Can someone please advise again... We had a long green hair algea a couple of months ago. We attributed it to the amount of light natural and artificial coming into the room and the increase in temperature from the summer sun. It has returned again only worse it seems. We are in the throws of...

Can anyone lend me some advice on what to do to get rid of our green hair algea? It has been getting progressively worse. I initially started feeding less as that is usually the #1 cause, then I reduced the amount of time the lights were on. We added 3 more turbo snails, to have 2 eaten by...

Morning all, I have been on the internet trying to research the RO units. I figured what better place to truly find out what type of system would be most beneficial which producing enough but not going over the top. I was looking briefly through past threads but honestly, I am soooo tired my...

I want to thank all of you who posted to my other post "Hermit Crab acting weird again". Devestation has happened... I came down this morning and initially was very realived as it appeared that his endless molt may have finanlly ended. Well, what I believe to have happened is our Puffer got...

Well all, I am proud to tell you that I have just taken things to a new level. I have finally invested in a QT tank. Now I just pray that I won't need it. I figured that we are starting to just have too much money invested in this hobby to go messing around and taking chances and hoping our...

We need some help in a bad way. I came downstairs this morning to find my 2 clownfish showing black spots on them. I've been Googling and it appears as though it is black ick. I've been reading on treating them, and how to get rid of it. The main problem being... we don't have a QT tank. It...

Good day all, Yet again I am turning to all of you for some advice... We are in month 4 and things are great! We have been very successful with keeping all of our fish, inverts, and keeping our peramiters in check (knock on wood). My only concern is the behaviour of my hermit crab again. He...

Can anyone please help me and tell me the correct way to clean LR. We are battling a Cyano outbreak right now. It isn't bad, it seems to like only 2 of my rocks. I keep cleaning it off with the squeegy and it takes about 4 days to come back but it is coming back. I try to clean it that way...

Where do I start??? I have quite a few questions to try to put into one thread. First off, what would this scum be floating on top of the water? It is kinda browny red... we had a diatom bloom last week that has cleaned up nicely. One thing I have noticed on some of our live rock are little...

I have just noticed little white pellet like pegs laying on my LR. They are lying on some of the LR on the algea. They are about 2mm in length. Can anyone tell me what these may be? It doesn't look like it is fish waste. Considering they don't usually swim that high in the aquarium. Any...

Well we've just suffered our first casualty... Not really sure as to why. All the levels are there. The Nitrate/ite are reading 0.00, amonia is 0.00, PH is staying around 7.6 to 7.8, and salt has remained at 1.021 since we started the aquarium. We've been given the go ahead that they cycle...

K. We are going on day 6 of our aquarium. Trying to be patient...(finding it hard) I want fish... Trying to read the whole thing and understand about the cycle. Our nitrate and nitrite levels have been low. How do we know about the amonia that I'm reading about? We have approx. 25 pds. of...

Me again, Does anyone have experience with crabs? We just added a crab on Sunday when we were starting our aquarium and last night it looks as though he has ghosted himself. There is a curled almost cartilege that has some pinchers like the crab and a whispy substance surrounding it? Do they...
