Well what I think happened was I was leaving my light on for way too long and it took me a while to get my protein skimmer in. Algae seriously took over the glass and was covering my rocks, I had 2 anemones in there a carpet and a hatian, both died. I lost 2 green chromis, 1 just disapeared...

oh yeah.. and I have 90lbs of live rock.

What would you say to adding a urchin or 2, some blood shrimp and another star?

I used to do 12 hours with my moonlight light with actnics and 10,000k but then I got REALLY bad algae so now I am down to 5 hours a day to try to kill that algae.. then I will go to 8 hours a day.

Ok so I at first was going to go for a reef setup, but after getting really frusterated because things died and algae took over my tank... :mad: ... I am thinking about maybe switching it up and going fish-only.. so then that brings up the question of what can I do now that I couldn't before...

haha thats how I pick up my haitan anemone I let him stick to my hand and then move him.

yeah I took it off of him, it looked like "purge" I am going to do a water test tomorrow and I need to do a 10% water change.. the coral seems to still be alive because he was soft and responsive when I touched him... I dunno my tank was so beautiful 2 days ago, now it looks terrible. :(

mine was very small.. maybe an inch across at the most... but I only paid 6$ for it.. so I dont care.

Ok so my tank has looked pretty "dead" the past day, there is hella algae on the windows, all the coral is really sucked in, my brain coral had my decorator crab just chillin on it for like a day, I didn't want to disturb "nature" so I left him be, well this morning I went to move the crab cuz I...

yeah this damsel was like hitler junior.. he would attack my clown fish, he would attack every fish in my tank.. including my blue tang :( He would attack my starfishes legs and the final straw was he nipped at my brand new brain and the brain's side sucked in after he did that.. and then the...

Well I did it.. I took out all 90lbs of my live rock.. this guy was soooo fast.. pretty much I pissed off everyone in my tank.. my tang is still hiding.. the water is clear now.. my one piece of coral looks pretty mad, my anemone looks normal.. I will do a water test next week and see what kind...

Will it mess up my tank to pull all the live rock? Will it have a lot of die off?

So I have a damsel in my tank, he attacks all my fish, nips at my starfish and nips at my coral... I need him out.. but I cant catch him with the net and I have 90lbs of live rock in a 60 gallon tank.... what do I do?

I have a 60 gallon tank with 90lbs of live rock in it, my tank is really long instead of being tall, so the live rock isnt really that half, goes up about half the tank but its thickly compressed, I have 2 stock heads in the uppper corners that shoot across but can be moved, I just got 2 new rio...

Originally posted by waterfaller1 Did you acclimate him before you placed him in your tank? yes and no.... I adjusted him to the tempature but I didn't adjust him to the Ph by putting water into his bag.. I never really got that approach.. and all the fish seem to be fine without it... but it...

I just bought a brain coral, when I got him in the store he was huge all spread out and open, and then when he went into the bag he closed up which is to be expected and when I dropped him into my tank he stayed the same sized closed up, he started to kinda shrivel up and he has been that was...

Originally posted by Jillian Ayers That Pscific Blue Tang may be small now, but he is going to get far too big for that tank. If you're planning on keeping him in there for life, then you're already overloaded. If not, then another fish would be feasible. HTH :) I got a really really tiny one...

Originally posted by krishj39 Well, you are getting close to the limit, but I think another fish would be fine. How about a 6-line wrasse? Cardinal fish? Needlenose flame? Maybe even a dwarf angel? Just a few possibilities. Will angels eat coral?
