Ive got a lot of hair algae frags to trade..... But seriously, ive read a million threads on how to fix the problem. How long does it usually take? I have a LOT and heres what ive done and plan to do..... 1. I have a 125 with no sump, nor do i want one, so I got the biggest size Remora Pro...

it really cant leqach anything....graphite is just carbon

i highly doubt that occelaris clowns would protect an anemone from a puffer. in fatc i think that those may be the most expensive feeder fish ever :(

I cant find the older post i had so ill start a new one. Would running carbon (diamond brand) and changing it every day for a few weeks help better than aquarium pharm (i think its them) "phos-sorb" and "nitra-zorb"? To prevent algae growth on the sand surface what are the best organisms for...

i have had an LTA for about 12 months now :) my tank is only about 14 months old so ntohing else is liek him :)

I dont know if u can note improvement in 5 days, but it seems upset. its a m. doreensis, orangebase/long tentacle anemone. they are pretty hardy as anemones go, but dont like being on rock generally. if u dont have anywhere with a DSB try to find a friend that does. IME if they dont have the...

i dont have access to a sump, so what would be the best hang on skimmer? There are some normal looking non prism skimmers by red sea that i can get form my petshop, but i dont know if they are better than seaclones. My skimmer hasnt been working as well since this bloom because the algae clogs...

well, if the hair algae is removing nutrients and the macros are too would there really be a huge difference in what my anemone actually gets? I also plan on getting a dwarf angel in the near future. I think it would benefit from the macros. I am going to try a ball of macros in a corner of...

for the bird lovers out there, we have zupreem food at my petshop and the fruity stuff smells SUPER sweet like trix, btu in actuality it tastes liek nothing :(

i tend to run 3 different media types in my canister filters. I have 2 filters so i rotate monthly or there about between phosphate removal, nitrate removal and activated carbon. My tank is great minus the algae :(

Ive read posts where youve recommended putting macros in the display tank, but if i do that as a way to control alage, how do i control them? I dont mind macros cuz they dont seem to grow inbetween zoos and shrooms and look awful, but if i dont have any hard corals, and i only plan on zoos and...

yea i figured as much. It HAS to be from the tap water tho. I feed my tank maybe 1-2 times a week, and all i have are 2 clowns which actively hunt my nearly infinite supply of pods. im gonna keep scrubbing i guess since im really worried about that anemone biting it if i switch. My...

ok i may have my hair algae contained for the time being. When i transferred the contents of my 55 over to my 125 i took eat rock and a toothbrush and scrubbed it all off in a 29 gallon filled with only salt water so that the spores could fall off, then i did a dip in freshwater to help rinse...

I just finished the transfer of the contents of my 55 to my new 125 :) yesterday. A week from wednes day I plan on adding another fish (2 clowns and a lawnmower blenny just dont seem like enough fish). I am thinking about 3 yellow coris wrasses. i read that they school and tend to get along...

I am unable to put a sump/refugium/overflow on my tank and i have some minor hair algae problems. Could i place a bunch of caulerpa in a breeder net until the algae is under control then throw it away?

Ima get flamed here but i dont care. 1. there was for a reason. These fish are used to detect pollution/contaminants in water 2. me pet shop got them in today adn they look super tight. Keep in mind these arent injected or otherwise. The first embryos had DNA spliced into them and the rest...

i play that game magic the gathering that only geeks play :-P it uses cards

there are NO salt water frogs. i was herper before i was a reefer so im for sure on this one

Honestly that is what most people refer to as "polyp bail out" they are so stressed and need to survive is so great that they drop polyps in hopes that they get taken by current somewhere more suitable. not a good thing IMO. I have to disagree about sun polyps tho. I think that yes that are a...

I dont know if they would od the same thing, but aquarium systems/marine land is putting out a power strip for power heads exclusively that causes the electric flow change over a set amount of time. this causes some power heads to be on, some off then switch or do something else. They arent...
