I have this weird lookin stuff inside my macro algae and I'm not sure if it should stay or go. I have a little cyano on my macro, and also these white clumps of very thin spaghetti looking strings... the clump is about the size of a sea cucumber. The little...vines or whatever grow around the...

Alright I'm thinkin about getting a feather duster, but I'm noticing about them, that they eat Plankton...what's that. Is it alive or dead? I saw somewhere that you can bread it in your tank? So if I get a bottle of plankton and put some in my tank it'll breed until I get a filter feeder of...

I have a 90 gal drilled tank, and I'm wondering, is there a good way to get the cat hair, and other things floating on the top off the water out of there? I dont think it's causing much of a problem with the tank or anything, but I just see it from time to time

I have a 90 gal with 100lbs lr and 100lbs sand, and a refugium with 3 different types of macro algae. And of course a protien skimmer. Does a bio wheel filter just do what a refugium does or are there more benefits from having both? What's a good bio wheel filter to use on a setup like mine?

Ok so here's my delima. I just got a USA Outer Orbit MH & VHO for my 90 gal SW tank...it's pretty sweet. But the little feet on it, only raise it above the water about 4 inches, and I'm getting salt all over the canopy. It also came with a hang from the ceiling setup, but there's no stud...

I got my lights in the other day, and I have timers for the MH and the VHO...pretty sweet setup. Anyway, my question is how long should I have the the lights on for, I've heard that you should start the VHO and let them run throughout the day, and then have the MH kick on for a few hours in the...

What is this stuff...how do i get rid of it? I dont have any fish/crabs or anything besides sand and rock in my tank yet...what eats this stuff?

Is it safe to add fish if I have 1.5 PO4 8 PH 0 Ammonia 20 nitrate 0 nitrite

Is there a way to check and make sure my tank is fully cycled? I never really paid attention during the curing/cycling of my live rock/tank. I have a few crabs/snails living in my refugium for the last few days though, so I'm guessing it can't be TOO bad. But I do have 20 ppm nitrate and 0...

Ok so i have some ugly brown algae/cyano lookin stuff growing in my refugium, and since I just got my lights for my main tank, before I start turning them on all the time, i wanna get this problem taken care of...and start getting ready for some fish. I went to the LFS and the guy there gave me...

So I'm wondering....how much circulation....gph should a fish tank have? I'm pretty sure I dont have enough right now, but I also only have 100lbs live rock in a 90 gal tank....so it's probably not the most important thing just yet. But I'm planning on redoing my regium/sump and adding a large...

I have a Red Sea Berlin Skimmer hangin on the back of my tank now... only because my refugium isn't big enough for it to be under my tank. So I'm researching how to build a big and better refugium/sump under my tank. I've noticed that skimmers have to be so high out of the water for them to...

I'm not real sure what this stuff is, but from a few similar pics on this website, I'm guessin....maybe cyano...what is that, and how do i get rid of it?

Ok so I dropped about 100lbs live rock into my 90 gal tank, it looks sweet...but I dont have my lights yet...will live rock die without the lights?

Ok so for some reason, the guy at the LFS talked me into not buying the normal glass top, because the glass has lead in it. Should I just go order some unleaded from a glass shop and have them make me one, or is there another way/alternative to the glass top? I have to have a top, cause my...

So the guy at the LFS talked me into not getting the normal glass top that comes with a fish tank. I have a 90gal setup with about 125lbs of live sand in it right now, and 100lbs live rock should be here next week. I plan on having a mandarin goby when everything gets set up, and since they're...
