Has anyone ever seen anything like this? There is this yellow stringy stuff coming out from underneath. Is it rotting?

Does anyone use this product? Seems pretty legit, I just prefer to slow the flow at night when the lights go down so the fish can relax better. Here's a link to a video with the SCWD (pronounced "squid"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=133tgPIyQ

I have a koralia wavemaker in my 55 gallon reef and the suction cups keep coming unstuck from the glass. This is about to drive me nuts! I'll come back to the aquarium with the wavemaker pointing straight down at the bare bottom and sand swirling everywhere and getting all over my corals. This...

I see. TY

I would have quite the mangrove swamp in that refugium! Are you using natural sunlight for this setup? I would! Just need some heavy duty chillers, which you probably would anyhow. Looks like it's gonna be the ultimate reef tank.

I bought these two ocellarus clowns over a year ago, and they seem to just keep getting darker. I have two tomato clowns in my other tank that keep getting darker too. I feed the ocellarus flake, but the tomato clowns get a variety (brine, mysis, finely chopped squid, mussels, shrimp, garlic...

Are they splitting or what?

Thanks guys (and ladies) for the help. I did a 20% water change and they seem to be responding well. I forgot that I used a red slime remover med and was required to do water changes following. But they were still acting this way before. I'm going to do another 20% change in a couple of days...

Notice the hole forming on the side shot of the coral. I don't know if it is splitting or melting!

First off, my tank (55 gallon) parameters are good: pH = 8.2 Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0 S.G. = 1.022 Good oxygen levels due to my wavemaker causing surface agitation and egg crate top for gas exchange, as well as 20 gallon refugium with a huge mass of cheatomorpha. My inhabitants...

I built a sump/refugium from a 10 gallon aquarium and have used this lighting for over a year now. My cheato goes nuts and so do the pods! http://www.melevsreef.com/fuge_bulb.html

Usually what is called "bleaching" is caused by lack of lighting in plants and corals alike. One time I spilled some grass seed in my garage, which is dark and dusty, and before long I was growing white grass! So I would try increasing your lighting wattage as well as lengthening your...

Would love some Xenias...

I live in the northwest suburbs, and am willing to come pick some up anytime. E-mail me at paulyd1978@yahoo.com

Nice! Thanks again!

Are you familiar with any type pf saltwater phytoplanton that the tisbe pods will enjoy? And which type of pods would you say are the most rapid reproducers? I want my refugiums as well as my displays crawling with the little buggers. Another question: Will ampipods rapidly devour my copepod...

Thank you much for your feedback, you've been very informative! My main objective here is to culture pods to seed my refugium and culture phyto to feed my water column, as well as the pods and other microfauna within my system.The pods will act as food for my mandarin dragonet, as well as other...

What I'm saying is: I want to feed them the phytoplankton, so when I split my phyto cultures next time, couldn't I just pour the bottle of pods that I receive into one of the (now) four bottles bubblin? Why would it crash the culture? Because they would eat it? That's what I want! I want them to...

It's Nanochloropsis, Japanese chlorella from Florida Aqua Farms. I was going to order the copepods from livecopeods.com, the bottle that comes with three different species would give me a little diversity. When they arrive, can I pitch them into the phyto? Will they reproduce? Can I culture them...
