Originally Posted by brolik1 ok thanks and what about the crabs?what can I feed them? You should not have to feed the crabs and snails at all. They will pick at the excess algae and waste in the tank. The feather dusters like "dirtier" water conditions. So reducing the nitrates in your tank...

Try to add 10 more pounds of good porous live rock to the tank. Try to add a refugium. Keep up with the weekly water changes and only feed 2 times a week.

I no longer have that on my tank because I got this fuge instead. The algae was in there on top of 4" of Mineral Mud. This is the light that I used.

Nope. Looks like the one's pin the pic, except red. I'm getting a Target Mandarin tomorrow to help control them.

I have a 29 gallon which has been up for 6 months, 50lbs of LR and CPR's HOB fuge which has been up and running for a week. The fuge has 2" of Mineral Mud and Cheateo in it. What are the chances of a Mandarin surviving? My tank is loaded w/ red flatworms and some pods (I've had more in the past...

Originally Posted by Murph I will get you guys the info as soon as I revisit the LFS. The card like much of everything else in my condo has been misplaced. Should be soon the LFS is right around the corner of my house. He only makes them for tanks up to 120. Its a relatively simple design...

After you test it, and your alk and calcium is low, B-Ionic works well to bring up each proportionality (sp).

Thank you both.

Are you sure he didn't just molt? Sorry for hijacking the thread. I just wanted to show you what you can do w/ low to moderate flow. Your Kenya Tree looks great!

Be paitent, keep trying to target feed it...

Thanks man. Here's one more:

Like this? It's "do-able". I'm still trying to access the link that I use to make it. Hang tight...

Becareful killing all of the flatworms in your tank w/ Flatworm Exit. They become toxic when killed and can wipe out your corals. They are really not that harmful. I've had a tank full of them for months now. On Friday I'm going to pick up my Target Mandrin to get them the natural way, by the...
