Please, i need help asap, my tank seems to be getting wayyyy worse now, some of my coral is practically dead i think, do you guys think i should just remove it out of the tank? I have a lot of green hair algae on the sandbed . I have changed the lighting and added a korilia 250. Here's a few...

Sweet, thank you. That's what he told me, said they're great bulbs, more expensive than the ati, but he sold me them for the same price cause he had no ati bulbs

Are you saying that the kz super blues aren't good like the ati blue plus? I didn't order these from my local store. I ordered them online, same place I ordered for before. The guy told me that the kz bulbs are better and that they have great par. I went less blue I think this time since I...

weird, no sure why i didn't get a notice in my mailbox that someone replied. As for the corals opening at night, they do sometimes, i sometimes see their tenticals come out to eat. They're not dead, but they're definitely not happy, could it maybe be from my lights being no more good? i...

Yea, i understand that, but my coral used to always open up during the day. They don't anymore. This is really weird :(

I just placed an order for new bulbs. i changed it up a bit, instead of going with the kz gen, i went with the ati 12000k aquablue special. The tank should be less blue i believe. I also ordered a koralia nano 240gph powerhead and a octopus titanium grounding probe. I hope this helps

Thanks, i'm not saying to have someone come and do everything for me. Just someone to physically look at the tank, and give me advice. I just took another look at my tank, the lights will be coming on in 13 mins, and it looks like the long tenticle plate coral knows that and is shriveled up...

Thanks a lot for that tip, that makes a lot of sense, but the thing is, i don't know how much flow i need in certain areas, and i find it a lil difficult, cause you'll set up one pump perfectly, and as soon as you play with the other, everything changes. I really need someone that knows...

Thanks for the reply, i'll have to look into it. I don't even know if i have the room for that setup. My stand is useless and it's a bowfront in a corner. I really need to make a new stand. I took a look at my tank this morning, and the long tentical plate coral, is very open this morning...

ah ok, so a phosphate reactor works just like a protein skimmer? not saying that the reactor just skims the top, i understand that's what a skimmer does, but the setup is sort of the same?? thanks. What brand of reactor would you recommend? my tank is a 46g bowfront.

I actually don't spot feed the corals, I just feed the tank, and the corals usually pick up the stuff floating around. I was told that the corals I have don't really need to be spot fed, I understand that it helps with growth, but the coral was doing perfectly fine for a while. Does the...

here's a picture of what the tank looked like a cpl weeks ago

Wow, this is getting crazy, i'm struggling to upload the video, so now i'm just gonna upload pictures. I need a better cam though, the pictures suck. The video looked a lot better. First pic is the tank "sorry for all the blue, it doesn't look so blue in person. Second pic, is the green...

oh wow, just tried to upload the video to youtube, and it's saying that it's gonna take 200 minutes to upload. Thanks crazy. i can't seem to upload it on photobucket.

I will take some pictures in about an hr or so, all my lights will be on in 10 mins, i'm gonna give everything a chance to open open as much as they can, and i'll show some pictures, i'll even try and put up a vid. I've done some tests again today, and everything seems great, the alk and...

Umm, it's not the coraline that i'm talking about, that looks beautiful and is going strong because i have the perfect alkalinity and calcium. But the stuff i'm talking about, is like a short hair carpet. As for stray voltage, how exactly do i test that? i'm not sure what tester to use. My...

there's lots of shells in there for them. there's just something going on with the tank that i can't figure out. Everything seems to be hiding. I did another water change last night. I'm gonna see how things are today once the lights turn on. I really hope things get better. I tried to...

Thanks flower for that, it seems like most of my snails are hiding in the lower part of the tank behind my rocks, my shimps seem to be fine, and my crabs seem to be dying, i can only see two of them. nova- i don't have a glass lid on the tank, it is open.

Thanks for the reply. What is a CUC? And i'm using good RO water. I've bought the RODI unit from BRS. I'm using Instant Ocean salt which i've tested and get perfect results.
