Nope no macro algae at all. I am thinking bacteria bloom or something spawned. Do bacteria blooms come on that fast?

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...

Is your tank covered? Six lines are very prone to jumping. I thought my tank was covered well and I have lost 2 because they jumped through a small space. If you cant find your wrasse make sure you check the floor around the tank. Hopefully it did not jump.

Its 1350

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...

Oh yeah. Great idea. Thanks. I did not even think about a bucket with a lid. Haha

I will take a look. Do you think it will fit through the opening of a 5 gallon water jug or would I need a different container?

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...

Yes I have my own RODI. I check my water often with a tds meter. I am stocked on the heavy side so I think that is why nitrates hover around 5. I think carbon dosing can get me the rest of the way.

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...

Also they can touch each other so you can make an anemone garden of sorts with them. They will sting corals so just make sure they have some distance. If your corals are up on the rocks you dont have to worry about the rock nems climbing the rocks at all.

I have 2 of them. They are great. Like someone else said they rarely move once they are attached. Both mine stayed where I put them. They do like to be where a rock meets the sand, as they usually attatch just under the rock. They dont get too big so a 10g would be fine in my opinion. They are...

My CBS caught my green coris wrasse by the tail. I looked at the tank to see the wrasse trying to get free. I took that CBS shrimp back. They can be aggresive.

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...
