This stuff will make you want to pull your hair out .. It will cause you to cuss it out ... I had almost trashed the tank because of this stuff, I changed out LR I did every thing and this stuff was satanic !! I just could not get it to go , I clean the tank with in 12 hours this brown snot...

That I honestly can not say ...:D

That too :p but this stuff covers just about any surface you can imagine :D Tho with mine I dont ever recall thinking they were cyno ... but rather diatoms

I echo Mel here ... Tho I have had the opertunity to find faux lava I am wondering if this would be safe for frags ?

Dinos are often confused with common diatoms , however they do not burn out as such ... I had em and I hit them with H20 changes I dont believe raising the nitrAtes will kill them off but rather they consume them .... I had them nearly a year before IDing them and nixing them ....I did back to...

Actually it is amazing how quickly things can go askew ... especially in a newer tank ;)

Blennies should be ok alone but will fight with gobies .... Perhaps swap the PSG for a pair of fire fish ?

Yep this is what I ment as they grow they can be agressive and opertunistic lil buggers .... That was it ;) Mel You know me far to well !! :p

Do check with another kit ... tests tend to expire about 6 months after opening (this came directly from API , when I had issues) It is possible to be correct however if you can cross test this will tell you where you are :D In another post that you had you said you had a canister filter ...

Seems pretty good the emerald may give problems later on .... You could safely fit one small fish such as another clown ,or even a cardnial fish in there with the list you have , it is reasonable :D

spirorbid worms they are common with excess nutrients ... Will come and go often found in new tanks where things are not settled down .. Scrape off with a razor ... They are harmless filter feeders :D HTH

Fish are mysterious ...in that we dont quite understand all behaviours ... You can try to tweek that PH and see if it helps a bit ... and get some plastic seweing canvis that you can try and "seal " off the area of the over flow the plastic comes in clear , white , blue , black etc and costs...

Sweet rock work !! Honey I sold the couch the raft is under the tank ;)

I run my bio 8 from 7:30 am acitinic 8:30 am 10000k till 2pm 10000k acitinic 3pm moons 3 till 5 pm this is mainly due to me needing a dark room ;) My 10 from 11 acitinic noon 10000k till 7p 10000k 8 p acitinic moons 7/24/365 I have had them on these times for over 2 years ,and (no issues on...

The hawk and dotty are caution in a reef , You have a huge bio and this may be a big part of your issue ( too many tangs in a small tank , a tank this size will not support tangs ) thus causing issues with the basics of NitrAtes ...are you testing other things besides the basics . If so what are...
