Ive ordered live rock twice from liveaquaria.com and both times it has been the best live rock I have seen in my area. -TD

I agree with that when considering the domino or blue devil damsel, but chromis are not aggressive and if you have a hand full they will school together and add a cool look to a reef tank. Just my opinion -TD

Well I came home from work today and my tank is about 75% clear all the sudden! This has been such a weird thing I still have no idea what it really was! I am ordering a protein skimmer tonight to help prevent something like this again. I appreciate everyones help! -TD

Im trying to figure out how to do "my info" and cant figure out where to go -TD

I did a 20% water change last night and it has helped some. I use only RO water in this tank. The water still looks milky white but it has cleared up slighlty. All fish/inverts look completly normal. FishFrik- How did you take care of this problem? The one thing that is still really got...

So does everyone think this is an algae bloom? I thought algae blooms were more green than white and had a foul smell? Also does an algae bloom hurt the tank inhabitants? And wouldnt I pick up something when testing my parameters? -TD

No it doesnt smell like a rotten egg. Its more of a strong salty smell. I cant really think how to discribe it. It almost smells similar to chlorine but I know nobody came into my house and poured chlorine in my tank.

I think I am having some kind of Algae bloom. Last night before going to bed my tank was perfectly clear and this morning when I got up the water was white and cloudy. There is also a strange smell that can be smelled even in the next room that is coming from my tank. My water perameters are...

Thanks for all the input! Im going to pick up another MJ 1200 and see what that gives me for dead spots. How do you all stand on flow direction? Pointed at the glass, pointed toward each other, ect? -TD

Basically I am trying to decide if it would be better for a tank to have 2 power heads that have a higher flow rate (Maxi jet 1200) versus maybe 4 power heads that have less flow (Maxi jet 900). I have a 75 gallon tank that I plan on keeping corals and I already have one maxi jet 1200 but...
