Hi guys! I need some help please. I just purchased a small 1-2 inch diameter long tentacle anemone from my lfs. I placed him in the sand bottom near the base of some live rock away from my ricordia...he's doing great however, he seems to be blowing around. I have a powerhead on the other side...

Hello, I have a 65 gal tank with 70lbs of live rock that has been established for over a year and is doing wonderfully. The water specks are normal and have been so for over eight months now. Recently i've noticed a dark maroon algae covering my live rocks. I originally noticed it on the glass...

The only thing I add is the DK phytoplankton for my feather duster. I currently don't have a reef testing kit...so i cant test the amount of Calcium ( It's my next thing to buy) But my Nitrates and Nitrites have been zero for six months at least. I'm running a T5 nova extreme T5 lighting system...

Hi, I have a 65 gal bowfront aquarium and am just starting to get into some soft corals. I recently purchased a power head to increase flow in the tank. How to do you accurately judge water flow vrs. coral placement? I have a very large but centralized live rock structure with xenia, zoos, and...

Yes! They look just like amiphods.... are they okay in my tank? Or...do i need to get them out!

Hello, Recently i noticed several little critters running across one of my live rocks as i went to turn the lights on yesterday morning. The ranged in length from approx. 0.5 cm to 1.0 cm. At first the appeared to resemble a terrestrial pill bug however, I saw them again this morning and they...

Hello, I started my first saltwater tank a year ago and updated to a larger tank in June. My tank was progressing perfectly untill recently. I currently have a 65 gallon saltwater aquarium and have even started experimenting with some corals. I run a canister filter that just started producing...

Hi, I just started to experiment with some easy corals. I have one polyp and another species ...I'm unsure of exactly what but the LFS said it was good for beginners. It looks like little wavy algae that come out in the light. Anyway, the polyps came on a small circular piece of stone and have...

Hi, I have a 65 gallon tank that has completely cycled all my levels are normal and everything is running smoothly. I just bought my first protien skimmer as I want to start getting into a reef system. My problem is however diatoms. Occasionally I'll get a bloom that will cover my sand and...

So... I'm still not having any luck with the skimmer. The collection cup is picking up slightly brown water but not much else. The output chamber still has extremely high foam peaks that tend to over flow.... I notice more brown foam in this chamber than the imput/ collection cup. Should I see...

Oh...thanks, obviously you can tell this is my first protein skimmer.... thanks!

I do have a silencer but its currently not attached to the air hose. The pumps model number is king225f... does it work better if you take the cover off. I've just plugged the small hole that leads to the output chamber and it seems to be working nicely. Has anyone else tried that... will it...

I've been messing around with the skimmer's air intake. When I examined it the line seemed to be making a gurgling sound... so i attempted to suck whatever water was in there out. Boy was I shocked when I got a mouth full of saltwater! However, the large foam head seemed to get smaller.... Could...

Help!!! Here are some photos of my skimmer.....Please help as any advice would be appreciated. Essentially this is what it does the entire time. Sometimes it overflows and it also pumps so many bubbles into the tank that the fish are freaked. It doesn't pull anything from the tank. Has anyone...

I'm going to post pics tonight when I get off work. Hopefully, we can fix this!!!!! At least its comforting to know others have had this problem. But why would it work great in the vinegar/water solution and then work like sh*! in the actual tank??

I just let the skimmer sit in a mix of vinegar and water all weekend. It worked beautifully!!! Today, I decided to put the skimmer back into the 65 gal tank and began experiencing the same problems! The skimmer is overflowing white clean foam and their are so many bubbles in the tank its...

The adult star appears to be a typical brittle star. It is solid brown. The small one appears to have portions of dark brown and lighter brown thick stripes. After isolating the star I put it back in the tank onto the live rock....Hopefully It will not get sucked up again....I wonder if there...

Today I was adding some phosphate sponge into my Magnum 350 canister filter and found what I assume to be a baby brittle star approx. 1 in in diameter. I assume that it hitched a ride on a new live rock that I purchased in which I also found a live adult brittle star! Currently I have the baby...

Yes, I've tried adjusting the cup to several positions. Currently, Its at the highest position.

Really? My BH-100 has been overflowing and spitting out clear foam everywhere! I've tried adjusting everything....!!!
