    I have a 90 gallon reef and have had a happy and thriving tank for years. I recently switched out my 40 gallon sump to a 75 gallon sump and I thought it is going to be like a big water change. I added supplements coral food and my corals are dying. My pH is 7.2 (I know a little low), Kh 8...

    Bubble algea?

    Question: I've had some green algae on my return hose in my 90 gallon aquarium. I read that algae is good for nitrate control, etc. so I left it alone. I have started noticing clear bubbles in the algae. It does not look like bubble algae but I don't know what else it may be. Any...

    Something is eating my shrimp

    I am new to Reef Chronicles, but have had a reef tank for about a year. I recently upgraded from 50 gal to 90 gal with sump. I bought live rock at LFS, and since then, I have lost all of my shrimp except my pistol. I have seen something red and white that looks like the leg of a brittle star...

    Just started a sump and a little overwhelmed
