    How long after adding Green Star Polyps for them to open

    Yesterday I got some green star polys for my tank. Today they were partially open, but never fully opened and then eventually closed up again. How long will it take for them to get fully acclimated and open?

    Protein skimmer parameters

    I have a 60 gallon tank and was thinking of getting a protein skimmer that was rated for 79-132 gallons... would it be a problem that it is rated for 20 gallons more than my tank volume or would it still work the same?

    Micro bubbles from protein skimmer

    Power head too strong?

    I have a 60 fish only tank and I am think of putting in a power head with an adjustable flow up that can be adjusted from 300 gph up to 3000 gph. I was wondering if the max of 3000 gph is too powerful for my fish to swim against or will tire them out and cause problems? If it is to...

    Brown algae

    Ok, just to recap for myself... The fish won’t be affected by too much flow, but the sand/corals might be. I already have a yellow watchman goby, but he doesn’t like to dig his holes in the area where the Alge is the worst. I’ll try increasing the flow tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for...

    Clown fish with hole in its head

    One of my clown fish has a small hole in its head that does not go all the way threw, but goes deep enough to show his flesh on the inside. It has started to worry me and I was wondering if any of you knew what it could be and how to treat it This is a picture of the other side of his head...

    Brown algae

    In the last week my tank has been being consumed by brown algae. As far as I can tell there is no direct sun, and plenty of o2 in the water. Any suggestions on how to help eliminate it?

    Micro bubbles

    Just set up my protein skimmer and when I turn it on my tank completely fills up with micro bubbles. I have tried lowering the amount of air going into the tube, but if I do that the skimmer stops creating scum into the collection cup. What can I do to stop the micro bubbles?
