lol snakeblitz33, It would be fun reaching to the bottom of a tank so tall >.<

If you do happen to find them I would love to take a look at them 1guyDude.

I was curious as to how possible it is to have too much light for corals? My tank is 30gallons (30"w x 12 1/2"d x 18"H) and my metal halide is a 250W HQI Bulb type fixture. I felt before as if the light was pretty intense towards corals but it may have been something else in hindsight. It is...

haha a zoa lover ey? Nice they are one of my favorites but everytime I would get them pest algaes would come right around the same time... My new lunar eclipses are doing better then I've expected this time though. You have a thread with some pictures of your tank? I would love to check it out.

Off Topic by the way 1guyDude, is that an avatar picture of some of your Zoas?

I can see that being true as that is its job. Perhaps the thorough rinsing which usually includes it sitting in a bowl of water overnight allows for this to prematurely release? My father used the same method for his cichlids which if you read my profile will show you how well he truly raised...

I have never had a problem with reusing it and I do tend to rinse/wash very thoroughly as well. May or may not have anything to do with it but even when I wash my hands I run them under water for about five minutes if I know I will reach into my tank lol. Either way I do know for a fact it was...

Thank you flower for your informative response. I was aware of chemical warfare but not the whole extent of it. Because of your post I actually took a large bag of carbon out of my nanocube pod tank, rinsed it and added it to my aquaclear just now. I do love how well carbon does work for pulling...

Thank you Snake for another reply as well as thank you to 1guyDude for your response. I will look into purchasing one of those overflows although I may still try out my diy since I did spend the money and have it completely built. The powerhead you mentioned seems to be perfect and finding one...

Thank you Snakeblitz33!for the response and the welcome back! Been too long since I have posted. Sandbed is a mix of crushed coral and premium white sand. My problem with my protein skimmer was I had taken it out and could not find it after moving the tank a while ago.I found it in the garage...

please excuse me, after re-reading this at work, salinity is 1.023 not 1.23 >.< . My mistake.

Forgot to mention that it has been ages since a red-slime invasion and that any of the red you see is a softer velvety type of algae? Also, I have a bunch of asterina stars which have been helping take care of any other algae and have never had a problem with them eating corals ( if they...

Hello everyone, and thank you for reading my post. I am a long time reef tank owner here and as of late it has started to show decline. The tank first of all is 30gal 30"W/ 12 1/2" D/ 18" H. I tend to purchase coral frags from a LFS and over time have had some lovely colonies at some points. My...

anybody else ever had an issue getting their clowns to breed after this long?

I use a 250watt hqi mh that is hung about 18 inches above the tank (hung in the middle, very very slightly tilted to the back of the tank). The clowns have been together for roughly 4+ years. Also the one thing that bugs me about the glass reflection is it will reflect whether I use the light in...

I've had my 30gal Reef Tank for about 4 years now. I have been trying to get a pair of clowns to breed which they seem to want to do near the front of my tank. I have seen them dart near each other which for the longest time I couldn't understand the aggression they showed. The more I watch the...

Where exactly should i try to place the pumps?

I was wondering how I can go about setting up pumps to create a good enough amount of current for an acropora. I read that the current needs to be strong but indirect. How should i go about setting up pumps to do so. If you have specific types of pumps that you use to do so feel free to mention...
