wow i didnt know there was a red version. i had the green version show up right in the middle of one of my corals. dont know the name but its like a starburst but they look like daisies. anyway it almost killed it i only have 3 sprouts left out of 100 or so. i removed most of it and got a new...

i guess anything is possible in the ocean world! i have had 2 clowns for about a year now and what i thought was the smaller one from the beginning is now the larger one. they are always together but wont touch the anemone and never spawned so i dont know what to tell u but the fish will figure...

i have 2 clowns and a long tentacle and its been about a year and still not hosting so i dont know whats the deal maybe one day theyll come around.

i might just be lucky or something i dont know but i can tell u dont lose hope. i had to evacuate for hurricane gustav and ike this past september and i wasnt leaving my tank behind as we live in a flood zone and behold we did flood. anyway i have a 75gal tank and at the time i had a few fish...

thanks once again and yes the ledge came in very helpful when doing water tests and changes and stuff. i will probably change the hinges around in the near future after i build the other door for the bottom. lol.

wow ok thanks guess its time to up the salt a little

thanks i bought a cheap air pump from wal mart so i guess ill just use it a couple hours before changes and see if anything changes. right now i try to keep my gravity at 1.022 is that good for a reef tank or should it be higher/lower?

well tank is about 13mths old and the lights are off because of hair algae i cut em back a few hours each day. i dont have a sump so i just threw the top together in a day just to hide all the mechanicals(lights and pumps). i also just hooked up a RO system and someone also told me it was a good...

how long should saltwater be airated before doing a water change? also what is the prime specific water gravity for a reef tank? and lastly here are pics of this weekends project. new tank top.

are flatworms and bristle worms the same? if so i have a wise man that taught me to build a trap for them that will catch plenty up to 100 or so depending on how many u have in one night! i just put mine in the tank a few mins ago and tomorrow ill see what happens. i use flake food as bait. so...

well there is one other route that i could go. a guy will show me how to build a trap to catch the worms today so maybe that will be a safer more effective way of doing things.

Dont know if it will help u but this is what i have. 75gal tank with 48in t-5 2 whites and 2 blues. my flow is approx 25x but it could use a little more if u ask me. i have a derasa clam and it seems to be doing just fine if the brislte worms would leave it alone lol. i placed it to where when i...

Thanks again. I did a more advanced test for phosphate and ammonia today and came up with new results so i retested and again got the same thing so the new numbers are ammonia is 0 and phosphate is slighty above 0 i guess about .1 or so. last night i believe i saw a bristle worm attacking my...

he might just not be used to eating pellets or brine. If you keep feeding it that however it will eat it. If he is hungry he will eat.

If you are testing the pH at the same time everyday that could be something. pH is at a constant up and down cycle. When you have your lights on for full day measure the pH at mid day because the water is the hottest and it could show you a more accurate reading on your pH. Another way to raise...

Thanks ill do more frequent water changes. should i also change the filters weekly or keep that on the monthy cycle? oh and i just added a new resident(yellow eyed tang) today and after a dose of eight.four this morning to raise ph and alk the flower pot is starting to open up a little more...

Hey all. First off ive been having a 75gal tank for a little over a year now and everything was doing fine until the last month or so. For some reason i have a crazy amount of hair algae taking over my tank. I cleaned most of the biggest part out during the last water change. Im now using this...
