    Urgent Is this cyanobacteria

    Wal-Mart and many convenience stores sell purified (ro) and distilled water. You can use that to do frequent water changes. It's still a lot better...

    Urgent Is this cyanobacteria

    In that sense, yes. The same is true for any "nuisance" algae- it's feeding on the nutrients that would otherwise provoke health issues for your...

    Urgent Is this cyanobacteria

    Can you get RO/DI water from your LFS? You can use that, and just vacuum out the cyano when you do water changes. Also, make sure you're not...

    Urgent Is this cyanobacteria

    Does appear to be cyano. It's not really *dangerous* as long as it doesn't grow over corals, etc. However, it is a sign that you have excess...

    New Tank, Stumped

    For a short period, yes, as long as you have a good skimmer. I wouldn't wait too long though, and be careful not to overfeed.

    What's the Best Salt?

    The few tests I've seen have shown that Coralife and (regular) Instant Ocean are low on Cal, Mag, and Alk. That would be fine for a FO tank, but for...

    New Tank, Stumped

    Fighting

    Personally, I'd recommend taking them both back to the LFS. Damsels do best in a school in a species-specific tank. The only thing worse than having...

    55 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium sitting dry

    Your sig says black and white Ocellaris. From what I see here, that would be correct.
