Hey there people. Ive got a major issue with my tank. In the last 3 weeks all the live rock, and substrate, has been completely covered in various alages. Red SLime, green slime, brown slime, hair algaes. I've tested my water, and it seems fine. I've done 2 water changes, and have gotten...

Hey there reef fanatics. Its been awhile since Ive been here. In the last few months Ive lost interest in my 60 gallon reef tank. Im thinking of either selling it or converting to FO. First: Its a 60 Gallon Plexyglass tank w/ built in sump. On a Custom built stand. 50lbs of LR rock. And PC...

I've had my tank setup for about 8-9 months now, and have yet to get purple coraline growing. Granted it grows on my Pheads, and USED to grow on my thermameter (SPL?), also got a few spots on the back and sides (No bigger than a Skittle). Well now it pretty much gone, but replaced w/ green...

Use the inverted plastic bottle idea. Maxx

Dry goods are good when buying actual fish, honestly its depressing on how horribly they treat those beautiful fish. My *****, always has dead fish in there tanks If there not dead, they're going to die. The holding tanks are disgusting 24/7. I would never buy a fish or other saltwater critter...

Hey, iuts been a while since I was last on. I have 3 big questions to ask: First: MY prized ROyal Gramma is getting infected w/ ICK daily. what do I mean? I turn on the lights in the morning before I go to sleep (yes I work graveyard) Royal Gramma has no ICK. When I go to work I turn the lights...

Ive had mine in my room since I started this little adventure. No complaints here. I dont run a skimmer. I can also keep tabs on it at all times since I livw most of my life in my room.It does wake me up in the middle of the night to be topped off though. Also it gets my girlfriend "in the mood"...

I thank you all for the help. I came home from work and the gramma was free of all ick symptoms. I do see my CB shrimp cleaning my tank, do they clean parasites of of fellow tank mates?? Maxx

Thanks for the help, I will go buy a cleaner shrimp as soon as I get paid. Ive always wanted one anyways. Thanks again. Maxx

Ok my new fish, which happens to be a royal gramma (my personal reef tank favorite fish), possibly has ick!. He currently has around 10 white dots on him, and his tail fin looks to be ripped apart in a few places. What do I do?? I currently have a Yellow Tang, which aperently is an ick magnet...

I would just like to add a late reply. Mandarins, eat copodes, take a look behind the powerhead. I bet 5 bucks you'll see copodes hanging out behind. My theory, is that thers little circulation behind the P.Heads. Which makes a good hangout for a Manarins' meal. Just my take on the subject. Maxx

They can survive off of brine like usual fish, but will crap alot. Other than that there safe for a tank. This is what Ive heard numerous times via my LFS. If your worried about them eating your inverts, get a Dwarf Lion. Good Luck. Remeber dont shoot the messanger. :) Maxx

Try again, but what 5 minutes before comparing colors. I had the same porblem w/ my kit. Maxx

I'd go ahead and add another Powerhead. The 300s are nice cause you can adjust the current. So yeah I'd get another one. Maxx

im sitting here watching my reef life. All of a sudden I notice one of my emerald crabs shaking weird. Then all of a sudden little eggs floated from its chest. Its the coolest thing Ive seen happen ion my tank!! To bad my tomato clown was watching and eating the whole thing. I turned off my...

About Acrylic or Glass: Glass wont scratch when your LR rubs against it, Acrylic will. Acrylic is WAAAAYYYY lighter than glass (I can carry my 60 gallon w/ one arm). It all depends on what you want. Maxx

I'll look into that iodine idea. Thanks

Cleaner Shrimp and Coral Baned shrimp DO get along. Some invert packages here on SWF.com offer both in the same package. I honestly dont think SWF.com is out to screw anybody.

How long do you think it would take? He's my favorite thing in the tank. Thanks Maxx

My LFS always recomends this to me. He says "its the best thing you can do for your tank" Planning on getting some. Has anyone used this before?? If so how did it work for you.I am currently using Kent Calcium, and Kent Coral Vite, but plan on ditching when I get the B-Ionic. Thanks Maxx BTW 60...
