    Zoas

    I have some that are low, some in the middle and some up high, right below the water. They were doing so good that that is how much they spread but now.... They all look the same. Not one of them is open. I just don't know what to do. I change water, seems it has to be in the water but what?

    Zoas

    I had them all in a 55, moved everything over to a 120 but did change from the led lights to t5. That was in June, around February, roughly, they started closing. So put the LEDs back on, and still nothing. They just won't open up.

    Peroxide

    I do have macro algae, quite a bit in the sump, just did stir up the sand since my gobies have disappeared, well the new ones that is, I was worried about stirring sand though, that is acceptable. It will not hurt the bacteria in it or create a nitrate release? I do only feed every other day...

    Peroxide

    It is mixed, but mainly soft corals. Reading another post about diatoms and red slime, and my problem sounds more like cyano now.

    Peroxide

    My next question was going to be that. How long can I go with out the lights with out causing a problem? I do have corals and don't want to damage them.

    Peroxide

    I had a 55 gal, had it for ten plus years, acquired a 120 and transferred everything over to the 120. Added of course, more sand and more rocks. That was in June. Could not get my nitrates to drop. Was a very deep deep red. Everything looked good though, but went and bought the aquripure nitrate...

    Peroxide

    Wondering if anyone has ever dosed peroxide in their reef aquarium. I have been reading online, that people have used 1 ml to every gallon of tank water, to rid their aquarium of nasty algae. I have diatoms, can't seem to rid myself of them, and really would like a way to see them go bye bye...

    Alkalinity

    I have snails, hermit crabs, and lots of those pesty star fish, two sea urchins and a large emerald crab. Unfortunately, can't tell how many snails or crabs, seems that they have disappeared. I do see some but not the quantity that I have purchased. I feed them mysis shrimp, pour a small amount...

    Alkalinity

    Tested my alkalinity today for first time. It was at 8.6. Is this good or where should it be? I have a 120 reef. Have problems with diatoms and now my zoos won't open up. Everything else is at 0 including phosphates. I have been using or water and still have a diatom problem. Only feed every...
