will try and get a good pic up.

I recently bought a powder blue tang (pbt) from swf. It arrived in what appeared good condition. I didn't get a great look at it until the next day, due to acclimation process and evening time frame. Once I got him into the quarantine tank and had a light on, I noticed that he had a washed...

i just found a great thread on this issue. Search flatworms in the reef forum. Or overall search. Then find "so I think i have flatworms..."

I have the exact same issue right now. Mine are almost square,4mm, and are growing in #'s rapidly. There must be close to a 1000 of them. They don't seem to be causing any harm. I have many many unique critters in my reef, and none of them cause any harm to corals. Just wondering about...

I do have a couple of SPS, and intend on keeping more. So you think the way to go would be to seperate the "upgrade" pump (Iwaki) to the DT only and leave the 700 gph mag7 as the return through the Ref.?

It shouldn't matter where your getting the circulation from, should it? (in other words cir. by full return through ref. -vs- pump running in and out of DT). I have heard that macro algae in the ref. is better served if it gets a slower flow through it anyway???

Flow circulation question [hr] I have a 120 gal with 40 gal ref/sump. I have a mag 7 for return and a 2x 1" overflow box. I also have 4 internal pwr. heads. 2 korola's and 2 stronger 400+ pwr heads. It's not enough flow/circulation, thats for sure. Not even close. I'm thinking of geeting the...

DO NOT own a horseshoe crab unless you have a 300 gal tank that is all sand and little to no obsticales. The horseshoe is very clumsy and quite frankly, not very smart. They are very cool, but need to be kept in a tank specific for them. In their natural world, they live in open ocean sand...

Sorry Meowzer........"her lights"

I recently changed from PC's to Halide along with increased wattage. I acclimated by keeping the lights higher and slowly lowering them. All my corals and anemones LOVE the new lights! However, I am now dealing with Cyano algae now. Just treated with Chemiclean today. I have never had a...

1) Cut down on fish feeding. I feed moderate amount of flake once a day, mysis shrimp, and fresh shrimp 2-3x a week when feeding anemones. 2) VERY High water flow and current throughout the tank. 3) White light on for only 11-13 hours. Mine is on for 12. 4) Water Quality, Water Quality...

I would say no...IMO. Most anemones need very high light requirements. They will live for 6mos to a couple of years on lower then good MH lights, but never seem to thrive and usually end up shrinking into a fraction of what they were and eventully die. I will say that I have had no experience...

Yes, the 50/50 s would be an option. My question would be....am I benifiting the corals any by going this way? If not, I may as well stay with the all actinic??? In other words, is the increased PC 10000k with the already 3x 175watt MH 10000k any benifit over keeping all PC's actinic?

I have the coralife pro 175watt mh with actinics. The tank is 125g I have 3 of the mh's with 2 96watt and 2 65 watt actinic. I need to replace the actinics, but was thinking about replacing half of them with white light (10,000k). By the way they are the PC's. Would this improve light for...

Hopefully the pic/link below works? This is a pic of a strange worm like creature that was on my refugium glass. If you can see the pic or have any ideas on what it could be I would appriciate it. Also is there a trick to loading pics on here....having troubles. Thanks LINK BELOW...
