Hi I currently use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt and have found it great apart from some un-dissolved bits. Oh yeh, and some crazy coraline algae growth! Are there any salt mixes out there that people would recommend or keep away from? Cheers. Paul.

Hi, still can not win the battle with this darn stuff I have tried... New filters in RDO unit meaning 0 TDS New lamps Emerald crabs Mexican turbo Snail Very frequent water changes Less feeding More intense skimming Lights out NONE of these have worked although it has not taken over the tank...

My sand shifting starfish recently died. He basically decayed to nothing over a period of about 9 months. I only have a small tank (a RSM 130) and a shallow sand bed. I would recommend to anyone who has doubts about getting one is to NOT!! They will die and they will die slowly. Anyway, my...

Hi. After battling and winning the war against green hair algae, I've come across another problem.... Red hair algae!!!! It's much much tougher than the 'nicer' green stuff, and that's saying something! Firstly, is it common? How do I fight it? I've recently changed both my light tubes to...

Is that too much to ask for? How do I get rid of the tiny white 'dust' particles in my water? Is it bad salt mix? I use red sea coral pro? Do I have too much flow? Any help would be appreciated. (are all fish tank owners as picky as me?!!)

Just a quick update on my tank... (if anyone's interested!) My battle with hair algae is beginning to be won. I bought my own RO DI unit and am now producing my own water. Getting TSD of around 1-2. My shop bought water was around 24!! I didn't know till I tested it. I have also stopped...

Hi, after delving deep into the rear of my tank and cleaning my skimmer, I have found quite a few of these. They are white, sort of like a maggot but dont move. They are attached in place. One end seems to have a tiny fan like tail, the other just has a hole. They are about 3-4mm in length...

Hi my second attempt with a pulsing xena has gone as bad as the first!! I buy them as perfectly happy specimens but as soon as I put them in my tank they shrivel, hide, then fall apart. Maybe ive been unlucky twice. Any help?

I have a Six-line Wrasse who either gets very aggressive or horny, I'm not sure which, when he sees his reflection! ( his eyes actually go red!) I have to put paper over the side of the tank to reduce the reflection as this side of the tank points to a dark corner. Would it be wise to allow...

Hi, is this something to be worried about? Not sure if the picture is good enough but it is very green, at the moment about 4mm long and looks sort of like 2 or 3 strands of lawn grass. It on a rock that isn't a rock actually. It's a pink clump of tubes. One of these has a little flower...

Hi there. I've had a marine tank running for about 3 months now. It's a Red Sea Max 130. I'm having this constant battle with hair algae! I don't think I'm over feeding the fish, maybe even under feeding as they are always hungry when I approach the tank. I have a big sock of phosphate...
