Nice job. Looks real clean.

Great job.

So I got list of things I'm going to get in the next few weeks to get my 55g ready for corals. Skimmer- Eshopps PSK-100 CUC- about 20 snails & 20 crabs from reefcleaners.org Koralia 4 Nova extreme pro 6x52w 48" Additional tools: API Test kit for Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites, Calcium, ph and...

I love reading your stories Floyd. I'm nice to see your doing a difference in the world. haha.

Left to Vegas for a long weekend and totally forgot about the sump. It was a hot weekend too so the sump ran dry for about a day. Almost every thing was lost except for some mushrooms and a clown.

Thanks every one. Then mostly likely I will be getting the T5's. I started reading up on them. How many fixtures should I get? Is there a preferred brand or are they all the same?

Thanks for the input guys. Yup no test kit what so ever. There are a lot of things that I didn't do right that's the reason I want to start again the right way. I would test my nitrates/nitrites at the LFS tho. I wouldn't do water changes that often either. Maybe once every other month. I know...

So I've had my tank for a few years now. But all I have in there now is LR, LS and two damsels. For the past year or so I’ve been dealing with cyano and couldn't get rid of it. So after reading a lot of stuff on here I'm ready to do it again. I have a 55g, 1 white and 1 half white half blue...

Some parts do look like cyano. Like Austinsdad said check your phosphate level. Have you used tap water for your tank?

They could be feather dusters and aren't harmfull. Is the hair algea green? Try posting a new thread and include your tank size, what you have in it (fish, coral, snails, crabs), hours you leave the light on.

3 months is fairly new. If you want to add corals i would say mushrooms and zoanthids. Try those and see how it goes.

Have you tried posting this question in the FW forum? I'm sure they will help too.

You can keep injecting them. I had the same problem a few years back and that got rid of them. Shouldn't be hard to find them cuz if I'm not mistaken they like light. I know you probably have hundreds of them but you can "crop dust" them. They're hungry little monsters and will grab it.

Welcome. You will learn a lot here. I know I have.

The spots should be fine. The other algae your talking is it like a red/brown "blanket" on the rock? Can you post a pic?
