We bought a Pick Tip (Haitian) Anemone about 3 weeks ago. He had moved himself in the tank a couple of times and now seems very happy where he is at. We feed him a feeder fish twice a week. Anyway, two days ago I spotted what you see in the picture. Looks to me like it's a baby anemone. Right...

Yes, it almost looks like dust. It is laying on top of the sand bed and is covering our base rock.

Brown algae has quickly taken over our 125 gallon tank!! Is this unhealthy for my fish and how do we get rid of it??

Thank you for help and advice. All 4 of our LFS have given us the same advice and obviously it has been wrong. They all have "No return policies." Looks like we may be losing some fish :(

We have a 125 gallon tank, one heater, two 402 power heads, 3 404 Fluval filters, 35 lbs of Argonite Sand, about 10 lbs of live rock and I would say about 60+ lbs of base rock. We have one Clown, one Clown Sweetlips, one Firefish, one Serpent Starfish and 4 crabs. Water temp is consistent at...

Tonight I did a 30% water change in my 125 gallon tank that has been up and running for about a week and a half because of high levels of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. I had these levels tested at our LFS and that was their suggestion. Before the water change, the salinity level was at .022...
