After doing a water change (water from the LFS) several months ago I've had this outbreak of this red stuff. I say stuff because I don't know how to get rid of it.Originally thought it was red slime,but after being treated numerous times it just doesn't go away.Started dosing with Vodka,seems...

I've had my orange Perc clown for about 3 years who has been very happy in his anemone. I decided to purchase a small chocolate clown mainly because he was brown .As soon as I put him in the tank orange noticed him.Brown stayed at the top of the tank happily swimming in the open water.During...

I'm nursing a pink tip anemone back to health,directly under the clown (white). I noticed the other day a purple colored with clear tips fuzzy thing spreading..The clowns seem to like it since they have been sticking their faces in it.I have no idea whether its good or bad .

How long can I safely leave my lights off to kill off Red Slime without harming my corals? So far it's been today.

Does anyone have any experience with this new system Can I possibly call you? Thanks

Ok, after three years in the same spot my pink tip moved to the back of the tank. The only problem which is a big one is that I won't be able to feed it. Any suggestions as to how to coax it back around to the front? It's been there for 2 weeks now. It does host 2 perc clowns. Of course they...

Will invertebrate food cause red slime algae. My husband has been using it for a couple years at the recommendation of LFS. I don't think we need it.We don't really have any of the inverts listed under this site except for a rose tip anemone which I fed feeder fish or shrimp and a sand...

I ordered a Toby puffer from LFS. I got there the next evening,asked if it was eating,she said they didn't get to observe it so she fed it while I was there.Well it didn't eat, kinda just spit it out. Her reasoning was that maybe the food was still to cold ( it was frozen) or didn't like it...

Upon inspection of my tank this morning I noticed that my Red Hawk had antenna's hanging out of his mouth.Then here came the Betta the same thing.Cleaner shrimp of 6 months was nowhere to be found.Are these fish known to eat these shrimp.I've always had cleaners with these particular fish,first...

My little Valentini puffer of almst three years has been alittle bloated for the past few days and now struggling at the bottom of the tank.I hate to lose my little puffdaddy futhermore I hate to see him suffer

I have the best fish trap, but it sits on the bottom of the tank. I've caught every fish that I've wanted to rid my tank of with it, however it seems that the open water swimmers (firefish, anthias,etc.. the one I want to catch)aren't enticed enough to venture into the trap for the food. Any...

My yellow polyps turned out to be very hardy. How in the world do I neuter them?? I also have a grass like coral spreading like a weed that I would like to burn. Any suggestions. Taking the rock out is not an option.Thanks

Is it ok to feed my Betta live shrimp or should I feed him frozen. I've heard varying views. I've done both. Will feeding him live cause him to become aggressive, which I don't want. Feeding frozen I usually have to spot feed because he will not generally come out into the open water where the...

I just added a royal gramma to my tank last night and my potters angel I believe will kill it. The RG finally found a hiding place and I'm afraid that he may not venture out to eat. I didn't think PAngels were aggressive that's the reason I purchased it. I've had it about 2 months I have a 75bow...

I'm going from a 35 to 75 gal. It's been a week, I added water from existing tank along with sand and a few pieces of the live rock. Is it safe to add my fish? LPS checked my water perimeters all were within range.

I added a fire shrimp two days ago, this morning upon inspection of my tank (35 gal)my two cleaner fish(I've had for sometime) look like they had a trim job. Their tenicles are cut off. Is this normal after they get so long?

Does everyone turn their pumps off to feed in order to prevent the food from being sucked up into the filter? I only have a 34 gal so It doesn't take long to suck it up. I find that turning the pumps on and off causes alot of air bubbles to pass through the jets. Any suggestion?

I just recieved my copepods in the mail, between 1 - 2000. How often should I add them. My tank is 4 months old 34 gal Red Sea Max with 50lbs of live rock. Only the Mandrian will most likely eat them, along with my Toby Puffer.I think that's what he'll eat (Puffer), he's always searching the...

My Tang has been constantly darting irratically since yesterday . It's like he's trying to shake something off of him. No signs of ick.It's driving us both crazy, and wearing him out. He still eats. Does anyone have any idea what I'm dealing with?He was perfect the other day??All my water...
