I'm glad I'm not the only one with a territorial clown. Coral Reefer I feel you pain. I've had a few mishaps along the way, but my consistent...
Hi Nemo, Candy cane are susceptible to infection if their "skin" gets damaged. They are also vulnerable to algae. I had my candycane get damaged...
Looks like you have a pretty decent system. Polyps are easy, so don't worry to much. Just make sure they are in the middle height of your tank and...
My preference is leave the lights on for almost a full time when cycling. Sure, there is the potential to grow algae, but there's always a potential...
If it were me I'd add a couple of powerheads at the bottome behind your rock. Aim them at the side wals for wrap-around current and put them on a...
Hello Urban, Sounds like you are not getting a good vortex in your downflow. If you don't have foam in your overflow you chould try adding a...
Since it appeared quickly and your cleaner crew won't touch it, it sounds like cyanobacteria. Not a big problem if you get in under control. Just...

Michael, You can see your excitement in all of your posts. The Visi-Therm heaters are great. I had one myself then moved to a titanium heater....

Hi Nemo, Carbon is primarily used for chemical filtration for cloudy water. It does remove some nitrates, but there are better media for this....
HI Nemo, Congratulations! I know it's been a hard road to this end. You've got the exact right idea, run two lights and then upgrade to three...
Nice looking tank, Matt. I bet it looked silly without coral, but look at it now. I like the symetrical channel down the middle. Better look than...
Hi Rashr, I think Tangster's message is getting lost in translation. What we are both suggesting is that you split your 10 Gal tank in two and...
Hey Nemo, I talked with my friend who had a nova exreme light. He reminded me that they have ~2" in the back of the light that holds the...
Hi Rashr, You are correct in your assumption that a complex fuge/sump design is not necessary. However, you will want to separate your sump from...
Mine comes from Catalina at ~8.3 every time. Haven't used it in a while, but I'll bet it hasn't changed. :)
