Scrape it off with a razor if your tank is made of glass. You can buy one in your lfs and it's pretty easy to get the coralline algae off. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I know, I've heard about their bad reputation. I'm just trying to find some cheap fish that can get along with a clownfish :( I've tried a coral beauty and a carpenter wrasse, but it didn't turn out too good Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, so I've had a lot of trouble with my fish over the past year, and I'm think about just adding damsels to my tank instead of other fishes. My tank is 65 gallons with about 55lbs of live rock. I have one ocellaris clownfish and one sea urchin, along with 6 nassarius snails. Do you think...

It never opened Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 0-5ppm I have a sea urchin and shrimp that are doing fine if that makes a difference. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It still hasn't come out once... I think it might be dead :( Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, I just got a feather duster 3 days ago. It has not opened once. I felt the tube, and it doesn't feel like there is anything in there. I drip acclimated it for an hour and 15 minutes, and the current tank inhabitants in my 65 gallon tank are a Midas Blenny, an ocellaris clownfish, one skunk...

It's a 65 gallon tank, it's only a 1 1/2 year old tank with one Molly, one clown, one shrimp, and one urchin. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, I'm going to get a Hawaiian Feather Duster next week, and I was wondering what do they eat? The only filter feeder food I have are Rotifers. Should I also buy some other type of food? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Pincushions are awesome and easy to care for. They need great water quality and will lose their spines if the water isn't. They eat coralline algae and other algae, but if you don't have enough of it, you can feed them nori. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'll check my alkalinity every day and add a buffer when needed. P.S I got an urchin after testing my water (all the test came out great including my alk and calcium) and so far it's doing great, eating all my coralline algae. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I never added a buffer for alkalinity, just pH. I'm just really confused how it could have gone up so much with just a 30% water change when my pH remained the same???? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Question: yesterday at my lfs, a woman tested my water and told me it came out as 2 dKH. She told me that's why my fish have been dying. I just did a water change, and I tested my water afterwords. It came out as 9 dKH. Is this just because I did a water change, and my KH went up? How does KH...
