Well the tank isn't going anywhere for awhile and I want to paint the bedroom & I cant move it. I don't think there would be any problems but I wanted to get a few opinions. Im just gonna cover it with a tarp and probably keep the lights off for the day because my T-5 fixture needs to push all...

Its a type of plant and so it uses photosynthesis as such.

Use a hammer, smash it in a washtub. Wear gloves if your touching it, you dont wanna get stung by anything. Ive done it plenty of times.

How long were the two maroons together? Possibly the one was frightened from the other erratic behavior and chose to strike before struck itself was attacked.

When I had to get two out of my tank, I shut all the light off in the room including the tank lights for a few hours. Remove the top, get your net ready. BAM turn everything on in the room Full Blast + The tank lights on Full, sent the 2 damsels into shock immediatly and I just scooped them...

I wouldnt go any longer than every other week, I started trying to go longer without changes and had a nitrate buildup that took many water changes to get back down to where I wanted it.

i usually just try to keep the sides & the front clean, its quite a pain to get to scrape off the back wall around all the rock.

Yep great start, I would try to get some more rock in there and stack it a little bit so the fish have a place to go underneath like a cave.

I dont think those stars are a problem I have tons of them, harmless they are. Your calcium is high so I would rule that out and you replaced your bulbs so its not low wattage thats doing it, hmm... Have any limpets? I have a bunch here n there that eat my coraline on the walls.

Wow very nice, ill be keeping tabs on this.

And that means im going from a 55 to a 90 REEF Well my 55 has about 10 corals and 4 fish a bunch of inverts and has probably close to 70lbs of LR im wondering how to go about the move? The 55 is setup in a place where it will be able to remain functional until the 90 is ready to switch...

Thanks for the ideas everyone, ill give it a try.

Ok so its about 90 Degress today and the tank temperature is about 87 degrees... Im gonna cut the lights early until this heat wave passes. Is there anything else I can do to lower the temp? A/C is not an option right now. What about a small bag of ice in a zip lock bag? Not enough to...

Well I recently replaced my bulbs for my T-5 Fixture and now im definitely noticing growth of algae of all kinds. I had a few patches of bubbles here n there but now it seems to be growing out of control. I have 2 emerald crabs that pick at it but its growing faster than they can eat it. Ive...
