Ok I think I'm getting the cyno under control. I no longer have such a broad carpet of it on my sand bed. I still have a little on my LR, and a very small bit sand. I completly turn the lights off except for the moon light for about a week. I also added a second return spot for more flow. With...

That was a great help. It is called COPEPODS. I also notice that since they showed up all my green and purple film like algea has disappeared. I also have some barnicles on my turbo snails. Definitly a great site! Do you think it is safe to say my tank is done cycling? I still have the cyano...

I think I know what these little white bugs are on the glass but, I don't remember the name of them. I tried looking it up online but it's funny how when you don't what to find something, you always will, and now that I want to find out more info on these little white bugs I can't. So what are...

Oh wow! Thanks.

money not really worried about.

I've looked all around, and I can't seem to find the kind of controller/ monitor I want. I'm looking for one that can control water flow, light, dosing, and be able to tell me PH, amonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, and (if possible) phosphate level. I would also like it to be able to...

Ok, here are some pictures. I read a little on cyano, and I tried to some things that worked for other people to get rid of it. So I tried giving it less light, and it started to go down. My worry is... if that's really what it is, does that mean I wont be able to have a good light cycle again...

Just recently I notice that my tank is starting to look like a champagne glass. Also there is a blanket of bubbles on the bottum of the tank covering everything. I don't know why this is happening, and google was no help. Any thoughts on this? Oh, ya! The bubbles are getting trapped in the...

just a little bit, from some really good LR I bought. But most of it bleached and I don't think it's good anymore.

Just trying to figure this part out. How long does it take before you tank starts to grow coralline algea? What does the coralline algea need to grow in your tank? How do you get the purple and brighter colors? I'm really lost with all this. Thanks

I've had my serpent starfish for only a week in a half. The first night I put him in he lost a leg. Now a week and a half later, He lost two legs in one night. Will, he survive with just the two legs? How long does it take to grow hs legs back? The only reason I can come up with that he's...

I have a 2 tomato clown fish, one 2" long and the other is about an inch. Now, I've researched online and I know that female clown fish are bigger. The clown fish that's bigger has been flaring up his fins on his back and has been agressive to the other clown fish and the sailfin tang I have in...

Hmmmm... your probally right I might not have a big enough skimmer, or it's just crap. Thanks for all the everyone.

I do have a skimmer. I also have a 10 gal. sump with about 1lbs of live sand and chaeto algea, about 5lbs of live rock, and bio balls. All under a MH light. Is it common for a spike of organics after adding new tank mates?

I just noticed I have a larg build up of milky white bubbles in overflow (the part that's in the tank). It almost looks like bubbles from a bubble bath, but whiter. It wasn't like that before I went to work about 12 hours ago. I don't know if it has anything to do with the new starfish and the...
