium Complete to try and get it and my PH back in line. Two weeks ago I thought I had everything under control when I got the Mg up to 1350, PH was...
