Hello, I have a 50 gallon reef that has been set up for about 4 or 5 years. Tank has been doing great. I have SPS, LPS, two rock anemones, one clam, and several polyps and mushrooms. So this morning the lights had just come on and I took a look at the tank to check things out like every...

Hello, I have a 50 gallon reef tank that has been running about 4 years. I have had my ups and downs but it has been doing pretty good lately. My nitrates and phosphates remain mostly undetectable when I test with Red Sea test kits. I do run a phosphate reactor to keep my phosphates low. I...

Hello. I have a 50 gallon reef tank and I just started using BRS 2 part as my ALK and Calcium were were being depleted and water changes were not keeping up anymore. This is my first week and so far I am dosing 40ML of each. I will test after 3 days to see how my levels are doing. I am...

Hey I have a 50 gallon tank that is running without a sump. Yes I definitely would set up a sump if I had it to do over, but for now I have to run sumpless. I would like an ATO because I am getting tired and manually filling the tank and I will be going out of town soon. What ATO would work...

I need a little advice on carbon dosing on my 50 gallon tank. My levels are not bad but I am currently running at about 5ppm nitrate and 0.4ppm phosphate. I do weekly water changes, run a skimmer, and run GFO in a reactor which has helped with my phos alot. I am thinking about going with the Red...

Hey I have a question. This morning I was working in the tank and a small cluster of zoas that my urchin was wearing got knocked off. They floated right into the tentacles of my rock anemone. As soon as they landed he grabbed them and ate them. Will they hurt the anemone? Would the anemone...

I have a question about the Current USA Orbitz Marine LED fixture that came out recently. I am currently running a 4 bulb T5HO fixture with only a single reflector, instead of the good individual reflectors. I was thinking about upgrading to a T5 fixture with better reflectors or even 6 bulbs...

Hey I need some ideas. I have had my 50 gallon tank set up for about 2 years now. Everything has been fine and now all of a sudden I am getting cyano on the rocks and a little on the sand. I cant really think of anything different that has happened to cause this. It appears I still have good...

Hey guys. I am getting new bulbs for my 4 bulb fixture. Thinking about ordering 2 - ATI Blue Plus, 1 - ATI Coral Plus, and 1 - KZ New Gen. What do you think of this combination? Anybody run this? Anybody think something else that may be better? I like a nice blue tint but not too blue. Thanks.

Hey, I have 2 colonies of green star polyps in my tank. One is a large neon green and the other is a smaller more of a blue-green color. The smaller colony has been doing fine for the past 6 months and spreading. Within the week each day less and less polyps are coming out until today almost...

Hello, So I am having a problem with bubble algae. Of course its mainly on one of my main bottom rocks which cannot be removed. The front is covered in these things. What is best way to remove them? I have heard that popping them will spread it. I was wondering if that is true? My thought that...

Hello, I have had my midas blenny for about a month now. He always eats well and is very active. I noticed the other day he seemed not to be out as much and looked like he was breathing rapidly. Do these fish normally breath fast? Maybe I just have not noticed it before. Nothing has changed...

Hello all, I just replaced my powerheads in my 50 gallon FOWLR with 2 Koralia powerheads. I got one 1150 and one 850. Do you think this is good flow for a 50 gallon tank?

Hello, I have a 50 gallon FOWLR tank. I have gone through the initial diatom phase, followed by green algae, and then red cyano. They all cleared up and my tank was looking great! Now I have started getting brown diatoms and some cyano on my sand again. :banghead:. The only thing I have donw...
