    Brown sand

    I can't seem to get rid of this algae growing on my sand bed. Appeared when I got rid of my goby. Water parameters are normal and nitrates stay around 10. I only feed fish once a day and skip a day during the week. If I leave the light off for a day or two it starts to clear up. I've had this...

    Filter maintenance question

    So I've heard that I should remove all of the foam pads from my filters because they hold nitrates or make nitrates impossible to manage. If this is true then what would filter out the waste or is this completely bad advice? I have two filters on my 75 gallon fowler. One canister and one HOB...

    Nitrate problem

    I am constantly fighting a high nitrate problem. I've cut back the feedings to once every other day but it still goes from 10 ppm to 100 ppm in a few weeks.

    Bulb anemone question

    I purchased a bulb anemone 5 days ago and it is hiding most of the time under or between rocks. Is this normal or is there something I need to do different?

    I'm fighting ick in my 75g fowler tank. Can't seem to add any fish without them coming down with it. They do fine in the qt but once added to the dt they just hide and come down with ick. I've let the dt set for a month, raised the temp, treated with "ick attack" but still seem to have problems...

    Can live rock kill fish?

    Just this morning everything in my tank had passed except turbo snails and cleaner shrimp. Water parameters are spot on and I have no clue what is going on. The only thing I can think of is maybe something with the live rock. It has been in the tank for months and cured before I placed it in. ???

    Brown patches starting to form on sand

    A few brown patches are starting to form on the sand. The middle of the tank is clear but on the two ends of the live rock the patches are starting. I have attached a few pics to show the brown and the direction the powerhead is pointed.
