My Hippo Tang is also a pig, big time! But I have yet to see her nip at any corals. I've had her for almost a year, but maybe when she becomes an adult she'll start snacking on the living. Oh, wait.....she already did that killing my Naso Tang.

I found the picture. It was posted by mujtba, still uses this picture as his avatar. Here is the thread to get the entire story: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/271837/oh-my-god-grip-of-death

The blue tang better watch out. The clam might get sick of it and clamp down on the tangs nose. Who has that picture?

My Mag is down to 1460 now and the white stuff seems to be receding.

It's now starting to turn a rust color. I'm assuming it's because I messed with it. You can actually see a spot of the rest color in the second picture (upper right corner), this is the spot I touched to see if it would come off. But now that I've done a water change there are several more of...

Originally Posted by bgrae001 As far as the algae goes when was the last time you changed out your main membrane in you RO unit? I don't mean the filters. I changed the membrane within the past year. How often does it need to be changed? My RO/DI unit was reading 5 TDS, so I replaced the DI...

Originally Posted by Bang Guy It liiks like a bacterial mat to me. Is there something dead under it that bacteria can feed on? Not that I can see. It's just rock under it. And it's spreading over several different rocks, so I don't think I would have that many dead things in my tank.

It's not bleached coraline. When I was doing the water change it was actually easy to blow off, but it does not blow off like powder. It peals off like red slime algea. Mag 1900 Cal 400 pH 8.2 Alk 3.0 Nitrate 0 Nitrite 0 Amonia 0 Salinity 1.025 I'm thinking it's the high Mag that is the cause...

What is this? (see picture below) It's as white as the picture shows and it's actually very easy to rub off. It started off as just a tiny bit and now it's starting to spread like wild fire. My Mag is pretty high, around 1900. All other parameters are in check but some of my corals are not...

Well, at least your fish died a quick death! lol. My Naso tang suffered for three weeks. Poor thing.... We are working on getting a calcium reactor put in. I'm getting tired of dosing every day and trying to keep things balanced. If I get tired and don't dose one day all my numbers drop...

Originally Posted by jpa0741 I hear you. I don't know why my cheato grows like that, but it did that in my last tank too. I think it has something to do with the red cotton algae that mixes in with it. It still grows well, I just remove about half of it every couple weeks. It is doing a great...

Anyone?

Does anyone have the Pacific Coast Calcium Reactor CR-100 Dual Chamber? If so, what are you thoughts on this reactor and was it worth the money? With the additons of the Milwaukee SMS122 (monitor) and Milwaukee Regulator/solenoid (CO2). Any thoughts?

Wow, your tanks look great. Love the frag tank!!! You know, I have some great looking zoos but for the past 6 months my largest colony has slowly been melting away (and it's not pox). I'm not sure what it is. I've tried dipping them and nothing seems to help. I can't ever see anything...

Originally Posted by Kevin34 Tank looks good. The CUC looks fine too but I would wait on the shrimp as they need more of a mature tank. People have had success adding them to a new tank but it is risky. Just adding my 2 cents.....I added my cleaner shrimp soon after my tank cycled, along with...
