    Time to play...WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

    I pull the green out about once a month. Not all of it, but enough to see some rock again. It just grows right back. I don't mess with the pink or the fern, they take longer.

    Time to play...WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

    I have scoured the fourms all day. I haven't found a picture to match any of these. The first picture has three types of algea in it. The purple/red fern leafed one, the pink compacted y shaped one and the green scruffy stuff between the two. The second picture has my crop of red fuzzy...

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    Sorry the tank is a mess, it's water change day and I'm not going to clean the class more than I have to!

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    I will be attempting to frag it this week , I think. A large "bush" broke off of the rock and now moves around the tank. I will send some to my mom and see if can make it in her seahorse tank. I really don't know what to ask for it. I need some advice.

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    Sure, and then somebody figure out what a normal and fair price would be. I think fragging will be happening soon. They have gotten huge, and the hair algea is almost completely gone! My colt coral broke in to two pieces but is still not "happy". Maybe it will come around too!

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    I have no idea where you can buy it. It took me a month to be able to find it's name. When I get brave and decide to cut some off and try to grow it, I'll let you know!

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    ammonia-0 nitrate-0 nitrite-0 phosphate-0 ph-8.2 kh-11.8 Every thing we test is within the normal range. Kh is on the high end and we're doing water changes to bring that down. My guy at lfs says that we can still have phosphate, it's just that the algae is using it up so it doesn't show up on...

    Sea Hare Poop...

    He does a good job, but he can't compete with the algae. He can clean a few inches a night, but within a day the whole tank is covered again. AND he's leaving little poops every where! They end up making a slime covering over what every they touch. Do I just keep vacuuming it up?

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    We are having a hair algae problem, our snails and crabs keep dying and we just got our protein skimmer last week. We are doing water changes ever other week. The colt coral has been sad now for two-three weeks. He does not fill with water and extend his arms like he used to. Any suggestions?

    worm ID

    nope, if I had to compare it to something I would say it looks like a clown fish, but it's a worm!

    worm ID

    I don't have a picture because they are to flippin' fast! I know it is NOT a bristle worm... They are about one inch long. They are a pink color with a white band around the neck. They live in one of my life rocks, not the sand. They come out during the day. Any ideas???

    Sea Hare Poop...

    Thanks, we are purchasing a skimmer today. That has been our last BIG expense for a while now, it's finally time! I wish I would have gotten that before the nice lights! Newbie mistake

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    So do you think if I "pluck" it off of my rock it would be okay? I mean would it still grow? Fragging won't be an issue, it seems to love my tank and is starting in new places every few days.

    Sea Hare Poop...

    we are trying to address the cause. We are lowering the phosphate, slowing down on the over feeding, less light, pulling it out, and water changes. I think I am losing the war! It will be years before he starves to death! Just when I think it's looking better I get up the next morning and it...

    Sea Hare Poop...

    yep, I said it. Sea Hare poop. We are having a hair algea problem. So we bought a sea hare to help us. He helps alright! He eats and eats and eats, and then he poops and poops and poops. I vacuum it up about once a week, is there anything that will eat sea hare poo? It's everywhere. I'm...

    Beautiful Algae, what is it?

    Here are some pics of it today. I think it is the scinaia that you mentioned. Is it safe to keep? It's so pretty!
