Let me first start by admitting the fact that Im a fool. I have a healthy list of fish that have remained parasite free for months. Last weekend I purchased a small, nickle sized blue tang to my system without putting it into a QT. BIG stupid mistake. On tues I noticed the blue tang developing a...

Doh! It looks like I forgot to mention my corals. I have a few softies, one small frogspawn frag, and some Zoa's I've pulled the rocks before and scrubbed but a little over 3/4 of the tank is covered. It would be a "MASSIVE" undertaking plus there is no garuntee it would clear it all. My...

Im losing a battle to the carib algae from hell. Tank info: 75gal reefready 440 vho bulbs around 4 months old 15gal fuge with various macro algae's and a 3 inch SB lights run 24/7 in fuge and 10 hrs in display tank age: 5 months 100+lbs of mostly figi with a few pieces of carib 5-10 gallon water...

Im always worried about algae going sexual but more due to water chemistry issues. I run my fuge lights 24-7 and my display only runs 11 hrs on. I think Im going to stick with either green grape or chaeto. The feathery caulerpa seems to like to crash quite often so I'm going to avoid it. got a...

if you want them to grow fast...give them lots of bright light and high water quality. once they start...youll be amazed at how fast they propagate. I come home every day from work to find new polyps and noticeable growth from the day before

LOL found the correct name of the algae in question Dictyota Bad stuff

The main algae I am battling is the Dicytoa which could be considered a macro if not merely a nuisance. Its brown, grows in a blade form that splits into a Y. Its as bad if not worse than hair algae. If a piece of it touches anything it will eventually bond to it...including soft corals. Its...

Keep an eye on the floor. They are known to crawl out and are quite strong.

There is a star fish causing problems but I cant remember its name. Its like a giant chocolate chip star and muches on corals. A friend saw one in Jam. a few weeks ago on a tour. Thing was MASSIVE

I currently have multiple types of macros in my fuge. Feathery, red and green grape caulepra, spaghetti, and a short bristly calepra. Im trying to outcompete the macros that are running rampant in my display. the only one really causing a headache is dicytoa. its as bad if not worse than hair...

Search zoanthus and palythoa Basically zoanthus is a smaller version than palythoa or "button polyps". Zoanthus form more of a close together mat, the polyp remains smaller, and they dont have as long of a stalk. I rarely see good looking color morphs of button polyps and those look great. Is...

A few months ago I picked one of these up as a gift for my best friend. Other than having to get creative with spot feeding, its been quite easy to care for. He usually feeds them last, after the lights have shut down for a bit, to keep the fish from hijacking too much food. As far as tank...

Fish R us closes at 6:30...i think. It closes pretty early. Take I 45 north, pass the Woodlands, and you will take a right/east on 242. Head a few miles down the road and you will see it on your left wish I could make it up there and meet you but it looks like ill be working late

There are a few good places. Most are in houston. Global fish and pet in Sharpstown. The place in Houston to buy your Aragonite. Me and Synyster usually hit a store located near the Woodlands off of 242. its called Fish R Us. He gets his shipments on Mon or Tues. Mainly we hit them for deals...

The coco worm is a beautiful specimen...that is until you see what's lurking inside that tube. I've seen Synyster's and it looks killer. I hear they are a bit tricky to keep alive so we wish you luck and keep us updated on it.

"If you can grow Xenia that will also help a lot." Please explain:D

If you choose to drill your glass, keep in mind that it is very easy to crack it. If you have any fish stores close to you I recommend checking if they build reef ready systems. They may be able to do the drilling for you. Check if they have any custom build tanks in store to verify the quality...

found a pic with polyps open

Bump for advise from the experts

Here's another pic. They have it labeled as golden polyps. This particlular LFS is known to have corals misnamed.
