I am going to order a clean up crew in the next week or so. I think I will go with the snails and probably an urchin. I will step up the water changes too. Do you think that 20g is enough? Its a 75g tank with about 15g under the tank. If I do more than that a decent part of the lr is...

The hitchhiker I was talking about earlier looks like some kind of Chiton. That's my best guess and my pictures of it are worthless. I forgot to mention i have quite a few types of sponges on my lr. Most are the type below. I borrowed a picture from the hitchhiker thread, I hope that's alright.

I do biweekly water changes of 20g. I blow off the rocks with a turkey baster or lightly scrub with a brush before about 1/2 of those water changes. I feed 1 cube of frozen formula two or mysis shrimp every other day now (was every day before outbreak). I have noticed that there are about a...

I just started "brewing" the RODI for the water change. But I just wanted to clarify what you thought it was causing the outbreak. From what I've read the blue leg hermits are algae eaters, is this not true? I am going to beef up the cleanup crew soon. I also cut back the lighting to 4 hours...

It has been a while since my last post because I can normally find my answers from other posts. However I have a few questions about hair algae. I have had my tank up for almost 4 years now. I have added lr from other tanks in the local area and I believe I have about 100-125lbs in my 75g...

Is there anything I should do thats beyond the norm of monitoring nitrates, not having the lights on too long and using good water sources etc.? The only algae I have is Cheato.

You sir are a champion. Thanks for the id. From what I have been able to find its a beneficial macroalgae and thats what matters! Thanks again.

These green periscope like things popped up in an algae outbreak while I was out of town. I tried to get the best possible pic. I will try to get a better pic tonight when the lights go out. I can't find anything in the hitchiker archives that looks similar. They are stationary and there is a...

That's definitely what I would compare it too. They have a similar color as well. Brownish white.

Tonight after lights out I found what looked like some tiny bristleworms and what i hope are some of the good pods. Both of them moved extremely fast when I would shine light on them. Do these creatures move fast? I may have to break out the red light and get a better look at them.

Where in central Oklahoma? I live in Choctaw. I might be interested in getting 50lbs from you. Can you send pics to my email at chrislenhart1@cox.net?

Thanks for the input everyone. I will keep a very close eye on everyone in my reef tank and keep my fingers crossed. Maybe i will get lucky, but i doubt it.

I have 2 DTs and 1 QT tank. The DTs are 75g (reef) and 55g (FOWLR) QT is 20g. I just noticed my yellow tail damsel in the 55g tank was scratching and had visible white spots. I decided to hypo the entire tank, just a damsel and snowflake eel. I put the LR in the QT because i have never run...

How much LR do u have and how much do u want for it? I live in Choctaw and need some LR for my new 55 i am setting up.

I sent you an email

How much would do you want for the LR? I live in choctaw and could get it as soon as tomorrow.

What type of LS did you use?

So are you saying that if he buys the LS that comes in the bags (like the aragonite sand with bacteria) removes the CC and just puts the LS in his DT it will cause a cycle? I thought a cycle would only be caused if the LS or LR had some sort of die off which would not be the case if the sand is...

Thank you for your help.

Approximately how long after achieving 1.009 should the ich still be visible on the fish? It has been 24 hours and I can still see white spots.
