Hi,i have just brought a coral beauty home and noticed it has a massive hard lump at the base of one of its fins near the gill!.............anyone any ideas as to what it is? Or what to do about it?

My nitrates are down to between 5&10 now,i always have cheato in my sump and ive dropped the feeds down to once a day alternating with coral foods.1day corals nxt day the fish.thanks everyone for the advice,think im getting back to normal now :-)

Hey thanks for the inputs,dont think i need a canister my sumps a winner pretty sure by all opinions that i just need to lower my feedings a fair bit. With all the filtration ive got going on i reckon a few fair sized water changes and time il get my no3 back to zero and keep em there,they are...

The sump is designed for the water to pass through the bottom!,the walls of the sump run level with the top so water can only pass under!,ive had zero nitrates for months until now using this same system.there is also another 40-50 kg of live rock in the main tank.i was under the impression that...

Im starting to wonder if ive somehow changed something thats triggered off a new cycle and maybe i just need time for the live rock to work its nitrifying process again! I love keeping marine but it can be stressful and a guessing game.

All my parameter are perfect apart from nitrates bud!,somethings causeing a spike and im not sure what

Its a 600 litre system,ive turned over %40 in the last 7 days and the level has not moved! The system has been running over 6month and until recently has had zero nitrate,there is only 7 fish in there too! I need to find the cause of the spike but i dont know where to look lol

My nitrates are high and i am gailing to find the cause of the spike also,failing to reduce the levels they are up and will not come down! Has anyone any knowledge that can help cos im starting to loose snails and crabs!

I have tried feeding less,but nowt changed.il just cut down their feeds again and see how it goes.thanks everyone :-)

I use coral sand and id say the level is closer to 20 the water changes have been sufficient for months and my tank is nowhere near over stocked! These nitrates have kinda just appeared and i dont know why?

Feed the fish 2-3 times a day a mix of frozen brine,marine and algae flake.i have two tanks,both of which are in the same situation.all levels are spot on except for nitrate! My main tank is 450 liter with a 120 liter sump containing about 60 kg live rock alltogether stock with a pair of maroon...

I use water i get from my lsf,i tested it yesterday with the same test kit and it resulted zero! I just don't have a clue why the nitrates are up and nothing is seeming to bring them down.

I do %10 around every 10 days this morning did a %25 water change 7 days after the last %10...............there is no drop in nitrate.i use a nutrafin test kit with colour chart which indicates a reading between 20 and 40! But the reading just doesn't seem to change.all my other tests are...

Tried everything! My nitrates are up and they refuse to come down! Water changes are NOT! Working the level is staying up and i dont know why! Can anyone help??

Ok mate,thats what i thought.thanks a lot for the help :-)

Well the last batch i had didnt and it was from the same source!,so would you advise me to not use this batch? Thanks

Hi everyone,i just bought some phytoplankton,and when i took the lid off it stinks,its rank!! Like dead snails! Is this normal?? Or should i not put it in my tank??

What pump mate? Its currently fallow after a bad parasite only inverts in there

Yes am sure mate these are white pieces of food like marine mix,i can see tiny shrimp like things floating in the current,but they never seem to go in the overflow down to the sump.they just float around the tank!?

Got bits floating in my water.looks like remnants of old food.it seem to circulate the tank in the flow,but never seems to ho over the overflow into the sump? Anyone know how to sort it out? Cheers
