Yeah it is an RODI. I am not sure what the exact reading is. I ran out of test strips last week. lol I treated the water with a nitrate reducer and it didnt affect the algae, so im not sure what the issue is. Is there something better to clean the glass with than like a metal razor? I heard...

It has been running for over a year and was healthy and beautiful until the anemone died. The water parameters are fine, slightly high nitrates but not dangerously. The light is HO something, it was specific for reef tanks. I dont remember the exact description. I had some slime after the...

SO, I dont know what else to do. I have a thirty gallon tank with two clowns, a dragonette and a dragon wrasse. over a month ago I had a bubble tip anemone die. I managed to get it out of the tank pretty quickly but the poor thing has never recovered ( I did not have the wrasse when I had the...

how do i make the diatoms go away?

:banghead: Soooo, I have green slime that is growing on my sand, along with brownish slime like stuff that grows with it. Every night my turbo snails eat it all, and e very morning its back. Im not so much concerned with what it is, as how to make it go away. I also have purple, mushroom(like...

I have a 30 gallon and it was full of green algae, getting out of hand, and i got 3 turbo snails and they completely cleaned the whole tank

its just sitting, against the filter intake, on its side

just got my first anemone-long tentacle I put it in the tank, turned the powerhead and lights off and set it where i wanted and kinda rested my hand on it to keep it there, jut for a few seconds It is moving/floating around the tank, but keeps going to the filter, mouth first, and staying...

its a 30gallon. And yeah nitrates are 0. I started the cycle just with time and then finished it with a damsel, who is being relocated before I get my other fish. I havnt done a "water change" but i have so muc evaporation going on that i have to add about 5 gallons of water every week. the...

ok so the tank is cycled, now im getting two clowns, and i need a shrimp/crab or two to help clean the tank. any rocomendations as for what kind? I plan on having a pink bar goby/shrimp relationship but i wont be getting the goby for a few weeks. so what kind of shrimp should I get and how many...

I found a 30gal tank with stand for 15$. Its used, but its clean and I can always clean it up.

well I have the location in my rooom, and the 30gal comes with a stand, and the one I have can hold up to 200pounds

awsome thanks :) As for the anemone i have discounted that, I will do some coral instead I plan on a 14 gallon oceanic biocube tank I did however find 30 gallon tank with everything in it and a stand on craiglist for 65$. Im going to call about that later today. in which case I would save...

thanks, I think it should be ok. My 10 year old brother piled all kinds of stuff on it before I took it :) lol I think its small enough that the weight will be pretty evenly spread out without damaging anything

Gold Neon Eviota Goby Pinkbar Goby Wheelers Shrimp Goby Yellow Stripe Clingfish Orange Lined Cardinalfish Firefish Clowns Those are the fish im interested in. plus maybe a serpent star, and a piston shrimp. Any thoughts?
