In my tank I have realized that if I have sps in the line of flow it will build a brown algae and kill the coral. I just again saw that a tip of my blue stag was in the line of my power head and it began to get brown in that area. Is that because the flow is too hard and the coral dies and...

How do you take tank shots without the picture looking completely purple? when I take pics it looks totally purple

I wanna make a piece of rock for my reef that has been up and running for a few years. I know they say use Portland type 1 or 3. I was wondering if I could use "rapid set" cement all? It does not say the type but the guy at Home Depot stated the only difference is it dries quicker. Anyone...

I fed my tank with Marine Snow and forgot to refrigerate it after opening. I left it out for approximately 5 hours. It was already refrigerated prior to use because I just opened it a few days ago. The temp in my house was about 64-65 degrees. You think it will be ok to use again? Its a...

Will Mardel coppersafe treat this? Its the only thing I have right now. I know Maracyn-2 is best but Im not sure if I can get it right away. Brown blotches on him and losing color. And on top of this I gotta try to catch him to put in hospital....UGHHH. How did this happen, he was SO healthy!!

Ok, quick senario of what happened. Ordered a huge plate online arrived DOA. Threw the skeleton in my live rock tank, which is connected to my entire system, and forgot about it for 2 months. Tonight I went downstairs to check a few things and saw what looked like a HUGE jelly fish in the LR...

Anyone around from North Jersey

My tank is a mixed reef but I hope to make it more of a SPS tank going forward. I have a calcium reactor and was wondering what salt you guys like. I hear a lot of good things about Reef crystals and Tropic Marin (which I used to use years ago) So what ya guys think?

I have LED's and my AI timer basically can do anything and everything. What you guys do?

SOOO, tearing down my tank to try to get a fish out and I come across two things. One of them I HAVE NO IDEA it is. It looks like a snail but with no shell, almost clear with tan spec on it. Ill try to get a pic but its gonna be hard to focus on it

I tried this stuff numerous times and it just doesn't work for me, EVER. Whats up with that?

Ok so screwing around with my ProCal to get it just right. The problem I am having is my calcium level. My PH is always around 8.1 and my DKH is around 9.9-10. My calcium is always a little low. Around 360-380. I have doses Turbo calcium by Kent and works great, but the whole point of the...

OK so I understand he wants it to host it but come on. Is it going to kill the clam? He irritated the shiz out of a bubble tip which I eventually moved out because it was unhappy with the clown constantly harassing it. Any suggestions?

I have a question regarding it. The plunger they supply to screw into titration is different than the one they show in the instructions. The plunger they show in the instructions is a flat bottom plunger and the say to pull the liquid until the bottom of this flat plunger is at 1.0. The...

I have been using Brightwell Aquatics Neo Marine. I think Im gonna switch because my PH is only around 8, can't get it to 8.4 and my calcium is always little low, around high 3's. Think this a good enough reason? I have a calcium reactor but im thinking I should get a salt closer to those...

OK so I know Im going to get some Shizz for this but it appears that when I run GFO my coral in my tank begins to die off. When I run GFO through my reactor I am beginning to see coral of all different types recead from one end to the other, specifically ACANS. DO you think this is possible...

I see these checkers for almost everything. Are they accurate, reliable, and exact? I see they are not that expensive and far cheaper than buying test kits ever year. Are these test kits good? Please reply. What are the cons if any?

So here is my case. I don't know what the deal is but my coral just doesn't thrive in my tank. Its a great set up with amazing flow, equipment, large refuge, live rock tank and anything else you could imagine. Only coral that really seems to be taking off is a Monti and a clam that is growing...

I bought this guy on Thursday acclimated it for over two hours and put it in my tank. It seemed happy and curious. I noticed it hid for a few hours then would come out. Then it suddenly disappeared and I haven't seen it since Saturday morning. Is this odd? I heard these fish swim around a...
