Wow guys....thank you soooo much for the responses. I think I'm going to try all of your suggestions. I'm going to try and move my powerheads around...then if that still doesn't work I'll go out and purchase another powerhead...one much more powerful!! I'll keep you posted :joy:

HELP!! I've been fighting with getting the correct placement of my powerheads...I have 2 600 maxijets in my 39 gallon saltwater tank. One is placed in in the top right hand corner in the back with the water flow pointing downwards...this placement seems to work ok. The other one I just placed...

I know the shrimp won't cure my cyno, I just like having them...they have a personality to them. Well I went ahead and adjusted the air flows to different directions. Now though, cyno has some what cleared in the old spaces but grew in the new spaces. I also have some growing on rocks in the...

Thanks man! I think you've definately given me a lot of options to try. I'm going to try changing the directions of the pump and the filter flow's tonight! I used to have 2 peppermint shrimp till one day my fish ganged up on them and had them for a snack! I'm still thinking about putting...

Meadbhb, actually yes...I do have an eclipse tank. Are those pads blue like the carbon filter pad? And what did you replace your biowheel with? Maybe I should consider switching the directions of my water flow to the opposite corners to see if that will help. Did you have to do numerous...

I've read that whole link but it still doesn't tell me what else I could do. I'm thinking I have my water pumps positioned wrong.

Hello all. It's been quite a long time since I've visited this thread. I've got a question that I know someone knows the answer to. I have a mild case of cynobacteria in my 39-gallon saltwater tank. I've changed my bulbs (both) to new ones. Didn't work. Cut back on the food even though I...

if he does get aggressive (sounds cruel) but you can clip off his large pinchers. No way!! That is too funny but cruel. I would hope it wouldn't come to that. Maybe I'll just stick to getting one since my tank is 37 gallon....or like AustinReef suggested, a cleaner or fire shrimp since...

Well thanks for responding latino227 I thought about that myself and my lfs even suggested that. Only thang is that I don't want to have the shrimp end up being the aggressor - you haven't come across any problems with yours in your tank? How many do you have? I usually like to have pairs...

hello??? I know you guys are out there cause I've had quite a bit reading this thread. What up?!

OK, so tell me this. I have a spotted goby, clown and 2 yellowtail damsels in my tank. I also HAD 2 peppermint shrimp. Everyone was getting along fine in the tank. Well one day I noticed one of the shrimp hadn't come out in a few days and I just assumed it was in it's molting stage. Well...

Well I'm not going to be dosing with iodine for a while and see what happens. I'm hoping it will go away on it's own if iodine was the problem..and my polyps come back to life!

See...that's where I get so frustrated with those lfs people :mad: They tell me that adding iodine will help my inverts. Well, on a different subject....my fish all ganged up on my 2 peppermint shrimp and ate them. I think having them in the tank kept a lot of the algae and crap down. I'm...

Heyyyyyyyy...what happened to my thread??! :jumping: You guys are a trip. Well I guess I'll just wait and see what happens once I do the water change. I forgot about the hermits killing each other for shells too...but I have so many extra in the tank - those selfish bast#*ds!! I actually...

I think your right, Kip. I'll do a water change over the weekend and see what happens after that. I'm hoping my polyps start to bounce back though...

Tech I...I don't even know what lugols are.

I am using Kent Iodine - only using once a week...

well it's just ironic cause it just started happening when I added the iodine...so I'm stumped...

Ok, my lfs told me to add iodine to my tank because my hermits were disappearing due to lack of iodine so they say. Well I added the iodine to my tank less than a capful (cause I have a 37 gallon) and now....green hair algae has started to overcome the left side of my tank AND my polyps are not...

Cool. Thanks for the advice. I think that's what my friend had...a green brittle star so I'll make sure I don't get a green one :hilarious I'm going out this weekend to check some out at my lfs.
