Ok if everyone agrees I need more light, then exactly how many watts do I need and of what spectrum? Are you saying I need MH for my refugium? Please clarify!

My chaeto that is dying is on the bottom of my fuge because it is about the size of my hand. It is getting plenty of nutrients, my phospahtes are at the top of the chart on my test kit (1-2) and my nitrates are high as well (50 ppm). So I dont know why it would be dying off. amonia=0...

I would say the flow rate is decent. I have a 125G megaflow w/2 1in drains rated fro 600gph each. My refugium is 60G and the chaeto gets fairly smooth water flow over it. How much light do I need? The nova that I have has (2) 24W bulbs 48W total (1 actinic & 1 10.000K) with the 10,000...

Yes I have a 24" Nova with a 6700k plant bulb made by coralife. I think it is 15W and I also have a 10,000K current bulb that is 24W. My LFS told me to remove the 24W actinic I had in there and replace it with the 6700k. Ever since I did that I seem to be having more problems with algae and...

Does anyone know why my macro algae would be dying. I just added my 60G refugium 2 month's ago and added a fist size piece of chaeto and a fist size piece of red caulerpa. I haven't seen any growth out of the Chaeto and the caulerpa is now half the size it was when I got it. I have been...

Does anyone have an ASM G2 Skimmer or familiar with one? Just wanted to know how well these perform and what people thought about them. Also the G2 is listed at 21 1/4 inches tall. I have 25 inches of clearance. Does this leave me enough room to remove the collection cup for cleaning?

Well it is definitely a wet foam. I clean the collection cup once and sometimes even twice a day. It is not dark at all, but about the color of urine. My remora is set up with the mag 3 pump and there is no adjusting it what so ever. The is no way to adjust the water flow or the amount of...

Well my remora pro is now 3 weeks old and is still putting out a ton of bubbles. I have read on here that it would go away after 3 weeks. Is there any truht to this? Also I have the collection cup adjusted so it is sitting as high as possible, but it is completely filling up to the top after...

Alright here is where I stand. Powder blue tang is in QT with copper treatment, and everything else is still in my DT. I have a FOWLR so there are no corals or inverts. I just got home from work and checked the tank the only thing I could see was one small dot on the tail of my picasso and...

I noticed yesterday my powder blue has ich, so I began setting up the QT. Today the ich is alot worse and now a few of my other fish have very minor signs of ich. My question is will I be able to Quarintine all 9 of my fish in a 29 gallon or will the amonia build to fast with all of the fish...

UV is now off and my skimmer is turned down as low as it will go. I am getting a ton of liquid. Is there a link between my UV being off and the skimmer removing so much? If so what should I do?

Well I did it anyway. I got the clown and he is doing great in my tank. The Picasso and Niger haven't messed with him one bit. And I was really surprised that my Powder blue tang left him alone also. So far everyone is getting along and there haven't beeen any quarrels while feeding them either.

How fast do they grow? Right now he is 2 inches. Am I going to have to get rid of him in a couple of months or will it be more than a year?

My tank is 125G FOWLR, it has been set-up for 6 years but I have owned it for 2 months. I transported it w/ 120lbs of live rock and about 9 fish from Chicago to St. Louis. Everything made the trip. I am running a wet/dry sump, prizm skimmer, and 2 JBJ powerheads (530gph each), and UV...

I have a 125G FOWLR and want to get a 2-3 in. clown trigger. I currently have a 2-3in. Picasso trigger and about a 1-2 in. Niger trigger. I also have a powder blue tang (King of the tank), yellow tang, dog face puffer, 2 small false clown's, and small elibi angel. All my fish get along except...

How do you go about starting coralline algae growth? I have a bunch of red slime algae and I am trying to start the production of some coarraline algae. So far I have gone through 3/4 a bottle of Purple-Up and have yet to see any coralline growth. Any suggestions as to what to do to help...

How exactly do you wash the sand to get all of the dust off? If you used a strainer the sand would fall through the holes. And I am not sure how you would do it in a bucket? Need some help.

The tank has been established for 6 years. I have owned it for 2 months. I transported a dog face puffer, 2 clownfish, picasso trigger, yellow tang, powder blue tang, harlequin tusk, and a hawk fish along with 120 lbs of live rock from Chicago to St. Louis. Thankfully everything survived the...

I have a 125G FOWLR and have crushed coral for my substrate. I have read on here that a lot of people prefer sand over crushed coral. What are the benefits of sand over CC? And how do I go about replacing the CC with sand? Won't I be removing all my beneficial bacteria when the crushed coral...
