How much total water volume do you have in the system?
Looks like a type of film algae. Take the magnet out and scrub it off, should come right off.
Great article, nice read.
18k and 420nm are both on the blue end, did you mean 10K? I've run all sorts of combinations in my old 6 bulb T5 fixture. I found the best for color...
There could be other factors at play here. First, are you able to return it b/c you aren't "satisfied" with its skimming? Did you read any warranty...
It means something is irritating it. I have a green slimer and if I get near it it will slime, but it always stops pretty quickly. Some must either...
If you want it, go for it, the dimensions are much better then a 65 tall. However, you may want to piece your own "kit" together. The canopys you...
The temp swing probably really stressed out the fish. Give it a few days to see how the hippo reacts, but keep in mind they are very prong to ich....
I have a CB with a Crocea clam and he's never gone after it, although he does occasionally nip my acans, but overall a pretty good citizen. It can be...

It's not a big deal. There's iron in the water anyways. I've had steel shot fall into my tank after a thermometer broke inside the tank with no...
Your nitrates and phosphates are out of control. To me, that usually means over feeding whether it be fish or corals. How much do you feed and how...
So many options. 2x150w MH pendants, 2x250w pendants, 4x54w T5, 6x54 T5, MH/T5 combo fixtures, LEDs, Retro kits. Depends on what you want and your...

1. Get a reef ready tank. You won't have to worry about the overflow failing and flooding your house. 2. Get a sump with refugium, ditch the...
In stead of getting new one, try to reposition it, or move it around to direct the flow in another direction, such as having it face a side of the...
I think the iodine kit was a waste of money, you'll use it once or twice and never use it again, there's really no point, unless, as already...
I've found acans to be very hardy. I've dropped mine several times, fragged it and had a sps frag fall into it. It does sound like the initial sting...
I would suggest neither of them. I have a 55 and the width sucks. It's very hard to aquascape and make it look nice. I would go with a 40 breeder or...
I agree about the Septic tank, the salt water will kill the bacteria in the tank. I would also not pour it down the drain if you have copper...
