1.) I just use NO lighting since i have no corals. The water has a slight yellow tint. 2.) Now that I look closer at the live rock, I am starting to think that it may not be algae growing on it. Its brown/green and fuzzy, but it is starting to fall off off the live rock and accumulate on the...

Hello. I have three questions that I am having a hard time finding answers for through the use of google. 1.) My water is slightly discolored and is not as clear as I would like it to be. I would like to use carbon to clear it up, but I do not have any type of filter to place it in. I only have...

wow, 100 pounds? I couldnt set up a 10 gallon tank just to breed copepods? what are some other type of live foods that I could breed for fish food? I know brine shrimp is easy but have little nutritional value.

If i were to add a pile of live rock rubble in my 55 gallon reef tank and pour a bottle of copepods in the tank, what are the odds that I could maintain a population of copepods in the tank to provide a constant source of food for my fish?

oh wow I had no idea you didnt need to dechlorinate it. That should save me quite a bit of money in the long run, thanks.

I dont feed any oily foods, just flake and dried seaweed. I filled the tank with tap water, but have topped off and changed with RO water only. I use the stress coat brand dechlorinator... I think... I just ran out and threw away the bottle so i cant remember, I just know it is a yellow bottle.

Has anyone here ever had/have a Springer damsel? If so was it incredibly shy? I was under the impression that it would be a more active and bold fish, but mine hides in a cave of the live rock and pokes his head out all day. He quickly comes out when any food is present, but he rarely ventures...

I have had an AquaC remora on my 55 gallon FOWLR tank for about 2 months and I am not sure if it is working properly. It foams up very quickly, and that foam quickly turns liquid. Foam then gets forced out of the hole on top of the lid on the collection cup and starts to drip off the skimmer. I...

I would really like to keep a wrasse, but I would also like to keep some inverts; some hermit crabs and some shrimp. I originally planned on getting a six line wrasse, but the more I read about them the more I hear stories of them picking on shrimp and hermit crabs. Are there any wrasses that...

Oh ok thanks. I will get to it then!

Would it be possible to cure 22 pounds of live rock in a 5 gallon bucket with a powerhead, a small heater and twice weekley 100% waterchanges?

I would name him Peter. Just a suggestion...

What do you guys think is the best nano tank kit for a simple nano reef: the AquaMedic Nano wave, the Biocube, the Current USA aquapod, the JBJ Nanocube or any other brand out there.

My 55 gallon tank is filled with tap water (yes I know this was very dumb on my part). All that is in the tank is 40 pounds of cured/curing live rock and 40 pounds of live sand. Would it be alright if I just changed 5-10 gallons of water weekly with distilled water until I can get a RO unit and...

can you hook up a ballast to any NO strip light and make it VHO? say like a shop light?

by check the cup do you mean empty the contents? thanks for the help.

Will coraline algae grow under 40W NO in my 55 gallon? I have 40 pounds of live rock in my tank, and I think Im gonna go FOWLR for a while and then later on upgrade to a reef tank. I dont want to buy lighting until I decide to upgrade to the reef tank, so I am just using a shoplight over my tank...

I don't think there are any RO water stands around where I live in MD either.

Oh ok thank you. I am sorry for posting the link, I forgot about that

Is a RO/DI unit really necessary, or will a unit like this be sufficient for a reef tank? Out of respect to SWF please do not post links.
