So I was given this plant, and I'm not sure what it is... My powder brown kept eating it so I put it im my fuge until I know what it is. Any ideas? The picture is kind of terrible, I only have my cell phone. Its a brownish red color, with larger leafs. Thanks!

What if I'm starting with cycled water from my display tank?

I'm not home all that much so should i do a copper treatment? Or do hypo?

Alright I'm thinking I'll try removing all of the fish then. My friend is lending me a 29 gallon, so I'll put the tang in that, and I'll divide the other fish between my 15 and 20 gallon.

Ya i have decided against taht. waht im actually going to do now is turn my display in to the quarantine. im taking out all the rock and coral and putting them else where and im going to put the tank to hypo. sound good?

So I have ich in my tank, and I'm thinking of taking all of the fish out and treating them and letting the ich die off in the display. My only problem is that I have a 6" powder brown tang....and my largest spare tank is a 20 gallon. I know that I will be needing to keep the fish out of the...

Hi, So I'm needing a skimmer and I found a Reef Octopu sMSX 200 that I can get a good deal on. It isn't going to fit in my sump though... Does anyone know if this can be run externally? It doesn't say it can be in the product description, but couldn't I just sit it on the floor and put some...

So I don't have much room in my sump/refugium. The only way I am going to be able to fit a skimmer in is if I put it in my refugium. My question is, does it matter if the skimmer is almost completely submerged in water (minus the collection cup and output)? Thanks

I'm not positive, but I think that I have the same zoas as you. They were sold to me as "Green Bay Packer" zoas. That's because of the colors, so if the colors resemble the football team...I guess that might be a name you could give them. Not necessarily the right name, but a name.

Mine doesn't go any lower than .012.

I'm sorry you all dislike that I'm using a chemical and not hypo. I don't have a refractometer and I don't have the money to buy one right now. Next time I put fish in QT I will be sure that I have one. Does anyone know if Rid-Ich will kill off free swimming parasites though? Thanks

I agree, looks like caulerpa.

With a product called rid-ich.

I also had ich in my DT. I have my fish in QT, and I have been treating them. They no longer are showing any signs of ich, but I am still treating them. They are not in hypo. My question is, how do I ensure that the fish do not still have it and it isn't just dormant in the fish? Is the only way...

I have a jebo protein skimmer...yes I know that it isn't a good skimmer but that's what I have right now. My question is for those of you who don't have a jebo skimmer. Does the lid on the collection cut have holes in it? I have taken the lid off of my cup and it seem to get more skimmate than I...

The mushroom is neon green with stripes if that helps.

So I just got my first corals for my tank. The person who I bought them from didn't seem very knowledgeable as to what they all were. So If someone could tell me what I have that would be great. I know I have a mushroom (very unhappy right now) and I beleive a kenya tree. I know the pictures...

The algae bloom is when you wake up one morning and brown algae has begun to grow on everything. This brown algae is what your CUC will eat.
