Updated photo, I changed some of the coral around, I cant believe how good everything is doing. Amazing what happens when you actually take care of a tank instead of neglecting it ;) I got a little candy cane coral and a cleaner shrimp.

Tank is comming along nice. Briopsis is dying and I'm still tweezing it off. My fish is happy and my corals are getting happy. They are opening up more than they have in a long time.

Ahh, thanks. I should be getting my calibration solution soon. I don't dare do anything until I can test it accurately. thanks for all the help everyone

Stupid ?- how? Just by adding a little more salt at wc?

I had my water tested at LFS (not a dip strip) amonia, trates, trites and phosphates were all 0. PH was a little low and salinity was fine (1.02). But if I remember corectly the algae feeds off the phosphates so it's normal for that tobe 0. I have been doing water changes and got a new...

:(

I got all the hair algae/briopsis off my back wall today. Still a little cloudy. Every one is mad so I think I will let it be for a bit. I thought with all the moving things around my nitrates/nitrites might go up, but still 0.

Ohhhhh, I thought that fish ALWAYS had ick, and that when stressed, they can have "an outbreak ". That makes me feel better, and no, no fish ever with ick. Thanks guys

I have been doing a lot of work on my tank trying to get rid of an outbreak of hair algae and briopsis. I have been pulling coral out to tweeze the briopsis off the rock, I had to catch my clown today to work on the tank. My question is- could all this cause him to get stressed and get ick...

Okay, thanks

I made up 2 gal of water for a water change, I have a half gallon left. How long will that last?

I hope your fish is o kay

My new tank is on it's way :) It should be here Tuesday

What are the demensions? That is awesome.

If you get like a 29 gal jbj or the Bio cubes, they come with the lighting. Sounds like you just want softies, so the stock lighting would be fine. It also comes with it's own pump. Some people upgrade the pump. I have the 12 gal jbj nano cube and it comes with a 900, but I think I upgraded...

My tank now after a good vaccuming, water change, LOTS of tweezing and a peroxide dip.

Thank you Flower for looking into that, the link did not work. I did find some old posts from 2011 when the hair algae broke out, but I was looking for my original posts from 2005 when I first joined. I could have seen what I did way back then with pictures and everything. I feel like a...

Hi Flower, I appreciate all advice, so thank you for your input. I do know smaller tanks are harder to keep. In 2005 I did all my research BEFORE buying a tank, and though it was my first salt water tank, I went VERY slowly, listened to all the advise given here, kept reading and doing more...

When the briopsis got so bad, I started taking out the LR that didn't have coral, hoping I could get it under contoll better (less briopsis, easier to keep from spreading) I kept the rock, can I use it in my tank? It actually still has the briopsis on it, I have tried pulling it off with...

Thanks Bang guy. How come you use dead sand and not LS?
