    powerhaeds for a 55

    I have a maxi-jet 900 with an alage free sureflo mod and this thing rocks. If you get it spend the money and get the magnet kit, it's worth the money!! I got the 100 magnet and it's almost too powerfull. It takes everything I got to move the mags.

    Red Algae?

    Look into banded goby AKA sleeper goby AKA dragon goby. This guy knocked out ALL of my slim alage in three days. Most of it was on the sand but now he is picking at the remaining small patches on the rocks. He is amazingly fast. They sift the sand through their gills so you need to have small...

    Cyanobacteria

    I have fought with cyno/ blue/green slime alage. I cut back on the lights and that helped some. But what really got rid of the cyno on the sand is a little helper I named Hover. Hover is a banded sleeper goby. Also called a bullet or dragon goby, they sell them here but I got mine at my LFS...

    Corals for "credit" at the LFS.... how much?

    My LFS doesn't take anything back. You can give it to them but they have told me that they will not trade or give credit for anything. Consider yourself lucky to get anything. Just a question why didn't you sell them or trade them on here? Everything looked great and I'm sure someone would buy...

    One pincher

    CBS like their space and don't like to share it. Once they pick a home they will defend it. I have not had a problem with mine. Everyone knows to stay out of reach. I have a huge CBS living in a 55g with 2 pepermint, 2 cleaner and 2 gulf shrimp. They give him plenty of space. Also you need to...

    Best Kind of Hermit Crab?

    When you add hermits add them slowly. Put five or so in and give them a week, then if you want add some more untill you get the desired effect,I.E algae control, or extra food consumption. I would go with scarlett hermits. I have both blue and scarlets and the scarlets are much nicer and a lot...

    red hair algae elimination

    try cutting back on your light. It works for me. Also if your nitrates are high that can make it worse. How old is your tank and what are your readings?

    Should I worry about this (pics)

    Patience grasshopper! If it was aptasia, I don't think it was, It would not have become a problem for a while. In the mean time you could let it get bigger and really see what it was. I think it was some kind of soft coral or polop. I think you just killed your first coral, at least you got that...

    pic wanted

    Does anyone have a pic of a mushroom splitting? I think the one I have is starting but want to make sure. If he is not going to split I'm going to frag him myself. Maybe I should try pointing a razor blade at him. "SPLIT OR I'M GONNA CUT YA'" Thanks for the help guys
