Amazing though....I pulled my cleaner wrasse from the 125g (it's been alive for over a year now) and...
Dick....ok...love you too and newbies, it's not ok to do what I did. Sorry you wasted 2 hours on something you love. I did not mean to terminate the other fish and if I could give you a hug grandpa,...
Salt addict...it "is" just a temporary home. Would you be more comfortable in a box with nothing or with rocks and sand and stuff you are use to. Is a 40g breeder not a good quarantine tank? I...
I love your ability to be blunt, dick....lol. I have read so much and have so much more to read, I know. For all those scourers of information on keeping a saltwater tank, Dick is right...that is...
I have to chime in too.... My 125g reef tank is experiencing RS also. I have a nitrate reactor, phosban reactor, carbon, and still have RS. My lights were recently changed but I heard lights don't...
I have been searching for a good spec of an Achilles tang for 2 years and have finally found one. He is about 5" and has no HLLE, or ich, or no sunken belly. I put him on hold for a day and during...

What up bud? You are walking into an unbelievable hobby and great group of people here at TR (that excludes me of coarse).
But why wouldn't the reactor take care of that? Just give it time huh? I have bigger probs now....my temps are jumping from 78-84 randomly...this freakn weather is insane....it's warmer in...
:p:showoff:So my question is now this: On my 125g I use to run a dual ATS and had no algae to speak of, but my NO3 would sit at 20, which I personally thought was ok having softies, LPS, some clams...
Thanks for the advice, yes, yes of coarse I have check all of levels, i know why I have algae...my RO water slipped to 25 ppm...my question is what kind is it? Not bubble, hair, slime...I have all...
Looks like something my kids would do....throw food in my tanks.
Amazing, I cannot find it anywhere.....????? searched the web, nada. Maybe I'll brush it all off and see if it grows again.
What ever it is it sucks! hooked the ATS back up to see if it makes a difference. Dont know if it is Dictyota because it really has no leaf, but I looked it up and there are about 4,563,234...
6 months at least....within two....you should see improvement in pooh collection, but my ASM didnt really kick a#@ until 6 months in....adjust, adjust, adjust.
Oh thanks anyway....it was turned off for 4 days, so I fed it through the top (where I would relieve gas)(not that kinda gas) and checked my NO3 in the tank and it was 0...something is working...dont...
Lol...scrap the glass...I know what ya mean. Cool that you are going back to school, its always a good thing to learn something new, no matter how old you are...
mine is everywhere and looks almost gray....it has covered the underside of my montiopora and is growing on my clams!!! Algae expert, where are you?
not a single person knows what this is?
So I have been running my self-built reactor for about 2 mo. now. The thing is amazing? For having 20 fish and 40 plus corals in a 125g, I have nitrate of 0-5ppm. My tank actually looks better when...
I guess the basement will just have to remain looking like pooh, hows your boy CJ?...any new pics of the corner tank?

I have recently got some algae for free, can anyone help me with this one?....its brown, stringy...doesnt like...
Guess I will return the paint....not gonna take a chance....invested tooooo much.
i cant decide. Will paint fumes hurt a fish tank? I was going to paint the floor in my basement and was wondering if I should do some covering or shutting off of pumps? My 125g is open, along with...
So for the last year I have had a PFO ballast that I bought online through Ebay, nothing against Ebay, they are wondderful. For starters the "gentleman" who sold it to me said it would run 2x...
I have 2 sixlines, a fairy, and a yellow coris....mine must be ra-tards
Darn wormmies, I just lifted up a rock with some zoas on it that wasn't doing so good and found 2 six inch worms under it....with freaking babies to boot!!!! Almost had to put my whole hand in a bowl...
Thanks for covering for me CJ. Laura, hi. I had, yes had, a goniopora stokesi. For a long time I stayed on top of everything: the water quality, feeding cyclopeeez, Fe supplements, and array of...
Yellowtail Coris....found it
Gotcha Laura...who would buy that much stuff...lol....Thats what I thought CJ, but I looked in a extensive book and saw no look-a-likes in the fairy dept. It was tagged a "red wrasse". Didn't know...

I have never got my nitrates below 20 til a couple days ago. Over the past year my corals have grown rapidly and are very healthy. My motto is: if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think there is so...
