I may have an issue with water being too soft. I have a water softener that runs through the whole house. all other readings all good! Any recommendations on food supplements for the snails?

Can anyone tell me why snails float? They should loose the air pocket and return to the bottom, they have not and all but one is dead. They are not critical habitat but I hate to see anything die in my tanks. Thanks.

How do I get rid of hair algae? 125g sw lr ls no fish (all died) phosphates are less than .5 ppm but i still have hair growing everywhere? TIA Jason

It has been a week now and it seems to be getting a yellowish brown color to it. I'm currently feeding the tank with Kent ChromaPlex, Phytoplankton and dosing the tank with Calcium. Hopefully that will sustain it's recovery. Regards, Jason

I'm runnig around 5 wpg of VHO, also I read the the Heteractis crispa; H. magnifica; Stichodactyla gigantea, are host's to the percula clown fish. This is why I purchased this anemone. But I also heard that there are no WHITE host anemone..... CONFUSED! Here is the link in which I found the...

Is this a Long Tentacle Sebae Anemone? Or is it bleached? When I brought it home it looked great for two days then this afternoon It appeared to be turning inside out discharging waste, or something. Now the tentacles are flat and non-sticky I think I'm more pissed off than anything becuase I...

Do you have a LS bed? If so how deep is it? Also if your running a protein skimmer or anything with bio media, you need to clean them on a regular basis.

They are very interesting to look at. BUT! they have switchblades that will distroy any and everything! Good Luck, Jason

Is this your guy? If so, KILL KILL KILL!

Sounds like I'm going to be in for a long night. LOL

Ok....So I wonder what I should use to clean it!!! RO/DI water, tank water or tap water. It's dead anyway right? Although it may be a good process? I don't think I want to start a war with my wife by placing a bunch of dead, fishy rocks in her oven.....LOL Regards, Jason

I just bought 50 lbs of LR from a person who let there reef tank die off. The rock has been out of water for 2 months. How do I clean the rock so that I can be used as base rock for my established tank? And... can I use the larg pieces of dead coral for live rock as well? Regards, Jason

I guess i should have bought a iodine test kit before i bought and added the iodine! I just went to the LFS and bought a bottle of Kent ChromaPlex. To see if that will work. Everthing else seems to be fine except the leather? Thanks, Jason

So I have had a problem with my finger leather for about a month now and I'm starting to think there is something else I can do. It all started with a pod of some sort eating the flesh of my coral. Finally I handled it, found and got rid of it. I thought it was on it's way to recovery and then...

NO! I mixed my water and put it in the tank after two hours! I recenty was reading a pole that someone posted and found the information on water changes and mixing time. When I bought this marine tank it was already established for three to four years. The person who owned it prior to me went to...

This is what I did... But :cry: I canged too much water too fast and salt burnt a few things in the process :cry: I had a ton of new feather duster tube and mushrooms that I was really getting fastenated with and now they are screaming "I"M MELTING" :oops: The only thing good was my nitrates...

Also, Most of the traps that I have used, have a chamber in the middle that is capped off. This way the plankton doesn't float to the end where the worms can eat and go! Jason

If you have a BRISTLE WORM that is a foot long in you tank, Please!!! pull an all nighter and get pictures of that bad boy :lol: IMO you should go down to the harbor and barrow a crab pot :wink: Perhaps the hole that you drilled in the trap was too big? They can squeez through a prety small...

:idea: Bio Media in my skimmer. The surface skimmer box pulls in uneatin food, but it does not make it to the collection. I just rinsed it with some RO that I had left over. We'll see Thanks Jason
