Hi guys, 125g new tank (21 days) Cycle is complete. Before the cycle is finished, Bright green algae started showing up. After the cycle is complete, I did my first water change 15% and right after that I started seeing this brown hair algae. My parameters are PH 8.3, Amonia 0, Nitrite 0...

About a week ago, I purchased some Roti Feast and Oyster Feast from. After returning home and feeding the tank, I noticed that my Roti Feast and Oyster Feast were both past their expiration dates. I noticed the dates only after I fed my corals. Immediately after reallizing that I purchased...

Soooo. I have a quick question about skimmers. I am slowly piecing together a 90gallon reef tank. It will most likely be SPS dominated with a medium to heavy bio load. I know I want to overskim just a bit because I do like the idea of over-feeding. I have been looking at two different...

So I absolutely love tangs but I just can't seem to keep them alive. I have had powder brown and blues in the past and lost them. Now I just had a kole tang and a blue hipp and both have died. I don't know what is going on. My water parameters are all WNL. I do water changes of at least 10-20%...

I just left for the weekend fed all my fish last night and I wont be home until sunday afternoon. So that means today and tomorrow no food i have a mix of puffers, tangs, angels. I could have my sister feed the fish but i dont totally trust her. My question is should the fish be ok with no food...

so i picked these guys up from reef solutions a couple/few weeks ago, honestly i loose track. since i already hatch brine to raise to adult hood i have been feeding them a lot of newly hatch brine. you can actually watch them eat em too. while i dont think i lost any, i havent seen and...

I had a problem with my tank a couple weeks ago. I posted a note here and got some good feedback. I think what happened is when I added a new power head, it circulated junk on the bottom and screwed up my water chemistry. I lost a tang the first day. My longnose hawk looked very stressed...

My new copperband butterfly isn't eating he's only been in the tank for a day but he doesn't seem interested in anything I have tryed. I've tryed frozen blood worms, frozen brine and mysis shrimp. what should I try or do u guys think he will come along? I know that are known to be picky eaters...

I was just curious I heard somewhere when you add new fish to your tank your not supposed to feed them for a day is this true if so what's the reasoning behind it

I need to build a canopy for my 6 foot 180. I have 2 400w MH that will be mounted in it and of course I will want to put some fans in but I have no idea on where to get started. I have tried to find some plans on line but have failed. I don't know how tall to make the thing. I'm not sure how far...

HelP! I am very new to coral keeping and over the last two weeks I have notices that the polyps on two Zoa colonies I have are just disapearing! The remaining ones are open and very happy looking but come morning some are just gone... It is only two colonies that are effected but they are going...

Saw some posts of a guy on another thread with some underwater adventures that I found highly interesting and gave me the idea to try to bring out some stories and pics of some of peoples water experiences, be it freshwater or saltwater.

Can this be done successfully i know it is hard to keep softies with acro because the alk is higher for acros and calcium and the lighting ..Now I have 250watt SE radiums going with vho's and keep my acro mid to high level for the light and flow of the vortechs if I keep the chalice on or close...

Hi everyone. I am relatively new to keeping SPS and thus far I have not fed my corals. I'm wondering what you would recommend I use. I've got some chalice, monti caps, a few acros, milli, and a few others. I assume they would also get some nutrition from addition of prepared fish food or...

Well I figured it was about time that I started a tank thread...... not much of a build anymore, but I did just recently upgrade from a 110 Equipment ~180 gallon glass tank with 2 corner overflows ~75 gallon 3 chamber acrylic sump ~Reef Octopus external skimmer rated for 450 gallons ~Mag 12...

After a two year search finally! Props to Aquatic Dreamer for finding it and Bongo Shrimp for finding them for me!!

I noticed several clusters of these growths in my sump tonight and would appreciate any input as to what they may be. They are attached to the glass and they seem to branch out like a vine. There seem to be some sort of "polyp" growing off the ends where the braches extend away from the glass...
