I have a purple sea fan, probably about 12'' on its tallest stalk. For the past week or two there has been algae growing (or maybe getting caught) on the sea fan. I keep blowing it off with a turkey baster, but it is always back the next day. What should i do?

Be careful with adding lemon juice, especially in a small tank like your 29 gallon. Reason being: Lemon juice is extremelty acidic and could have adverse affects on your PH level. One of the clerks from the a LFS near by told me of a client's tank crashing when the client used lemon juice...

I just made a diagram to help explain what poseidon is saying.... This way you reduce the flow to the DT without restricting your pump.

unless you have extremely sensitive skin, then handling an anemone should not bother you at all. I dont go out of my way too touch them but have definately taken them out of plastic bags and placed them in tanks with my bare hands

If you have any do it yourself spirit in you, one option would be to open up the wiring loom that holds all the wires to the different lights then split them apart and run individual plugs and timers for each of them.

12 on 12 off. the zooxanthelae algae need time to rest and the corals actually need time for photosynthesis to stop so that they can retrieve nutrients from other sources such as the feedings you give them. That is why they stick their feeder tentacles out at night (so they can retrieve food...

SO hypthetically... what if i had a 55 gallon tank with a 300 gallon refugium/sump (great flow, circulation, and lots of live rock) Could i then jam that 55 gallon full of a lot of small peaceful fish?

I just recently started a log. Good dilligence with those logs! I dont test nearly as often as you, and I rarely test for ever single level like you do... But i have recently starterd writing it down. I test salinitiy and temp just about everyday (A.M and P.M) Because i have to add calcium...

I may have skimmed over it, but what is the I.D on that spotted white animal on the first page that you called a "harlequin"?

I have had one of these guys crawling around in my refugium for the past year... He was given to me by a fellow reefer to help keep things clean, there are still visible pods on the glass (he seems way to slow to catch any). Should i get him out of there or is this an acceptable animal to...

I went to a LFS' annual sidewalk sale this weekend and picked up a used acrylic sump ($25) and a couple of brand new Dual Actinic Power compacts ($12 each). The sump is going to be elevated between the level of my 30G Reef and the refugium that is sitting on the floor. I plan on running the...
