Yep thats a sponge. I would get rid of it. Sponges aren't always harmless. I once had a sponge smother a colony of green star polyps. They also...
Sometimes they just shrivel up. Mine often does it when i feed the tank. I think it is trying to bring in food. Other times it does it for no...
I use the BRS soda ash and dose 2 part. Remember to keep you mag high. Also, do not change your alk too rapidly. However, I'm not sure that this is...
About a year ago, I had the exact same question. I had T5's on my tank. I had a ton of SPS that were doing very well. The problem was that I had to...
Looks like ORA red planet. A healthy one too. Keep it in high light.
I would go with the interceptor treatment. I'm sure a vet would give you a prescription if you explain the problem. I successfully beat red bugs a...
Hey guys. Sorry I've been MIA for a few months. The good news is that I think that I beat the dinoflagellates! I haven't seen them for a few months...
Starting over is not an option. I'm not sure how much this BioDigest would help for two reasons. First, BioDigest is meant to improve water...

So.... I have dinoflagellates... :angry: Confirmed it under the microscope. I am glad that I participated in this thread a while back. I am...

Hmm, I see what you are saying now. So plants and other photosynthetic organisms use CO2 (and water) to produce carbon sources (like sugars) and O2....
Well the Hanna calcium checker is digital. Its somewhere around 50 bucks. Has pretty good reviews. I have a hanna phosphate checker, so I will use...
Sorry guys, I think this was the ultimate hijack!
Oh I think I see now (since you added that last sentence). It seemed like you meant that you were dosing nitrate for the denitrifying bacteria. So...
Again, very interesting. However, I am not really following why you would dose nitrate for denitrifying bacteria. I understand that nitrate is the...
Yeah you can siphon it off, but that won't eliminate the source of the problem (excess phosphates and/or nitrates). If there are excess nutrients in...
A few weeks when I first cycled my tank. Every now and again I will have a smaller outbreak lasting about a week. They will disappear when the...
