Any other tips besides adding turbo snails and a lawn mower blenny? I had a lawnmower blenny but he died for some unknown reason. Surely he didn't starve to death with all this hair algea I have! I have removed all rocks and scrubbed it off and it is coming back.

I just installed my first ro system. It is a coralife 50gpd 4 stage unit. I just wanted to make sure it is working right. It is suppost to be just spitting water out of the reject and ro tubes right? It is not a steady smooth flow. With 50 gpd, that is only a little over 2 gallons per hour...

It is the funniest thing. My oldest clown has decided to nest in my excessive hair algea. I guess he thinks it is an anemone lol. I see him peek out at me then goes back in. He or she will just sit motionless in it then come out and swim with the other clown and go back. I almost hate to get...

Ok I would like to add a sump to my 55 gal DT. I have an extra 10 gallon sitting and I thought about getting another 10 gal and having it drilled for a fuge. So I would have a 10 gallon fuge flowing into a 10 gallon sump essentionally adding 15-20 gallons to my 55. The fuge is a no brainer to...

Yep, looks like I now have green hair algae, caulerpa racemosa, and valonia macrophysa ( bubble Algae). Are these harmful? How do I get rid of them?

Sorry I have not been on here since June when my wife had her surgery for [hr] cancer to update but had to put my aquarium on hold and maintain what I had and time didn't allow me to really get on here. Just an update. She is doing fine now. We are 4 treatments in and 2 left to go. After...

I would just like to ask everyone if they could pray for my wife. She was diagnosed with [hr] cancer about a month ago. She will be undergoing surgery tomorrow for a double masectomy. She is only 33. THis is her second bout with cancer. THe first time was when she was 14. If everyone...

I just got an emerald crab on Saturday and was doing fine this morning and now I just saw him laying on his back with legs slowly. I flipped him over and he is not moving. His legs move some. My water parameters seem fine and everyone else in the tank is moving about like normal. I acclimated...

Well I finally got my sump put in yesterday. It is a small 10 gal sump on my 55 gal DT. Used an Eshopp overflow box and everything is working great! Put my Chateo in today. Finally able to get my heater, filters and HOB skimmer out of my DT!!!

Do I need to have an additional heater in my sump or just the one DT? If I only need one can I put it in the sump to minimize what is in my DT?

My pc fixture I noticed when it comes on is really nice and bright and then it starts to kind of get dimmer. Is this a sign that the bulbs are ready to be replaced? They are 6-7 months old.

Can I put Chateo in my sump with a strong light on it? I just wanted to lower my trates some and grow Chateo but did not want to add a seperate fuge right now but maybe later down the road.

My yellow watchman goby that I just bought seems to have a messed up dorsal fin running down his back. Will it grow back and fix itself?

I have this film on top of my water, is this normal? Doesn't seem to bother anything and I cant seem to make it go away.

I had asked in the past about what to use to glue frags and was told superglue. WHen I set up my hypo tank I glued some pipe together for the fish to hide in and I used a hot glue gun. Is this glue bad? It worked great and didn't seem to bother the fish for the 4 weeks or so they were in there.

They are too small to photograph but I have alot of these what I think look like ant things walking around the bottom of my tank. Any idea what these could be? I compare them to ants only in size.

I would like to know what people think of these stars and what is their experience with them? I just got one and I have a 55gal with a hippo tang, 2 clowns, 2 chromis damsels, 8 red leg hermits and a cleaner shrimp. I needed another scavenger to help clean up and liked him.

Bad storms at home knocked the power out and not sure when it will be back on. How long to I have before I start worrying? I have a 55 gal with small hippo tang, 2 clowns, 2 damsels. If it is not on tomorrow then I will get a small battery operated pump.

Ok, I looked in my tank yesterday and saw may anemone stuck in my powerhead!!! It had shrunk to the size of a silver dollar and was stuck inbetween the slates of my Koralia 4! I thought man this thing dies on me but I didn't want to just rip him out of it so I snipped the slates and removed him...

When putting in a sump/fuge on a tank that is not drilled do you need an overflow box or can you use a syphon tube with a screen on it to keep critters from going up it? What does the overflow box do that a syphon tube would not?
