    Phosphates and filtration

    Hey guys I own a RSM 250 and I will comment on the Green Hair Algae. I just came out of a 3 months battle with it. The clean crew is an absolute need but it is not the only answer. Phosband Reactor helps with the battle as well. Keeping up with your tank husbandry is key! I was doing 15% every...

    Is this a bad sign for my frogspawn?

    Thanks for the replies and interesting articles @frisbee specially the second one about reproduction. I think it was last month that I noticed that a tentacle from the same frogspawn was on the sand bed just floating around, i thought maybe a crab or something had snipped it and didn't pay much...

    Is this a bad sign for my frogspawn?

    Hi All, Yesterday I noticed a head on my frogspawn not extending its "tentacles?" I don't see bare bone but can this be the beginning of something bad or is it normal behavior? My water parameters are fine and I'm doing a WC tomorrow. If it's a bad sign what can I do to help the situation?

    NEED HELP!!! Catching Clown Goby

    I agree with the home made bottle trap. When I had to catch my orange spotted goby I tried a couple of traps. What ended working for me was my home made bottle trap. I used a poland spring water bottle because the fish was small and I felt the 2L bottle would be too big. With my bottle trap in...

    Truth or Myth?

    What lead me to post this question, is the fact that a couple of days ago I was doing some research on an Aquamaxx HOB Skimmer and I came across a video where this guy had his skimmer on a timer. His reasoning was that the skimmer wasn't collecting waste 24x7 and that he just wanted to extend...

    Truth or Myth?

    Hi Diana, Thanks for the response I too have been running my Skimmer and CPE 24X7. I actually started my tank around the same time as you, it will me two years in May for me. So far so good for my tank, besides an green hair algae issue that I just recovered from. Oh and my corals are...

    Truth or Myth?

    My LFS guy told me yesterday that I shouldn't keep my Skimmer on 24X7. He said I could turn it off during the day and just run it at night. He also said the I don't need to keep my activated carbon in my tank all the time either. That I should run my tank without it for about two weeks every...
