My Aqua C Remora protein skimmer has been giving off microbubbles for at least a month now. I even tried to put a piece of sponge in it and it just stops skimming. Any ideas what I am doing wrong.
I got this sand from a guys tank that he took down over a week ago. I did not have a heater nor a PH running. So is all that live sand now dead and can I rinse it and put it in my tank as a base and add some Live sand on top to seed it?
I just got 3 types og coral frags and was wondering what tests I need to buy to test the water. I've got the standard 4 tests. PH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate. Also do I need to test my water for Iodine if I have a cleaner shrimp?
I have some white bubbly foam around the top of my tank. I have the Aqua C Remora protein skimmer and thought it should take care of that. It worked great for a month and lately I have seen more bubbles around the top of my tank. I did my tests and everything looks fine. Any ideas?
I have been running just the Aqua C Remora protein skimmer on my 55g for the past 2 months and everything is fine. The one complaint is that the sides of my tank get covered in algae every other day. Would it help to add a bio-wheel filter to improve water clarity and reduce the algea. I have a...
I have a 55g column tank and want to get the right lights for soft and hard corals. How much Watt should I get? I am looking at the Coralife Aqualight Pro/Aqualight Advanced HQI 24'' cause I want the moonlights and that is the only one I see that had moons and actinics and halides in one. Any...
I just purchased a Current USA Orbit Compact Fluorescent Light 30" 2x65w with moonlights for my tank. I did not realize my tank is too tall and that is not enough light for my corals. I paid $160 and it's brand new, I even have the box it was shipped in. So I'm asking $160.00 + shipping.
I have seen these things pop up in the last few days. Anyone know what they are. I thought they were a featherduster, but they are very very small like 1/4".
I have a 55g tank. 50lbs LR and 5 lbs LS on top of 45lb Aragonite. I have not seen an Ammonia Spike let alone any ammonia however for the first two days I did the Salifert test wrong and misread that I was supposed to add 1.0ml of the NH3 reagent and I only added .1ml. Yeah I know I was...
I know we have talked about the specific water tests we should do to see if our tank is cycling, but what does a cycling tank look like. I ask this cause mine looks gross. I am getting these white spots on my LR, and the purple algae is not looking as good as it did on day 1. Not to mention the...
I'm day 3 into cycling my tank and I have already gotten a mantis shrimp out of my tank. This morning I placed my store brought shimp to kick off my cycle and tonight after I put the moonlights on I noticed all these critters chomping on the shrimp. Could they be baby Mantis'? I feel so paranoid...
