    Alright fellow reefers...I have yet another problem! I have / had 2 fish (Kole Tang & Maroon Clown) with a "cloudy" white substance on their fins and body. At times it looks like ich and other times it appears different from anything i've ever seen. The Kole Tang has died from this "funk". I...

    So, I added my sand, last night. I did not rinse it out because it's Carb-Sea Aarg-Alive and I didn't want to flush out all the good bacteria that's in the sand, so dumped it all in. Of course, the very fine sediment bloomed in the water and clouded it up rather superbly. :) :P So, I turned...

    This weekend, I introduced a new fish to my DT,..a yellow tang. Seemed fine at LFS. & ate well prior to purchase. I took an hour to acclimate him by "bag method" & turned off the lighting to ease introduction. Later in the eve' , I turned the lighting on to feed..and he ate well. However, I...

    I mixed 5 gal. of ro/di and IO salt, it's very cloudy and the ph is 10.4 It's older salt 5 years will that effect it, should I keep circulating it or let it settle, pitch it, or what? I have new IO salt and haven't had this problem, it clears fast and ph around 8.1

    About a month ago my Foxface died. I never found out what the reason was. No cloudy eyes, spots, or parasites hanging on. He would hang at the bottom of the tank and not eat for like a week and a half. Now I've been noticing my chromis acting the exact same way!! I have no clue what the problem...

    Sorry about the dark pics. My droid doesnt take good tank pics and I'm not buying a camera. LOL Divers Den.... This one is a very thick brancher. I think albrohosensis or albrotanoides. It's wild so it's a brownish green now, but very healthy. It's chances are looking really good. Shaggy...

    New 130gal tank here, 35gal sump. Filled the tank with tap water (city water), added correct amount of salt, salinity is 28, specific gravity is 1.020. Temp is hovering at 85-87. Added 1 bag of dry sand, 2 bags of crushed corral. Pre-rinsed all of it and placed live rock in the tank and sump...

    As some of you know, I've been battling algae for 4 years on my tank. During this time, I have done religious weekly water changes of 15-20%. I've come to the conclusion that I got bad rock from a poorly maintained tank thinking regular maintenance would solve my issues. Anyway, I finally...

    Bought a new GFO Dual reactor from BRS and some GFO. Worked well for about 2 weeks then it started making the water cloudy and started developing brown sludge in the skimmer and tank. Changed the GFO and carbon and the water got cloudy. Shut off the GFO and the water cleared in an hour or so...

    Well it has begun. Last night I laid down my sand and filled my tank with water at proper salinity. Tank is super cloudy. I have the skimmer running and 2 powerheads going as well. Its been 13 hours now and no sign of improvement. My question is, is it safe to put my live rock in with it this way?

    My little baby plate coral keeps opening his mouth and pushing out then pulling back a large brown pellet looking object. To be honest it looks like a huge turd. I have seen these thing poop and it is usually more string like. Could he be constipated? That is very much what it looks like but is...

    Hi guys, I use only RO/DI water for my reef tank. When I mix the salt, and put powerhead and heater to prepair it, it gets cloudy, and especially on the container, you will see this kind of wet powder all over the container. Is that good or bad? Please let me know

He still is a strong eater and moves around great. I dont want to lose any of my little friends so please HELP...

    We just filled our 55 gallon tank, added dry sand, and live rock. The system is still very cloudy, I'm not worried about that, but when should we test the water? And how often? I'm worried that everything will die by morning. I'm already wanting to test it to make sure it is ok.
