Its been a while since I posted any pics. The tank is about 5 months old. I'm still trying to battle a red slime problem, but its getting better. Tell me what you think.

It is a 29 biocube with stock return pump, and I added a Koralia 2 a few weeks ago.I have always used RO water, but I get it from the LFS so it might not be the best. I only feed every two days and just enough flakes for my two fish to eat. I have tested for phosphates and they were zero, but...

I have been battling a red slime algae problem for weeks. I have done numerous water changes, added more flow and added more clean up crew. I remove the algae and 24 hours later it is back. I have heard that if you leave the lights off for 72 hours it will help stop algae. My question is whether...

My clown goby has been doing fine for 3 months, but recently he stopped eating. I have tried flakes, mysis, and cyclopeeze. He will eat all three, but then spit it back out. He looks awful and looks like he may not have too much time left. Is there anything I can do to help him. All other life...

I have been buying my saltwater from my lfs premixed, but now am going to start mixing my own. I was told that mixing seachem reef salt with instant ocean would be the best. Does anyone have any input on what kind of salt I should buy. Thanks

I was looking into getting a pair of clownfish, but haven't decided which kind yet. I was told that different kinds will more likely host than others. Is this true, and if so which ones are more likely to host? Thanks

I talked to the lfs and they said they would take it back. Any ideas on how to catch it?

I just got a yellow headed sleeper goby from my lfs. I know I should of done more research but the guy there seemed like he knew what he was talking about. He told me that it would be fine in my 29 biocube, but now I am finding different info online. Some say it will be ok and others say it...

You should also check out petland in alpharetta. They have tons of $20 frags that are much bigger than any frags I have ever seen and some bigger than full size corals at other places.

Can Ricordia mushrooms be placed on sand? I have a biocube with stock lighting. Will enough light reach the mushroom on the sand? Thanks.

I have recently started to see a lot of tiny snails on the glass of my tank. I am not sure whether they are pyramid or possibly baby snails. I have astreas, nassarius, and ceriths in my tank now. If they are pyramids and I don't have any clams, will they eventually die off or will they live by...

I have a frogspawn and a small frag of torch coral that have both lost a good bit of color since I have gotten them. They are now both the same shade of purple with slightly brighter tips. I was wandering if there are any supplements that would enhance the color. I have them under PC lights now...

This exact same thing happened to my tank last night and I can't figure out what it is. Did you ever find out what it was? I wasn't able to get a good look at the critter, but I did see something moving in the hole. The rock also has several other similiar holes. Anyone know what this is? Thanks

I just removed the bioballs from the 2nd compartment in my biocube and replaced with live rock. I put live rock in untill it was no longer being covered with water. My question is in order to get rid of some of the waterfall sound I placed bioballs on top of the liverock and then put the drip...

Once I set up the qt and put the bacteria in it do I have to let it cycle or anything like that.

I have a 29g biocube with 30 pounds of live rock and 20 pounds of live sand. It has been set up for about a month and half. I have 11 hermits, 8 snails and an emerald crab. I also have a small xenia frag. I have had a clownfish for about two weeks and he was doing fine. Last week I added a royal...

Are there any suplements I can get to give it a better chance? Thanks

I got this torch frag for free. It has been in my tank for a week. The place I got it from said the skeleton had been cracked. Do you think there is any chance it will survive. It looks ok, the tentacles that are on it are inflated. Is there anything I can do to give it a better chance. Thanks

I don't know how long the lfs had the fish. The fish seemed a little stressed in my tank, but the day that it died it seemed like it had finally settled in and was eating. I know I could take the tank apart, but the rock is a bunch of smaller pieces and I rather not have to take it all apart.
