I've been battling algae for a while now, red and green hair algae mostly also some other type of red algae, not sure exactly what it is. Anyway, with focusing on getting my phosphates down, it's gotten a lot better, however, it still grows rapidly towards the back of my tank. Especially on...

I'm having a horrible bout with hair algae (red and green). I've changed the light bulbs, put phos-zorb and de-nitrate in the canister filter, and started trying to scrub the algae off the rocks with a toothbrush at every water change. While there's still coverage over just about everything...

So, I just picked up a sixline wrasse from my LFS. I have frozen mysis and frozen brine that I've been feeding my clown. So, my question is.... Besides the frozen mysis and brine, is there anything else I should be feeding him? What's the best diet for a sixline? What do you feed yours...

I'm trying to decide on my final stocking list.... Besides some snails, peppermint shrimp, urchins, two porcelin crabs and a red mythrax crab (all crabs and urchins were hitchikers), I've got two small percula clowns right now. I want to add two banggai cardinals and a flame or coral beauty...

I just added my live rock from liverock.com yesterday and want to begin my cycle. Today I tested the levels and my ammonia is at 1.2 and nitrite is .3. My Question- How high should the ammonia levels get for a good cycle, and if it's already at 1.2 after one day, should I still add a shrimp...

On the side of my rock, there are these encrusted pod things that open and close and a little feather like arm thing shoots out and pulls back in. It's like they're breathing. What are they?

I just added about 50 lbs of live rock to my 100 lbs base rock in my 72 gal tank. I don't have any fish yet, but in prep for the LR, I've been running the PH's, and even kept the lights on (regular fluorescent, it'll be a FOWLR). The books I have said that 75 deg. is the a good temp, so I've...

I've been researching skimmers for my 72 gal tank (not yet set up), and I've decided that I like the Aqua C remora series the best. Does anyone out there have an opinion on the tank rating for those two? The remora is rated for a 75 gal tank, but how accurate is that really? Do I need to...

We've planned our system, found an awesome deal on a 72 gal bowfront tank w/stand & hood and I have one last reservation about starting. We live on the 2nd Floor of an apartment building. It's a pre-war building in NYC, with old school construction- plaster walls, hardwood floors, brick...

I've been researching setting up a SW Aquarium for a week or two, reading books and online resources. I finally went to a local aquarium shop to do some pricing and ask a few questions. I was surprized by a few things. I'm planning on a 55 gal FOWLR tank using the LR, skimmer, and a cannister...
