    Is this some kind of mushroom starting?

    Noticed these little white spots with dark centers popping up all around my tank. What do you think they may be? Also just noticed today that I have some feather dusters (center of picture) that just materialized out of the rocks. Tank has been going now since February 08.

    Diatom Bloom

    Quick question: Can a diatom bloom kill a newly introdued fish? Cycled my new FOWLR tank for about 6 weeks and also added a colonizing bacteria to get it started. Then introduced a clown fish. 3 days later started to see the diatom bloom. I think it was because my light timer was not set...

    Refractometer or hydrometer

    I did a drip method acclimation-just like is recommened over about an hour and a half. I never did see him eat at the LFS. Would there ever be a time when you buy a clown out of a tank that has 6 or more in it that maybe he was paired up with another and does that make a difference if you...

    Refractometer or hydrometer

    Also the clown never wanted to eat. I tried flake and seaweed on a clip. He acted OK (i.e. swimming around in his home area) but just didn't want to eat. Sometimes he would try to eat but just spit it back out. He looked OK. I am confused.

    Refractometer or hydrometer

    The hydro is a swing arm and ussually testes the same each time. The refracto doesn't vary at all. When I first started using it, I thought it was because I forgot to rinse out my dropper in between test (which I do now). The reason I ask is that my 2 week old clown died this morning and I am...

    Refractometer or hydrometer

    I am fairly new to saltwater. I purchased a cheap Odysea hydrometer and it seemed to work fine. In reading different opinions I decided to get a refractometer because of higher accuracy. Well, I bought the cheap $24 one off the internet and not sure that was the way to go. I have calibrated...

    My Coralife Super Skimmer

    I also have a Corallife Skimmer but I use mine in a sump. Your right, they do a great job at producing bubbles but if the basket is not set at the correct height or if the black tube is "jammed" into the foam, it will overflow the top of the basket. Try adjusting its height and also the amount...
