I just set up a Red Sea Reefer 170 2 days ago, and the stock ATO doesn't work, really ....doesn't work at all, no water comes out when float is down. I want to buy a Tunze Nano 3132 to use as my ATO. Question is , when I put my hand in the tank to arrange things or flip back over stupid snails...

Wow, that often. Thanks!

I don't know, that's why I'm asking if that could be the problem.

My zoas are getting taller. The lfs said it was because they aren't getting enough light. I've had to move some due to my duncans getting very big. I've put them higher on my live rock, that's the only place to put them. I haven't checked my water parameters in 2 weeks but this has been...

Thank you, Melosu58, your knowledge of reef-keeping helped me several years ago. I was reluctant to post any questions lately (past 2 yrs) because other people on the forum made me feel stupid for asking. I'm very happy to see you responded! Now, with your info, I have a place to start with the...

I have a dottyback in my 10 gal QT, I'm treating it for ich. I'musing the hyposalinity treatment. I'm using a refractometer, I've got the sg down to 1.009. I need to do a water change soon, maybe 1-2 gal. Does any one know the grams of salt to water ratio to get 1.009? I'm using Red Sea Coral...

My bristle-worm population is getting too high and I think they are eating my snails. I've noticed the worms are on the glass, sand bed, in empty snail shells, pretty much every where any time of the day. Any one have any ideas for a worm trap or ways to thin the population a bit? Thanks!

I know they paint some freshwater fish so I thought they may do the same to saltwater.

I got a Bumble Bee snail several years ago. It only has one yellow stripe. I picked up a couple more at LFS and their BB snails have several yellow stripes. Can you paint snails? :ermm: I think my new additions are painted, they are very black and yellow. Jill

I bought some candy cane frags last weekend. One is dying and the other isn't doing very well. I bought them at two different LFS. I also bought a couple of zoa frags that are doing well. I have a 37gal with this light: HO T5 Aquarium Light Fixture: Coralife Lunar Aqualight HO T5 Aquarium...

Here's the best I can do for a picture. They're two "legs" in the pic. I've seen as many as five but in different holes in this area. The last time I saw them they were in the same area. They always come out at the same time, also.

It doesn't look like a eunicide worm from what I've researched on the internet. It's not a bristle worm either, I have plenty of those. I thought it may be the legs of a Pom-pom crab I've recently added, because the legs are very similar in color, but I just fed the tank and I see both the...

My tank has been set up for 4 yrs. I've recently added some shrimp, snails and blue legged hermits. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a couple of red and white "threads" coming out of my live rock. I saw it again today. Four legs coming out of different holes in the rock, close enough that it...

I had 2 fish (a royal gramma and a clown) die in my QT last week. It's a 10 gal with a HOB filter, I seeded the foam block with my DT for over 4 months. I don't have any tank lights, just a glass cover. The RG wasn't eating so I figured he was sick when I got him. I had two clownfish in the...

I have 2 ocellaris clowns and a royal gramma in a 10 gal QT. They have been there for 2 weeks. One of the clowns is noticeably lighter in color than the other one, when I bought them I couldn't tell them apart. The brighter one is the "alpha". Could there be a change in color because of...

Four weeks it is!:thanks: I can't wait to finally have some color in this tank,lol. Jill

I bought 4 peppermint shrimp and they did a wonderful job of getting rid of aptasia. I had some really big aptasia, about the size of a quarter, that I thought were going to be there forever but they are gone.

I have a 37 gal with one Pajama Cardinal. He's been the only fish for 3 yrs with the exception of some snails. This is my daughters tank and this little fish cannot get ick, it would break her heart. I bought a Royal Gramma and a clown fish yesterday and put them in a quarantine tank. My...

Makes sense, I guess I'm off to the LFS to pick up some snails. Thanks, guys Jill

Thanks,that makes sense. With my diatom and cyno issues, is it okay to get some more snails now? I know I could use more.

I'm confused about cyno and diatoms. I have both. I'm in the process of turning a 37 gal FOWLR in to a reef. It has been set up for 4 yrs with only 1 pajama fish and 4 nasarius snails. I've recently put in new lights, 2 actinic and 2 T5s. 2 weeks ago I added 4 peppermint shrimp, which are...

Steve, I just got them Saturday. It looks like they ate a lot of small ones last night:dance: Thanks for the advice! Jill

Thanks! I wasn't sure about the term "injecting". I've tried dousing them with Joe's Juice with a pipette and it worked on some but not all. I know I have enough aptasia to keep the shrimp happy for awhile, if I could only get them out of hiding.... I'll have to find a flashlight:)
