Hi guys - Please Help! We have a 48 gal tank with crushed coral, fish only, 2 damsals, tomato clown,and a blowfish from our bay. Our water levels have always tested perfect and we are good at water changes, 10% every 2-3 weeks. However, I seem to have a bad alge problem, red and green, seems...

I don't think thats a bad question, I have a clown fish that makes a squeeking sound when he is having an argument with my striped damsel! It almost sounds like a squirrel. I would like to know if anyone else has heard noises...

We have a 48 gal FO tank with CC about 1 year old. We do a 20% water change once a month and our fish look great. Our levels of ammonia, nit and nitrie are 0 and salinity is 1.023. However, every week I am in the tank scrubbing off the green algae from the inside of the glass. Should I...

We have a 9 month old 48 gal tank, fish only, crushed coral substrate. We still have the 2 damsels(about 2" each) we cycled the tank with as well as a northern puffer (about 3")we caught at the beach. My lfs said to get rid of these fish if I wanted to add anything else. Is he right or just...

I want to thank you guys for recommending the water polisher! Wow within 24 hours I went from not being able to see 1.5 feet to crystal clear! At this point we don't have any type of clean up crew but we are looking. I am thinking of adding live rock. What are the pitfalls? Thanks again!

Thanks for answering guys. I do not have a protein skimmer and have never used my polisher. My base is crushed coral and I change my filter media once a month when I do regular water changes. As far as salinity, is 1.020 that different from 1.021? When I say cloudy, think of milky, almost the...

Hi guys - I was wondering how to get rid of an alge bloom. I have pulled out my "fake" plants hoping to give the alge a place to grow. It only takes 2-3 days and the inside of the tank begins to get "dirty" again. Even after a water change, it still looks cloudy. My temp is about 77. I...

Hi Guys -- I'm so proud, we did our first water change and no one got hurt! Our local store suggested we switch from the charcol to another product, chem pure I think. After this first water change and change in filter we seem to get this rusty scum that floats on top of the water. The fish...
