    Something in my tank is CRASHING!!!

    I will be interested to find out where my phosphates are at tomorrow... As far as light acclimation, I got the corals from tanks that had stronger MH lighting. Maybe my lights are not strong enough?? Most of them I put in after I got my new lights.

    Something in my tank is CRASHING!!!

    I have also recently decreased the amount of time the bulbs are on...and have been manually removing some algae. I think it may have helped a little...I guess I will just continue and be patient with the process. What could be the issue with my corals???

    Something in my tank is CRASHING!!!

    The bulbs are very new (I bought the lights...250watt pc's...about 2 months ago). I have not yet done a phosphate test. My mom has a kit and I will be doing that tomorrow.

    Something in my tank is CRASHING!!!

    Hello, I'm getting discouraged and could use some help troubleshooting an issue (or three) with my tank. I will first preface this by saying my fish and mobile inverts (crabs, shrimp, starfish, etc) seem to be doing GREAT in my 1 year old 55 gallon reef. The problems are (they may or may not be...

    Question about brittle stars

    I have 2 brittle stars, and I usually spot feed them freeze dried krill. I have a long toothpick-like skewer that I use to give it them. I just rehydrate the krill a little, and put it on the very end of the skewer so they can still get it off on their own. Mine are usually in hiding during...

    I got the coolest little fish!!

    Acclimation Procedure?

    No, do not put that water in your tank. Since what you took out was saltwater, you want to replace it with saltwater also. Set up the appropriate amount of water like you are doing a water change (correct specific gravity, heat, aerate...), and top your tank off with that! I usually count it...
