Okay. NO3 at 15-20 PO4 at 1 Cyno growing. GHA growing Film Algae growing. and Dino is growing on top of it all, like crazy. What gives. Large, new UV. Blowing off nightly. Black outs or waste away nada. Advice. It’s Ostreopsis

So I have no proof, but my old chromis and 3 filefish and one other azure damselfish have come up missing over the year. Think it was my damsel? They just disappear. If I add 5-6 chromis, should I ditch the exsisting damsel?

I’ve had it now 8 months. Sebae maybe, heck don’t even know anymore. Had one split. Doesn’t really get any bigger. Clowns play with it, but really, it’s small for them. I used to try to feed them, but the food just flows away. Mostly brine shrimp as too small for small fish. Thought of buying...

Curing a 30lbs of rock I bought from a guy who broke down a tank. 3/4 dry, some still moist with some live die off. Been curing for a few weeks. Had big ammonia bloom, did water changes and now for a week, tiny amount of ammonia. Trites and trates are 0. I plan to put in a 1yo 75 gallon with...

Found a deal on facebook ad. He had a few tanks he took down. Great dry rock and a couple large pieces with a tad of wet left on it. So I am now curing for the first time. I do have a 75 gal year old FOWL with some rock, I was just looking for bigger, better pieces to create a better and more...

Got a 75 gal. All is good. Very little maintenance. Really, I don’t do much. Two marine land 350s on back, a fan and UV sterilizer. Was just give some great fish. A flame angel, a coral beauty angel, a Hoeven wrass and a branded coral shrimp. All small maybe. 2” at most. Now what I already...

so, them frozen buggers are alive and well, hanging out on my over the back marine land filter on the blue felt stuff. Should I stop feeding my fish brine shrimp and keep cleaning filter? Or is this not nessisarily a bad thing?

So, all seems well. Rock becoming more live, still not much algae on glass. My fish seem okay. Water quality all good. But my sand is dirty, almost as if live rock is growing on it. To me it looks ugly. Do I clean the sand? Do I get a bigger CUC (just a few snails and crabs and a couple other...

Yeah, she's frustrated. I told her I was a noob. I torched both my urchins, both my shrimp, half the CUC along with most of my corline algae while trying to make my tank clear. So I now have 2 Marineland 350s and a corilife turbo twist 3x with a brand new bulb and 2 new powerheads on my 75 gal...

All seems well. All test well. Tiny bit of amonia and nitrates. Cleaned filters, cleaned glass. Still a tad cloudy, and looks like maybe some sand floating around. Not a huge deal, but not crystal clear like I'd love. I've got a 50!gal HOB filter and canister Filter. Both cleaned. 75gal.

Got a regular purple urchin. No problem. Small. Then a friend who's getting out of the salt world gave me a large California Sea urchin. It's big. Size of fist almost. Purple with long white spikes. Beautiful. Friend said it stings, but they all do, just use tongs to move out of the way...

okay, I feed maybe once a day now my two clowns, 2 damsels and 2 chromis. I have those disc flakes till I run out. They eat, but half of them sit on floor bottom. 3 Crabs poke at them some, peppermint shrimp don't bother(I assume they will die soon, yet to see them come out from hiding even at...

Since I'm a newb, don't mind the title. But getting smarter...I think. Okay, so here goes. Had the 55gal running for 2 1/2 weeks with live rock and dead rock. Marineland 350. Last Friday upped to the 75. Same filter but added more dead rock and a canister filter that was used for freshwater...

So, the 75 FOWLR is going. Two damsels, 3 hermits. That's it. Need to consider clean up crew, two clowns, and an anemone of some kind. Then go from there. As for clean up. Wife wants a shrimp and a pink urchin. But those are costly and may take a bit before we get. Rather have clowns first...

Yep, I have dabbled in to the saltwater world and creating a FOWLR system. Its a 55gal with 10lbs LR and 20 lbs not so live rock, and 50lbs of substrate. All was well Saturday after a cycle and bio juice put in. (Was told too much is never a problem). Tested water at home and LFS. Everything 0...
