Thanks.

Just wanted opinions on one vs the other or use both? Thoughts?

Yes Frankie. I remembered you saying you were building a house last time we spoke. Yes I still have my tank as you can see from my original post, about a year ago my last fish died (most lasted about 10 years and my corals were dying so I felt I was getting what I call "old tank syndrome". It...

Hey Frankie, don't know if you remember me or not, but we met several years ago here in Charleston. I think I got a couple of frags from you. I met you at your house and saw your amazing tank. If this is the same person, how are you and are you still in the area?

Angel fish can nip at them as well. Right?

Thanks. That is what I thought I remembered

Little background here, I have had my saltwater reef/fish tank for over 10 years. About 2 years ago I just decided "turn the tank off to rest"." I decided to continue to do water changesto keep my live rock going, etc. I literally turned the lights off as I had become lax and algae had taken...

I'll get pics on here in a few days.

Hello all, It has been a while since I have been here. I have been reefing for close to 3 years now and I think I have finally reached balance. Has anyone else experienced that? What I mean is, the water changes, chemicals, temp, lighting, etc...seem to be perfect. It has been that...

Thanks for the input. I will move it up in my tank and keep you posted.

I just got a beautiful pipe organ colony from liveaquaria.com. It seems to be doing well in my tank. I know that it is a soft coral that some say is a hard coral. I have googled the name and get very little info on the species. Does anyone know much about them? I have it on the bottom of my...

It can be complicated...but after a while you learn that it is like a garden You will make mistakes, but that is ok. Learn from your mistakes and still make them again...

I actually thought they were cool looking. I just wanted to make sure they would not take over. I have a corner of hair algae that I have never been able to get rid of. But otherwise tank looks good. Also have some purple macro algae.

So I just saw this growing in my tank. So I should get rid of this asap? Including the rock it is growing on. Is this worse than hair algae?

Normal If you get really heavy coat every day then, too much nutrients. Lights could have something, but more likely nutrients. Phosphate could be a problem. Darrell

Beautiful...What kind of camera did you use? Darrell

Hello Craig This is one of the best resources of info in the world. I am just getting back involved with the room. Darrell

Hello all, Like I said I have not been back in a while. Summer, work, etc. I have been busy learning things though. I look forward to getting back in the conversation.:bluenod: Darrell
