I have had a hair algae problem recently that some large water changes, reduced lighting and some scrubbing have helped remove. I do have some rock with green algae growing that looks "puffy" like cotton. I have 0 nitrates and 0 phos. My PH is at 8.1 and DKH is around 11, my calc is a little low...

Hey Jon... How about a recipe for that homemade frozen coral treat..

While rearranging some LR, I dropped a small rock on my 6" Tridacna clam. He closed instantly, after about 10 minutes he opened up again, but there is a spot about 1" long that stays a little below the edge of the shell, the rest of the clam hangs over the outside edge. Anything I should do?? I...

My tank is over 2 years old now and I noticed this last summer too. Just wondering if any one else had same problem

I have a 75g in a finished basement, there is no central air, or even much air movement since the basement windows are so small. The room is cool, but very humid. I have noticed considerably more algae on front glass that needs to be cleaned with my magnet cleaner now than in the winter time. I...

I just added a refugium in a 30 gal sump with 4 inches of southdown to start the DSB. It too was zero visibility. I ran an Eheim canister filter filled with floss in the refug and it cleared in 24 hrs, but the floss was filled with the fine sand powder. Can you get some floss into your overflow...
