Try www.saltycritter.com It's a small store in Ohio by me but their prices on Live Rock are excellent. I have some of their rock in my tank and it's great.

Depending on how bad your Cyano problem is Chemi Clean might not work. I have put that stuff in my tank and it did'nt do a thing.

Testing Testing 123 is this thing on?

Currently I have the Aqua C Remora HOT protein skimmer for my 75 gallon tank and it seems to work pretty good. I noticed that it is recommended up to a maximum tank size of 75 gallons. I seem to have a decent amount of algae growing around and I don't know if underskimming could be part of the...

I don't have any corals or Anemones so I really have no worrys in that department!

I just bought a Cowry for my 75 gallon tank. So far he is a algae cleaning machine!! Just wondering if anybody else has one and how they feel about them! Any pros or cons?

I'm in Parma. Thanks for the suggestions!!

I was planning on getting a bunch of Mexican red leg hermit crabs to deal with some of my algae issues and was wondering how you guys would recommend acclimating them. I've never bought crabs before and I'm not sure if they have special acclimation needs. Plus for a 75 gallon with quite a bit of...

No the algae has been around a long time prior to that. I've tried pretty much every phosphate/algae removing device/additive out there and no real luck. It must be something I'm doing wrong! I'll going to try to feed them less at a time and see how that works. Thanks for all your advice!

Welcome to the red slime club! Test your water for phosphates. Are your lights on too long? Overfeeding? Overstocked? Are you doing your water changes? Are your bulbs old? Are you using either RO/DI water? Don't bother with the red slime killer additives for your tank, all they do is temporarily...

No corals. My 10,000k bulb is only a month old. Yeah it is Red Slime. Good idea on the test kit, I've had this kit for over a year now and it might be time to replace. I pretty much have the same feeding routine as you. PO4 test are reading 0-.25 I'm not sure but it is somewhere in that range! I...

my tank has been up and running for over a year now! My substrate is crushed coral. I have been getting the same results from my ammonia test for at least 9 months or so! I don't know if it is the test kits reading wrong or maybe it's reading right from possible over feeding? How much should I...

Sony ES receiver and Phase Tech speakers!

I'm in the middle of a huge battle with red algae! I've changed alot of my evil ways with overfeeding, using tap water, leaving the lights on too long, doing more frequent water changes. I even added Chemi Clean and all it did was change my red algae into green. Now in my substrate it is going...

I'm feeding less and only once a day now. Tank lights are on 1 hour less a day. Using tap water filter, letting water sit 24 hours with heater and airstone/ air pump before adding for water changes. Finally broke down and bought PO4 test kit (why are they so expensive?) and the results were 0.25...

I have the dreaded red slime algae in my tank! I put Chemi Clean in my tank to clean it up and now it seems like it is turning green. Is this normal?

I have the same problem as you and I'm starting to use a tap water filter, leaving the lights on for a shorter period of time, feeding the fish less, and today I added some Chemi Clean which is supposed to get rid of the Cyno. I'll let you know if it works or not! If you find anything that works...

I did't mean to come out sounding rude or unthankful for your advice! I just never had any luck with that particular store! Maybe it's my fault for going on Saturday! I should go during the week before work. I do appreciate your advice!

I like the fish at Aquatic Tech but it is almost impossible to get help there! I will stand there waiting for 20 minutes for help. You'll get these people in there asking 50 questions with only 1 or 2 people working the floor! I was just there on Saturday and left after 30 minutes of waiting...

Over the weekend I bought a few Turbo Snails. They are pretty small and it seems like their having a hard time clinging to the glass. Is it because their little and with the circulation I have in the tank their being blown off the glass? Or is this normal for the smaller size snails? It seems...

Well first off I want to thank everybody for their help! From now on I'm going to use my tap water filter and let the salt/water mix sit in a 5 gallon bucket with a heater and an air stone for at least 24 hours!! I'm going to hold off on the RO/DI unit until I see how well the tap water filter...

My tank size is 75 gallons. I use city water. When I mix my salt water I mix it in a 5 gallon bucket that is only used for aquarium water. I have a Aqua C Remora hang on tank protein skimmer an Aqua Clear 300 power filter 2 powerhead 402's for circulation. Nitrate is 0ppm Nitrite0ppm Ammonia...

This week I lost 4 blue damsels (2 with the yellow tails) and my bi-color pseudochromis! Oh yeah I also lost 3 or 4 turbo snails. I have'nt added any new fish in a year and all this seemed to happen after my last water change! I don't see any signs of disease. My last damsel was acting fine on...

What is the best bang for the buck RO/DI filter on the market now? How much$$ and where to purchase it? I've never used this type of filter before and was wondering how often do you need to replace the filters? I know they are pretty pricey and if I have to change them every week or so I might...
