Hello all I have not posted n a while but I am having some strange occurrences with my tank upgraded to a 90 gallon from my existing bowfront I used to have; I have not updated my stats yet. I have been running the current system for about one year solid now no real issues until about a week...

I have a pair of two clarkii clowns that have cohabited for nearly four years, they have always been extremly well behaved together. I awoke this morning and everything seemed fine only to get a call at work two hours later that my smaller clown was looking like it was going to tip over. Ran...

using red sea coral life I usually don't ever dose anything leaving level corrections to my weekly pwc of 50 %. However I did use a dose of pro buffer dkh to address my alkalinity being so low for the first time in a year sounds weird but I haven't had to dose much of anything levels always...

I just tested my water for magnesium for the first time in an effort to correct my KH deficiency, curious thing though my tests came out outrageously high 1680 ppm. Tested it twice just to be sure.. could this be due to my low calcium levels? wondering if this revelation is harm full to any of...

Thanks for the reply guys; I'm running 2 65 w compact 50/50 antic/regular lights 12 hour light cycles (which im thinking of cutting back to 10 hr to control algae) I n addition I always cure my salt water 24 hours with a spare powerhead and heater I match relative PH temperature and gravity..

I just recently noticed that a few of my mushroom corals look really bad in the later part of the day for two days straight.. a couple of my other Kenya trees and green star polyp look a little rough too, I recently have had an outbreak of cyanobacteria in my refugium (lack of flow I think?)...

I was entertaining the idea of getting some Berghia nudibranch to control my horrible aptasia outbreak that is happening, it seems like the best non-chemical way of dealing with them. Peppermint shrimp and the likes did nothing for me I used to use Aptasia X but now I have an awesome BTA I dont...

Thanks so much.. Just uncertain what I had or how it should look I have been killing those pesky aptasia but they just propagate more and more mabey I ought to get some pepermint shrimp er somethin..

how do I rehab him he doesn't look too happy, perhaps more flow rate around him??

I have these everywhere and I don't know how to get rid of them I believe there are possibly nudibranch's that eat these things? that is if they are indead hydroids.. They sting my corals and my anemone does not like them at all, any suggestions??

/ The stuff on top of it is hair algae but i don t have a clue what these are possibly some sort of polyp?
