Frogspawn will do best if you can give it high light and not too strong of a current. Is it extending at night? If its extending trying feeding it...
OK, PH like other parameter has “acceptable ranges” and you are at the lower end, yet its still ok. Since PH makes it easier for your corals to take...
I hadn’t read your sig line – K2’s are pushing 600 GPH each right? In a 39 – that would be a turn over of 30. I use 3 VorTech 40’s at 3,000 GPH...
Two topics come to mind here – GPH and flow. Rule of thumb on the GPH is to turn the tank volume somewhere around 8-10 per hour. Right there you...
I'd keep the bio-ball, they have a bad unfounded rep. As long as water trickles over them and they are not submersed all works well.....very well.
I still suggest getting to the route of the cause, if your carpet smells because your cat wizzed on it – clean the carpet, don’t spray Lysol !...
ReefSparky – when I use to use API or the like I would call my kids in and let them tell me the results…I am not colorblind, but I suppose at the...
I’ll add on to Daniel’s thought since I agree with his philosophy – need to resolve the nutrients fueling the Hair Algae. Hair Algae factors are...
I use a PH and Calcium probe (pinpoint) and I prefer the Salifert test kits for accuracy.
Coralline Algea grows in the dimmest of area’s and in the brightest and everything in between – but the shock of moving the algae from one to another...
In my opinion, no – do not tee any of the return water back to the sump. On my 180 I use a 55 gallon sump in the basement and I run a 6000 GPH...
I concur with the dislike of quarantine tanks due to the addition of unnecessary stress and not to mention cost and burden on you. In the past I...
Kelley, not to belabor this but again I would like to questions the details. When you say : Do you have a new tank that is currently cycling,...
Hello Kelley, you weren’t descriptive enough to elicit an accurate response. If the rock came out of an established tank and has remained in an...
Water changes are not mandatory – just a means to an end. Two main things, essential element replacement and removing the waste at the end of the...
Hello. I am confused on over all size – but appears as if this will work. Pumping up to the refugium than the water returns in a cascade effect?...
Hello Earl and welcome ! Well, I am rather far from an expert – but I like to poke fun at those who consider themselves such. Anywho, you have a...
Return line at the bottom? that would cause a siphon on a power outage and drop all the tank water into the sump ? or am I misunderstanding you?

can you zoom in? the fsecond picture you posted in your first post looked like a button polyp (which probably wouldn't be growing under a rock !...
