I think you may be right about the ammonia spike. I have enough live rock and gravel that the ammonia will eventually go to zero (and obviously, it...
For the past 4 months (now that I have an RO/DI system), I change 4-6 gallons each week. For my 45 gallon tank, that works out to 9%-13%. Every 4...
rking, I'm sure Amcarrig has already said this a million times before, but if you want to do a do-it-yourself grounding probe, the part in the water...
I've been battling green hair algae, and thought I had it on the run. But, my nitrates shot up to 20ppm last week and the algae started growing back...
He may have lost the antenna during a "wardrobe malfunction" while molting, or he may have gotten them stuck on something. Don't worry about the...
I have a "Mexican" turbo snail. At least, that's what the LFS called it. The snail is large, like other turbos, the shell has an alternating pattern...

A very Merry Christmas to you, too!

I'm so disgusted with my GHA problem, that I was considering tossing in the towel on the whole saltwater tank. But, I'm going to follow the advice:...
Is the skimmer 3 months old, or is the tank? New skimmers will often produce tons-o-bubbles. Let it operate for 10 days at a minimum setting (low...
Ooooh! Very good, Amcarrig! Karma for you!
T-5. And, yes, I use them -- I have the 24" Nova Extreme with two lunar lights and 4 bulbs. My only complaint is that they make the algae grow like...
