I have a 2-1/2 year old BTA that split about 5 weeks ago. It was in my 25 gallon tank and one of my clowns started hosting it shortly after it split. I took the new BTA out and put it in my 2 yr old 75 gallon but it has been moving around and the clowns were not wanting anything to do with it...

Off topic but how do you like your reef keeper? Looking into this for my next purchase. Last month I got a Tunze Osmolator and wish I would have go it from the start. Now looking at the Elite Plus or the Apex but just started looking into the different units. Any suggestions? You should charge...

I hope that is what it is - I will let you know for sure in a couple weeks. I have read many of your posts and links to ICH, so when I noticed your reply to this thread - I figured you were going to tell me it was ICH. Thanks for your opinion. This is the first I have heard of Lymphocystis -...

Thanks for the tip - I did google and it does look like Lymphocystis. It also looks like ICH if it comes in huge looking salt pellets - not small dots. I guess I am leaning to ICH because that seems to be the most common problem. I need to research both some more and time will tell. None of the...

I will look into Magnesium. I have been using IO Reef Crystals for about 8 months and only the last couple months started getting some of the easy or beginner corals. I have been trying to go slow as there is so much to learn - this last scare with whatever it is . . . I noticed you have a...

Liberty: The readings were low - I took them just prior to my last water change. That was one reason why I posted them as I was surprised they were low. Normally it holds around 420 on CA and 8 on KH. I do not test mag - I will start doing 5 day WC's and get them back in line again. I do feed...

75 Gallon Tank with 90 lbs LR 100lbs sand bed and 20 Gallon sump with Chaeto was cycled in June/July 2012. One-Spot Foxface added the end of August. Tank mates - 2 B&W Ocellaris - 2 Cleaner Shrimp - 1 Blue Spotted Watchman Goby - various snails & coral. Emerald Crab in Sump. Last addition was...

Any news on the Foxface? I have a one-spot Foxface and just noticed tonight that it has similar spots but mine on on his left side middle only. I was gone all day today and just noticed them now. They look similar to your pic's only in the middle of the fish.

I have a 75 Gallon and started (about a year ago) with three Koralia 1050GPM pumps. I have changed two of them to 1400GPM's and still have one 1050 in the tank - also have a sump with a 9.5 mag drive. I am happy with the flow.

I pull mine inside out and spray them with a hand held nozzle. After they are rinsed out drop them in a bucket of warm water with bleach for a day or so - then I rinse them again and I hang them in a empty salt bucket to catch the water as they dry for a couple days. I have four sets that I...

Welcome to AA and please post pictures so we can follow along. I have a 75 gallon and look forward to following the progress on your build. Any stocking plans? You can also use ammonia to speed up the cycle process - it worked great for me (on my second tank) - I wish someone would have told...

Do you use RO/DI water for your water changes? If so I had a similar problem and could not find a solution. Then I noticed my TDS meter was climbing and I changed my filters - after a few water changes the hair algae lost!

I appreciate the information and response to my questions. I will increase my lighting time (maybe even try 24/7) and trim every couple weeks :thanks:

Thanks Qube! I had some luck tumbling it for several months (although it was a pain sometimes to get it going after a water change - but once it started it would tumble good). Since it doubled in size it has been hard to get it to tumble again - I am going to try and let it consume most of my...

It is difficult to keep the Chaeto rolling in the (my) Refugium - it was easier when it was a smaller mass. I have been trying to get it to roll or tumble as a larger mass but no luck. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or found what works best - I might try to let it grow and consume my...

A couple questions on Chaetomorpha. I have a 75 Gallon Tank that I started in June with a 20 Gallon Refugium. I started with less than a half pound of Chaeto and it has been tumbling up until about 2 weeks ago. It has about doubled in size now and I would like some advise on the best method to...
