    latest tank incarnation 40b

    What do you mean? it works, it's an awesome breeding ground for pods, and considering the size of my Sump v dt it's a viable option that's super low maintenance, unlike a turf scrubber which require frequent maintenance but is another great option. about the only thing I would change if I...

    Seed Bacteria

    Seed Bacteria

    just put your media in your filter, the media isn't going to make a difference at all to the bacteria.

    White fuzz on base of duncan anyone know what it could be

    I wish we had a clearer picture, because guess what this is is my favorite game. unfortunately due to clarity we can only spitball guesses and not even good guesses (and yes I understand it's generally very difficult to get a good photo of what you want) but guessing based on general shape and...

    Saving sand

    I have re-use sand many times, I always wash it really well before storage, then dry it out. that said you will experience a burst of ammonia at start up because that bacteria on and in the sand dies and is left as dead bio-film on the sand, plus any phosphates will remain in the sand, and lots...

    Bristle worms question

    Can someone please help identify this red algea

    100% correct statements above, it is cyanobacteria. there are several commercial treatments available but primary to treating to kill the cyano is reconsidering nutrient export or flow parameters to prevent its recurrence.

    Cant remember the name of this coral

    Alveopora Spongiosa, the primary way to tell the difference between an alveopora and a goniopra is the tentacle count.

    Little polyp eating B@$!!!!!

    no they don't eat polyps. They may be scavenging dead tissue off corals that are already receding for other reasons, though this in fact is a beneficial behavior. By removing necrotic tissue they are decreasing the chance of the rotting flesh causing further infection of the colony I would look...
