I think the question we need to find out is before you even look to lfs bottled garbage that promotes results is why is he having an ammonia problem? Are their fish in the tank? maybe one died your not aware of? Hows your rock status is it cured? or base rock?? deep sand bed? all things that can...

yeah as i have learned you shouldnt be adding anything to your tank, most of that stuff is bs in my opinion and only stears the tank in the wrong direction...your tank should progress on its own and start looking good if you maintained everything the right way, ro water, good salinity, temp, and...

Well i guess i am speaking in terms of doing a reef setup, but i did have FO for awhile.....Phos or phosphate media thats what i was speakin of, its usually found in tap water and tell tale signs of needing a phos media is red cyano bacteria or brown diatoms on the sand and or rocks.... As for...

I think the first box (with 2 leds pictured above) come with the ac adapter is about $23 give or take, the add ons (w/o the ac adapter) they plug into the side of the main one, giving you additional leds is about $12-$15...This brand is more common than you think apparenetly all of companies on...

Moonlights rock!!! They give the tank that extra look at night plus they serve as a spawning light for inverts from what i hear....I have all my lights on timers so they go on automatically so my tank is never dark...better for the fish imo!! Here is what i got in my setup, very inexpensive...

I think they are great for lower gallon tanks...as for bigger tanks i def think you would see an improvement in tank conditons with a sump/refug. Just my 2 cents....You get more flow, a constant replenish of water, higher o2 levels for the fish and can be used if setup right as extra power...

Deep sand bed = nightmare down the road.... My personal experience if anyone remembers the green water incident i had followed after the deep sand bed matter....I had about a 3" sand bed and it started to get weird colored deep down and you could see it through the glass at the bottom (like...

WoW I have the same thing in my tank!!! I see the little guy every once in awhile and actually on 2 occasions seen the thing blow the white smoke out of its body, and yes it does look like a snail without a shell, anyone have any ideas???? I think its throwing out babies to be honest, thats my...

I havent been a fan of the shrimp cycle method but if it works more power to ya...I have heard it may take awhile and even than you really dont know if the shrimp may cause an ammonia outbreak ...... As far as the tank goes a 55g with a hang on filter may not be the best bet...i would look into...

3 heads for $240 ?!?? WoW thats insane...I picked 1 head up from a friend for $10 lol and i also got 1 head of rainbow hammer from a LFS for $20....and i thought $60-$80 for 6+ heads was crazy lol ..... That also would mean that the green hammer i scored for free at a local frag swap with 12-15...

looks like white star polyps from the green star polyp family...they also come in brown colors as well....

Put a nice sized fan on top of the tank and let it cool down the lights will help greatly!!! Also if you have an ac in the room turn it up, thats the same as having a chiller.... Fan on top of my sump=80.8 Fan on top of my canopy blowing in=80.0 AC on with fan=78.2 AC and fan all nite=77.1 This...

Mine does the same as everyones as well...reaches for the light...xenia grow like weeds and you can frag them easily to move them to a diff location...i did that the other day with a razor cut a branch off put it on another rock and its doing fine!!!

that is normal at night for some fish to get pale looking, esp yellow tangs, etc...also could be a sign of old age, i know a friend who has an old domino damsel jet black that now is almost casper white.... Also you might want to switch your food, some foods are made for enhancing fish colors as...
