Ok that's what I thought but some of my friends were saying it was bryopsis. I tried to tell them it didn't look like feathers or ferns. Just strings. But I ordered some phosguard and we are going to limit feeding. Thank you!

Not really sure what this is... Can yall help us?

If we removed the gravel entirely, would that cause any problems with the tank? I know there’s bacteria and stuff in there we need. I think we’ve checked the nitrates from the tap before and it was like 0-5. As far as breeding goes, does anyone know if the male continues to twitch after...

We'll start cleaning them more often then. How can we change the gravel to sand without stressing the fish?

We clean them every two weeks.. We have a carbon bag and a biomax bag in each of them. All rated for a 50-70 gallon tank.

We've been doing these big water changes for about a month now. We have two hang-on Penguin 350's. We are not using RODI water because the biology department is funding our research. We mix our own and check the salinity about every 2 weeks just to make sure its where it needs to be. The tank is...

My boyfriend and I are doing research with the biology department at school trying to mate a pair of clownfish. Here lately, we cannot seem to keep our nitrates down. We check levels every Tuesday and Thursday and every time we check, everything is normal except nitrates (which stay anywhere...

That sounds like a good deal. I think when I upgrade my lights I will get the true lumens! Thanks a lot!

Can you send me the link? And how often do have to change LEDs? I was looking at the Odyssea 4x24 fixture too. And everyone that I've talked to said to trash the lights. lol

It's 24" across.

I had my biocube set up for about a year and a half... I got the scallop about a month ago and it is awesome! It likes to hang out in the back of the tank but it'll swim around every once in a while. I feed it plankton twice a week and its doing great. I'll check those out too! They seem...

Great! Thanks so much!

Are there any other brands you could recommend? I'm in college, so I'm kind of on a $150 budget... ha

What's a good brand for a fixture? I found one on aquatraders.com for pretty cheap, but I'm really not sure of the quality...

I just transferred my 14 gallon biocube to a 26 gallon bowfront aquarium. The LFS let me borrow some lights until I get new ones, but I need to know how much I need. I have a clownfish, a sixline wrasse, a cleaner shrimp, a flame scallop, hermit crabs and snails in there. I have cabbage coral...
