    Dead clam?

    Thanks for your answer... Unfortunately i don't know what went wrong... I got it 2 weeks ago, it seemed to be fine, until last night... It was still open, but something didn't seem right... Should i already remove it fro the tank to avoid anything going bad for my water? Sent from my iPhone...

    Do you think a reactor like "FMR75 Fluidised Reactor" would be a good addition? thanks

    RSM 250, Replacing the 1200l/h pump and algae issues

    Wll, I already tested phosphates and I have zero... I believe this reading is misleading though for the same reason Ynot says... the algae is "eating" it all to expand... same for nitrates... Do you believe I should try to raise the magnesium level as well? or this may cause additional...

    RSM 250, Replacing the 1200l/h pump and algae issues

    Thanks a million for your reply YNot, The algae I have is Bryopsis algae like you did.. I already changed my T5 to LEDs.... I guess I should reduce the amount of time the lights are on, this will not harm the corals? ( for the moment I have a controller which is emulating sunrise sunset...

    RSM 250, Replacing the 1200l/h pump and algae issues

    Hi guys, greetings from Belgium, My secondary pump is out of use... do you think an aqua medic ocean runner 3500 will create too much wave for the aquarium? should I go for something around 1200l/h as the original one? I have one more question, I have a great algae problem going on...
