sounds like red slime algae...however you will need to provide more details. do you have pics?
How long has the tank been set up?
are you using RO/DI h20 to do top offs?
how much flow is i your tank?
What are your perameters?
hi,
i need some help! all of my coral (zoos, polyps, shrooms, etc.) are doing great. but my finger leather is acting weird. one day it opens very pretty and big, then the next night it stays shriveled up? is this normal?
I had it about a year ago and have never had it again. This is what i did.
To get rid of it follow these simple steps:
1. Make sure you are using RO water when conducting topp offs
2. Increase flow within the tank
3. do 10-15% water change weekly.
4. If phosphates are high...run some...
I need to replace my power compact lights. Theya re a year old. My question is do i do it one light at a time? or can i do both at the same time. and if it is one at a time should i do the blue or white one first?
Thanks
the directions on de*nitrate say 'Flow rate should not exceed 200 L (50 gallons*) per hour. If higher flow rates are unavoidable, use Matrixª or Pond Matrixª.
My flow rate is 700 gph. Does this mean i cannot use it?
My gold headed sleeper Goby is acting funny. He is beating himself against some rock. He did this about 5 times, and now he is hiding for the last hour.
My Blue tang looks like she is fighting with her reflection. these fish have been in my tank for over two years...any thoughts?

what is rowa?
what is seachem de*nitrate?
A cleaner shrimp should set up a celaning station and clean parasites of off most fosh, but it will not solve your ick problems. It will help the problem bit not solve it.
A cleaner shrimp will not help with Cyano. YOu might want to inccrease your flow and do some h20 chanes for the cyano...
