Hmmm I wonder could this be causing it. A few weeks ago my floor and stand got wet. Maybe it became uneven and causing too much pressure on the front glass..... Time to shim

Was doing a water change on this aqueon 55 gallon I have had up and running 9 years. Never moved it from the spot it's in. It's on a full stand and leveled since day 1. Today after the 20% water change, I noticed real small air bubbles in the right seam. From the top to the middle are these...

Do you think I'm not feeding them enough and they are trying to get food from the corals or something. I feed them once a day. After having them so long I would hate to get rid of them but they are destroying everything I add and it's just a waste of money. And the funny part is a few years ago...

So I have had the same clowns for 6 years. Lately it's like they have went nuts! No matter what I put in the tank they attack it to death. It started with some Duncans. They attacked it CONSTANTLY! Smashed their faces into it and started grabbing the tentacles and snatching them. The 9 headed...

Hey there!! I just came back to the site. Been dealing with life and still fighting cancer but I'm feeling good lately! Just redid my 90 gallon since it was so neglected. So I'm back to the obsession..... I mean addiction..... I mean the hobby lol.

So I got a magnetic frag rack and moved the duncans to the other side of the tank and out of view. My clowns are scared of the dark so from now on I'll feed the corals at night and the clowns during the day way on the other side of the tank.

Hey everyone! glad to be back posting! Finally kicking cancer's but! But I have a problem. I bought a big colony of Duncans and my clowns that I have had for years saw me feeding it mysis and now they are tearing it apart thinking it's mysis shrimp in it all the time to the point the duncan...

Hey guys. It's been a LONG time since I posted on here. Cancer had a strong grip on me but I'm back now ;) I know this is a loaded question but what do you guys think about not having a skimmer on a 55gallon lps, softie tank. I have a eshopps skimmer on it now but i have a very low bio load...

Wow been a long time since I been on here. This cancer is kicking my butt so i haven't been posting much. But I have a question. It might be a dumb question but do leather corals excrete toxins or do they have to be close to a coral to release it. I have some ricordias that were fine until I...

In the 10 years I been reefing I have never come across this algae before. I have taken every rock and scrubbed the life out of it. Did a huge water change. Added phosphate media, clean everything I can clean including skimmer and sump. And this crap came back the next day with a vengance...

Hey all. Sorry I been gone so long. Still battling cancer. It sucks! But Anyone ever had this type of algae? In the 10 years I been reefing and the MANY tanks I have setup, none of them have had this brown, furry kinda algae. It's not bad cause it wipes right off, easily come off the glass and...

As far as epoxy I ALWAYS use Epo Putty. For the last 12 years. it feels like chewing gum. You can mold it underwater and it does not make the skimmer go crazy one bit. http://www.marcorocks.com/aquascape-supplies/epo-putty-100g/

Looks like normal green film algae. Does it rub right off?

Thanks alot Jeff. I turned off my whites and just run the blues and also have been dosing 1ml of 3% peroxide per 10 gallons a day. Day 4 and rocks look about 65% better!!

Thanks Jeff I'm going to look into that! I used some dr tims one and only and then some Seachem Stability a month later and a few days later boom rocks were covered. Manual removal wont do anything. Grows right back.

Could be a bacterial film or as I just found out it seems to be just some film algae that also grows on the back glass. I let mine "Cake up" So to speak. Just got a Denture brush and went to town on my rocks and added some margarita snails. Made a nice dent in it. As for the film on top I'm...

Ok this is getting annoying. I have this white "Film" All on my back glass and rocks. No snails will touch it. Troches, Nerite, Margarita or turbos. Also its making my sand clump up. There is no cyano ( I know what that is. Had it long time ago) I have tried wet skimming, Water changes, Dr. Tims...

Thanks alot!
