The lighting may work, and you could try it for 1 day or 2 esp if you dont have any corals or inverts, but if that doesnt work i have heard people who have covered there tanks completely with dark coverings for 24-48hrs with no light and that has worked...alittle to crazy for my standards but...

Thanks, all softies for now (mushrooms, leathers, zoos, sunpolyps etc..)bc i havent switch yet to MH, and not sure if i want to.... I had a Sand sifter star once in my 30g he was great never really saw it but it cleaned in conjunction with my gobies the sand like new...i havent found one small...

Actually i dont know i am experimenting with that now since i am also having that problem bc i went back to my old light setup after the tank cleared to help grow the corals ....and now i am getting areas of brown diatoms on the sand, last night i bought 2 -2 spot gobys which are fantastic for...

Its suppose to be an organic material inbedded in these small tea-bags that you place in any filter of your tank where it can be fully submerged and in a path of water flow....I placed one in a vegiclip in the middle of my tank where the water flows directly towards it and i placed another one...

This is for everyone who has ever battled a green algae bloom in a marine/fresh water tank...No I am not a rep from the company that has this miracle product just someone who almost quit the entire hobby after upgrading from a 30g to a 65g ...In just 2 months my tank went from ok to...

If anyone is interested water changes in a severe algae bloom only make things worse, cabon will not do anything either will any other media to be honest, i dont know how a green algae bloom starts or for that matter goes away i just know it has to do with an inbalance in your water parameters...

Ok I dont know if anyone mentioned this but i know exactly what your going through... I tried everything, cutting back on lighting, feeding, closing my blinds in my room, medias (phosphate, carbon, etc..) even got a better skimmer no help! Also i found out that doing water changes adds to the...

YEa I am having the same problem, since my tank isnt reef ready, i am using an overflow with U-Tube and its plumbed with PVC to my sump...I fixed the sump noise by cutting some egg crate and wedging it by the water line in the sump and putting some poly pad so when its drips down it doesnt make...

could be the lights are no good, some say fading lights will cause cyano breakouts, is your tank becoming cloudy at all? hows your phosphate levels? if so water changes may only add to the problem...I recently just switched from 10ks PC's to 12k's and actually the small cyano outbreak on rocks i...

Yea i agree, mushrooms (I am waiting for my newly fragged toadstool to attach and stand up), kenyas, zoos, green stars are extremely nice if small they look like full thick grass.... some xenias will work, i also have pcs and have bubble corals doing ok, as well as sun polys and button polyps...

Could it be some kind of hairy green mushroom growing? :thinking:

Velvet is alittle worse than ick from what i have heard, can knock out all your fish if your not careful, uv will kill most of the unwanted bacteria in your tank but also this could be an indication of water parameter fluctuations, have you checked you salinity? alk? Ph? nitrites stuff like...

You should have at least PC lights, even if small for the nano....maybe a 50/50 or 1 daylight 1 acntic ....thats what i have on my 65g (5 10ks)...and my zoos are all thriving

Thanks thats what i figured.....

Ok well my friend gave me his pretty big toadstool leather, but it seems no matter where i place it, it just leans over and hangs instead of standing up, it gets pimply but never flowers i guess you can say, its been about a week....do these corals usually stand up on there own even with a long...

I recently upgraded from a 30g to 65g and the sump (wetdry) thing was all new to me....When all said and done my fish seemed to be healthier and the tank seemed to be more stablized with the rate of water exhange (i am running a 20g wetdry with lr and a quietone 3000 pump-780gph) but it has thus...

I know this thead is old but i forgot to mention that under PC's some corals look different colors than what they really are, i have a pretty meaty zoo bush that under MH's are bright green but under my PC's are brown and only green when the acntics go on at night.... I got lucky with my pc unit...

Youd be suprised at what you can do with certain light.... After upgrading my PC's to 4 12ks from 2 10ks i thought everything would be blooming like there is no tomorrow, unfortunately my tank crashed, and had one of the rarest things happen in a marine aquarium, a green pea soup algae...
