    Will these two work together?

    I currently have a red lion (8") and picasso (3") together in a 135 and have been together for 2 years now. The picasso was added first. I have never had any problems. Goodluck.

    This is the end

    Do you think I should drop the 175 mh and just run the 4 vho and 2 no. I guess it can not hurt at this point. The vho bulbs were changed in march but will change again to see if it helps. Whta are the odds of anything recovering and if it is to late what corals like excessive lighting? Or should...

    This is the end

    I posted a few days ago under (IDEAS) because I have been watching everything die for over two weeks now. I can not find the problem. Without going into detail again all I can say is that nothing has changed in my tank and all readings are fine they have even been double checked. My coral beauty...

    This is the end

    The end is here my corals have finally finished dieing. Despite all of my efforts. The only thing to decide now is to keep the tank as a invert tank or move all the rock and inverts to my agressive tank and use this tank for my freshwater fry. I know I can not sacrifice any more corals for my...

    Agressive tanks: How do you address nitrates?

    I use live rock atleast 1.5 lbs per gallon and a refugium to control nitrates in my 135 agressive. They have never been above 30 so I have had pretty good luck along with a 10% water change per week.

    odd overflow problem

    Are the holes on your overflow box clear and free of excess coraline and do you use a prefilter on your overflow? I had the same problem and it was a dirty prefilter on my over flow. Goodluck and I hope you get it fixed.

    caulerpa do you plant that in the sand?

    It is a shame when you have to create extra nitrates. I have the same problem with my caulerpa and I do over feed slightly to help keep just enough nitrates to keep it going and my nitrates still test 0 every week. Even with my aggressive tank my refugium keeps my nitrates at 20 or less and I...

    Strange growth on caulerpa..

    Can you get a pic? If it's kelp, they have small pods full of air that grow on the stems as the stem gets longer. It helps to keep the branch upright. Their pretty cool but can be a pain if a piece breaks off and floats all over the tank. If it's caulerpa though I can't say for sure without...
