Ok thanks. Question, can the saltwater being brought in have the red algae?

Did you get rid of the algae? I have red algae all over my rocks and can not seem to control without scrubbing weekly. Any ideas.

Hello, have a small Yellow Watchman. Bought him in the normal yellow color with the blue dots. Seemed to be stressed out when he entered the tank. 65g reef with docile fish. During this time, he started to get dark brown/black vertical stripes on the back half of his body. he is happy now...

Hello, Did a 10% water change tonight on our tank. Saw what looked like copepods swimming around in the filter area? Are these Ok for the tank? I figure the wrasses would eat them. Thanks, Squallius

I have a 2" pink anemone, relatively thin, which came with the live rock. is this bad for the tank. Mostly invertebrates in the tank. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks, Lou

The tube looks empty now. Just leave it in the tank for a few days?

Large feather duster was doing fine for 2 months in new tank. Did 10% WC on Monday. Feather duster left it's tube and went into a hole. We could see it in there yesterday but it was closed up. Today we checked again ad there is no sight of it.

Sounds good. Thanks.

Nice new tanks. The background looks great.

I agree. I am going to start the water changes. I think definitely has something to do with it. I am probably not exporting any of the nutrients. I have some old salt from about 2 years ago. Should be OK? I am going to mix in a few gallons of the distilled water.

last fish, the Queen Anthias died about 10 days ago. The Diamond goby still alive and seems to be doing Ok, except for the occasional visits to the surface for gulps of air? Have not done a single water change. Add about a gallon of distilled water every 2-3 days, right into the section...
