I'm having a similar issue in my biocube 29, the algae has nearly covered two rocks, the sand, and is stubborn to get off the glass, it has bubbles all over it as well. I have been using R/O water ( so my lfs is telling me they are selling) Maybe I need to invest in a R/O unit come tax return...

Well I picked up a Koralia #2 from a LFS yesterday, I think however that it kicked up some junk that ended up killing off the six line wrasse, the zebra goby is still swimming good. was that too big of a powerhead?

No more than I posted the original thread I went to see about getting another pic of it, and it was gone! Haven't seen it since. If it shows up I'll try for more pictures... It was very weird looking

I found this guy on the glass this morning What is it and do I need to remove it?. I know this isn't the best picture. It's clear to white it has a lot of tentacles that are very thin and which he can retract to his body. It looks like he can strech his arms3 times the length. Hard to count ho...

I was told not to use bioballs that they wern't good for salt water tanks, they could potentially release bad things like amonia back into the tank from the bacteria. Don't know how true/not true I didn't take the chance with it.

well here are some updated pic from this morning, it's not 100% but it's better than yesterday! Notice in pic #2 there is nothing floating on the surface yay! 3rd pic is the filler pad i cut and placed and what it has collected overnight. I never thought of using that thanks!

Update to the tank went to Walmart and they have the 100% polyester stuff in 15foot rolls for Christmas "Snow" there is no glitter or anything like that on for $3.00 a bag ( I'll be getting more since it's easy to cut into shapes) I looked for the filter I got with the tank, alas must have been...

Ok I haven't used that filter that came with the tank, the sales person who also showed me the set up at the store said it's not nessesary to have it in. so that hasn't even come out of the wrapper. I asked at the time of my tank purchase what then filters out the waste? he said the live rock...

At this point I'm thinking I'm going to add a couple power heads and save up for a RO unit. Driving 45 min one way for .80 a gallon is not saving me anything

well my head is spinning. I am on another forum and I was told there that it is all just part of the cycling process and I just need to wait it out. not just one person gave me this advise multiple people did. I posted picture 1 and the last picture that I posted here to show them what I'm...

so what is sounds like is your creating a kind of vortex in the tank the water circulation all going the same direction,with the one moving the surface water. You have indeed gave me many things to ponder and will be making some changes in the coming weeks I'm sure Now I too must sleep for the...

Yeah I did read the 101 beginner saltwater thread when I first was looking into a tank. I'm not a complete newbie but one none the less ok Well I'll add the powerhead that I have and maybe order one from somewhere. I'm sure I'll find some good prices online vs retail on them. Where would be a...

How many more snails would be suggested? I'm really good at maintaining freshwater but feel completly lost on the salt side lol With the weekend coming up and with my wife's 2006 Matrix car purchase cash is a bit tight so hopefully I'll be able to at least add 1 powerhead. I do have a...

I have for a cleanup crew or so I was told would be good 3 snails ( don't know what kind they were a buck each) 3 hermit crabs 1 Emerald green crab other things are the 3 coral you see in the pictures 1 zebra goby 1 six line wrasse Thats the whole tank occupants other that the little white...

No powerheads other than the one pump that came with the system

My tank is a Oceanic Biocube 29g everything on it is stock what came with it. lights, pump, are stock I was told the live rock is the filtration ( which surprised me since I have a 60 gal freshwater with plants). I have a test kit for both fresh and salt but was told that that is not a good...

Ok well I haven't posted in a while and got my Bio Cube 29 up and running, My LFS gave my some live sand out of one of thier back systems as well as some water from a already setup system along with live rock about 30#'s. My LFS guy told me they generally don't have issues doing this and told...

Thanks for the advise

Thanks for the book I'll defiantly want that!

Ok I'm a newbie to the saltwater world, I'm wondering about a few things on your tank if I may ask, Warning these are Newbie questions please don't laugh too hard the egg crating that you have under your live rocks, is that to keep the rock from damaging the glass or is there another reason...
