Doesn't the muriatic acid make your protien skimmer go nuclear. I used Mur. acid to kill aiptasia and I had to shut the Protein skimmer down. Thanks...
Hi Fishgills, I tried Emerald crabs, a Redsea Sailfin Tang, and a Sea Urchin. Nothing seems to eat it. They all poked at it but it's been me an my...
Yes Cynobacteria can form a reddish or greenish mat either on the substrate or on your L/R. It can even move onto the coral. Water movement is...
I uploaded som pix of my tank on Sunday. The site is there and I have a little camera icon next to my name BUT.....there are no pix?? there should be...
Thanks for the Karma....and according to Julian Sprung if you break the bubbles the spores are caught by the protien skimmer :-)
After two years of maintaining an almost problem free tank I started getting outcrops of Bubble Algae. The cause most likely was water quality or the...
Bubble Algae This topic has been moved to Algae by Matt Rogers.
Thanks Craig, It's amazing..the tanks is going on its 3rd year and I'm still finding sponges and pistachio nut shaped{their shell} filter feeders...
I'm glad you were joking ;) I would have done something drastic/stupid like pull the L/R and try and drill the worm out [smiley=rifle.gif]

I just went through this same problem with my tank. My problem turned out to be water quality. My membrane on my r/o was 3 years old. One of the...
That's what I've had to do. Pull the rock and scrub with a toothbrush. I also use a "Pickle spear" to get the smaller algae out of the...
Thanks for the encouragement. There are times when I get so frustrated. It seems just when I feel I'm getting it under control more pops up somewhere...
to be honest I wouldn't know where to put a feather duster. I mean do you lay them /it on the substrate? or stick them in a hole in the liverock?...
Hi Craig, I discussed this with Matt. I realized that I had not changed my membrane on the ro/di in 3 years. Since then the tank has been clearing...
I'm wondering now if I could do the same thing. I have a 20gal. tank split to make make two compartments. The 2nd compartment is where the protein...
