Greetings, Recently, for the past few weeks, I've had this type of algae starting to propagate on my live rock. There was a small section of it at first, but its grown into several clumps at various places in the tank. It's "hair-like" in form, in that its made of strands and flows in the...

Greetings, Thanks to everybody that had helped with my water quality issues from before. I have that straightened out now, but unfortunately, I think that my blue hippo tang might have contracted marine ich. I've seen some pictures online, but do not feel comfortable making the diagnosis on my...

Greetings! I have a question about my one False Percula Clownfish. Over the weekend my mother bought some fish for in my aquairum as a gift. She came home with three False Percula Clownfish and a Bulb Anemone. All three fish have gotten along fine since Friday, but this morning I awoke to see...

Greetings, I am in the process of setting-up a new saltwalter aquarium. My question is about the specifics of routing the plumbing for the sump. Unfortunately, the closest I could locate my sump to the aquarium resulted in about 25 linear feet of piping between the two. Of those 25 feet, about...

Greetings! I've finally had my 90 gallon tank (and 20 gallon sump) with fish and live rock cycling for a little more than a year, and would like to invest in some corals/anemones/etc. My question is: how much wattage do you recommend per gallon? And what is the best lighting method to attain...

Greetings! I have a question about a cauliflower colt coral that I have just purchased and has been adjusting to my aquarium water for about one week now. During shipping on the way home from the pet store the coral appeared to "shrink", possibly due to stress? And, after spending a day in the...

Greetings! I have had a few questions about live rock and substrate that I have wanted to ask: 1.) I seem to have this "red algae" that keeps growing a 1/4 inch thick layer on my rocks and substrate that I brush away every week or so, only to see it reappear. It isn't slimy in appearance, or...

Greetings, I wanted to see if anyone could identify this "red algae" that seems to be growing on my rocks and substrate. I clean it off the rocks and glass almost everyday, but it seems to continue to multiply. The cleaner shrimp or snails don't seem to want to eat it either. It is not stringy...

Summer is finally here, and without air conditioning in my home the water temperature in my reef aquarium is starting to creep over the 90 degree mark (I've had to shut the lights off during the day to slow the increasing temp). The behavior of my fish hasn't been affected yet, but I am going to...

I have noticed an odd behavior for my two tomato clowns that I bought from a local pet store and have owned for about one week. They were introduced into my 90 gallon system that had been cycling for about one month now. My lighting system has 4 blue LEDs that illuminate the water in the...

Hi, I have just begun to set-up my 90 gallon saltwater tank with 20 gallon sump. I have added salt to the water (which was purified using a reverse osmosis system) and brought it to the proper specific gravity (1.024-1.026, right?). I have yet to add any type of additive to the water. This has...
