I have a Red Reef 75 Gallon + Sump, 2 PHs, Pr Skimm, pH 8.0, Dk 11, Ca425, Mg1250, sp 1.025, T 78 F, 0 Amm/Nit/Nitrate, Po4 0.75. Developing red-green sea grass? All over Tank bottom (No substrate) and LR.

I have a water filtration system in my home that removes Chlorine, heavy metals, particulate matter with a RO Alkali filter I used. What's the best way to siphone? I have on of those large devices for water changes that use gravity but doesn't create enough neg pressure to remove.

Here's a pic. Amm/Nit/Nitrate 0.

I have a Red Bloom all over my LR and bottom of tank. It's friable and easily blown away w turkey baster. Temp 78, Sp Gr 1.025, pH 8.0, Alk Dk 11, Ca 425, mg 1250, Po4 initially 1.5 (Did water change and added Phos lowering resin bags now 0.75). New aquarium with Live Rock purchased from active...

Can I use an Algae clip like that used for Tangs?

BEst way to feed a Fox Face? Pellets seem to be eaten by my Clown and Pink Tail trigger before he can get to them

I have been using Coralife Marine salt. My tank has a sump. I added an air stone to the sump. Will this aid in gas exchange? OK, I did two 5 gallon water changes Monday and another Wed. Bought Seachem marine Buffer and had the two component Bionic Calcium Buffer system. Started doing partial...

I have a glass cover. Up till this week had only done 1 partial water change. Tanks been running for 11 weeks (Used Cured LR and Biospira). Had yet to detect a spike in Nitrite, Nitrate or Ammonia. Was told not to do PWCs too often. Did a 10 gallon change yesterday.

Been a while since I was on the site. Took advice and slowed things down a bit. I have a 90 gallon Tank w 80 lbs of Live rock that I set up Jan. 22nd. Had a diatom bloom in early february. Lost some fish early on and took the slow route since then. I added a CUC (Turbo, Nassarus, Tonga snails...

I've been adding it to the food. Should I add it directly to the tank?

OK. I keep the SG on the main tank at around 1.018-1.019. I assume this will be a long process. The tank is FOWLR (Plus a CUC, 1 Long Tentacle Anemone which is well, and an Urchin). Should I use copper in the QT tank since the blue tangs already there and watch the rest? Will copper destroy the...

The remaining fish appear fine. I removed the Blue Tang and placed him in a 10 gallon QT tank w SQ 1.014. I will observe the remaining fish in the main tank (No room to QT them all). I have been adding Garlic to their food all along and will continue to do so w the Blue Tang. Will perform...

My Hippo Tang looks like he has air bubbles all over his body. Very Small white specks along his body. He is also lethargic. Feeds OK (Particularly algae from the clip). Difficult to tell if his eyes are cloudy as well. Small white dots on them. I also have a Yellow Tang, Maroon Clownfish and a...
