OMG, I wish I would have seen this before I bought my carpet yesterday!!! I had no idea.....newbie mistake I guess, jumped the gun before my research!! Now I'm worried....I have a Hippo Tang, a Clown, and Firefish and bought a Yellow Tang yesterday as well. Man this concerns me!!!

My 75G is 9 Months old and the 36 is a year old. I have lots of Diatoms in my tank so I thought that would be enough to keep them fed but maybe not.

One more thing.....I had 6 turbo snails. they only lasted about a month and a half. is that normal? I heard they have short life spans. is that true or do you think my tank isn't just right?

Thanks for the info. I have another tank as well, I'll put the starfish in it. Would it be better to go to a LFS to buy the coral or order online? How about the temp of the tank? I'm sure my tank is too warm now (84 degrees) but my fish seem happy. Will that be too warm for coral? Should I...

alright....lets see what I have :) 75G Tank Sump Filter 2 Large PH's Protien Skimmer Blue Hippo, Maroon Clown, and Firefish Goby 5 Hermit crabs (I am embarrassed to say that's all I have for a CUC for now) Last but not least....a chocolate chip starfish As for what type of coral? I have no...

So, My aquariums have been up and running for 8 months now and I'm so please with everything. My ultimate goal was to eventually have a reef tank with the beautiful corals I see in all of your tanks (I'm so jelous). I finally bit the bullit and ordered me a new MH Light fixture yesterday and I...

I just bought a NEW 48" system with 2 Metal Halide lamps and 6 LED moon lights for $189.99 plus shipping. If your interested in the details, send me a message and I'll fill you in.

Should I feed them anything special? Feed them a special way? I read online that flakes were fine for them. Any suggestions?

Well just thought I would give an update. The red slime is now gone. I was at the LFS and was asking questions about a chocolate star fish and she said that they would eat the red slime. Well, I bought 2 and what do you know, its gone in less than 2 days. They seem to be doing rather well...

I noticed something new about this stuff and would like your opinions to continue. I moved the powerhead and it blows off of the rock very easily. Its very grainy like sand when I touch it and it rubs right off. Any thoughts? Its really growing.

it actually started on the sand before it made its way to the rock. I don't know how fast coraline grows, but its covering my rocks pretty quickly now. i've noticed a large increase in just the past few days. I hope its nothing bad :(

One more thing, thanks Novahobbies for the info on the Tang. I was under the impression that when the sites say tank size, it meant that is all you ever had to have. I didn't realize that its what they need as a young fish. Guess that's just more reasong to upgrade to a larger tank in the...

Do I get any foam from the Jebo? Very litte. I think most that is collecting is just moisture that is working its way up. I do see it foaming on occassion but not real well, but I guess its ok. I have never experienced the cup overflowing. I have let it sit for weeks and only had like 2...

I cycled my 75 with a raw shrimp and left it in until the amonia came back down to zero then took it out. After that, I watched the trites and trates then once they leveled out to where they should be, I let it set for another week then added a few fish. Been up and running for 3 months now...

How long should a tank be established before attemping an anemone? I've had my 36 since November and my 75 since December. Do you think I could get one soon for either of them?

It seems kind of crunchy when I pick it up. Its not slimy, so like you, I thought it may be coralline. Is that a good thing?

Just thought I would post an update on my 75 gallon. I've had it up and running since December and its going great. I never dreamed I would end up with 3 tanks in my house!!! 75, 36 bow, and my 20L for the quarantine, I think its an addiction, LOL....Anyway, I've got a Coral Beauty Angel...

I have a 75 gallon tank that has been up since December. I have noticed for the last couple of weeks some pink/reddish stuff on my sand and on my rocks. I thought what was on my rocks could be what I think is called coraline (could be wrong) but since its now growing on my sand, I'm clueless...

I've had one for about a month and still have not seen any foam in the collection cup. really not sure if its worth wasting your time.

the way to avoid it is to remove the sand and rock. Most recommend in a non-emergency situation to cycle the QT with a piece of live rock before doing the hypo and once you get ready to put the fish in, just simply remove the rock. During down time, you can also keep the filter cartridge in...
