I have a 30G reef and recently upgraded the lighting. I bought 2*130w PC 6500K and 14000K but I think for the size of the tank, 260W would be too much. I have decided to use 130w only but I am not sure which is better. I also have 2*20w daylight and actinic as a spare. Which is better? I am...

Thanks for the quick response. I only use sea water and RO water and change 10% every week. I did have the light 260w for 120l (30G) initially. I have since reduced to 130w over 12 hours but I will reduce even more. I was hoping that it would burn itself out like when the tank is cycling.

Hi there, I have a fish and reef tank for 6 months and things were going well until recently I had to move the tank to another spot in the house and re-arrange everything. In the last 2 weeks, brown stuff are appearing everywhere, substrate, glass and rock which I think are diatoms. I have...

I recently acquired a bubble coral - plerogyra and I have been reading about it. Someone mentioned that it should be fed with brine shrimp, krill etc but am I meant to feed it directly like an anemone or just feed the water? Someone also mentioned that the sting can be poisonious!!!! Please help

Thanks. What is the easiest way to frag the zoo? Do you just remove the polyps or do you actually removed the stony part as well?

I bought a nice zoanthid 2 days ago and the water in the bag was a little cloudy and it released some sticty material when handled and now it has some white stuff on it. What do I do? I have a second problem, the torch is always contracted because the Yellow Goby is always sitting on or next to it.

Recently I got myself 2 corals, Torst and Zoanthids but I want to know how to care for them. How do use attch them to the rocks? What do you feed them? Do you need a blue marine light for them? By the way, I have been visiting aquarium advice site for 2 months and I must say it is the BEST...

It is not attached and crawls around. I don't think it is an anemone. It is almost like a green 'matchstick' spider with no body. Strange.

I have a green 'thing' on the rock with long legs and no body appeared out of the blue. It could be from the new rock that I bought recently. Anyone has any idea what it could be?

I have a 6 weeks old aq with dead rocks and LR with fish and recently I noticed a lot of brown stuff on the rocks, substrate and glass. I presume they are algae and probably due to too much light. I have a 150 litre tank with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites. The fish are happy and healthy. What am I...

Thanks but what is a hyposalinity dip?

I bought some liverock yesterday but I want to cure it before putting them into the main aquarium. I read your article about curing the rocks and I have a few questions. 1. I can see some worms in the rocks, are you suppose to remove them? 2. How long before you can put them in the tank? When...

Thanks. I do not have any live rocks. I was told that introducing a live rock will increase the ammonia. Is it good to treat the parasite now or after the ammonia is down to 0?

I have a new fish only tank with a blue tank and 2 clownfish but one of the clown has white spots on the fins. The ammonia level is rising since I introduced the clowns. Nitrites is 0 but ammonia has risen to 0.5. The tank is 150 litres. What is the best course of action?
