I think these tanks are amazing!

My Diamond Goby jumped the tank last night and died! I had the top open, and I didn't think he would jump when the room was completely dark. I was wrong. Any suggestions for a goby that cleans well but doesn't stir the sand too much? I want to add a Spotted Mandarin soon. Thanks

My sailfin looks completely healthy, but I have noticed him "bellyflopping" in the sand tonight...any reasons why?

I will post all info tomorrow! Thanks for the quick responses!

It's a 29 gallon new reef, good parameters...But there is the purple algae covering the sand bed. We have gotten a cleanup crew, stirred the sand up, but it will not go away. Any suggestions?

Has anyone used Herbtana for ich in their reef? My LFS said this is a good product...

I added a monti frag over a week ago, and a fish probably a month ago.

The high temps (82) won't hurt my corals?

My sailfin looks as if he is developing ich. I have a kole as well, but he has no signs. My sailfin is swimming fine, and I have a neon goby. Should I wait and see what will happen, or go ahead and break the whole tank apart and QT him? Thank you

I don't test it at the same time of day. Can it differ throughout the day?

My LFS suggests not to get a protein skimmer because the break often. He said he's had a tank for over 5 years and never had a ps.

Not much surface agitation. I do not have a protein skimmer, and I would prefer now to get one. They seem to be too much trouble and break a lot.

My pH will not stay consistently around 8.2-8.4. I have a thin film layer on my water surface, but I adjusted my powerhead to break it up. Will this help the pH?

My Frogspawn is about 3 months old...growing like a weed now my calcium levels are stable!
