I started seeing these little snails appearing. This is the best picture I can get. At first I thought sundials but now I think maybe baby turbo snails.

Originally Posted by renogaw is that crushed coral, or sand? if sand what type did you put in there? there's tons of huge particles in there. when you feed your frozen foods, do you just plop the whole cube in, or do you thaw it then strainer the food out? lots of frozens have phosphate...

Thanks EB...During the week I am feeding once a day at night and during the weekend I feed 2 Xs a day. I usually mix 2 frozen things together and throw a little bit of the mixture in the tank. I don't use it all as it is too much. I also might throw a little bit of flake in but not every...

Originally Posted by renogaw phosphates can come from your food, what are you feeding? you could be reading zero phosphates because all that algae is using it up. what is your clean up crew? what corals do you have? i think your coralline turning white is a common occurance--it's happening...

I'm having 2 issues with my tank that are driving me crazy. First my paramaters: temp 79-80; salinity 1.023, ph 8.4, trites & amm 0ppm, trates 10 - 20ppm, calcium 390, phosphate 0. Tank is about 7 months old. I have T5 lighting (nova extreme fixture...actinics on 9 - 9...daylights from 10 -...

Are you still selling frags?

Looks good! Nice improvement!

Originally Posted by renogaw the sixline will eat the pods the mandarin requires, so unless you have a HUGE repdroducing population, i'd say it is out of the question. coral beauty is nice, royal grammas are supposedly tough to keep... i've just lost my second one and don't know if i'll try a...

bump...

Can you do a package without the SPS? I don't have MHs yet, so the LPS, zoos and softies woul dbe better for my tank. Thanks

I've had the same thing happen in my tank to a lot more coraline then that. I started doing with the 2 part B-Ionic and it has started turning purple again. In fact, almost all of the coraline that was white is gone. My calcium was low and I think that is what caused it, but I am not sure.

Originally Posted by Jerthunter Yes eventually, but it really depends on how much sand is there. If it feels secure against the sand it probably won't try to attach anymore until it starts to spread. If you have enough sand that you can glue I would try glueing. If you get a little glue on the...

I picked up a sixline and am thinking about what to get next. I want to add 2 more small fish to my tank. The next fish is between a Coral Beauty and a Flame Angel...probably will go with the Coral Beauty. I was considering a Royal Gramma too, but I'm not so sure. Currently I have a pair of...

Originally Posted by Jerthunter It depends, you don't really want to risk glueing the flesh of the ricordea, but if there is enough sand attached you should be able to attach it to a piece of rock or a frag disc. Not really sure what to do. Will it eventually let the sand go and attach to the LR?

Still hasn't attached. I've noticed that there are a few pieces of sand on the underside of the ric. Maybe that is stopping it...not sure. Any suggestions? Can I glue the area where the sand is to the LR?

Looks like I need to buy a new fish net...that was the only type of netting that I had in the house. Hopefully that will do the trick. What do you think is a safe amount of time to wait before I remove the netting? Thanks for the help.
