Yes the PH came down to 10 and the salinity is up to 1.025 instead of 1.023. Yes one powerhead is rippling the surface and the other goes from one corner and bounces off the front glass about the middle of the tank. I did have a cyan bloom that happened all of a sudden too. Very strange to...

Well apparently their is a problem. The tang isn't doing so good. She's been hiding in the rocks for 2 days. I can barely see her and she's breathing really fast. I did a 40 gallon WC yesterday. Hope that helps. She hasn't ate in 2 days either.

The nitrates are usually 10-20. I asked on another forum before finding this one and was told with the fish and other creatures I have in the tank it wasn't bad. I do know a couple times when my wife had to feed them I found out she would just drop a frozen cube in the tank. I always thaw it...

Well the tang is fine. It's just hiding in one of her holes. The tang and angel were always together. Do fish grieve? I can't imagine what could have been on my hands or arms that could have cause a fish to die but I guess it could have happened. Might have been a little whiskey?

My wife just textd me saying she also hasn't seen our little blue tang all morning either. I just don't get it. The clowns and engineer goby seem fine she said.

Salinity is 1.023 (low) and temp is 80.2

My wife just sent me these. She hasn't done the phosphates or salinity yet.

Yeah I check the water weekly and will do so when I get home. It's a 75 gallon. The other fish are 2 small clowns (about 1.5 inches) small blue tang (about 2 inches) and an engineer goby. I have had the angel right at 4 months and it has ate and acted fine since the day I put it in the tank. The...

When I fed them last night they seemed fine. Only thing different is I added 2 new Korila's power heads. I went from one large one to two smaller ones on both ends. Haven't checked the water parameters in a week. I will do that when I get home from work. Could he additional power head or...

Yeah I knew the pink and purple was coralline algae but now it's turning a rusty colored dark brown. That's the only rock doing that. Just had me curious. Thanks for the reply though!

Also any reason why this rock is turning brown? It turning really purple and pink. Could my LED be too bright?

I just started noticing this stuff about a week ago and it seems to be getting worse. Almost looks like a collection of dust. I hope someone can tell from the pics. I had a power head (suction cup) fall half way off and thought it was just sand. Obviously not! Saltwater aquariums are similar to...

So I've been told. Mr X uses the same lights on his 300 gallon tank and has a ton of corals and they are beautiful!

LOL, oops. I was putting the kids to bed while I was posting. Sorry about that.

I'm a newbie of course but I bought a green leather and a purple pulsating Xenia from a friend of a friend and he gave me this green stuff. I think he called it green polyps, but my memory is horrible. Also the tan thing growing on it, is it a mushroom? In the last week it has doubled in size...
