I have a old reef aquarium that was neglected for a while. most of the inverts are dead. I have a bad aptasia problem. Is there something I inverts are dead. I have a bad aptasia problem. Is there something I can use to just Target. Inverts instead of dealing with each aptasia?

correction, i coaxed it out with some food, and it does have slightly darker stripes. Thats what I was hoping MT79, the LFS seemed pretty well stocked so Im thinking they just got a shipment in recently and the star may have not eaten in a while since it was in shipping, ect.

the star is greyish color, and has small bristles he moves on his bottom side. could it possibly be a brittle and they gave me the wrong one? it is solid color w/ no stripes like a serpent.

I added a serpent star to my tank today and it has been pulling my mexican turbos out of their shells and under the rocks to eat i assume. is this typical behavior?

ok, couldnt really think of a good topic for this so sorry for the vague topic. I have noticed peices of my live rock, mabye nickel sized peices are being broken off of the main rocks and end up in places in the tank nowhere near rock. any idea whats doing this?

yeah i havent updated info, its in a 100gall tank w/ a 30gallon sump. sounds like what it is doing hara. its gotten into some tight places, as far as the white spot, its cleared up, im running a 9watt uv steralizer and i have a cleaner shrimp.

I introduced a new regal tang into my tank about a week ago, when introduced he had a white spot on his tail, since then that has gone away, but the tang has been acting funny lately, hes been laying down on the rock or in holes and not moving for a few minutes at a time, then he goes back out...

Joes Juice is awesome at removing atipsia from rock. i just tried it, worked in seconds w/ no harm from tank.

I just set up a new 100gallon reef tank w/ 30 gallon sump, i am using a berlin turbo skimmer and am having problems with too mutch water going into the collection cup as soon as i turn it on, any advice on how to adjust the flow?

bump

awesome, sounds like a project for tommorrow

there are two other supports on the back along with the corner, is it possible i could reinforce the others long enough to slide the new sump in?

Ok so i got my new 100 gallon set up and approx 80 gallons of water in it w/ 80lbs of sand and i just got the stuff to set up my sump. problem is, the sump wont fit unless i remove a support from the back of the stand. the board is in the center of the back of the stand is approx a 4x1x36, what...

awesome, protein skimmer and sump should provide for adaquite oxygen levels so im probably going to plumb from the bottom, kinda hide some stuff under the sand.

I have seen tanks plumped several ways. spray bars, returns at the top, and having several returns kind of acting as powerheads coming from under the sand. Was curious if there was any specific reason or benifits for any or if it was all just preference.

curious as to how big of an over flow box i need and pump for my new 100gallon tank. ive seen them in sizes of 600 1200 and 1600.

not sure if a 55 will fit or not. dont have exact dimensions of stand yet.

how big of a sump should i run? how many gph? I have cured live rock approx 40lbs from the small tank. and planned on switching to a smaller sized sand then the crushed coral.

im fixing to get a new 100gal and transfer my rock fish and sand to my 100gal to "seed it". curious on how cycling works when doing this.

Im getting a new 100gal(60x18x24) and need to know how big i should go on the sump and pump. any suggestions?

awesome. thats what i was trying to do. any suggestion on types of bulbs? not brand but color/intensity.

I am getting a new 100gal(60x18x24) tank and I am not sure about my lighting. right now im kinda on a budget so vho seems to be my best option. I was curious if you thought 440watt balast w/ 4 110watt 48" vho lights would be enough for the tank, and what kind of bulbs are best to use. I plan on...

to tell you the truth thats almost exactly what it looks like. it doesnt seem to move around though, stays in one spot, but usually during feeding ill see one comming out of the rock.

I can try im not to good at taking pictures of aquarium yet, its alot harder to get a good quality picture of something small then i thought.
