I've got a cyano problem. The stuff is spreading on everything. I've cut back feeding and changed the water at a by-weekly rate. I don't know what other options I have... I hate to cut the lights back as I have clams, SPS, and anemones (Ritteri and Rose). Any suggestions on a cure for...

Generally, water flow is what they want. I've found mine lay over when they aren't getting enough flow. As they get bigger they like a little more to help support the mass. Eventually they'll require a trim. Attach to LR rubble and sell the pieces after the secure to the new rock.

The one with what looks like its guts coming out is expelling waste. Their mouth is their butt too. Should be done in a day at the most. No worry. The one with 3 mouths is giving you BANG for the BUCK. It is splitting likely into a 3 for 1 mushroom. In a few days the split should be...

I thought the flow was pretty good. But I've never kept this type of coral before. How much flow do they need? Can I get rid of cyano? How??

100% sure. They aren't even on the same side of the 90gal tank. Unless the Ritteri is moving the length of the tank a night and getting back to the exact location by morning... not even likely though. I've never seen a sting leave a red slime on a coral either.

My pink monti cap is not looking well. What can I do? I initially had it under 250W MH toward the top of the tank. It was under 400W MH at the store it was purchased from. This tank is very mature. Calc reactor, superb water quality. I've had a Ritteri growing (yes getting BIG) for 5...

Drinking RO/DI Okay, in my "EXPERT" opinion. Yes, you can drink RO water. I'm in the Navy. We spend 2/3 of our life on the ocean. We have 2 RO's onboard. They each make about 12,000 gallons of "drinking" water per day. The only thing we add is bromine to kill bacteria. With a crew of 340...

For Coralvue and XM Metal Halied bulbs has anyone else tried Inreefs.com? I've shopped there several times now and I'm quite pleased with their shipping prices and cost of bulbs.

How about, attempting to lay eggs and during the process in which they clean the area intended for receiving the eggs, they rubbed them off.

Ich Try a couple Neon Gobys. They cleaned the Ich off my tang and large tomato clown. Since I put them in my tank, I've not had another problem with Ich.

Remember, clownfish are from the Damsel family. By design they are ill-tempered and territorial. I thought I could get away with a mated Cinnamon pair and Tomato Pair in a 90gal tank. WRONG! The Red&Black was hammering the Tomato and I ended up moving the Tomato pair to my 37gal tank. All...

Ture and False Well, to keep nature in a correct context, I put the false in my 37gal. It has already taken to my frogspawn as a host since the bubble tip has a mated pair of Tomato Clowns as guests. I bought the Misses a new Mister (true percula). She didn't like him during the day, then...

If you have a female True Percula and a male False Percula will they eventually form a pair? T + F = Mated Pair :?:

The mouth opens and closes daily. Most of the time it's locked up tight. Just before the moonlights came on tonight, all the tentacles deflated and the mouth was open. It spued some gunk (du du) from the mouth. I haven't noticed the mouth closing up tight yet but it's only been an hour. Are...

I was told this was a Ritteri when I bought it... Then I found a real Ritteri and suspect this isn't one. Any idea what type of Anemone it really is?
