Thanks for all the great advice. I will be cleaning up the tank tonight after my daughter goes to bed. Feels good to be back.

Another Starting over question... So I posted a couple of questions in my last post and I have gotten some great feedback, BUT I need help with one other thing. How should I clean my old tank? Does it need a scrub with a brush and warm water? Does it need soapy water? bleach? Help...

Just to clarify - I don't have any of the LS I did. So should I get some sandbox sand and then seed that with some LS from the store? Thanks and sorry for any confusion.

Hey all, It has been a long time since I have posted or been on AA. We had a little baby in the meantime and she has been taking up my time. However, my clownfish died after about 3.5 years and I want to start completely over. When "she" finally died the tank had become overrun by algae so I...

So I have been having a hair algae and bubble algae issue. I have been doing consistent water changes and have been manually removing both but I wasn't seeming to get anywhere. I went to my local store and they were telling me that an emerald crab would be one of the best additions to the...

Howdy all, I have been away for too long but things have finally become somewhat organized in my life. My tank has suffered a little and I am down to two snails, 2 fish and coral up the whazoo! I am off to the store this evening to get some new crabs and a couple of shrimp. Hopefully they...

Ok, I will continue to manually remove the HA and do water changes. I also am going to turn off my lights for a few days. I will hopefully be able to get a handle on the algae that way. I will continue to do my water testing to make sure that I don't have any spikes or higher levels. Thanks...

I do have some Kenya tree corals. Obviously I don't want to harm them but I also want to get rid of the hair algae. My water parameters have been where they need to be the last couple of times that I have checked and I have been doing water changes every day since I returned home, I was on...

Ok, because it has been summer, I haven't had my heater in my tank. I am thinking that I need to put it back in but I can't remember if I need to keep the tank higher than 80 degrees (that is what it is reading at this time) Also, is 5-7 hours of light too little or have people found that to be...

Won't turning the lights off for a couple of days affect your corals that are in your tank?

Just wondered if anyone else caught the season premiere of ABC's Extreme Home Makeover. Ty and the rest of the crew built a gorgeous house, as they always do, for a disabled veteran. Let me tell you what...15 minutes into the first hour and I was crying. What an emotional two hours. Anyway...

Your family and especially your brother will be in my prayers. Sounds like he is doing well and is on the road to recovery.

Cost...Again, just put the fish in the tank and run with it. Also, I had never had saltwater so that was a new adventure in itself. Especially what fish I could put together and the small number of fish together in a small tank.

I tried adding more livestock as well but it did not work and I couldn't decrease the hair algae. I found that the best course of action, for me, was to manually remove as much hair algae as I could and then do water changes. I have been doing about a 25 or 30 % water change every other day and...

I have had a hair algae problem for about 2 months now. I added some more snails and hermits, and like you, mrpope, I did not see any impact. For the past week and a half I have done water changes just about every 2 days and I have seen a significant decrease in the hair algae that I have...

I have a 12 gallon Nano-cube and when I was doing water changes I did about 3-4 gallons. So about a 25 to 30% water change. This is what I generally do for my weekly water changes as well and I have had good luck over the past year. This is what I found to assist with knocking down the...

I attempted to fight the Cyano without using chemicals but to no avail. I used the chemi-clean and then kept up on my water changes. The Chemi-clean got rid of the cyano with no problem and I have not had a re-occurrence of it at all. I would suggest water changes every other day to start and...

Hey all I am looking at eventually getting a 90 or 100 gallon tank. My guess is it will be FOWLR or possibly a reef tank. Can anyone suggest a website where tanks are of high quality and decently priced? My LFS is having a 50% off sale and I may go there, but I will need to save some $ before...

I found Joe's Juice to work great. When I first started my tank I had a few aptasia, so I got some Joes and injected them. I think that I did this to approximately 3 aptasia and I haven't had anymore since. I have heard the same thing about peppermint shrimp, that sometimes they will eat...

Thanks for all your help. I will start attacking the root cause...as soon as I figure it out.

Wow! He's awsome looking. Congratulations on your cool find! Sorry, I don't have any idea if he is bad or good.
