I started a 60g reef tank a few weeks ago and I have what looks like grass growing, idk if it's hair algea or not But if anyone recognizes this I'd like to know how to get rid of it, thanks!

Hello everyone, tody I'll be buying two mushrooms for 5 bucks each but the won't be on frag plugs, how would I get them to stay on rocks without floating away? These are my first mushrooms Thanks!

I went to the water store today because I'm literally two blocks away to see if the had ro/di water They dont have it but they said they have purified water Is this safe to use? Or no?

Sorry to hear that I bought a few peppermint shrimp hoping theyd take care of them but the haven't touched them yet

Thanks for the info im going to try the shrimp first then if it doesn't work I'll try other methods I don't like adding the chems to my water but if I have to I will

it's the first one, how can i prevent them from coming back?

I know what they're called but don't know how to spell it so I'm not going to butcher the name lol but I have the brown nems that can over run the tank. Believe theyre also called glass nems But anyone know how to get rid of this problem They killed my torch coral :/

I always forget the pic! Here it is

This is my 30g tank and I'm wondering if I should provide more gaps and arch ways between my rocks Say I do this, would the more flow promote more life on the rocks?? I'm new to this sorry if this topic has been covered many time Thanks!! :)

If I were to add bio balls to my filter, would it help reduce nitrates?

Thanks, I'll look into the chaeto It's an aquatic pse-1 It has h protein skimmer/uv sterilizer/ then a place for any type of filter media. It has two spots where I can put stuff after I remove the uv sterilizer and filter I have now, it's about a foot long about 7" deep and about 3" wide

M thinking about making my filter a HOB refugium but I'm not sure what To do about the lighting Am I supposed to leave the light above it on all day and night? And what should I put in it?

Are they slow growers? And special needs they require??

Really? Here's a better pic of the coral, the told me octopus so I assumed it was, Ive only had my tank for about 3 months so ion still learning all the corals haha

Got a new frag today but it wasn't labeled at all and no one knew what it was, that's pretty bad I know, haha but this is it next to the octopus coral sorry if it's blurry
