anyone else?

I am using ro/di water and the filters were changed a couple months ago. Someone told me to use something that removes silicates called eco something. Thanks

My nitrates are less than 5ppm and my phos are 0....

Emerald crabs will eat it in a heart beat. I had a really bad outbreak of it in my 90g. I out about 5 in there and they took care of it.

Is this diatoms? What causes it and how do you get rid of it? My tank has been established for a little over a year now. water params nitrate-<5 trite-0 salinity-1.025 alk-2.5 cal-450 pho-0

What are they and what causes it? Is it the brown dust that gets on your sand, and if it's not what is the brown dust looking stuff that gets on the sand and how do you get rid of it?

I haven't heard of emerald crabs eating hair algae, more likely bubble algae, but I could be wrong. I would def try a foxface or a lawnmower blenny. I've got a big cuc, with emeralds, and nothing touched it for two months. The foxfade had it gone in a week.

I've wanted to add a new fish to my 90g reef for awhile. It's been set up and established for a little over a year now with fish and corals. I really want to add a niger trigger or a fuzzy dwarf lion. I know both of them could cause problems in a reef tank, but I wanted to know which one you...

Why don't you have any fish in there? I was having a problem with it and got a foxface rabbit fish and it was gone within a week!

Well, I'd be getting the fuge and everything I need with it for free so the money isn't the issue. I was just thinking it would prob just be more of a pain to maintain it.

So, I'm debating on weather or not I want to start up a refugium or not. Right now I just use a sock filter and a EuroReef skimmer. I don't have a nitrate or phosphate problem of any kind. I don't need an excess of pods since I don't have any fish that rely on them as their only food. Soooo...

Yeah, it puts out a lot of bubbles all of a sudden. Enough that they get blown into my dt and make everything kind of cloudy. I'm wondering if maybe I have a bad seal or something and it's letting in too much air?

I have a euroreef skimmer, not sure the exact model, but it's worked really great since I got it. About two weeks ago it started foaming and my return pump is blowing the little bubbles into my dt. I unplugged it and I used red slime remover and kept it off for about a week. I've done my...

What exactly do flat worms do? I've got a few on a hammer coral that I got from a friend. They haven't spread or move anywhere else in the tank.

I had one for almost two years with no problem in a reef tank. I kept him fed twice a day and everything was great. One day he decided he wanted a snack I guess and picked off one of my chromis. From then on he ate two more chromis and a skunk clown before I removed him from the tank. So...

I've heard and seen that they are a lot easier to keep than sun corals. The come out during the day rather than the night in my experience. It's basically an orange duncan as far as care level and feeding.

So, for the last couple of weeks I've noticed that something has been beating up my blue green chromis, but haven't noticed anyone bullying them around. One of them died tonight and it was missing it's tail. Well, I was just walking by my tank and saw my midas blenny chasing and nipping at...

Turning the lights off won't fix the prob. I just used the red slime remover on sat and it cleared my tank up. Like you, I didn't want to use chemicals but I was fighting a losing battle and tried everything. The chemicals are just a "band-aid" fix. If you don't find out what is really...

Well, it seems to have removed most of it and nothing looks to be unhappy except my duncan. I'm going to do a water change because the water looks really weird and then tomorrow use it once again to remove the rest of it.

The tank is about eight or nine months old and I'm using a sock filter and a Euroreef skimmer. My phosphates are at zero.
