    Ok..thank you. That's a relief. I was worried about the anemones. Now I can relax.

    Lights off for 24 hrs?

    I have to take an unplanned trip out of town today. I will be gone overnight. I have found that my timer that I had (I didn't have it hooked up before today) is not functioning. Is it safe to leave my lights off, leaving only the moon lights on for 24 hours? I don't really have anyone I could...

You can clearly see there is some death goin' on in that bag. (erm..there's stringy stuff one the one end) Here's my quandry..do I call the place I...

    sawleaf calpura

    Back when I first started my tank out, my LFS sold me a piece of LR that had some plant growth on it. According to them..this was a desirable item for your tank. Being a newbie at the saltwater hobby..I believed..hook, line and sinker. It turned out to be sawleaf calpura. It is a nightmare. I am...

    powerheads

    LOL...good question. I've been doing a lot of reading about corals needing water flow in the tank. I have a corner flow tank..so I'm not really concerned about the one side of the tank's flow rate, as the water seems to move along fairly well on that side, but on the opposite end, it doesn't...

    Water change dilemma..

    I have a 75 gallon with 120 lbs of LR. I have a few mushrooms and soft corals, and a decent sized clean up crew. I have a pair of clowns and a lawnmower blenny in there as well. My tank is a few months old now. I had a coral beauty angel that died in the tank. The problem is, with all of the...

    Cyano and adding a powerhead

    I have a 75 gallon tank that is a few months old, that is going through a bad outbreak of cyano. I have been thinking about increasing the waterflow, by adding a powerhead (reducing the light won't work, since I have a couple corals in there) Are there powerheads available that do not require...

    cycle question

    I had some rock in my tank, which had not cycled. I added addtional rock, and the nitrates skyrocketed a day or two after the new stuff was added. Now, I'm wondering...once they go back down, will my tank be cycled? Or will that 2nd batch of rock have to cycle again?

    Cleaning Crew

    My 75g is starting to get some green algae. It is currently still cycling, so I'm not sure if it is ok to add more of a cleaning crew to the tank yet or not. Currently I have 2 turbo snails, and a couple crabs. Could someone give me some good recommendations as to how much of a cleaning crew I...

    New LR during cycle?

    I have a 75 gallon that I have just set up. I had approximately 60 lbs of LR in it (which I have had for a couple weeks). I had checked the water levels a couple days ago, and it had not shown any signs of cycling yet. Today my order arrived with another 60 lbs of LR. I cleaned it off, and put...
