After about a year my live rock is growing tons of algae and other junk. Can I scrub it or what can be done to make it look so gross?

I bought this super cool bubbletip nem today and im not sure where it should be placed. On the sand bed next to a liverock? Or on a liverock with a hole? I have a 125 gallon FOWLR. I have a nem on one end of the tank. I know they should be apart. Tips? :fish2:

I bought a starfish at my lfs that has been there for many months, about a week ago. I know they need to be acclimated very slowly, which i did. 2.5 hrs. It never looked great in my tank, which can be normal for a while, but he is now halfway between the sandbed and glass with one arm flopped...

Okay thanks. Are the led strips aquarium safe? Will they last with the salt and everything? Jumper where do you get those zoomed lights?

I have a 125gal fowlr tank. What would be the best and most eonomical lighting for me? I am not doing corals in this aquarium. However I do like the lighting that has the blue option as wel as the bright white light. Comments?

My water has a sulfury smell(rotten egg) . What could this indicate?

Okay thanks.

I havent been to the forum since October. Since getting all of your great advice then I have set up a 125 gallon saltwater aquarium. Transfered my sand, liverock, and filters from my previous aquarium to cycle it. I have added a few3 stripe damsels, my clown and anemone, a hawkfish that my son...

I would put all the fish in the same one. I wouldnt use less than a 20 gal unless you have to. Its just easier to maintain and lastly put some pieces of pvc in there for the livestock to hide in.

20 gallon long is perfect

I found out the hard way! Sucked! So just set up a qt right away! Its not as much maintenance as your dt because you should have nothing in it except for what you are qting and a filter, powerhead, and heater. It doesnt get dirty nearly as fast and parameters dont shift as fast as in your dt...

Because the 20 gal is a hex whichisnt really suitable for a sw qt.

If you go with at least 3 schooling fish, itll be all good!

Love the watchmen! Got 1 on my list as well! Soon hopefully!

Sorry to piggyback on your thread but do you guysknow of a good video to watch on building a simple sump?
