The way i understood it is that Hair Algae grows good in low light.

I had some medical reasons that kept me form taken care of my 75 gallon reef. The tank went bad fast. I lost most of my fish and 2/3 of my coral. Most of my cleanup crew also was lost. During that time the tank was not being taken care of well. Hair Algae took over the tank. I have...

I have a 200 Gallon reef. I was thinking about putting in a few tangs. I was thinking about a blue/hippo tang, a powder blue tang and a sail-fin tang. At one point i was told that they would be OK together being they are different body types. I also believe that a yellow tang and a sail-fin...

I have two clowns in my smaller reef tank. I had been gone for a couple of days and this morning i went to feed them and i noticed the larger female tries to eat but cant seem to eat. she has been keeping her mouth open. It looks like there may be something in there. Is there some kind of...

I did try buying the snails at different locations. The locations were different types of stores 200 miles apart. I had Cerith Snails, Nassarius Snails, Astraea, and Zebra turbo snails. I have noticed that my Nassarius are still there. but the others died. My temp ranges from 77-80. I have...

thanks for the reply. I will check alkalinity. I use RO water purchased at the LFS and i only use Reef Crystals for salt. Nitrates have spiked a little each time i had snails die but it goes back down fairly quickly. And yes i acclimate using the drip method. It takes me about 3 hours but i...

OK here is the deal. About two months ago i had every snail in my 75 gallon reef die within two days. I have tried to replace some of the snails a few times and none of them seem to last much more than a week. I have some hair algae and other algae growing now. I am not sure what to try. My...

Yea i am not in a rush. I will build the new tank over the course of about 6 months. Filtration will not be a problem because i am having that part custom build by a professional that does that for a living. As for lights i am going with MH. I was just wondering before i pull the trigger on...

I have a very large Kenya Tree coral that I would like to Frag and share with friends. Anyone know how to do it with this coral? I have fragged other corals but not this kind. Please help.

Yes I have some of those. Sponge.

I have Two clown fish in one of my tanks. I have no lid or egg crate on the tank. I have never lost anything except a fire fish. They are known jumpers. I don't think Clown Fish are known for jumping. There is always exceptions to any rule.

Thank you all for your comments. They were supposed to be wild caught. They were not as good of color when I got them. I feed them only frozen foods.

I have read things that talk about the different types of clown fish. But it is hard to tell. One tried to say the true percula clowns are from the ocean and the False are tank raised. That is not true according to the better sources. Can anyone help me identify the clowns that i have. When...

I have one of each and so far i have not had any problems.

I will research that. Thanks
