Seaweed clip w/seaweed ASAP. Do you have one? You have to get that thing eating quickly.

Because your user name is Oceankid?

I like that tank a lot. I always think it might be better to have a fish only next time to cut down on all the work and you can have more aggressive fish. What vitamins are you using?

Well, I cannot find my Diamond Goby anywhere. I have a canopy on the tank so there is no way he could have jumped out. I don't see him in the overflow. This sucks. I have had him now for about 8 months and I have not seen him for 2 days. He has been digging a lot lately. Think he could...

I would toss that one and get a new ball. Cheato can go through light shock also when you get a new refugium light or when you have your light shut off for a while and then turn it back on. If it was just sitting there in the dark for 3 weeks then I do not think it would be worth keeping.

Yes...just put them in a bag and throw them away.

I would shell a little dough for the Elos one or the Salifert. Your dKH should be between 7-11 which would dictate your alkalinity. The Elos test kit for dKH is about $25, but you do get an expiration date with it so that you know how long it is good for. It is very accurate also.

I used it a long time ago and it worked really well. Your skimmer goes kind of crazy for a few weeks, but as long as you follow the directions it seems to work good.

dKH of 11 is fine. Should be between 8-11. I would work on getting nitrates down a bit and just give it a little more time. Try doing 20% water changes bi-weekly for a while.

That is a tough question to ask on a saltwater fish forum because most of the fish in our tanks come directly from the ocean. Unfortunetely, most types of fish do not breed in captivity yet so we do get our fish from the ocean. I love my fish, but I just hope that the fish traders are not over...

I am glad to see so many people on here buy American. There is no need to send our money to Japan and Germany when we have a great product right here made by Americans. People just don't think about that anymore. We were just at war with Japan and Germany a little over 60 years ago and now we...

Just like any hitchiker, their population will dramatically die off if you reduce your nutrient levels. I used to have a ton of them all over the glass and they never ate any of my coral. I did get a harlequin shrimp though to eat them all. He blazed through them in about 2 weeks and then I...

Folks should have bought American.

I replace them every 7-8 months. Though it is coming up on the 7 month mark so that might have a little to do with it. The 5 turbos that I bought seem to be getting through a little bit of it so far. Now that I think about it, I guess I really have not had a clean up crew for a while now so...

That is what I thought, but he was so adament about changing out the sand I wasnt sure if that was the right thing to do. If I did do it though, I would start my water change off with the pump how I normally do and then take the hose off the pump and siphon out the sand directly into buckets...

So I finally have my tank exactly how I want it and things are going pretty well except I cannot seem to get rid of little patches of green hair algae. I have a phos reactor, use RO/DI since I started 5 years ago, have a refugium so I do not understand where it is coming from. I only have 2...

What kind of damsels do you have in there? If they are yellowtail, they should be fine with those fish except maybe the sixline. They are one of the least aggressive of the damsels. All they do is a little tail rubbing everytime a fish is added.

I used to use it, but I do not believe the benefits equal the price tag. If it was cheaper I might use it again.
