I discovered 3 aiptasias growing on my live rock yesterday (3 month old tank). I obviously want to get rid of it before it spreads, but it is in an...
Welcome! This is a great site - I've learned a lot here from the various experts.
Yesterday I came home from work to find hair algae all over my tank - especially on my live rock. The usual green stuff, but also some gross looking...
Seems pretty good. I just notice that it doesn't come with legs to mount on the aquarium, so you will have to hang it from the ceiling. As long as...
Not sure what you mean by "stuff floating". Are we talking tiny white particles (which could be debris from your sand, or pods, or bits of fish food...
Bioballs do not have anoxic zones which can convert nitrates back to nitrogen gas. That's why bioballs are considered by many to be nitrate...
I have 2 light fixtures for my tank - one is PC (odyssea), and one is T5. HUGE difference in light output, same price. My advice - do some price...
You guys are right, of course. As I said before, I TOTALLY see the logic of a QT. I just hate how it stresses the fish to be in a small, empty...
The next fish I want to get for my tank is a small angel. I do have some soft corals (finger leather, zoas, star polyp, mushrooms) - and I know that...
I have always been told that I should keep new fish in a quarantine tank for 2-3 weeks before adding them to the DT - and the logic of this makes...
Thanks Dr. Frag. The company I bought the skimmer from actually sent me a pre-made mesh wheel, but no instructions on its installation - I'll check...
I use an octopus xtreme 160 skimmer - got it about 2 months ago. I am noticing a reduction in the output of skimmate lately, and when I look at the...
I've had my new yellow tang for 4 days now, and he is still very shy and stressed. He has horizontal white stripes down his sides, which I know are...
If those measurements are correct, your tank is likely cycled. This doesn't mean that you can indiscriminantly add livestock to it, though. Each...
I use the API kit, although I also have the Seachem master kit. I like the API better because I find it easier to read (better color contrasts)....
One suggestion that comes to mind, other than shutting the light for a while, is investing in some phosphate absorbing material. You don't...
What flow rates are good for green hairy mushroom corals and finger leathers? I currently have them under moderate-strong flow, and am not sure...
Mine is a green ricordea and a capnella. Will post pics later tonight. Tank was up and running 2 months before adding these.
I don't know a lot about retro kits, but I do have the odyssea PC 4x65W. I know that the fixture gets really hot and the fans are inadequate. So my...
bump. Any suggestions?
