sundial snails are bad and they will eat your polyps. They are black and white.

funny you put a thread up on this b/c i am experiencing the same thing. I have the api test kit and I add it drop by drop but I always have hgih ca levels no matter when i test it and no matter how long it has been since i added ca to my tank. I add an all in one supplement on mondays and add...

I think bio balls are trouble. I know several people that have had trouble with them including myself. My LFS has $60K in their 400g tank in the store and they said the only equipment they have is a protein skimmer. It is called the berlin method using lots of live sand and live rock. I...

ich stays in the tank for quite some time. dont add any more fish for a while. even if the black one over comes it. It will still be in your tank and any fish you add will prob. get it. i would wait at least 6 weeks after it is not on any fish. Don't know for sure but it sounds like your lfs...

then the lfs sold you a clown that had ich. the orange clown gave it to your black one b/c ich spreads. ich is white spots. it looks like they have table salt on them. do a water change and hope for the best. hopefully he can over come it.

Imo i don't think high ca would do that. it would just precipitate out of the water. It has to be something else. If the temp is good and the parameters are ok then it could be another fish stressing it out. You said you have a black clown also? I dont think it is a good idea to have 2...

it is two tangs. i know. my buddy ordered 3 fish off of saltwater fish .com They needless to say came in very much smaller then he expected. He was going to put them in his predator tank. He put the biggest of the fish from his order in his tank and his eel ate it. It was my tank or down the...

white spots is ich. He was stressed from something probably. Is the temp. good in the tank? Is another fish bothering him?

what is at the bottom?

i have frogspawn, fox, torch, brain, disk, xenia, polyps, pearl, candy cane, and a BTA. I have it all under the nanotuners 4.36 kit with the loud fans. But the bioballs do create some nitrate problems. I would take them out and put in live rock rubble. I think the berlin method is the best...

i got the nanotuner 144w upgrade and my fans are a lot louder than the stock fans. It is a great upgrade kit though.

throw the bio balls away. They can produce nitrates. Mine did and I slowly took them out and nitrates vanished. That was the only parameter to give me trouble in my cube.

plz send the thread to me too

30# should be good. I have 28 in my 29g biocube

i use salifert all in one reef and salifert calcium. I use kent for iodine. the all in one has ca but i add more when i need it. it just depends when to add calcium. i have a lot of lps in my tank. sometimes i need to add ca and sometimes i dont. i just test it often. i guess when my...

Sorry to tell you this but those corals are extremely hard to keep. I have not met anyone that has keep one alive longer than 6 months. I think they are one of the prettiest corals you can get, but they are a pain. They have to have perfect water quality. I had a green one (when I bought it...

If I had to do it over again I would have taken out my bioballs and put live rock in the back of my cube. IMO bioballs can easily give you nitrate issues. I would put live rock in the back and fill it up so it will not trickle but just be extra rock. Get a protein skimmer and lots of rock and...

I have one of those in my tank.

if you have had a saltwater tank running for only 2 weeks I would wait at least another month or two before I added coral. I was excited when I got my nano set up and rushed things and paid for it in losses. Every fish you add it will change your bio load. I would make sure everything was...

To tell you the truth I really couldn't tell that much of a difference in brightness. The only difference was the fan noise. But with this upgrade you can do a lot of stuff. I think you will love it.
