I have had star fish for a little over a year. Today I noticed he has a grayish fungus on him. He also seems a little lethargic What do I do howard

I have started to see pink spots on my glass. Most of the spots are in the back near my live rock. Sometimes I see them in the front. They are very crusty and hard to remove. Normally I use a scrub pad to remove them. Are these a problem and what causes them? Is there a better way to rid...

I am trying to set-up a regular addition schedule of chemicals. I know I need to add iodine, calcium, carbonate, and vitamins. What other chemicals do you all recommend?

I was a fish killer I had te same problem. I would put fish in and they would die. What I did in hindsight is add too much to quickly. I am taking a much slower approach now. It has allowed me to reduce my nitrates by 75%, which I believe I was killing my fish. So I am taking my time and...

Thanks very much for you help. :D Is there anything else I need to test for (ie phosphates, Iron, Copper, etc)? Should i keep up the weekly 10% water changes? Howard

I meant 80 and not 90 degrees. My tank is actually 44 gallons and I have live rock along with a prizim skimmer. I cycled my tank for around two weeks. At the time. I finished my cycling my nitrates were near zero. So I added a blue tang and two clown fish. I used a drip system to add the...
