Sea Hares are great for mowing down the hair algae. I had one dye in the tank from a lack of food but it didnt cause any issues.

Do you think your fish are bothered by the LED lights at night? I turned mine off because I felt the fish were not sleeping. Curious as to what you guys observe. I dont want to stress the fish but those moon lights sure look cool.

i am really looking to go with a community tank. Really looking to get a nice mix of colors and obviously wanting to keep everything compatible.

Hey guys, Just converted a long time reef to FOWLR. Please give me some ideas of a high quality mix of fish that you would go with to stock a 90 if you were starting out from scratch and dont concern yourself with price. The only fish that I really want to make sure I get is a snowflake eel so...

Does anybody have a picture of these sundial snails? I too am having problems keeping zoo's and everything else in my tank is doing fine. Now that I have read the last post about these snails I am thinking I might have them. I have what seems to be hundreds of little snails that group...

Yea, hopefully these weekly water changes and cleaning out my powerheads will get my tank back to where it was. I also just realized that I have one VHO bulb, out of four, that has not been changed in over a year and a half. Changing that one out tomorrow.

I started the water changes over a month ago. Not a week ago.

Hello to all, Just curious if anyone out there has used the product Chemi-Clean and what the results were. I am battling cyano right now in a couple of spots in my 90 gallon and nothing seems to be working. I was at fault for not doing water changes for a year (based on local advice when I...

What is a DSB? Some kind of sand bed? I am also battling Cyano in my 90 gallon. Just little patches but it (and something else?) are killing my zoo's. Everything else in the tank is jamming right along. I am running 4-VHO's for lighting and I just decreased the amount of time they are on to...

Hey guys! I am hoping somebody out there can tell me what these little paramecium looking things are that are very slowly scooting around on my mushrooms. They are approx 1cm in length and width and they are oval in shape. They are not only crawling around on my mushrooms but they are also on...

Anybody have any advice on how to get a Coral Beauty out of a 90 gallon reef without tearing it up too badly. This fish is nipping way too much on a toadstool and a green finger leather. Thanks in advance!

I just bought a yellow finger leather and was told by the LFS that it was an easy coral to keep. One day I will learn to research before I buy but I am new at this and learning as I go. Hoepfully it will do well.

Great pics guys! What are you feeding them?

Yea Terryd, mine looks similar but a lot thicker in the areas where it is growing. I need to pull out my digital and start taking some pics of my tank. Havent even tried yet to see how they would turn out. Wrassecal, what essential elements should be added? Right now I am adding Reef...

My tank is approx a month and a half old now and just today I noticed a lot of patches of a white coating starting to cover my live rock. This stuff is snow white and has really taken off. It looks like a solid coating almost like somebody painted my rock. Can somebody tell me what this is?

Thanks WAMP!

I live in Raleigh and so far so good. No power outages yet. Sleet and freezing rain coming down pretty good right now though. I went out yesterday morning and purchased a 5500 watt generator. My 90 gallon reef tank is only a month and a half old so I did not have it set up yet during the...

I also wish I could help but too far away in Raleigh. Thanks for your service and kick some ass over there!!!

Hello to all! New to the boards and new to the hobby of reefkeeping. I recently started a 90 gallon reef and completed the cycle and added a couple of corals and a yellow tang last Friday. Today I was noticing very small dark spots on my tang. About the size of a pinhead. Is this normal or...

Hello to all! New to this forum and I have just begun to set up my 1st reef tank. It has recently completed cycling and I just added a couple of corals, a yellow tang, and a serpent star. Can anyone tell me what I should be feeding the serpent star? Any procedure I should follow? Thanks in...
