Could also be green dot algae. I have it in my nano tank. It's not coralline, but is a vibrant green and is a PITA to get off with a magnet...
I had a serious derbesia outbreak in my 20G tank, and have one right now in my 12G. Lawnmowers won't touch the stuff. I just pulled and plucked at...
With a 26G tank, you can get away with T5 lights, like a 4 bulb fixture will do the trick. If you had a skimmer right now, it would go nuts and...
I have read that getting them younger will have better success with aiptasia than mature ones. Be careful that you actually get true peppermints and...
I had 2 aiptasias again recently on my zoa frags. If your rocks are easy to remove, put them in a bucket then boil water and squirt the beasts with...
If it's not actually zoapox or a gram positive bacteria, the Furan2 won't do much good. I had a colony of pinks that had zoapox and the Furan2 took...
Be careful with spray paints. Most are enamel based and can flake off over time. Latex and epoxy based paints are safer for saltwater aquarium use....
Most places will not have guarantees with saltwater fish. The reason is because the general public thinks it's ok to put "Nemo in a goldfish bowl...
Could be a fireworm too. It's hard to tell. Fireworms will snack on certain anemones and other fleshy corals. I know they are a potentially good...
Sorry to hear that. :( You can do a 20% water change as well, every 3rd or 4th day. Honestly, even at 20ppm nitrates, your tank is safe. Just keep...
I would make a pest trap out of an empty water bottle. Cut the top off and flip it inside out and glue it. Let it dry. This will have the opening...
It could have been a parasite as well. Did you happen to introduce anything new in the tank, like coral frag, more live rock, clam, etc? I bought...
Now that is funny!!! (referring to the photo above) Legally, you may not be able to sue for damages and win, unfortunately. I had a sickly Petco...
In case you haven't heard my other reply, the blue color is most likely due to dyed water the store you bought it from being injected into it. I...
Blue is not a normal color for anemones. It is a known practice that some retailers will add a dye into their water to cause the anemone to take on...
BRS suggests putting the material in before the water, well at least the Mg anyway. If you have 1g of water in the jug, you won't have any room to...
You could make your's a continuous siphon by drilling a a small hole into your siphon PVC at the top and glueing an air nipple into that hole and...
I think your biggest restrictive point is the overflow box and siphon itself. One my previous reply, I would suggest using a drilled back tank and...
Another solution would be to drill the back wall of your tank and run the drain directly from that. If you look in my gallery, I have pics of my...
Leave about 1" from the top of the jug, so just below where the neck cap starts. Make sure you pour the mix in first, then add the water.
