The water seems to have a greenish tint to it, I did a 30% water change tonight and seems to be a mucus type fungus on the filter. Brown and white, smells horrible. Any ideas? Fish seem to be fine though and I only feed them once a day and alternate foods.

What is the best way to keep Algae unde control. Is there some type of product to buy or by animals themselves.

I am new to the saltwater setup and trying to get the levels where they should be. Here are the following I have tested and the results. PH = 8.0 Nitrite = 0.5 - 1.0 Nitrate = 20ppm Ammonia = 0 - 0.25 Alkalinity = High If these are high, how do I get them down to lower levels? Water Change...

Anyone got any ideas or have you given up trying to help?

I got in just now and looked at the tank. This is what I can see. I pulled the filters and found a white milky substance with brown growth on each of the upright filters. They appear to have algae pollups or something and smell horriable. This developed over night. Any ideas?

I have no coral in the tank as of yet. Inverts, all I have are crabs at this point. The fish are all active and swimming around in the tank. Clown has some spots on him look like brown cuts or something next to the first white stripe. My black domino damsels have little white freckles around...

Phosphates, no actually I don't. I am looking for a good master test kit to test everything. Know of any? Will respond later tonight if you answer when I am not busy. Thanks for the help thus far though. Chris

Sorry it has tken me so long to reply. Got to work tongiht so I am trying to get some sleep between now and then. I use water out of the faucet. It is filtered and clean, and not harsh on the animals. Just as a precaution I use dechlorinator and such to remove any trace amounts of chlorine...

This is my tank.

I make my own saltwater. I usually mix it in a 5 gallon bucket and let it sit overnight before a water change. The store i purchased my fish at recommended the waterchange when I had my problem with my little clown. What is RO & DI stand for? The tank I believe is a 60 - 65 gallon. Here are...

18 miles south of Tallahassee, FL. Wakulla County, Florida. I do trust them, but I have had 1 clownfish die, 1 sally lightfoot die, and I don't want this to happen again. How is the weather in your area?

Yes they do, they are gathered around the gills of the fish at this point. They gave me something called Formalin. Have you heard of it. As a cop I am taught to gather all sides of evidence and fact before I make a decision, so don't take offense please.

What type of sand do you guy's use in your tanks? I bought some back in 2000 when I first set my tank up but I can't remember what. I believe it was crushed coral or something like that. This si what my tank looks like not, but eventually I want to add a variety of things and need your...

I spoke with a local shop who asked me to check for stray voltage in the tank from submersiable pumps, heaters, and etc. He asked me to put a grounding rod in the tank and and treat with some ICH medicine. He also said for me to remove any crabs, shrimp, and etc for 10 days. Any opinions?

Ok, I never use a net for them. They have been in the tank since new so I am just curious. I did have an outbreak of brown algae if this makes any difference, but I treated for that and it's almost gone except for what the crabs get. Two nights ago I did a 50% water change in the tank, so I...

4 Zebra Damsels 2 Domino Damsels 1 Percula Clown 2 Green Damsels 1 Blue/Yellow Damsel 3 Sally Lightfoots All Look fine, no spots or anything. Has been in the tank for 2 months now with regular water changes. Any ideas on what to look for?

The clown didn't make it. I am following the recommended dosage on the box itself. It says add 2 tablets per 10 gallons of water. 2 - 5 day, add 1 per 10 gallons of water. Repeat a second week if needed. I keep my water pretty well clean. I change it ever two weeks and have not needed a...

I have had my tank set up for months now, and yesterday I noticed one of my percula clownfish has a swollen eye. I went and got some manacyn2 I believe it's called and started all my fish on it. I have not had any fish added to the tank, and right now I am only runing damsels to ensure that my...
